cleaning my colon


Let me introduce to you guys what i've been taking for the past 4 days, Metamucil, orange flavor.
The taste wasn't that bad, thinking bout it, it ain't too bad at all. For those who do not know what Metamucil is, it's a fiber drink that helps with your bowel movements and also helps reduce cholesterol.
Anyways, thanks to the advertisement on tv and the great sales they had on Metamucil, i decided to give it a try. It's classified under AUST R (medicines assessed for safety, quality and effectiveness), so i guess it won't do harm trying.
=D trying to be as healthy as possible, need to be a healthy pharmacist, so my future patients would have faith in me.

I'll probably try a detoxing program one day when i've got the chance.

ooo btw Metamucil really works, makes me go to the toilet more. Feeling a lot cleaner and healthier already ^^

getting too old to try everything

Been too busy setting up a bright future that i've forgotten to do what i wish to do as a youth. Time flies by just like that, don't look back or you'll miss everything.
I wish i had tried everything i wanted when i was younger, like taking music lessons, or did some crazy shits, now that i've grown 'old' and too busy for everything, it really makes me wish i could turn back time and get my hands into everything i could get into.
For a few months now, i've been wanting to get a violin and sort of self teach myself by referring to the free lessons online, but every time i enter a music shop hoping to get a violin, the very first thing that strikes me is, do i even have time to touch the violin?
But then again, if i don't start now, when would i have the chance? Right?
Reading didus's blog about her electric guitar makes me itch around to go get myself an electric guitar too!! ^^ (D@mn u diduds!! jk jk)
Went to the music store yesterday and they had this great starter pack deal, electric guitar + amp + gig bag + guitar stand = $400 (RM1200)
not too bad of a deal right?
Should i get it or not??

Had a formative exam on Wednesday, well not really a real exam but sort of a peer assessed
exam to give us a taste/feel of how the exams would be.
It smacked me hard, it's a sign that i should really start pumping knowledge into my very empty brain. It creeps the arse off me every time i think about exams, 30% of last year's 2nd yr students failed their oral exam! Freaking 30%!!!!
I do not want to fail T.T
I have not failed before and i do not wish to start now! (tests doesn't counts, major exams only)
Failing is not an option ><
Oh well i guess i should really start studying now =p

And also i've been thinking of you guys so much lately ='|
missing each and everyone of you!!

Love hugs and kisses

defeated by my own thoughts

Being sick for so long, is getting my parents worried.
My family have been in a way pretty 'superstitious'.
So yesterday they went to the temple to ask for a 'remedy' to help me get better.
I choose to be a pharmacist, and by trying the 'remedy', how should i feel/think.
And what if the 'remedy' does work?
It defeats me inside to actually see the point for me to continue studying pharmacy.


Troubled by all the issues revolving around me,
my strength to stay standing has a limit.
If i were to fall and be defeated (in that area), mustering the strength back would be an effort that might as well not exist.
I might as well dip myself into some other field, with a fresh start.

tsk tsk

It's been about 3 weeks since i've been having this 'cough', yes 'cough' as even the GP isn't sure what i'm having.
No mucus, no temperature, no infection, no asthma, no allergies, nothing except for dry cough that acts up at night and in the early morning. And also i've been wheezing a lot, and also been taking 'unsatisfied' breaths, expiration and inspiration .
Went to see the doctor twice, the second time she prescribed antibiotics and if i do not get any better by Thursday (which is today), she told me to go to the radiologist to get a chest x-ray.
So today after uni, i head straight to the radiology center, taking a chest x-ray took a few minutes.. but to get the x-ray and results, i had to wait for more than an hour! I sort of got a little too tired and started 'fishing', the receptionist realized and she asked if i was ok =p
After more than an hour wait, i finally got the x-rays and results, but it was sealed and only to be open by my GP >< it was pretty disappointing not being able to look at my beloved lungs.
Again, i would need to go make an appointment tomorrow for Tuesday with my GP.

week5 heading to week 6

Week5 of university was jammed with everything to prepare us fellow students into becoming a good pharmacist.
First few days, we learned about common colds and flues, including allergies. Wasn't an easy topic as it required us to really know what signs and symptoms that a disease/sickness have and what's the difference between everything. To add onto that, we had to know what drug to prescribe and the dosage too, not to forget that we had to figure out if it would cause an adverse effect if the patient is pregnant/breastfeeding/taking any other drug/have any other medical history/allergies/etc.
After cold, flues and allergies, we head on to rheumatoid. One extremely long topic. The lecture helped us understand more about the disease, how it happen, where it happen, and the differences of different rheumatoid. Interesting topic i have to say, but also a very challenging topic.
Had 2 labs this week, one on solubility and the other on competitive antagonist. Wasn't too bad, had fun on the competitive antagonist lab as the end of the lab marks the starting of the weekend! =D
Today i slept like a pig.. Slept around 4am till 9.30am, woke up to cook myself a nice warm meal, then watched Robots on the com while eating my breakfast. After finishing my meal, and half of the movie, sat on my bed while reading the therapeutic
guidelines on Respiratory. And all of a sudden, i head back to dreamland till around 1pm. I love my lazy lifestyle =) hehehe
Week6 is around the corner T.T i wished that the weekends could last longer
