Grateful.

I had a PBL session for musculoskeletal system this morning. Prof Peter Pook is the facilitator for our group and I’m the leader for this time. We felt so stressed as his expectation is so high!

We had another stability & compatibility workshop after that. Metronidazole should not be refrigerated but to keep at temperature between 15 – 20 deg C or else crystals may form. However, such crystals will dissolve upon warming to room temperature. Avoid prolonged contact with direct sunlight as it can lead to degradation of the product (short-term exposure does not affect the stability significantly).

I got the “Cupid goes on strike!” video from Alan. That event is one of our fund-raising activities for our convo-mag. The video is damn funny. Have a look!

May “rated” us and gave us a lecture on “What gals think?” during lunch time. LG got the highest mark while ZY got the lowest mark overall. ZY seems not so satisfied with the marks given. No offences anyway.

I went e-lab to meet my other colleagues for the toxicology project, after lunch. We compiled the write-up and found that there is a minor problem with the content. We decided to discuss about the issues tomorrow.

While waiting for YW outside Dr. Ong’s office, I managed to observe the construction workers doing their “chores”. Out of sudden, a lecturer came to me…

Lecturer: What are you looking at?
Me: Hmm. I’m observing how the construction workers doing their job.
Lecturer: And what you see?
Me: I can see myself as the lucky one, as I’m standing right here but not on that piece of “fragile wood”.
Lecturer: Good. Be grateful of what you are having now!
Me: Yup.

It is true. Although I have been mumbling (to everyone) about the hard life I have in IMU, but still I feel grateful as I have a chance to study and become a better person, a chance to become a pharmacist and to help others in need, a chance to become professional and make my family proud… and more “a chance”. Looking at the construction workers, they were standing on a piece of “fragile wood” and it was 3-floor high without any safety measures! I could not imagine myself on that. Can you?

Life is always unfair. But I do feel grateful as I am the lucky one.

Family Day at Haagen Dazs, BSC.

I had my dessert session with my family at Haagen Dazs, BSC, at night. Guess who I bumped into?

Here is the pic. I snapped it.

Some updates.

I was damn busy for the last few weeks. Here are some updates of mine:

No more HTAR (Hospital Tengku Ampuan Rahimah), Klang! I have been doing clerking there for 8 days in 3 weeks. It was so damn far from my place!
Visited Malaysia Hospice. To all those cancer patients there, be strong! (Although they are STRONG enough).
I made so many mistakes in the clinical pharmacokinetics class test. The time given is just not enough! I guess I can hardly pass this time.
Presented case studies on aplastic anemia and therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of valproic acid. Drug information presentation will be on Monday!
Going to help out for IMU’s open day on Sunday.

Few more weeks, few more weeks and I’ll be free from those stressful events in BPharm. (until sem 7 begins).
