The earphones of my iPod was stuffed in my ear. But the song that was playing wasn't ringing into my ear. I was deep in thought with my life of how and what it will be in the future. As just recently, my life has transformed quite marvelously. From getting employed as a part-time student pharmacist to securing a job in a pharmacy after I graduate to be a trainee pharmacist. I felt blessed and grateful. My mind then wonders to about Bean and I. How our future will be like? When can I start waking up every morning next to him? Or steam Barramundi fish for him for dinner?
Then the tram arrives at the stop. With my mind concentrating my thoughts, I saw people walking towards the tram. I myself walked towards the tram. The tram was sardine packed... but it is okay. I could just squeeze myself into the tram. I am known for being small. I don't take up a lot of space! There I was walking up the stairs of the tram trying to push myself into the tram. I could barely make it. My toes were right at the edge of the stairs. If I ever exhale my breath, I would be popped out of the tram!
Just when the tram started to move, my mind SNAPPED back to my senses!
Oh SHITTTTTT!!!
I was in a freaking wrong tram!!!
It was too late. The tram turned to the direction opposite from the other tram that I was supposed to be on! Arrgh...
I nearly burst into laughter for my stupidity! After all the effort of squeezing into the tram to realize that it wasn't the right tram at all! I ended up stopping at the next stop. Crossing over to the opposite direction to tram back to the original stop and wait for the RIGHT tram again!
For that, I spent another 10 minutes tramming up and down.
My tram ticket was freaking worthwhile!

Part Time Job
The reason why I was having an anxiety attack in the last entry was because I was trying to call my future boss which is now my CURRENT boss! =D
Yes... I finally got a part time job! *wink*
Anyway, my boss did not pick my call but I spoke to my pharmacist-in charge and he agreed to take me in! I will be starting work the week after next!
Another great thing was my application for working visa just got approved in time. I was freaking out that my working visa will not be approved in time with my start date of work. Everyday I come home from work placement, the first thing I did was to log on to the internet to check on the progress! I had a huge relief when I saw the word 'approved'.
I can't wait to start on my first day of job! But anyhow, I will miss the people that I am working with now at my placement!

Community Pharmacy
I thought I wasn't going to update my blog today but since I am still waiting for my boyfriend to finish work, I shall use the extra time to do an update.
I have finally started on my second placement at a community pharmacy three days ago. There are pretty much exciting things going around. The amount of trade names I have to get used to. Not forgetting the generic brands which confuse my brain all the time. Trying to remember which brand is cheaper than the other.
For the past three days I have been dispensing one scripts after another. At the starting of learning how to use the computer system, I was pretty clumsy putting through the scripts. Making minor mistakes here and there. There was once I charged the patient for only one box of medicines instead of two! Fortunately, my preceptor was okay with it! I am still getting the hang of it but each time I successfully put through a script, I feel a glow! The satisfaction I get is enormously great!
Oh... stocking up medicines and picking them from the shelves were so darn hard! I had no idea where the medicines were! The only thing I knew were the medicines were placed alphabetically order! Each time I looked for the medicine, I would always say that this is such a great way to train my eyesight! I hope tomorrow when I am picking the medicines, I would know exactly where the medicines are! * fingers crossed*
My preceptor has been so generous in letting me try out everything! Just today, I had a chance to pack a dosett box! In lectures I learnt that one of the reason dosett box is useful for old people is because old people have trouble pushing tablets out of the foil. Boy... now I totally understand that reason! I was pushing out more than hundred pills from the foils!! I never knew such great energy is needed for this kind of job! Probably my muscle thumb is so toned up right now!
Dosett Box that I have packed!
Hmm... gotta stop here now!
Boyfriend called! =D

The Twisted Phone Call
*house phone rang*
Me: (Looks at clock) Ehhhhh... why so early call already one???
*picks up the phone*
Me: (excitedly) Baby!! Why call me so early one???
My expectation of his answer:
'Ohh.. I was thinking you need to wake up early to work tomorrow. That is why I end work early to talk to you on the phone!'
Damn sweet right? Sadly that wasn't what I heard.
His answer:
'Oh... Cause I am attending a surprise party. That's why I left work early...'
Sighh... there are always other reasons to leave work early. But never the reason has anything with me! Ish!!!
Baby, you're right! I am COMPLAINING! =P

ATM Card
Yes... finally a good thing happened to me today!!!
My ATM card arrived today! Stupid ATM cards in Australia has expiry date! I didn't even know it expired until my housemate tried to pay for the groceries using hers! We were so embarrassed because we had to take out some of the stuff as we were lack of cash! 'Err... can we don't want this', I asked the cashier. OMG!! Thank god the cashier did not roll her eyes at us!
Excuse me while I withdraw some money!

Sleep Deprivation
Sleep deprivation has been an issue for me since I came back to Melbourne. I am living in Malaysia time. Sleeping at times when people are waking up to start their day. Waking at times when people are soundly asleep at night.
No doubt, yawning has been my biggest trend in lectures.
*kills self*
****
Bean sent me a message telling me how happy he was because he had thought of something to trick me.
Trick me what? I don't know. But isn't he cute? Sigh... I miss him.
Anyway, I hope I am alert enough to catch his little act of sly.
