Too Relaxed!

it's been a while. i know. hehehe. eventhough i'm a bit too free nowadays, i wasn't bothered to update my blog. guess it's time.

last weekend was Ratih and Haimi's wedding reception at Tropicana. yay! this time, no kerja buruh thank you. all done by Haimi's family and friends.. so the rombongan pengantin perempuan just came as guests and we just needed to look pretty. yes! =)

so far i'm enjoying myself staying at home! i love eating, sleeping and watching tv. a recipe to turn obese but what the heck.. i wont get to do this when i'm back in Manchester. i go out with my friends at times... maybe 2-3 times a week. other times, just enjoy goin out with my mum and siblings!

anyways, due to the raging hormones i'm having for the past 2 years (since late 2008)... i've been getting quite serious breakouts.. ok not up to the point where i get huge acne all over my face. but still to me, quite severe coz two years ago i had friggin flawless skin! so i finally decided to go to dermatologist 2 weeks ago and she gave me this medicine called Roaccutane. sis Ratih took it before and now acne GONE! i've been taking the medicine for 2 weeks and yes... quite happy with the results! and skin becomes less oily and redness reduce. haisshh.. see being fair skin is not all good, people! breakouts are so obvious on me! but on people with darker skin.. so lucky! not obvious at all!

okies rant over. damnn.. 7 weeks has passed since i came home. 7 more weeks to go. =(

The Wedding

i had been waiting for years for my eldest sister Ratih to get married to her long time bf (now husband), Haimi. i regard Haimi as my bro in law since a few years ago, but now it's official.

Alhamdulillah.

it all went well.

on 8th July, Haimi and Ratih officially tied the knot. the akad nikah ceremony was held at my house.. with over 200 guests mainly the extended family, neighbours and close friends. the day before, my aunts (mom's sisters) came over to help with the packing. wedding is a family affair. and i think Haimi already knew from the beginning that he's not only married to Ratih, but also to the Hj Abdul Malik's extended family. owh yes. hehehe.

the ceremony went OK. of course, papa, being himself, very cranky and agitated but i expected that anyway. thankfully, both pa and Haimi had to "lafaz" only once. phew. but papa was really nervous and voice was so shaky. first time had to give his daughter away.

after that, the photography session was the highlight. mcm nak masuk majalah URTV kot. haishhh... oohh... and thank you to my KTJ friends - Aina, Hayat, Ibrahim, Aidy and Asyraf for coming. =) sorry was too busy tho. huhu.

on 10th July was the wedding reception at Hilton PJ. i thought i wouldn't have the energy to lead the usherers. but i did. think it was the dress i wore. i loved it. thanks pa and ma. hehehe. anyways, everything went OK except some mangkuk hayun guests brought extra people when they RSVPed only 2 people are coming. ok people. if you were to do such thing when the reception is at home, that's fine. but please, when you go to hotel reception, that's a no-no. with limited number of seats in the ballroom and the host allocated the seating, please do not pandai2 move tables or bring extra people. kesian orang lain. mangkuk btul.

anyways, whatever it is, i have to thank my cousins, aunties and uncles for doing the kerja buruh - ushering the guests. lol. and my fav people - my Subang friends. thank you for coming!! and i miss you already. -Shera, Al, Batch, Nina, Maliq and Azzy.

Syam, Jaja and Pia should have been there!! =(

Raja Diyana is the luckiest. both akad nikah and reception pon datang. ehhehe. nasib baik you jiran i jugak. lol.

as tiring/hectic this wedding may seem, i love it coz it was a family affair. hmm. more like the keluarga Malik affair. seriously.

here's to the couple who can stand each other for the past 9 years.

i really have no idea how you two did it. and now you have the rest of your life to quarrel! hahahha. fyi, niece/nephew a.s.a.p pls. cheh. ingat nak buat anak ni mcm nak memasak ke ape. anyways, i wish both of you a happy married life.

photos will be uploaded later. =)

KPJ Selangor Specialist Hospital

believe it or not, it has been 2 weeks every since i started my internship at this hospital..

damn i have learned a lot!! and best of all, the pharmacy staff there are awesome!

