I'm sorry for being away, but I promise, I'll be right back!
Now I'm having my class test, so I can't put up any posts yet.
Wait for me alright! (:
Lots of love,
me.
Anyway before all that, I want to write my thoughts on the course I'm taking right now. Yes, Pharmacy, a course which is collaborated with University of Strathclyde, Glasgow.
(for those of you who are not sure, the course I'm taking is Master of Pharmacy, to be precise. differences between the Bachelor degree and this Master degree is..the origin of the certificate. Master of Pharmacy is from UK. Bachelor is from anywhere else, besides America, Canada and a few other places. places like Canada will award Doctor of Pharmacy for graduates. any Master of Pharmacy at undergraduate level is from UK. plus don't get fooled by the award title, it's just the same as ANY Bachelor's degree. not to say that Pharmacy do not have any postgraduate courses. there is.)
Warning: TEXT POST, no pictures. It might bore you to death.
It's definitely not easy, that is what I've to say if anyone ask me how's the course. It's really difficult, for a person like me because I'm not the type who would sit down and study 24/7. I'm a playful
So if you can sit down and study, then, taking courses like Pharmacy is cool. There's too many things to study in a semester (4 months, max). An overview of modules I've taken till now.
- Bioscience 1 & 2
Biological sciences. A general module though, just like Biology. Biological Sciences, Biology, NO DIFFERENCE. Plus, I'm not a Biology person, so what can I do? LOL. I cannot memorize. Besides, I'm not ashamed to tell the whole world I failed Biology at pre-university level because, I REALLY AM NOT A MEMORIZING PERSON! I know, bad results, how to meet the world, etc. Thank God AUSMAT takes top 4 subjects into account. - Foundation Chemistry
Another general module, just like general Chemistry. A lot of understanding too. I don't attend classes so, it's a problem. If I'm not mistaken, we learnt Analytical, Structure and Bonding, Organic, Inorganic, Physical. The 5 chapters in Foundation Chemistry. My favorite one is Analytical and Physical because they are very closely related to Mathematics. - Basic Mathematics for Pharmacists
Hey! Guess what!? I didn't attend ANY classes for this module because the lecturer talks to himself so I didn't want to attend as I won't have any mood to be in his class. Sorry Dr Stefen. But it's alright. It's what I've learnt in Form 4, Form 5 and a little from pre-university. And there's a lot I didn't understand as well. Differentiation, integration, algebra, functions? Normal stuff. Just the only extra one is to differentiate and integrate trigo. - Biopharmacy 1
I thought it'll be closely related to Biology because of the word bio but I was wrong. It's a module full of ORGANIC CHEMISTRY. It's all about carbon, carbon and more carbon. Not very easy, and not very tough either. But the practicals in Biopharmacy is the best, compared to Foundation Chemistry and Bioscience. It's also partially because I don't need to write a full report for this module. They have prepared the report forms for us! It's really awesome. All you need to do is just write down your experiment results and do some calculations. Speaking of lazy kids like me. - Physiology 1 & 2
This module is DEFINITELY not easy. A lot of memorizing too. Worst than Bioscience but I hope I can pass this because my upcoming test is 100%, consist of 1 essay. Yes, 1 essay, worth 100%. Physiology is something like..neurons, endocrine, cardiovascular system, central nervous system, cells, etc. Something like that. Hmm. It's more on humans though. Like hello! Pharmacy, right!? - Statistics for Pharmacists
I don't know why this module existed =/ Never attended after I went for a class. - Foundation Pharmacy
Lol, another module I'm blur about. It's more ethical than other modules as this module 'teach' you how to be a 'perfect' pharmacist. Study the ethics a pharmacist should have, etc. I've an assignment to do for this module. A report on migraine. The causes, effects, prevention, cure, etc. 3000 words o.O or was it more? Sigh, I'm too blur. - English for Academic Writing
ANOTHER USELESS MODULE! I don't know why they want us to take this module for. It's to 'help' us. My goodness. The uni I'm in wants IELTS and MUET so fine, I take them and they now force us to take this module. Well.. Sigh. Oh yes have I added that my uni will only accept Band 7.0 for IELTS and Band 4 for MUET? UK universities only require Band 6.5 but my uni wants us to get Band 7.0 for some reason. Sigh. And MUET too =/ I thought twinning programmes won't need this? Plus I'm in a private university, NOT local university. Well. Regulations! - Bahasa Malaysia
USELESS MODULE. They said the MQA requires us to study this, Moral Education and Malaysian Studies at diploma level. I don't know if they want our money or what, but it's a must. I studied them last year in Sunway already ):
(WOOHOO! 2nd year student yo!)
