All in a row

Recently, too many things crumpled together, too many work to be done, too many thoughts to be blurted out but yet too lil time haih. Got time also better sleep liao, physically and mentally drained. Truth be told, yes, I'm in stress and tired liao. More than 1-kay to be collected, that's a treasurer's task in hand. She's scattered assignments to be compiled into one, that's a dai-gar-jie's punya responsibility. Haha, actually not dai gar jie la, just responsible in gathering everything which has been delayed to ages by snail me. Whole sem de notes to be digested, that's a student and daughter's promise. These, are what entail me next week.

This week, no difference in work load. Heart-squeezing role play presentation for communication skills is completed, kelam-kabut dosage form practical already carried out, and dosage theory test already undergone. And also, we got our chemistry quiz 1's marks le. Although mine is nothing to be proud of but I'm relieved enough to cross the line. But once again, relieve is far from satisfy. I know, more effort need to be poured in. Once again, I need to strengthen my will, like what leong once quoted, 'ur strength is equals to that of ur will'. Easy to speak verbally, doing it is another thing o.O

Speaking of dosage form, another disappointment..It's one of our core subjects this sem where we are being taught the proper hands-on techniques to compound medicines in lab. Our prescription for this midterm test was to prepare a cream and a suspension. Real ganjiong. Everything is done at high speed,
------- fast scanning through the prescription given
------- flip through BPC kasarly (our dictionary-like reference for all medicinal and non-medicinal ingredients) whereby u'll hear loud paper flipping sound and start pondering whether ur once precious BPC will be torn by ur roughness
------- lift head a while and eyes swiftly scan through the surrounding cos tiba-tiba attention driven away by a clean and sharp 'plink-plank' sound cos someone (dunno who cos no time to find out le) break his/her glassware on floor
------- continue forcing urself to think.think.think although whole mind gone haywire and u feel like just switching on the main power supply to burn everything in mind into flames
------- then, hurringly scribble all the jumbled-up procedures that pop in mind, at the same time doubting whether u wrote the correct ones
------- now, start all the messy grabbing of bottles, scooping of powders and oily paste from the narrow mouthed bottles, weighing, mixing, stirring, cooking, initiating a flame at the bunsen burner by shooting its mouth with a gun (i dunno what's that called, fire starter?)

Just at this moment of urgency, clumsy me spilled water into my boiling oily mixture which is needed for my cream preparation. But realising that i'm running short of time, dun care dy, continue to mix the powder, add more water and kacau it over the water bath. Then to realise weird oily droplets floating on my cream solution. Sedih betul. Then peep at coursemate's cream who sits directly opposite to me, his is a uniformly mixed solution wanting to turn cream liao. With the postgraduate keeping a watchful and weird looking eyes on my cream, there i go...pouring my cream into the sink as if it were an unwanted bowl of leftover soup.

What to do, start all over again, then to realise the same product eventhough i switch my sequence of mixing all ingredients. And the consequence? I tak jadi to prepare my 2nd product of suspension T_T Dahlah slow now pulak do wrongly. But luckily i still get to form my cream at the end. Yuan lai as long as u wait a bit longer, stir.stir.stir non-stop, an evenly mixed cream will be form de. Really aiyo ar, what I lack is patience! Urgggghh!

I shall boikot all creamy products for a week! hahaha, say ny la, I still love ice-cream <3 (as long as tian mai tarik us go eat mcD's sundae too often like first sem =P)

p/s: Dosage form is just like Harry Potter's potion class. It's fun de and satisfying too when u berjaya to produce the drug formulations that u're asked to.

Tiny promise made in heart: I must finish producing both prescriptions for dosage form in finals! Herggg! hahaha, we shall see.
