Merry Christmas!

Here I am, updating my blog on Christmas night. Well, just a few minutes more and it's not Christmas anymore. Again, it's been a while since I updated. There's quite a lot of things happening in the last 2 months plus since my birthday. Had my viva in mid Oct. I didn't call up the chief preceptor to check my marks but I guess it should be ok. We'll have one more before the end of pre-reg... and that's in early February. The training programme will officially end mid March and I'm looking forward to that.

Currently, I'm no longer in Gleneagles Guardian. I'm into my last rotation in Toa Payoh T190. It's a patient care centre, so there's more emphasis on patient counselling as well as patient follow-ups. So far the say is quite pleasant. Most of the people there are nice and I especially like the second pharmacist there. He's middle aged and very blur sometimes. Nevertheless, working with him is great as it is always stress free. However, all in all, I still like my attachment to Taka best haha...

For the past 2 months, I've been asking a girl out for meals and movies. Not exactly my first time going out with a girl but it still feels special. Actually, I kept in touch with her ever since I started emailling her in Feb 2004. I was trying to get to know her more then. She strikes me as someone homely and sweet. As it turned out to be, she seems quite family-oriented, which is what I'm looking for haha. It wasn't until 1 1/2 years later before I asked her out... So far we've gone out 3 times for movies and meals. I managed to know her more after each outing and she seems nice although sometimes I find her not responsive...and that can be pretty discouraging at times. Well, it's still early in the relationship and we'll see how it goes...

I went out with a former university classmate today for dinner and a drink. Well, I've never really seen him feeling sad before...other than the times when his marks are not up to his expectations. Today, I really can see his sadness. It appears that he has been liking a girl for a fairly long time, but due to some obstacles, he couldn't persue her. An email from her the day before made him realise that perhaps he should not have waited too long. As much as I wanted to say here, I think it's not right to reveal too much as he might just come up and whack me later haha. Just that... yup... unrequited love is painful. It's worse when the girl doesn't know that you like her. Worse still, when you bump into the girl right after that... Heard he confessed to that girl already, which I think is the right thing to do. At least the girl knows and won't be a dum dum after the whole episode haha...

Next weekend I'll have a 4 day weekend. Yeah, you heard that right. Can't wait till then. So this means that next week, I'll only work for 3 days. What a way to end the year! Most of my close friends are away now....one back in Ipoh, one back in Muar, the other one going back to Segamat soon. Let's hope that by the countdown to the New Year, at least one would be back...

I can't go back to Penang until CNY...which is about a month away. I'll be going back for a week. Hopefully they will approve my leave because there seems to be an out-of-place project presentation on 2 Feb. How ridiculous to have that right after CNY?? Sometimes, I think those people doing the arrangements are doing that on purpose... so that you cannot go back and must work during the festive season. Grrrr...

Ah, to 'drugged' who added a comment earlier. Sorry for not replying to the comment because I didn't realise there was one haha.... Merry Christmas to everyone! And a Happy New Year too if I don't update my blog by then.

Till then, sayonara!
