Miss Unemployed

First and foremost, Happy Ramadhan to my dear Muslim friends! 

it's been awhile since I last updated my blog. 

I guess a lot has happened over the past 3 months.

So the latest news is that I am back for good in Malaysia! 

Secondly, I am officially holding a degree in Masters of Pharmacy (MPharm). So my next step will be following my sis' footsteps to do PhD. err... hold your horses. not yet.

well the real plan is to start working in Malaysia. I have to do a one year pre-registration a.k.a provisionally registered pharmacist (PRP) in order for me to be a full-fledged licensed drug dealer.

yes.. drug dealer. no don't get me wrong. I am your licensed drug dealer. so it's legal. I will be pushing legal drugs to the civilians. owh yes, in order to improve your health and quality of life. but please don't ask me for hash, marijuana, ecstasy etc coz i'll just tell you to get out off my face. lol.

Anyways, after 5 1/2 years being in the UK, it was time for me to say goodbye. Surprisingly, I didn't cry. I didn't know why. Probably due to the acceptance to leave UK and come back home, perhaps? Though, I will miss my life in UK. Late night shisha sessions, supper in Rusholme, stay up til sunrise with friends. heck. I won't be having that in Malaysia.

But I guess, I need to start a new life in Malaysia. I have applied for the PRP with government hospitals. Just hope that I'll get the hospital that I wanted. Apart from that, I'm officially unemployed. or should I say employable. 

so here's to the start of a new life. Goodbye Manchester.

AH-MAY-ZINGGGGGGGGGGGGG

HELLOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

IT'S 20TH APRIL. 

AND I SHALL MARK THIS DATE AS THE DATE I SUBMITTED MY FINAL YEAR PROJECT.

Alhamdulillah. it has been a great journey so far. my final year project was on increasing the solubility of Ketoprofen using surfactant micelles. errr. you can google on this if you have no idea what I'm talking about. lol.

I could have done a better job. i could have started earlier on the write-up. 

but I am pleased to have this over and done with.

So, at this point, I have no regrets.

I wish for the best. 

I still have 4 exams to go. but i seriously need a short break. just get out of  Manchester for a bit. Manchester is the place to be. no doubt about it. but you get so wrapped up in this little bubble and you just feel like you want to get out of it. sometimes, it's suffocating.

so I decided to go on a short break next weekend, Budapest. it will only be for 3 days. Manchester weather hasn't been really nice. it's 8 degrees everyday. friggin winter season when it's suppose to be lovely spring.

so that'll be next weekend. 

after exams, it'll be HELLOOOOOOOO UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

yes, i have booked my flight, and hoping that my visa will be done in time. it was unexpected coz my dad just randomly said to me on the phone, 'owh go do ur US visa. u can visit ur sis this summer'. errr. owhkay. random. 

but yes, trip is planned. and the highlight of the trip will be... when I drink Butterbeer (hopefully it's non-alcoholic) in Harry Potter World. yes.. MALIQ and SUDU and NINA and every HARRY POTTER FAN. 

can u feel the excitement? lol.

so that's my latest news. it's 2.30pm. time for a short nap. waiting for Nadia Anwar Tan's arrival in Manchester.

Library, the new home

just recently, i found peace in this place called library. been going there for two days, and I think i should go there everyday til i finish my exams.

i'm almost done with my project report. thank God.

now just need to start the editing and wait for my supervisor to give feedback on my discussion. Alhamdulillah. so far so good.

seems to make a lot of sense now. started revision a week ago. it's time to go hardcore.

did i tell you that i'm going to Budapest on 28th April? just for three days though. no sweat.

sometimes you're just so sick of the place you live in and you just need a different scenery to clear your head?

even worse, the weather in Manchester is not helping. it is super cold. i mean friggin winter in April! last week was 25 degrees max, and today was 5 degrees? gotta be kidding me.

Redhead and I love it

owh well this is nothing new.

my hair colour hasn't been natural since January 2008.

since then, I dye my hair like every 3-4 months.

and it has always been the same colour. copper blonde-ish.

so i went to Boots to get my hair colour coz my natural roots were showing so I got this Garnier hair colour.. and the colour is Intense Copper. meant to look like my normal copper blonde colour. but after i dyed my hair, turned out to be red. like red red ok. no tinge blondeness.

