Got some new items for myself!!! So happy!!!

Today I bought a new handphone... Nokia N80 Pearl Black... Yeah!!! One of my "dream phone"... I sold my V3i and Nokia 6280 and used the money to buy this phone... So in the end, I practically did not spend a single cent to get this N80 :) now still trying hard to adapt to my new phone... but still feel happy :)

On the past monday, I managed to grab the starbuy offer from Creative online store... I was the No. 2 customer to grab the deal of half price to get the latest Divi Cam 525D (dark blue)... Felt happy that I can finally own a digicam... However, the Crative online store only accpets VISA and I only have MasterCard... And my bro forgot his password for his CitiBank VISA card... Hence I went to ask Mr Leng (my boss at Unity) to help me settle the bill... The delivery for the cam arrived on Friday... Now I am still trying hard also to see how to take good pics with this Divi Cam...

Feeling sleepy now... Going to sleep liao... Will try to play around with the phone while trying to get to sleep... :)

After Pharmacy Ball and First Aid Course

We had our Pharmacy Ball (Graduation Dinner) at Amara Hotel on 15/07/06... The place and the food was ok... I was very happy to see most of my classmates again but in more "posh" clothes... There was a best dress competition held during the dinner... I was kanna saboed by my friends to be one of the contestants (I tink it is because of the hat that I am wearing)... In the end I did not win lah but its ok :)

I rented a car on that day... Hence I fetched Yixin, Tt and Tau to the dinner... I must apologise to Yixin again for the miscommunication on the place to meet... So paiseh to make you walk out for nothing :)

Then after the dinner, my gang decided to go somewhere to settle and talk... So I drove some of them to Mt Faber... Since I was driving, Shuifa dun allow me to drink :( but its ok... We stayed there until 2 plus then we left the place...

I had a First Aid course for this month (on Tue, Wed and Thu night from 7pm to 10pm)... But my class always ends early as my instructor dun "lor so" and will always highlight those impt points for the test only... He is very funny lo... The way he talks is funny... Then sometimes he also crack jokes and "leng xiao hua"... Another point that I still can't believe... He is only 22 years old (younger than all of us) and he is our instructor...

I just had my First Aid test on the past Wed... Me and Yixin partnered each other and we were the first to pass all the tests and went off earliest... Hahaha... So right now I am a qualified First Aider :)

Ok I shall stop now... Going off to work soon... Sianzz... work morning shift and have to go for internal training session at HQ later...

Finally graduated!!!

My commencement ceremony was held yesterday... Overall I felt very happy that my family could attend my graduation ceremony and I could also get to see all my uni friends graduating together... We took a lot of pics (but not with my camera sadly cos I dun hav one and the one I have been using belongs to my bro... guess I should invest on a digi cam liao once I got my second pay)

Me, shuifa, shuai, chew ping and cp's bf went to Marina to have lunch after the ceremony... Then we went around Marina and Esplanade to take pics with our graduation gowns on... Although it was quite tiring and hot, we enjoyed ourselves taking a lot of pics :)

Today I went shopping by myself to shop for the pharm ball clothes next sat... Went to Wisma, Taka then walk all the way to PS then took a bus to Suntec and shop there and Marina... I bot a jacket/blazer (which i not sure which it is supposed to be) and a belt from G2000 at Marina... Bot a pants and hat from Topman from Wisma... All these cost nearly 300 bucks (OMG!!!!) hmm... still deciding whether to buy a new shirt and tie or just wear the shirt which I bot in HK (cos I tried out the whole thing with the Espirit shirt I bot in HK and it looks nice) well I still got one more week... so maybe I shall just shop around some more to get more "ideas"

Working life...

I started to work as a pre-reg pharmacist in Unity on 07th June... Its almost coming to a month already... So far the place that I am working at (Toa Payoh HDB Hub Branch) is good... the staff there are very nice people, especially those PAs like Cecillia, Tam, Ivy, Kwee Gek (Tua Ji -- Big Sis in Hokkien), Mdm Tan and Christina, and also brand promoters like Ani (Natural Factors), promoter for Brand's and promoter for Kordel... Also not forgetting my 2 pharmacists, Mr Leng and Sz Ting, who are patiently teaching me all the things that I should know to prepare me for my future post as a full-fledge pharmacist...

I just got my first pay a few days ago... Was quite "disappointed" as the bring home pay did not even reach the 1k mark... as it was pro-rated as I started to work only on the 7th and it does not include the sales incentive for this month (which will be included in my next month pay i guess)...

For the past 4 days, I fell sick and took 2 days MC... had a high fever (doctor took my tempertature and it was 39 degrees)... felt so terrible during the 2 day rest at home... had to eat only porridge and soupy stuffs... and also had to take 5 types of medicines (1 for fever, 1 for inflammation cos of sore throat, 1 for cough, 1 for running nose, 1 antibiotic)... EEEEE... but was very touched that my colleagues at my pharmacy were very concerned about me... When I returned to work on Friday, everyone showed concern as to whether I recovered totally already or not... Thanks for all your concern... I appreciate it very much... :)

I just came back from the Pharmacy Congress at Furama Riverfront... Although the lectures were quite boring, the fact that I could see some of my friends made me feel happy... there will be some more lectures tomorrow so there will be some more catching up...
