Quick update

Havent been blogging for about 2 weeks. Too caught up in studies and my Final Year Project. A quick update for tonight. Hopefully less tired tomorrow and can blog :)



That Saturday after the nauseated week, the pharmies girls came to have a Chocolate Fondue party! yeah! (^_^)v The 404 girls bought a lot of fruits...



pineapples, professionally cut by KY... and baked by master chef, WX...




Strawberries and kiwis! professionally cut by pretty housewife, Khim and master chef WX again :D




Marie biscuits proudly sponsored by me and bananas, professionally peeled from the comb by me! :D and somebody's hand...


There were also apples...


The main character was chocolate! sponsored by the 404 girls I think...




Some of the happy pharmies with their choc covered fruits... Love this pic the most... Me love strawberries, me love bananas and me love pineapple!


All of the pharmies who came... still like to pose with my "Lan Kwai Fong" road sign even after a year.. HeHe.. rather useful souvenir eh?




Master chef, WX's creative work on Marie biscuits.. cute and nice! :D Packed for those who couldn't come...


Sunday was spent watching drama and studying for Natural Products lab test on Monday. The test was rather disastrous as my TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography not Tender, Loving, Care) plate was not showing the desired results... zzz... But it's over. No point crying over spilt milk..


Mom and dad came back on Tuesday morning. The next few days were spent studying for Pharmacy Practice's one-to-one medication counselling. Topic was on Paediatrics. Was quite disastrous again cause we had to teach the "mother of the patient" how to use 2 types of inhalers for asthma plus counsel her on the use of this antibiotic suspension which comes in granule form. I did not know about it, thinking it was in suspension form. Was practically staring at the reference book, trying very hard to spot any instructions on mixing the granules to make into suspension. Finally, the tutor gave up and changed to another question. -_-"


Oh yea, the whole week was spent preparing for FYP Final Presentation due on Saturday morning. So torturous. Nothing can top FYP as the MOST torturous thing to happen in my university life (well, maybe besides having to cope with cancer and doing FYP at the same time)... Not only presentation was due, FYP poster was also due... So, work work work and non-stop work on FYP. Hate it!


Finally on Saturday, 11.20am, I presented. Presentation was kinda messy cause I forgot my script and I forgot to refer to the script I was holding on. Got scared by the 3 examiners there I guess.. and not being able to answer some chemistry questions... zzzz... But it's over! So relieved that I came back to watch 2 episodes of HK dramas and slept! :D Sunday was blissfully spent watching dramas.. I wished!


By the way, I am watching this HK drama called "Death Investigation Extension (D.I.E)"... rather funny show about this police who has special power to connect with the dead. Not a horror show (I do not like watching horror shows and scaring myself)... Finished 12 episodes and am still waiting for episode 13 to be uploaded... Faster than TVB channel on HK TV now... Wahaha...



Sunday morning, KY, CM, HY and I met Laiyi at Sunshine Plaza to print our FYP posters! While waiting for the poster to be printed, we ate at Victor's Kitchen which serves dim sum. This place is recommended by some blogs. The boss, Victor is a Hong Konger and used to work as dim sum chef in HK till he decided to come to Singapore to sell affordable Singapore-styled dim sum. The dim sum were generally good but some had been modified to suit the local taste bud which is not my taste bud...Zzz.. 5 of us shared one glutinous rice in lotus leaf, one bowl of Wala wala porridge (not the pub in Holland V), 2 baskets of siew mai, 2 baskets of har gao, 1 plate of their famous fried shrimp in some wrapping, 1 basket of char siew bao, 1 basket of chicken feet aka known as phoenix claws, 1 plate of shrimp cheong fun, 1 plate of char siew cheong fun and 1 plate of char leung or yiu tiao chang fen as it is known in Sg.For dessert, we shared 1 bowl of their famous "Pomelo Mango dessert", shared cause we were really stuffed towards the end... 3 of us had chinese tea while 2 has chrysanthemum tea. Why? Cause they don't serve tea in the traditional chinese teapot kind where the whole table gets a pot of tea. Instead, chinese tea were served in mugs! Zzz.... The glutinous rice in lotus leaf is good! S$3. big and affordable. I thought the siew mai were rather nice. The chicken feet was Ok too, tastewise. Out of the 3 plates of cheong fun, I think the shrimp was the nicest. My biggest disappointment was the char leung as I was highly anticipating it after trying my first char leung while in HK. The one I had in HK was super nice!(in the pic above) The one in Victor's Kitchen was zzzz... The yiu tiao was too crunchy and more oil and air than flour... The cheong fun wrapping it was a little too thick for my liking. Thus, the combination was weird... The char siew bao was also not as expected. The char siew was too red for my liking and rather sweet. I like them black and fragrant. The dessert was really GOOD though...a little expensive for such a small bowl S$4 but according to the worker, it's made of ALL NATURAL ingredients which might explain the higher price. But it is good! Could have ordered more had we not been totally stuffed at the end. Didn't get to try the carrot cake though. Hmmm..

Overall, it was a rather OK dining experience. But if you want to go on Sunday, please be early. We were too early. Victor's Kitchen opens from Tuesday to Sunday from 10.30am onwards (can't remember the closing time but it's not too early de) @ ground floor of Sunshine Plaza on Bencoolen Street. When we were eating, the queue was SUPER LONG despite the 2 shoplots extension for more customers to sit. Anyway, we spotted a famous wanton noodle shop nearby too.

Collected our posters after the meal and went home to study for Dosage Form Design III Lab diagnostic test...

Had my CT scan and blood test done on Monday morning before rushing back to NUS to take the lab test. Followed by free tea break to celebrate end of lab sessions and pre-final examinations. Zzzz.. the food was rather nice though! Happy! :)

(More on the hospital reporting in the next post..)


Pictures of my Mickey Mouse organiser which I took a while ago. Had been extremely useful in keeping me with my school deadlines + hospital appointments... Love classic Mickey :)


Got a card from Pei Yong. One of my favourite bears -Forever Friends... fat and cute! :) Thank you!
This pic was drawn by my ever-talented roommate and labmate and coursemate and same surname-mate, CM! And painted by my ever lovely 404 housemates! by using Photoshop :)
Such a colourful and lovely pic! and fairy-tale like. The idea for this picture was started by bored CM and I during the journal club session in school, one afternoon. I drew the rainbow, clouds and sun.. and mountains, while CM modified the rest. HeHe..
And the girls got this pic printed out as an A2 poster for me! Now I can paste it on my wall :)

Ok. The end of my LONG "quick update" -_-"
Too overdue that's why it's so long. Next, updates on my health conditions...

Chemo Cycle 5 Day 2
Time to rest..Zzz