ok maybe not all of them. but most of them.

i get along with most of them.

one or two. hmm.. not so. dunno. maybe no chemistry. but whatevs.

my priority is to learn.

and not forgetting the other KPJ students doing their practical there.

very very close to them and it seems that at times we're the noisy ones in the pharmacy. luckily the senior staff there are cool.

as i have said before, as a pharmacist i have to memorise the names of hundreds and hundreds of medicines and their functions etc. damnnn... some of the famous ones i have already known. but a lot more others still need to be learned.

the pharmacy in general is really busy especially during the peak period. soooooo many patients. and and some patients have like 10-15 different medicines. what are you? drug addict or something?? haiyooo... but anyways, the busier it gets, the more experience i gain. so no complaints. only yesterday a customer told us that she/he wanted only 1 month supply of 10 diff medicines when i had already carefully finished prepare the 3 month supply as written on the prescription. i quietly cursed under my breath.

today, my 3 favourite Bujang lapoks - Asyraf, Aidy and Ibrahim came to visit me at the hospital, hoping to kidnap me to bring me to karaoke. lol. sorry boys. paid or not paid, staff or not, i'm very much dedicated to my work there. so i talked to them for like 5 minutes. it was annoying already. not the boys.. BUT THEM!! we were talking outside the pharmacy quietly and the hospital staff who passed by us were looking at us in a weird way. mostly the female staff. seriously. what is wrong with you people? 3 good friends of mine came to visit me and talk to me in an appropriate manner i.e no touching, kissing or whatsoever and you have to give me that sting eye. eff u. i don't shag my friends, fyi. i couldn't stand so i had to ask the boys to go home and i sent an apologetic sms saying that some of the staff were giving me a bitch face.

i think Malays should learn to stop staring at people. if you wanna stare at someone, please don't tell your entire group of colleagues/friends to look at that person. if so, tell your friends to not make it so obvious. it is disgusting. my friends and i made up a term for that - rogol mata. really. and those who are old enough to be my father, please know your boundaries!!! is it me not used to this environment? then i wanna make sure when i work i choose a multiracial hospital/city. KL maybe.hmm. or stay in Manchester??

owh hello 3rd year MPHARM!!

finally!!!

results were out last night and i got 2nd upper class for my 2nd year!

Alhamdulillah.

ok. maybe not as impressive as getting first class. but making it to 3rd year is already enough for me. i mean given the fact that i was busy with many other things besides my studies and just 1 month to study before the exams, i think i did better than i expected.

so yessss!!! i was worried sick for the whole day. i knew that i was going to get the results yesterday so i kept on checking my uni email every hour to see if they sent any notifications regarding the results. lol. how anxious.

so now i can enjoy my summer with no worries. and yes raya in Malaysia again! yay! my flight back to UK will be on 18th September!

i never got the chance to ask my classmates about their results. don't want to be the kepo one asking around. hope everyone did well. if not, resit in August isn't so bad. really. i was already thinking what if i had to resit. hmm.. resit is a 2nd chance. not a death sentence. so best embrace it and make the best out of it.

i wonder what 3rd year would be like?

will it be better or worse than my 2nd year?

hmmmmmm....

As for current updates, nothing much. just normal routine - work, come home, eat, World cup, sleep. haven't been going out much. everyone's just busy with their own thing.

*LOVES*

Of Caffeine and World Cup

last night, i had like a rush of adrenaline or something like that... so i couldn't sleep til 3am. wtf. after watching italy's disappointing match. actually my bad. coz i took a 3-hour afternoon nap. so yeahhh.

then this morning i had to go to work at 8.15am. fml.
i was dying half way feeling really sleepy. thankfully, i didn't have to prepare medicines for patients today, instead we had a friggin induction.and it's like a whole day thing. so annoying.

thank God. they served coffee for breakfast. i even had teh tarik before i went to work. then for lunch, i had teh ais. ok. this was seriously an overdose of caffeine.

the result - i got a little bit more hyper than usual and couldn't sleep til now. i expected to doze off like right after i came back at 5pm. but nooooo... too much energy. need to channel it somewhere. so watched world cup. portugal vs north korea. portugal scored 7 goals and my baby Ronaldo did too so i jumped and danced around like a mad bitch everytime they scored. hehehe.

i know. i'm channelling my energy to this post. zzzzzzzzzzzzz...

