a place far far away...

ish...the day is approaching...the day of leaving n loads of crying...leaving my best place in the world-home!!! arrgghg....i hope that i have a magic to pause the time, or just slow down the speed of the time...oh no...i cant i cant...pls stop dreaming...no matter what, i know i have to face the truth one day. im excited but quite worry of what is going to happen in this coming new life...new environment...meeting new ppl...the more i think, the more acnes popping out from my little moon face (this explains what happened to my use-to-be-fair-n-smooth face lately..lol). alrite, the solution is, i've been trying lots of different brands of facial cleaser, from haneko to st.ives to garnier to gerneve to clearasil...to i doono-wat-coming-soon....but the outcome seems disappointing. GOD...pls return me my suisui face...lol

okay, lots of ppl don know about why am i going uk so early, same questions i was asked when i told them that im going to uk on the 22nd of july. so here, the answer is "I'm going for summer placement in a pharmacy!" I was so lucky enough to be offered a job in the Co-operative pharmacy in Nottingham for 4 weeks, yes...4 weeks only! but its better than nothing la rite, at least i can get some experience while earning pounds..wuhaha!! What i wanna emphasize is the location of the placement, it is at Selston, Nottingham road. Alrite...maybe you will think its pretty near since its located in the nottingham, BUT...haha...you are absolutely wrong...after few million times of research on the internet and kacau-ing the seniors...the diagram below summarise how shall i get from my accommodation in Dunkirk, nottingham to my workplace in Selston. Pls have a better look before feeling shock...

the dotted purple line shows the direct route, also the quickest n shortest journey found from Dunkirk, Nottingham to Selston Pharmacy,137 NottinghamRoad,Selston,Nottingham,NG166BT.

it looks just a short distance from the map, BUT...see the truth below, the real transportation route which will take me about 1 hour 15 minutes to get to my destination by doing WALK-BUS-WALK-BUS-WALK activities every morning and evening for total of 4 weeks...except weekends la of cos. i personally recommend everyone to use this website http://www.transportdirect.info/Web2/JourneyPlanning/ when you are feeling lost in the uk as it gives detail information of your journey and it LOOKS reliable...looks only...haa.so yea...

so you know whats the negative side of getting a summer placement, for those who cudnt get, at least u will feel glad after realising that you don need to spend your time and energy looking for accommodation and finding out cheapest and most efficient way to get to your pharmacy...for me, i feel better after knowing that Susan (seniors) travelled to her placement for 45 minutes, at least mine only half an hour more than hers, not very over rite, lol. ohyea, jus for you information, i just found out that the pharmacy that im going is not actually Co-operative pharmacy by its name, but its P William pharmacy, which i suppose/suspect is the sub-company of Co-op's company...haihz...profitable world, as u know Co-op is really a big company which does not only open bussiness on just pharmacy but funeral, foods, insurance, bank....etc...as well...Shock no.2?!! lol...don be surprised...

well...a place far far away, UK is so far away from Malaysia/Australia >_<
also...a place far far away, Selston is so far away from Dunkirk
im finding my way to explore the new challenges awaiting me...im coming no matter how far you are!!!
