E.O.S.

E.O.S. is the most feared thing among IMUians every semester.. This sem has got no difference either.. Everyone started preparing three if not two weeks before the exam.. It was when studying became an everyday routine.. Life was just about studying, eating and sleeping.. The whole month was really sickening..



To be fair, not everything during EOS was bad.. There were also things that i miss during EOS.. I miss the time when the whole kiasu bunch of people studied and had their lunch and dinner together.. It was fun really.. Not to forget funny things that can only be seen during EOS..

-Andrew's mantra-

This time i wasn't alone.. If XX (to protect his/her identity) has oxygen water and YY (to protect his/her identity) has aromatherapy, i have these to accompany me.. I had never taken all these before for exam and this was my first.. lol.. Typical kiasu chinese..

-brands, i am addicted to u-

-it only lasted two to three days-

-Vit C, not sure whether it works. Becareful though as it can precipitate the diarrhoea that we have during EOS-

Thankfully, it's over now.. Sem 5 was never easy and i am sure all B107ians are anticipating for the results.. Not for the amount of As that we can get but to pray not to fail any of the paper especially community pharmacy.. After all the effort that we had put in, this is what we get.. How pathetic.. :) Anyway, we have done our best.. What will be will be.. No regret...

muahahahaahhahahahaaaaaaa............

don't ask why...

a day in Nottingham University

10th October 2009, together with a bunch of IMU students, we went to Nottingham University for the 'Pharmacists meet Pharmacists' inter-uni event.. Had actually considered for quite some time before i finally made up my mind to join... Anyway, it turned out to be a good one, thankfully....

Nottingham university is fantastic... I just love the compound that they have since IMU doesn't even have one.... The scenery there is awesome.. But one thing bad about this uni is that it is located too far away from the city which means less shopping and entertainment for the students.. :)

I'm grateful to have met wonderful people from different universities.. Not forgetting the flawless MC, Natasha...

Thanks Pharmnotts for the event.. :)

Team Dynamic Workshop

The attendance for PHP class has always been unpredictable... At times, the class could be full and once in a while, the attendees would not even exceed 20.. I guess it's all about timing..

But it was great that most of the students were present last week for the Team Dynamic workshop.. It didn't look to be a usual class to me.. More to a motivation or leadership seminar we usually have outside when we have plenty of activities... When balloons and eggs is a must... :)

It tickled me to see B107 fooling around with balloons... A funny sight when they all put down an ego side of them and started to show their true self with balloons.... Professionals do have their naughty side too.. :)

The climax of the day was a game aimed at fostering teamwork among the students... We were supposed to built a structure out of straws and cellophane tapes to support the egg which was to be dropped from the staircase.... and the eggs should not break...

My team was one of the successful ones.. cheersss.. :P happy...... Anyway, great job everyone... We all had a nice time...

Hola Singapore..

Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to all the muslims.. :) The one week holiday came just on time when everyone needs a break... Though it's a short one, i think everyone really enjoyed the break back in their hometown.. As for me, i stayed back in KL because i had another plan... I went to Singapore later that week with Xinni...

Hola Singapore.... It is such a great country... A country so nice and clean put together with great architecture...

We arrived at around one o'clock in the afternoon and headed straight to sembawang where we stayed.. Only managed to go to Woodlands civic centre and few other smaller shopping centres that day..

Second day, we went to Vivo City opposite Sentosa.. However, we didn't manage to cross to Sentosa as both the time and weather didn't favour us.. We could see sentosa from here though... I am sure i will be here again so till next time i will surely step onto Sentosa Island... Back to Vivo, it is a nice place to visit.. Nicely built building which houses a great shopping centre...

Night time, we continued our journey to Orchard.. Orchard was not lit up as grand as it is during Christmas... To me, it is almost the same as bukit bintang plus it is a bit cleaner... Shopping centres like Takashimaya and Isetan line up the whole stretch of Orchard road.. And this time we have one newly opened shopping centre, ION... It looks a bit unusual but i wouldn't say it is nice... Just unique..

We were lucky to have met a photography session for an advertisement outside Louis Vuitton.. One thing for sure, it is not easy to be a model... She stood there for more than half an hour being blown by a big fan... By the time we left, they were still not done yet.. Pity the model..

-spotted a Ferrari outside ION-

Third day, we went to Bugis and we managed to walk Bugis Junction as well as Bugis street... This time, it looks like Petaling street in KL... A high class Petaling street selling ciplak stuffs...

Night time, we headed to the city, hoping to see my durian, the esplanade... Lucky us or should i say unlucky us... F1 race started on that day... The whole area around the esplanade was sealed up for the race... -_-!!! Not able to see my durian close up, we moved to plan B which was to see the Merlion... It was not easy to find that little creature plus most of the places were blocked because of our dear Hamilton toying with his car in Singapore.. In fact we almost gave up before giving our last try at Raffle's place station...

From that station, we walked to clarke quay and to the merlion park... The atmosphere there was fantastic.. Marina Sands Casino is just opposite... Though it is still under construction, i can imagine how it would be like in the next few years.. This place is gonna be happening... Must come again once it is completed...

I realised that i complimented Singapore lots.... Yes, they are good... But, they too, have rooms for improvement... Similarly, Malaysia is not that bad either, believe me... As soon as i past the immigration counter, i feel safer because i am in my own country... Still, it is home sweet home.... Till next time, Singapore.... :)

Malaysian team in F1??

Sometimes it is good to aim high.... And yeah.. Our prime minister is aiming so high he is going big this time... He is trying to potray tun dr mahathir in carrying out megaprojects... To do something others think will be impossible... This time, to enter a very own malaysian team into the world of F1 racing..

I am proud of you, malaysia.. but still... It's kind of funny seeing proton racing together with cars like ferrari, mclaren-mercedes and renault...

Will see how far we can go..... Malaysia boleh.... haha....

09.09.09

It's 09.09.09.... How fast time flies? I still remember more than one year ago when i posted on the date 08.08.08... It was the opening ceremony for China's very first olympic then, an anticipated moment by the chinese...

Anyway, this kind of date happens every year.. And very soon it would be 10.10.10 next year... By that time, i will be in my final year in IMU... It was like only yesterday when i had my orientation and now i am half way through... :P

And yea... Happy birthday Ah Howe and Siew Ling... Hope you guys have a great birthday this year...
