The best trip ever, Australia!

May peace be upon you~

Ok, arini da msk 3rd week for this sem as final yr student.. Seriously, rase sgt tua bile borak2 ngn junior, ade yg ckp, "Mesti best kan akak da 4th yr", "Kan dah 4th year, mesti da biase dah drug2 ni" dan sbgnye.. Wahai junior2 ku sekalian, wpon diriku ni da 4th yr, byk mende lg yg xtau.. there are still lotssss of things to be learnt especially during our final yr ni.. mmg xley lari la perasaan cuak nk grad ni.. huhu..

Kla, berbalik pd topik asal, Australia.. it's been 3 weeks since we left Aussie, rindu gile!! hehe.. So, our journey starts at Melbourne dgn half day tour visit tempat2 menarik n ambik gmbr.. seriusly, mesti mat2 saleh kat sane pndg pelik jek kat kitorg sbb kitorg mmg suke sgt amik gambar.. asal ade org kuarkan kamera jek., mesti semua org akan kerumun n posing.. mmg susah la nk amik gmbr solo shot.. haha.. on the first day ni jgkla, ktorg pergi shoppping kt Victoria's market.. brg dye sgtlaa murah.. most of the items are sold in bundle, 5/6 mende for 10aud jek.. tp, memandangkan ni baru 1st day kt aussie, so aku xberani nk shopping byk2 takut nnti xde duit.. so, I juz managed 2 grab souvenirs for my rum8, opal brooch which was supposed to be my mum's (tp dye xnak.. huhu), collared tshirt utk abah and another 2 tshirts.. best gak la bargain kitorg utk brooch 2 berhasil.. drpd 20aud, dpt kurg jd 12.50aud.. hehe.. Best!

Then on the next day, we went to Monash Uni.. It was indeed a very good experience.. We were briefed on the systems used in Monash Uni, whereby every sem dyorg amik 4 subjects ONLY! fuh, totally different from us kat uia.. every sem, mau sampai 7-8 subjects.. huh! then, for the industry subject, students are no thought bout the machine, how it operates etc as we learnt it here, but they learnt on how to formulate a medicine.. As Peter (one of the lecturer) said, pharmacist is not just a drug expert, we are a MEDICINE expert.. that means, kite kna tau not juz on the API, but also the excepients in the formulation. Then, utk train the students, they have a system (more like a game) where u will be given a task to create a tablet by choosing which excipient with the right percentage.. once the tablet da siap, u will perform the QC test; friability test, disintegration test etc and if the tablet is not within the spec, kenalah adjust blk the formula sampai la tablet 2 betul2 within spec.. best kan? by using this, student da xyah g industrial training.. This game is called Pharmatopia.

Next, we learned about MyDispense.. Since Australia is a country with a dispensing right, 80% of the graduated pharmacy students will work as community pmcist.. and again, MyDispense ni is a game where a customer will come to ur pharmacy with a precription, then kite kena cari ubat 2 kat mane, dlm shelf ke, fridge ke, locked cabinet etc, then masukkan ubat dlm basket, pas2 label ngn label2 yg sepatutnyer.. bile da settle, baru bley bg kat pt blk.. Then, kitorg dibawa tour pusing Monash Uni ni.. lab dye lbey kurg cam lab kite la... tp part yg plg best, kt student lounge dye ade microwave and fridge.. syok gile! Lps da abis kat monash, kitorg dibawa berjalan2 oleh student Malaysia kat Monash.. n xsangka, one of them is my sculmate mase kat taiping dulu.. dpt la jejak kasih kejap even kitorg xprnh ckp pon mase kt taiping dulu.. hehe..

a good place to study.. Maybe one day?

shopping at Vic's market, xpuas!

