New Year New Sem New Look New Me

Hello everybody Gong Xi Gong Xi! Its the 6th day of Chinese New Year, sincerely wish all of you a properous, healthy and wonderful year of the OX and be as strong as an OX in the years to come! This cny is really special to me, as you know I'm away from my home sweet home, not reunion with my family for the first time, it wasnt actually as bad as I expected, somehow I felt quite satisfied and warm-in-the-heart with the reunion steamboat held in my little room (imagine having to occupy 17 guests simultaneously), the reunion night has brought friends together and seemed everyone has had fun having to eat the long-miss-super-delicious tomyam soup (of course not forgetting the yummy chicken soup!) and the interesting gift-exchange games have brought the night to its climax, are you happy with what you've gotten in the end? I hope you do hehehe

And yea, just when we're still partially recovering from the exhaustion of having a dreaded one month's study break and two weeks of examination, the new semester has started right after that with NO BREAK IN BETWEEN! cny in the uk has become a negligible celebration, its so pathetic...the world of ANGMO but this land is actually resident by quite a number of chinese, yea dont believe? start counting the number of chinese that you'll bump into when you walk on any street, its a high frequency you'll be shocked with that. but too bad you cant find china town in Nottingham >_<. Oh yea went to try Terracotta on Tues, I have to say that the food is so so only, its more like a ready made dishes rather than freshly made, I have that feeling that they used uncle ben's sauce (quoted from NZ) to cook the dishes, LOL. I think this would be my first and last time for the restaurant. OKAY lets turn the sadness of not reunion-ing with family into energy, just want to say that no matter what the God is trying to test me, no matter what's happening next, I'm well ready to face any challenges, PUT THE OX COME 放牛过来 please!

What's new in this semester is that, we have a professional skills module which require us to wear formal outfit during the dispensing session, where we are suited as if we are a real pharmacist and get trained to be a competent pharmacist with the knowledge of laws and ethics that we're supposed to know in the near future while you're consulting the patients. I personally like this part of the course very much as I love memorising the medicines, their indications, side effects, drug-drug interactions and etc. I feel kind excited when I get to recall things about the drugs, I hope this is a normal reaction that you should spot from a pharmacy student, ahha. That's right, I'm at least having one new look in this brand new semester, not to mention the same routine jackets and coats that have been filled up most of my autumn and summer's fashion style, I now proudly announce that I'm opening up my arms to give a welcome hug to spring! My excitement towards this module has led me into spending my precious pounds in stocking up some new clothes, how amazing this is! Cant believe that I'm willing to spend on formal wear just because of this module! guess what, I've bought something that I really like from H&M and I think they are going to be practically useful in the future when I'm a pharmacist, my beloved new top and new serious-looking skirt! They are now accommodating in a special V.I.P space in my little wardrobe awaiting me to unveil their beautifulness, lol please bear with me for the broken language, I'm stil learning! Do give me some more time please, hmm...just realised that it has only been 3 years of time where I've been exposing myself in the english-speaking-environment. Well, I take alot of people around me as my learning model, they are all good english-speakers! especially PekSan who is so kind enough to correct my sentence each time I made any mistake, thank you my dear friend!

Speaking about Friend, I find that this semester seems to have started with some friendship issues which is sad to know that. I know sometimes its hard to juggle between yourself and your friends, most of the individual put themself more important than anyone else, this is how an ordinary human being should behave. But, when you see individual around you who can actually put friends on priority, you'll think that is it your problem that you've not done better in being a good friend? is it wrong if they care about you more than you care for them? is it not right that they've been treating you so nicely and you didnt do the same in return? This remains as a question in my heart because I don't know how people feel about me when I'm socialising with them, I don't know how important am I in their list when I actually take them as my close friends, I don't know how to measure the quantity and quality of friendship, I don't know how much should I give so that they think that i precious our friendship very much, I just don't know how...to express myself so that they can understand my feelings. I think one thing is right about friendship is that, eventhou two friends who don't always keep in touch with each other, but if they happened to meet up one day, there will stil be endless of stories to share with each other. I appreciate every single friendship that I've built up all these years (to be honest, the experience of transfering schools for three times in my lifetime have greatly influenced the way i perceive FRIENDSHIP, unintentionally it has widen my social network eventhou I was at first a quiet little young daughter of the bakery family and it transformed me to whom you think I am now) and I swear to myself that I'll try my very best to work it out every friendship and make them even better than before...do you have faith in me? Would you tell me how you think about me?

The begin of this semester, also meaning that we have to make decision on the accommodation next academic year, this is kinda troublesome when I come to think about it. Its not a hard decision actually, its just a matter of how you are making it so that it ends up with a happy ending with regards to the feeling of each parties. Probably you will say I'm worrying too much, you should just go with what you want, hmm...if its that easy, there wont be war in this world, LOL. Let me put it this way, if you really want something but you can only get it with the aid from your friend, isnt this abit selfish because you are only considering your own's benefits regardless of your friend's thought. What if your friend is kind enough to help you but actually in her heart she doesnt really like it this way, this would be unfair for her right?! For my friend's sake, I am willing to make a decision which everyone is happy with it, a decision where i stick to my usual independent me, be the usual lonesome but fortunate me, be the siusien that she's always been before she entered university which has totally changed her into another person...YES she will know how to make the decision the lastest by next week!

Happy Chinese New Year to everyone I love!
Happy New Semester my dear friends!
Spring is just around the corner so let us cherish the time we have in the UK!