But I kinda like it. it gives me that little bold edgy look. and i think it's about time to get a haircut.

anyways, this would probably be one of the last times for me to go crazy with my hair. once i start working, gotta ditch that whatever red or blonde hair and start looking professional.

owh eff. welcome to the real world.

Move over Winter, Spring is here!

When you have tons of work and you don't feel like doing it, this is what you do.

PROCRASTINATE.

how time flies. I'm more than halfway through my final year.

Alhamdulillah. The January exam results came out a month ago.

A bit disappointing, but hey, what's done is done. I'm still grateful that I managed to pass them all. And still maintaining a 2 1.

What happened to getting first class?

Not doable, sorry to disappoint you people.

I have embraced the fact that my mental capacity is somewhat limited when I'm in uni.

Regardless, there are so many other things that I can be grateful for.

Netball season has come to an end. We managed a 2nd place in Manchester Games, and a 4th place in Warwick Games. I have to say, this year's netball teams in UK were really competitive. no kidding. but heck, it was fun. i am ever so honoured to be part of a team whom I can call my family.

anyways, should i even mention about the fact that my friends and i missed our flight to Turkey? owh eff. lol. whatever. long story, but of course we learned from it. Spent a few days in London instead, and it was pure bliss. BIG THANKS TO HAZIQAH ALIAH MUZTAZA =)

Anyways! Spring is here! weather was amazing for the past few days, until today it was gloomy again. but yeh warm weather = legs and boobs out, people!

More updates soon on:

EXAM TIMETABLE

gonna miss student life.

I'm Doing Just Fine

First week of my final semester was great so far.

Timetable was so chilled.

Only have 4 subjects this semester.

First week - no labs, no hospital. so I was a bit TOO free.

I've started swimming. I realised that my metabolic rate is not as high as it used to be, so if I keep on consuming the amount of food like I have always done, next thing you know, you can't even recognise me. So swimming + netball every week can keep me fit. I don't plan on losing weight, but let's try to maintain that 61kg, ok?

I also went to two concerts this week. James Morrison and Boyz II Men. My friends and I planned to go to James Morrison's like a few months ago. But Boyz II Men. now, that was last minute. Well, I didn't know they were coming until I went to Chicken Cottage and saw their poster. and i was like WTF. i have to go. But who to go with me at such a last minute? so i checked if there were tickets online, and tickets were still selling! so i texted a few friends, and eventually Syaz and Kaizan agreed to accompany me. phew. i can't go to Boyz II Men's concert alone. like duh.

I have to admit, as much as I love James Morrison's performance, but sorry to say nothing beats the legendary Boyz II Men. I grew up listening to them and I have more than 10 of their songs in my iTunes. aaaaaaaaaaaahhh starstruck pls. Plus they were giving out roses when they sang "I'll Make Love to You". as corny as that sounds, i managed to catch one. and yes, being the very kiasu, for both concerts, my friends and i got to stand like 2 rows from the stage. LUCKY MUCH? eheh.

things seem to be falling into place. I hope this is not the end of it. I just found out that I passed my Law Related to Pharmacy exam. well passing sounds easy to you people. blergh. but here's the thing, I went ape-shit with that exam coz there were so many shit to remember. 120 true/false questions. each correct answer = +1. wrong answer = -1. and the passing mark is 60%. so yes. i went a bit mental with that. but Alhamdulillah. all's good.

so I heard my remaining exam results will be out in 2 weeks time. hopefully, I did well enough.

Amin.

When the fun part starts...

It's like the greatest feeling ever. i swear.

I know I still have one more semester to go, but it feels good knowing that you are that much closer to finishing. it's like a race. eventhough a slow one, but you are trying your best to get to the finish line.

London was definitely a post-exam treat. like proper treat.

FOOD AND SHOPPING AND FRIENDS.

and yes, money.. gone like running water. but was worth every penny.

Now. I really miss those in London. argh. wish can have all of you here in Manchester.

Anyways, class has started, and so has netball training. First netball training was yesterday and we did a bit of fitness training for our stamina. 15 mins. that was the longest we could go. i guess exam fats really have a great effect on us. though, when we started playing, we were not as bad as we thought we would be. applause.

2nd semester timetable is not as pack as the 1st sem's. the more time for us to do our project write up i hope. i really hope to do well this semester.

ANYWAYS, THIS IS THE LATEST PIC OF MY NIECE, HAILIE DEANDRA.

now 8 1/2 months old.

don't ask me why her hair isn't growing much.

her parents refuse to shave her head.

i miss her.