After melbourne, our next destination is sydney.. kt sydney, apart from jln2 naik cruise kat opera house, harbour bridge, shopping kat Paddy's market, Sydney wildlife, kitorg jgk pergi visit Uni of Sydney & Walsh's Village Pharmacy.. kat UoS cam xde ape sgt, except for amik2 gambar sbb bgunan dye sgt klasik n heritage tour..  Kat Walsh's Village Pharmacy, kitorg blaja byk mende n we can see a lot of difference from the retail pharmacy there and in Malaysia.. kt cne, dyorg sgt kreatif & innovative to reach out to the community by organizing a lot of events (events yg xde kaitan ngn kesihatan pon) juz to promote their pmcy.. pas2 ade mcm service kat pmcy 2 mcm sleep apnea, weight management, beauty salon, compounding, joint research with other uni and mcm2 lg.. pas2 kitorg dibwk ke bilik Webster packing, di mane ubat2 ni dipacking utk nursing home.. This type of packing sgt convenient sbb ubat mmg da terasing ikut waktu.. tinggal keje utk nurse bg kt patient utk mkn jek.. 

nilah rupe Webster packing

sydney wildlife!

in front of University of Sydney

done for 1st part.. next gonna be on Wagga Wagga.. another interesting place to visit.. hehe..

p/s: dlm kerancakan PRK ni, kesian tgk calon2 yg teraniaya n dituduh mcm2.. some people only knows how to judge from the outside, and then make various speculations.. rather than throwing accusations, why not get to know him/her personally.. mcm2 perangaila manusia ni.. oh, this Saturday i'm gonna have to be a faci for SEMSAS motivational visit... Wish me luck! Bye!

Bye2 Australia, Welcome back to UIA!

G'day mate! Last week we've spent around 10 days kat Australia visiting school of pharmacy (and of coz jalan2!) at Monash Uni, Charles Sturt Uni and Walsh's Village Pharmacy. It was a very interesting trip indeed and it was really worth it. But of course, good things come with great challenges. That's what occurs to us in the beginning of the journey towards LCCT (xnaik flight lg dah ade halangan!).. Lessons learnt, plan your trip early and carefully.. Plan awal2 tp xfikir btol2 xjadi gak.. cam kitorg yg hampir miss flight to Melbourne gara2 beli tiket bas from KT to KL pagi on the same day of the flight..

Alkisahnye, bas kitorg kol 9pg from KT.. Estimated to arrive Putra at 6pm.. Plan kitorg is, sampai Putra trus gi KL sentral, then naik ERL to LCCT to check in kol 8pm (flight kol 10.30pm).. Tup2, dah takdir yg ditentukan Allah, ari kitorg beli tiket 2 ialah hari org ramai sibuk nak blk ke KL blk lps raye.. Honestly, we never thought about this, sbb kitorg fkr "alah, mesti org sume da blk dah, kan da seminggu raye, jln xjam punyela!".. Turns out, raye kali ni, mostly dapat cuti seminggu.. Tapi, belum pon sampai kawasan yg dirisaukan jem, bas Trans******al buat hal.. dunno what the prob is, tp bas 2 stucked kat bengkel kat kuantan.. kitorg mmg da cuak gile takut termiss flight (burn rm3k kot), carilah pelbagai alternatif and lastly, kitorg decided to get off the bus and rent a taxi from Kuantan straight to LCCT. erm, don't ever ask what the cost is.. klu fikir, baik beli tiket flight trus la.. cepat n berbaloi.. nak dijadikan cite, taxi driver 2 sgt cooperative ngn kitorg n memecut selaju2nye n Alhamdulillah, kitorg sempat sampai kt LCCT 30minits before counter check in ttp.. Fuh! Spnjg perjalanan, mmg xley ddk diam, rase nk nangis pon ade.. Rase bersalah sgt kt kwn2 yg xley nk cek in sbb tunggu kitorg.. Thank you Allah sbb bg kitorg peluang utk menjejakkan kaki ke Australia..

Then, tiba di Melbourne, cuaca mmg sejuk coz we came in the middle of winter.. Sampai2 jek, tourist guide bwk kitorg jln2 and shopping! The next day, the educational part of the trip begin.. We visited Monash University. The facilities there are amazing! Nothing to be compared with University in Malaysia (UIA apetah lg.. ). . Want to know more, wait for the next part! hehe..

p/s: skrg da blk kat uia, so i need to have a good nite sleep in order to have a fresh start for a new semester.. i'm a final year student now! huh, dunno how to act like one, rase cam xckp ilmu je lg nk jadi final year and finally grad.. wish me luck! oh, gambar i'll upload on next part..