Don't ever think that Pharmacy is 90% Chemistry and 10% Biology or they have a little Biology and a lot of Chemistry. Sigh. I heard that it is that way but from what I'm studying now, it doesn't seem so.
If you want to
Not only that, other things you would like to consider is the recognition of the degree. I've always wanted to study in University of Sydney from some weird reason but I couldn't go there because I didn't reach the requirement. Let's say I'm not smart enough. The offers I got from Australia was Bachelor of Pharmaceutical Sciences, from University of Canberra and RMIT.
Not forgetting the cost too. If I were to study in Sydney, I'll need a rough amount of RM600k, because their fees increase every year, and let's say if you pay AUD35k per annum for the first year, you might have to pay AUD36~k for the 2nd year. It's not like UK, where if you pay £17k, you'll pay £17k per annum till you graduate. Now, I'm taking 2.5 + 1, and I need a rough amount of RM190~k for the whole course. And if I were to take 2 + 2, I will need RM260k~. Well, further information, if you need, you can ask me, or you can go and do your own research why, and what are the differences.
There's a lot to know about this, and what I have about this course is 3 years worth of collection. It may not be the best, but I don't mind sharing with ANYONE of you who would want to take up Pharmacy as your undergraduate course.
You know what's stupid? I planned to go to Australia all the while since Form 4 and look, I'm now taking a twinning programme to UK. *sweat*
btw people, the latest information I got about Pharmacy is last year, so it might have changes, as their regulations may change and all.
If you were to ask why I chose Pharmacy..
I've been thinking of becoming a pharmacist since high school because any courses I talk/suggest to my dad/family will always get a rejection. The courses I suggested were mass comm, hotel management, criminology, etc.
It was either medicine, dentistry or pharmacy. So here I am, in Pharmacy. I don't know if it's the best for me or what.
Oh yes, I went for 2 interviews. I went to both Monash and IMU for their MBBS entrance interview. I got through for both, but the only thing that stopped me from entering is my results. Sigh. It's not a heart wrenching thing though. I wonder why. Monash is definitely not easy to enter, because they require ISAT, an interview and results. IMU is easier as they require an interview and results. Oh yes, not forgetting both require IELTS.
If you ask me how many courses I've considered, I'd say plenty.
Before this, Pharmaceutical Sciences was in my choice just in case I couldn't get into Pharmacy. Just so you know, Pharmaceutical Sciences is another pathway into Pharmacy if you can't get into Pharmacy. It's a 3 years course. So if you want to be a pharmacist in profession, take up a postgraduate course in Pharmacy and there you go - a pharmacist. Additional 2 years after graduating, so 5 years altogether.
Sadly I could get into MPharm =/
If I couldn't, I would have gone to either Canberra or RMIT. (maybe not) (I'm just crapping. my dad wouldn't allow anyway. it's too pricey to study abroad)
(Oh yes not forgetting Psychology too! I dropped Psychology as a choice after I took Psychology as a subject in MCKL last year for A Levels. It's too boring for me. All you need to do is read, understand and read. I CANNOT!)
Initially (before I got into this course) I thought Pharmacy won't be that tough. And I am here suffering now because I play a lot. I am not willing to sit still and study. That's all. If I have perseverance, then I could have sit still and STUDY like a nerd. But I can't. Sigh.
What a disappointment to my dad.
For now, I see it as a torture, but maybe 10 years down the road, I won't regret, and will be glad for studying Pharmacy.
P/S: For those who read this post, I'm so sorry for this long winded post. If you don't want this kind of post again, please comment below, or dislike this post, then I'll know and I won't bore you to death again.
SORRY PEEPS!
<3
I like lah! I just discovered this in The Store last Tuesday anyway. I never knew Oreo got new stuff since forever. They even have blueberry and chocolate flavour.
I got confused between the normal one and the one I'm going to share now. It took me 5 minutes to realize that this is "DoubleStuf" it means double the cream in between the crackers. Sorry, I know I'm a lil dumb. Not a lil, very dumb but I of course got excited when I saw this.
 |
| DoubleStuf Oreo! |
 |
| Look at the cream! Omgee, damn thick, damn a lot. (crap, I should have compared it with the normal one) |
The normal one will do.
BUT!
This will be awesome for the vanilla cream lovers! (or what cream is it? I shall assume its vanilla then)
I thought I will like it a lot because it's DoubleStuff, aka A LOT OF CREAM! I think I would love this if I was younger.
