NiNi Celupar Day & Beyond~

In the month of August 2010, two rather important events were up for me. One was NiNi Global's birthday, which was on the 16th of August, and it coincided with the other event - the first day of class of my semester. Well, maybe the latter wasn't that much of a pleasant thing to most of us but it was important nonetheless. Since 16th August 2010 fell on a Monday, we celebrated Global's birthday on the Saturday before it.

Auntie Yang, Beyoncheq Earth, & Mercedes World~

We had a hell of a time figuring which place to dine in for her day, but we ended up in Smoky Jack's at Upper Penang Road. Auntie Yang came up with the "Beyoncheq Telephone" theme based on a Taiwanese parody of Lady Gaga's Telephone where the Beyoncé looks very much like Earth. Girls were to wear skirt or dress that night. The evening at Smoky Jack's was pleasant and the food we had there were good.

After that, the plan was to head over to Church Street Cafe to have the famous Snow Beer. However, we were there too early as the mugs weren't chilled enough. We had to wait for about 3 more hours if we wanted to have it, so we changed plan. We went to some sort of a cafe called Jemputree. There, we just lingered till it was time to head back.

Monday came and it was time to start another sub-journey in AIMST again. Funny it seemed that I felt excited to attend this semester. Maybe it was because I was actually in my final year now or was it because there was Clinical Pharmacy this semester, I couldn't tell. I really felt great even before I started class. At present, I'm still enjoying it though many things changed when the semester commenced. Friends become enemies, enemies become friends, alliances, politics, dramas, desperations, confessions, wounds healing, scars forming, etc etc.

We had to take six subjects this semester. Drug Modeling was not of my elective choice, I would have gone for Veterinary Pharmacy but somehow, though included as an elective paper, Veterinary Pharmacy was not offered. Geriatric Pharmacy was the other so-called elective paper. Forensic Pharmacy was included to introduce us to the laws of pharmacy and drugs in Malaysia. To my dismay, there was a business paper on Pharmacy Management & Entrepreneurship. My weakest field, even worse than physical exercise. I'm so gonna pester my cousin regarding this since he's a business admin expert.

Clinical Pharmacy seemed the most interesting for me among all, yes, even over Pharmacology. Somehow, Pharmacology was kinda dull for me as it kicked off with the topics on "Bioassay of Drugs" and the topics were taken by one of my least favourite lecturer. However, this lecturer was not the bane of our class. There was a new lecturer who actually looked down on our noses. He commented that private university students were hopeless. He wondered how we could survive until the final year without a habit of studying EVERYDAY. He even stated that he was going to leave soon because it was a disgrace to him and it would only ruin his reputation lecturing at a private university, teaching private university students.

So tell me, what is the use of a clever person with a brilliant mind who's done PhD and excelled academically if his/her attitude is in a way terrible and horrible? However, people love him because he's brilliant. Respect is what he got from all despite his sarcastic nature. Maybe he ought to use his brilliant mind to think about his own attitude. There was a Pharmacy Quiz coming up and he was to guide and prepare our students for the quiz. He scorned even the group of our best dean-listers stating that with students of our university's quality, we should consider NOT to participate. Well, in the end, our university won the first place. To sir, with love, au revoir~
