Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha

it felt as though Aidilfitri was just yesterday. 

so today, we Muslims celebrated Aidiladha.

Aidiladha is usually quiet for my family and I. yes. the tradition goes on with waking up in the morning and dressed in our traditional clothing, the Aidiladha prayer and of course traditional Eid food such as rendang.

nevertheless, Alhamdulillah, this year, I get to celebrate Aildiladha with my family, after 5 years being in the UK.

Just a few updates about me:

• turned 23
• successfully passed my driving test on first attempt
• I am still unemployed
• MOH said that I will get my PRP posting in November
• I attended another job interview with Sime Darby Medical Centre, SJ yesterday.
• Just discovered that the PRP training in both gov and private hospitals is standardised according to Lembaga Farmasi Malaysia. Private hospitals are trying to implement clinical pharmacy, but due to the  typical environment in these hospitals, this will be a very slow change.
• Now I am torn between working with the government or private. And also whether I should continue to apply to other private hospitals, just to have as many options as possible?
• I'm very anxious about this government hospital posting because there is a possibility that I'll be posted to other states. Any state is fine with me, except Kelantan and Terengganu. And if I do get either of those two states, I will definitely opt to work for private hospital.
• Apart from job dilemma, I am enjoying being a lazy bum at home. well kind of. but i do get restless.
• I practise driving around Shah Alam everyday. recently managed to drive from SJ to Shah Alam. hopefully by December, I will get to drive to other places like Bangsar and KL. Well lets just hope big boss allows me to do so.

So that's all from me. Hope everyone is doing great. 

Selamat Hari Raya Aidiladha. Maaf zahir batin. 

End of Summer Break! Let's go back to Uni... NOT!

Raya month is over.

September has passed and now is October.

Summer break was over 2 weeks ago. some of my friends had already left for UK, and yet some remained here, like me. well looks like I won't be going back to UK for uni NO MORE.

I don't know whether to be relieved or sad. both, maybe? Relieved coz I completed my Pharmacy degree and graduated and I don't need to attend lectures in the morning and come home late in the afternoon. Sad though, coz I love uni life regardless of the piling of assignments and attending lectures. My social life was at its peak when in uni. late night supper and shisha. staying up late just to hang out with friends. playing cards or just plain gossip sessions. occasionally house parties and big parties at clubs. it was never boring. not forgetting, netball training during the weekends and trashing other teams at Malaysian games. owhhh how i miss! see it was never boring for me. 4 years it was. and now,all i can do is just keep in touch with everyone through whatsapp and bbm. and of course, reminiscing the good old days.

As sad as it may seem, it is time to grow up.

I am looking forward to working life. it may not be as great as uni life, but regardless, it is something to look forward to. 

Like everyone else who just came back from the UK, I am still waiting to get my hospital posting. I called MoH and the person in charge said that I will know by end of this month. Fingers crossed. I have already received the offer letter from SPA. so now, it's all about waiting.

Meanwhile, I have been googling on PRP posting. Been reading blogs by seniors on how working as a hospital pharmacist is like, the rotations etc. Interesting indeed, hence why I keep on moaning about not starting work yet.

You see, staying at home all the time is not rewarding. it is impossible to go out almost everyday like I used to. I feel so unproductive. the only productive thing i've been doing so far is learning how to drive. yes, i am turning 23 and i haven't got my driving license. My only excuse is that I had been away from home since I finished SPM and although I had 3 months of summer break every year, I chose to enjoy my summer to the fullest and also by working part time.So summer breaks were not as unproductive as you might think. I wish I could work part time now, but my license is my priority sooooo... tough luck.

Life is beautiful. Don't waste it on constant negativity.