Sigh, too late isn't it?
I got really attracted to the bow when I first saw it with diamonds. Yes diamonds. I never liked diamonds until I saw this bow pendant.
 |
| Look at the sexy diamonds. How can you NOT like it? It's true that diamonds are a girl's best friend. (not really, just saying for the fun of it but the diamonds on the pendant is really attractive. at least to me) |
But I didn't get the diamond one because it costs around RM7k. RM7k for a necklace is too much.
I think it's expensive because of the name too. Well, it's Tiffany and Co. alright? Not everyone would like it but I like it (:
Anyway! Back to topic, instead, I got this:
 |
| Silver bow pendant (: no expensive diamonds. |
Safety purposes yo. You also know that the world is not a safe place anymore.
It looks pretty too, however. I like any bow pendant. It's attractive!
Okay I better stick to the topic.
So yes, I went to The Offline Blogshop in Times Square last weekend and I got this:
 |
| Crap, the silver color of this bow earrings can't be seen. Anyway, the color is similar (: And the design is also similar to the Tiffany and Co. bow pendant. Right, right!? |
 |
| &it's only RM8. From NekoMimi. |
Before I bought it, I thought it'll be around RM20+? Because most of the accessories in the Offline Blogshop can be quite pricey and that's why I never buy things from there.
RM8 is overpriced for a pair of studs but since I wanted it to be paired with my necklace, I bought it. Ah, talking about being a brat.
Anyway, RM8 is still less than RM10 right?
Remember I said I wanted to get the contact lenses from FreshKon?
I didn't buy them in the end?
Yes I didn't, but my parents did! :D
Yeay! I don't know why but they got them for me anyway because it was 8 pairs for RM300. My dad finally think its worth it. I think it's approximately the same, 3 pairs = RM110, 9 pairs = RM330. Or wait, is it not?? I think the optical shop (Alpine Optics, Sg Wang) is earning money well so.. no comments on that.
Anyway, the first pair I opened today is Sparklers - Shimmering Grey.
 |
| FreshKon Colors Fusion. It's the name of the series, obviously. |
 |
| It's expiring in 2015 and today is 2011 =/ Yes, my power is quite high. Btw, I am supposed to use toric lenses but as long as your astigmatism power doesn't exceed more than -0.50 for each eye, then it should be fine. |
 |
| I wore it this morning, and I forgot to take picture of this in the packaging. Damn. Anyway! I don't think you can really see the color, but can you see the whitish thingy in the circle? Yep, it's quite light but when you put the lenses into your eyes.. |
 |
| It's not that obvious. |
Talking about being stubborn and not afraid of getting blind. (but I am now since I got infection from wearing contact lenses last March)
Anyway, yes, FreshKon is currently my favorite brand for contact lenses and you will definitely not regret for buying FreshKon. Some FreshKon colors are really pretty. (till then people!)
Oh yeah, FreshKon lasts for 1 month, unlike Blincon which can last for up to 3 months and GeoLens, 1 year.
P/S; I've got other 7 pairs but I'll put them up 1 by 1 once I open them for future use.
Finally, I got the liquid eye liner pen I wanted.
Not really. I should have gotten the other one. Same brand, but the other one is darker, and it can produce 2 lines - thicker, and thinner, up to you.
Anyway, yes!
 |
| KissMe. a brand from Japan (: |
 |
| This is the best I could take, and if you can't read it directly from the picture, here it is: heroine make - smooth liquid eyeliner. I wonder why must they put the wordings in gold. Hm. |
 |
| I tried to focus at the tip so many times but failed. It's blur, but I think you can see this. It's fine and sharp. You will have only 1 choice - thin line. The other one can make thick or thin line, up to you. |
 |
| On me hand! |
 |
| Let's just say, I suck at putting eye liner, so this is the best I can show and yes I have freckles and I've eye bags. In case you're wondering, I didn't put make up on (: I used my camera, which has dual screen and it has beauty shot. *hinthint* |
Gel eye liner is okay too. I like it because it stays, and it doesn't smudge etc.
Oh yeah! This eye liner is water proof, and it doesn't smudge too (:
Worth the money. I paid RM30~ for this eye liner. I think the price before discount is around RM48. I am not so sure. I got this when they had 10% discount off normal price plus since I got Watsons membership card, they took RM8 off the price I had to pay. So to be more precise, around RM36.
Pricey, but I think it's worth it.
Yeah I know this is way too late but well, not yet a month. Almost a month but not yet ;p
Anyway! I received an email from Nuffnang 1 day and I was shocked because I received..