____________________________________________________________________

anyways, on a different note, as much as i miss Manchester, i'm adapting to my life here. true i don't get to go out at night and without parents' consent. true i have to work and come back feeling tired most of the time. true i stay at home a lot more than i did when i was in Manchester. but hey.. i love it. really i do. and everything's compensated by going out for pigging out on the heavenly malaysian food. spending time with family and friends that you don't get to be with in UK is just priceless. so i'm not complaining. hehehe. and working. is just. awesome. so busy. it ain't like working in the clinic last time. working in clinic is like going on a holiday compared to working in hospital. but it's a good exposure. and damnnn there are loads of medicines. but there are a number of popular medicines there like Zithromax, Arcoxia, Celebrex, Diamicron, Clarinase. lol. the list goes on and on. but the only thing i dislike about SMC is the rule stating staff and practical students are not allowed to dye their hair. what is this? school? hell no am i gonna dye hair back to it's original colour!!

ok rant over. i can hear wedding bells!!! sis is getting married!! but feel as thought they've married for years. really.
now... i feel like wanna get married. hahahahah

*LOVES*

owh myyyy owh myyy

i'm homeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!!

so happy yet somehow feel something missing!

owh yes. my friends in Manchester.

i just realise how much i miss them.

when we said our goodbyes at Aunty Azimah's BBQ, i had to fight back those tears from coming out!!

owhh well. what to do.

you can't have everyone you love in one place. that's impossible.

anyways, i touched down on Sunday night.

so happy to see my mom, dad, sisters and cat! my bro is still in KTJ. hmm.

next day, my subang gang already called me out. i'm truly blessed to have such friends.

i don't know how some people can ditch their old friends when they have new ones.

old friends are the ones you grow up with. true that we may grow up differently and be at different places, but the memories with old friends are irreplaceable. =)

today was the first day of my internship.

thankfully, my colleagues are nice!! semua gile2.

tp ada laa 1 or 2 yg a bit senyap. maybe need sometime to warm up.

phewwwww... 8.30am to 5 pm is very tiring!!

and today is not considered as busy day. but i already felt tired!

lets just hope i'll last til 15th July!

wondering... when is my result coming out? i need to know a.s.a.p!!

can't even book my flight now!

Harder than expected

sometimes, you get attached to something. and it's hard to leave it.

and it makes you wonder what happens once you leave it.

for the past few days, i've been doing nothing other than packing and spending time with my friends.

i'm very much attached to my life here.

am i ready to leave this behind?

don't get me wrong, i'm really really excited to go back home and see my family and friends.

but leaving a life that you've built for the past 9 months ain't that easy.

i tell you what, when i'm back in Malaysia, my life changes 180 degrees.

no kidding.

no hectic-ness. no uni. no books. no public transport. no major responsibility. no partying.

for the 1st month, i'll be busy with internship. next two months after that, i'm goin holiday with family and hopefully with my subang gang. and of course, Maliq will be the one constantly bringing me out with our Subang gang. hehehe.

*dunno what happened to our Cherating trip?*

i'm looking forward to:

*my family

*my cat

*Ratih's wedding

*my subang gang

*my ktj gang

*holiday in Krabi

*basically just spend time with my loved ones =)

tell you what i'm gonna miss when i'm back in Malaysia :

*my gang Melayu Manchester

*the Cina gang

*my committee

*MSSM events

*late night dinners and movies

*shisha session

*come home after midnight hahahaha

nahh.. i don't miss the parties. i've gone past that stage. i feel old now and i rather have a chilled night out rather than dancing all night. once in a while is fine but you just get tired of it somehow.

YES. i feel sad to leave.

well, you gotta lose something to gain something right?

last night is tonight.

tomorrow morning, goin to Aunty Azimah's farewell.

will board the plane at night.

i'm missing everyone already. =(
