… I was at New Orleans, USA!!!
Yea, right. As if. That was taken at Trafford Centre, Manchester. Oh yup. I was there last Sunday. And I had my dinner at Tai Hu (((((((:
I wasn't blogging because I don't have internet in my room. Actually, the whole house hasn't gotten the broadband, merely stealing line from somewhere else, which can only be done from a certain spot in the house.
Life now is kinda a roller coaster.
Wait a minute. Roller coaster is exciting and fun and well, exciting. Life now is so far from those. How can I say life now is like a roller coaster? Hmmmpppfff Everyday is work, work, work. Six days a week somemore. But I'm not in a position to complain because there is someone out there who works more days than I do. So, be happy, be smiley, be sunny (((((: It keeps raining these days. It has just started to rain now, again.
I have so much to tell, so much to say, so much to rant!
Work, work and work. Actually it's not just work. It's my interview as well ))))))): Not that I'm proud with my performance so far, as I have not been driving by my own and just a passenger. Passenger at the back seat some more, if you get what I mean. But my job review is over today and my tutor has turned from a nice lady to a strict headmaster in a blink of an eye for that review. Now is all just up to the HR to decide.
I have learnt a very important phrase these two days. The phrase is "I'm attached" or something along that line. Yesterday, there's this guy who drove by me along the main road when I was walking home. Well, he wasn't exactly drive by. He was on the opposite land from where I was. I saw him signaling, so I thought he was turning into the junction, which lead into the road to my house. He stopped and I crossed the road to the side of the road that I wanted to get to, which was also the side of the road that he was stopping. Then he suddenly put down his window and tell me I'm pretty -.-||||||| I didn't want to pay attention to him, but he followed me with his car!!!!! EeeeeeiiikkkkkKKKKKKKKSSSS! But when I mentioned I have a boyfriend, he said goodbye. LMAO! Then today, there's another guy who walk up to me and started talking. When he asked whether I'm attached and I said yes, and my boyfriend is waiting at home, he said goodbye not long after. HAHAHA. I'm not lying. My boyfriend is at home. Home= Malaysia, Malaysia =Home.
I don't even look my best when they happened, for LAUGHING OUT LOUD. I was just getting back from work, tired and extremely hungry. My that sort of look attracts meh? Probably because I walk with my head down, so they think I'm an easy target. Things to learn from the story: ALWAYS walk confidently. Also, if that guy is in a car, walk the opposite direction of traffic. If the guy walks, stick to the main road, and the main road only till the magic phrase find its chance to pop out. Well, that is if they respect the meaning of the phrase.
Work, work and work. Sigh. Back to work. I couldn't say it's all work and no fun. I learnt something everyday. Seeing how a little pharmacy operates, dealing with customers, discovering that the store actually stock what the customers wanted after an apologetic smile that accompany "We don't stock them". How am I supposed to know what changes have been made to the shop floor as things get changed every day?! Well, myself to blame also as I kept myself in the dispensary way too often for my own good. But I really should stop getting myself to get all the dispensary work done. I should be focusing on my own training instead, which is…. be more clinical in every single way, which is what this career is about. I am trained to be the expert in medicine. I go through this four-year course is to help people make the most out of their medicine. I am not trained to be a dispenser. REMEMBER THAT.
When listening to how people who are on the same placement programme are doing, sometimes I can't stop wondering how different my training would be if I'm under another tutor. My tutor now is really good. She guides me a lot. Just the problem now is myself not pushing myself hard enough, not grasping the opportunities to expend myself beyond my comfort zone. I have all the resources that I could possibly have. I really should think about what I really want to do so I would not waste the privilege of being a student who have all the back-ups behind me to let me go further, something which I would not have when I truly qualify. Well, not to say that the company does not provide opportunity for development, but it would be of a different kind than those I have now. This stage of being in the transition has its own magic. I really should hold it tight. 3 more weeks. I should work out something different before it ends.
On the other hand, I should stop spending my money on make-ups. I don't even use them that often to having to "keep stock". The problem with me when I'm spending is I always get one too many of the same thing. Like that day in Manchester, I bought one mascara which is off two colours, one purple and one turquoise from Vie, then when dropped into Bodyshop I bought their clear mascara. Ok, they are off different colours and off different functions, they are still mascara and I already have two black ones, one from Maybelline and one from L'oreal sitting at home. It's like.. Hello, how often do I wear make-up? Ok, maybe for the clear one I have a reason to get it, as it good when there's a need tidy up a bit, without the heaviness of the black one. Plus, it won't smudge no matter what's the weather HAHA. But, for the coloured ones? When and for what occasion would I need to wear purple or green eyelashes?! Then I also bought 4 tubes of lip glosses from Bodyshop. FOUR! FOUR, people. I already have trouble finishing two tubes that I already have, one from Maybelline and another from BabyPink, and now I bought myself another four. Madness. Absolutely madness. The reason I bought them it's because they come in a set of four which is in a tin, and they are reduced. by. a. lot. 14pounds to 3.50pounds. That's like 75% off! Add on the Love Your Body loyalty card, that's a really huge reduction. They are last Christmas gift set, that's why they are reduced. But who cares they are last year's gift set or not, really. It's still the same thing.
Ok, Vie. They are part of Virgin. I didn't know Virgin is into cosmetics as well. Ha.Ha. Is there any sector that this mega huge media company can keep their hands off? Vie have a wide range of cosmetics and bath things. Other than the mascara which I regretted I bought because I have one too many, their shower gel/ scrub are lovely. I bought one with which is called Bali and another one called Hawaii. Bali has this gingerly smell, and Hawaii has this flowery smell. I have only used Bali. Hawaii is still sitting in my room instead of the shower. I can't describe how good they are yet, but one thing for sure is they are of good value (((((: Who love reduced items, hands up, please. The reduction was from 8.75pounds to 2pounds. That's like more than 75% off!! And their lip brush is reduced from 6pounds to 1.80pounds!!! Weeeeheeehe~ But wait a minute, I do not need a lip brush!!!! I bought it anyway -.-||| Hate it hate it hate it when I spend money on things that I do not need. But but but it's on reduced.
See, I always have this angel and demon thing whenever I shop.
My damage for that day in Manchester:
Not that much, but it's still money -.-|||
The little pots are bodybutter samples ((((: I saw them on the counter and told the girl I would like one of each. Hehe. So I have strawberry, wild cherry, olive, coconut and hemp bodybutter, and one small pot of mango shower gel ((((((:
And I've also bought another 1Gb memory card for my Olympus. It's on reduced. 4.75pounds (((((((((((((: ok la.. I know now memory cards come in 2Gb and higher. 1Gb is so out already. But I don't mind swapping memory cards when one of them is full.
This post is going to end now.
One last thing.. the new house is still dirty Ha.HA. I couldn't bring myself to buy anything from Ikea when the house, or rather my own room is in this state. Sigh. I shall go to demand for my single size bed from the house agent now. Double bed feel so empty.
Ta~ Let see what damages I'll do to my purse next time.
