Zhi Yang’s 24th birthday!
Today is ZY's birthday... We celebrated with him at Naili's Place, Sentul. HP was at Kuantan that time and so he didn't turn up. Happy birthday dude!
These 2 guys were like coming for camera exhibition rather than birthday celebration.
Our foods... Rendang ayam is nice (and cheap)!
Our drinks... Mango twist is a must-try item. Too bad i ordered the tasteless guava juice. The one from Peelfresh can taste much more better.
As usual, LG finished first.
PH, YW, ZY and I.

The birthday cake - Cappucino Cheese. I have no idea how it melted and it looked gross! Sorry dude.
ZY- the birthday boy.
ZY's birthday present - a nice watch from swatch! I guess HP may want to have a clearer look and here's a LINK!
A trip to Pulau Perhentian.
I just came back from Pulau Perhentian yesterday night. It was a “class trip” despite of the fact that there was only 10 from my batch turned up. But still, we had fun.
Day 0 – We reached Titiwangsa bus station at 9pm. It took us 8 hours from KL to Besut. I guess I was having bedsore!
Day 1 – Reached Besut at 5am. Had breakfast twice down the line and waiting for the speed boat like forever… We finally reached the island at around 11.30am. After taking lunch, it was snorkeling, snorkeling, and snorkeling.
Besut jetty at dawn.

"Get your life jacket everyone!" we were on our way to the island.
We finally here!

TAXI@service.com, they even have a website?!
Day 2 – Snorkeling, snorkeling, and snorkeling again in the morning. We had some trivia games at night – “Mona Lisa & banana-leaf tree” in which we "served" with Pepsi+Whisky when we acted wrongly.
It was nice having a nap under the sun and on the beach, after snorkeling for the whole morning.

What were they doing? Dating...? Oh no!

The making of... Pyramid?
It was actually Penile-mid (penis in the middle with balls and hairs)!
It was Jeremy to be "buried" alive.
Time to camwhore... YW with the big rock.
YD with the big rock.
PH with the big rock.
And... me with the big rock.
I caught YW main kayu tiga.
Alan with the girls (SF, SK and WY) at dinner.
Girls (YD, SF, WY, SK) and guys (YW, me, PH).
Jeremy wearing YD's bikini... Wow, he really got "breasts" eh!
Day 3 – Woke up damn early (at 6am), had breakfast and got back KL! I was having bedsore plus shoulder-sore (due to the sunburn)...
Say "Goodbye!" to our room.
* i had fun! *

Sem8 results OUT!
I couldn't sleep the night before. You may/may not know, i am actually having this so called pre-result-released-nervous-syndrome (PRRNS). Well, i popped in lorazepam again. Hopefully i will not develop tolerance that soon.
After 8 hours of pseudo-tachycardia soon i woke up, I got my result slip at AAD and I PASSED!!! Although with flying shits not with flying colours, but I’m still very happy as I’m convocating on 24th May 2008.
I felt really surprised when I found out there is only Chi Fei in the Dean’s List and he is the only one graduating with a first class honours (and for sure he is also the Gold Medalist) in my batch. To those who are very close to it but ended up with second upper class honours, we’re still able to make great pharmacists in the near future!
It will be ME in the robe, hood and mortar board! Hurray. (Please bear with me as I have been dreaming long for this day!)
I’m going to make my family, relatives and friends proud. And now I guess i did! =)
To that special someone (you know who you are), thank you so much for all the time you have spent with me. I would not have made it this far without you. Thank you, once again!
It’s time giving out invitation card!

Does it come to an end?
Finally, we finished our FINAL final EOS8 exam today. Yesterday paper was a 2-hour wrriten paper on Clinical Pharmacy IV, I did questions 1 (pharmaceutical care plan, compulsory question) and question 3 (therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) on vancomycin). TDM is my weak part. You might ask why I did not choose to do question 2 (drugs use in endocarditis, unstable angina, COPD and rheumatoid arthritis)… Simply because I was running out of time after I spent 75 minutes on question 1, I guess I will need another 60 to 90 minutes if I were to do question 2. At last, I decided to do question 3 as I thought I could finish all the calculation in 45 minutes. At the end, I could finish (at very last minute) but I wondered if my answer was correct as I did not have enough time to double-check. Just hope I can pass that paper.
Today paper was OSCE (objective structured clinical examination). Well, there were simulated doctors or patients in 7 of the 15 stations and we were required to complete the tasks given which were (1) responding to symptoms, (2) drug history taking, (3) counseling on effective use of device, (4) therapeutic drug monitoring, (5) counseling on effective use of medications, (6) prescription screening and (7) drug information queries. The rest of the stations were preparatory or rest stations. In general, I think I did much better than the previous mock OSCE’s, where “it was totally a nightmare” (quoted from Ms. July). Hope I can pass that paper as well.
After exam, IMU gang and I decided to go One-Utama for lunch and movie after a long discussion. We dined in at Dragon-I, the food was not bad but we felt cheated as they charged us on the tidbits and soft towelettes (which we were not using at all). And it was not cheap!
Dragon-I Restaurant.
Siew-Long Pau.
We watched Nim’s Island after lunch… Darn! The movie was so damn bored and 4 (out of 5) of us fall asleep while watching that movie. A “BIG THANK” to LG for his interesting version of the synopsis. I would rate the movie 2.5/10.
As usual, we lepak here and there before headed home. And our hot topics of the day were “Do you think I can pass the exam?”, “Which state should we apply for the government service?”, “How to get the hospitals that we wanted?” and some guys’ talk.
Does it come to an end? For B.Pharm (Hons), I would say YES and we all will graduate soon. But for our friendship, it is a BIG NO-NO…
So I say a little prayer and GOD… please let us pass!
* WE ALL WILL PASS!!! *
