Grasping for Air

on Saturday, October 25, 2008

Tired, hot and bored by the fact "I have no choice but to study".
Please, please don't hit 37 degree Celsius today. (It 's 34 now)
If it does, does it mean that my body temperature and the environment are homogenized? Haha...
I think my body's ADH is doing a good job in water retention or I will be dehydrated.
Believe or not, I have an assignment dues on next Thursday but I haven't write anything yet.

Human

on Thursday, October 23, 2008

If ever I am presented with a question, there will be three possible responses:
Yes, no or I'm not sure.

Yes: Means I want something, or rather my view is more towards the particular direction

No: Means I prefer not to

I'm not sure/ Anything possible: It's a nicer way to say "whatever". It's either I have no comment on that matter or I don't care to comment. Get it?

The idea of being not assertive is someone who changes his/ her mind in split seconds. In short, it is being represented by the Chinese phrase "人云亦云".

Sometimes I just don't understand why humans see others' weaknesses but not theirs. I'm not hinting that I'm perfect anyway, I do have weaknesses. From time to time, I encounter situations where A is speaking ill about B but A himself has the same problem. Also, there are times when you meet people who will never accept their weaknesses. Orally they may say "Oh really? Ok ok, I will pay more attention to that in the future" but in their heart they are filtering out what you just said thinking "Ah, she is just too demanding" and repeats the same mistake again. On the other hand, there are also people who talk without processing what they say in their brains. *Reflective reaction perhaps*

The moral of the story: When you are pointing at someone, please remember that there are four other fingers pointing back at you. (I have four fingers pointing back at me now, *hit*)

Up!

on Wednesday, October 22, 2008

Nice nice day, my mood has changed, if you noticed that. =D

Previously, there were a number of emo posts and I was so tired with life, with people and with studies. But at least now, I found motivation to pursue life, hopefully, with much enthusiasm. Most probably, it is due to the fact that I finally managed to solve a problem deep in my heart.

I know I have been keeping quiet for many occasions, and really, it's time to turn over a new leaf. I have always been a quiet person, yet I turned into a even more quiet person, which was unbelievably scary. I know that I need a change.

Come on, cheers!

A Few Weeks Back

on Sunday, October 19, 2008

I learned dispensing! (In fact I learned it a few weeks ago =P)

The first time I dispensed Paracetamol Tablets 500mg to "Mr Tom Riddle" while the second time I dispensed Amoxycillin Syrup 250mg/ 5ml to "Miss Hermione Granger" and Hydrocort Cream 1%, 50g to "Ms Ginevra Weasely". Printing the labels was fun but unfortunately I don't have the pictures with me right now.

At the same time, I was being exposed to pharmacy terms such as p.r.n. which means "when required". I'm so eager to get hold of a copy of APF (whichever edition it is).

Actually, I have always been tensed attending Pharmaceutics classes. The lecturers are stern and they are always strict. I guess the only motivation that drives me forward is dispensing. =D But in fact, dispensing is not as easy as I thought. For instance, you need to check the dosage with reference to the age and weight of the patient; even direction can be hard sometimes when preciseness is important.

The weather is becoming hot, so hot that I feel reluctant to walk under the skin-burning sun. I want to visit Botanic Garden!! There would definitely be plenty of beautiful flowers and plants!

Let time flow back to the mid sem break:

I couldn't remember every bit of my mid sem break but the most significant event that I joined was Rushi Children camp, as a helper. The camp was held at a scout camping site at Rymill Centre, Woodhouse. Woodhouse is quite a big place, originally built for scouts but it is available for rent. The surrounding was EXTREMELY peaceful and serene and no doubt, I love the place! Generally, the helpers are divided into groups including activity, art and craft, dharma and cooking.
And yes, I'm in dharma! It was a great experience to be in dharma. =D The names of the groups for children were based on 四摄法, while there were some teachings on 十善业。It was great to see a group of young people interested in Buddhism and Chinese! And I feel ashamed for not mastering Chinese well.

I should start writing in English more frequently for I can sense that my writing skills are deteriorating with pauses here and there, searching for suitable words in my mind.

Exams in approximately one month's time. Obviously I should start working now...*
