*Phew!!
Finally all the europe, London, Scotland tours etc are finally over!!
It's been one heck of a tiring month!! But a good one, no doubt!
And I'll be graduating today!!! *jumps excitedly*
Jacqueline Lee, a pharmacy graduate and a soon to be pre-registered pharmacist! Yippeeeeeeeeeee!!!
But seriously, I don't feel that I'm even qualified to be a pre-reg yet wth
3 and a half years of studying shit that's not really related to hospital scenarios except for one subject, Pharmaceutical Care....there's definitely a high chance I might kill someone...*sigh
Worst yet, everyone will EXPECT us pharmacy graduate to have known every single thing a pharmacist should know already.
HELLO?!!! We learn from experience!! Not from books entirely! Cause I feel it's pretty useless...plus I've forgotten 90% of what I've stuffed into my brain during exam period!
So anyway, will be packing my stuff tmr...*could feel the massive headache coming up* and flying back home on wed! Yayyyyy!
Can't wait to see family, friends, my girls and the career man soon! LOL
On another note, I'm missing Glasgow already...*sigh
I miss JBC, the place we stayed previously, A LOT A LOT!!
Happy crazy memories...and the familiarity...haihz...
I'll be missing u lots housematesey!!!!
Ok..gtg go get my grad robe soon...
The next time I update my blog, I would probably be typing in my lovely room back homeeee!! Weee!

But things have seemed as though it was being fast forwarded, especially with the stupid horrendous shifting out and into an even more pathetic hostel today!

An adventure not to be forgotten =)
Wah...I haven't gotten proper rest ever since my last paper like...less than 2 weeks ago.
Things have been crazy!! And I'm super exhausted now!
I can't even bring myself to watch a full movie without falling asleep in btw =(
Anyhuu, I won't be uploading any pics here cause I'm so sick of uploading any especially after stupid FB decided to have some problems with its uploader WHEN I was uploading a few albums at the same time. ARGH!
I ended up starring at the com screen for damn long and kept getting "upload failed" notice!
Irritating!
Okok chill.
So let's start from my England trip shall we? lol
It was a totally unplanned trip, as in we just booked the tickets and everything but we didn't really plan where we wanted to go or where to visit.
We were like damn chilling about the whole trip la...haha
So the day after exam, we were suppose to catch a flight to London at night because we had a tour which starts the following morning from London.
BUT we were dilly dally-ing the whole day as though we have all the time in the world and I even have time to go shopping for a while that we reached the airport pretty late although it wasn't past the check-in time yet.
At the airport, the place was so deserted except for this really LONG queue and it's the ONLY queue at the check-in counter. We saw our London Stansted signboard beside the Germany flight's signboard and so we asked ppl on the queue if that was the only queue for all flights. (I know la! Damn bimbo ok. That was like the stupidest thing to do ever! Sigh.)
We even met one of our batchmates there, Yieng, who was going to Germany and was queuing up on that line. So the 3 bimbos went to the very end of the line to queue and that was when we saw PECKHAMS!! Weee! What a perfect time! Cause we were just talking bout wanting to go peckhams soon. Bought a few cakes and peanut butter chocs and went back queing.
We looked at the time. Hmm..it's already 5 mins past the check-in time? This doesn't look right.
Jia went in front to check things out and she came back running and said that the London Stansted signboard is GONE!!!
I totally ran there and asked the counter fella and he said that I can no longer check-in and asked me to go over to another counter for help.
My heart and mind went blank for a sec man!
Ran to the other counter and kam ngam some spanish lady was in front of me and she also missed the check-in time and she was suppose to be on the same flight as us.
The stupid woman over the counter damn kao lan ci, kept saying that it's past the check-in time. Even if it's 1 min after check-in time, they won't allow us in. There's nothing she can do and we have missed the flight. Afterthat, she totally won't layan u d. It's like...CASE CLOSED. No negotiation.
3 of us just stood there with our mouths opened, mind blanked, not knowing what to do.
It dawned on us that if we don't get to London in time, we might have to forfeit the tour too, which cost a bomb.
The lan ci woman told us that we could catch the next flight but we have to pay another 100 pounds! Siao! Even so, we won't be in London in time for the tour. So that was out of the question.
In the end, I called Yew Jinn to check for any available train or bus to London asap.
It was nerve wrecking waiting for him to call me back. If there was no train or bus at that time, we're soo doomed. =(
Luckily, there was a bus available which reaches London an hour before our tour starts!!
But to get from Prestwick (the current airport we're in) to Glasgow bus station, it would take another hour or so and we were so paranoid that the tickets could be sold out by then.
So guess who was our hero of the day?
HAHA
Yew Jinn helped us to book the tickets online and RAN to the library (cause it was closing soon) to print the tickets for us and THANK GOD he has only ONE credit left in his printing card for it!! DAMN DRAMA I tell u!! *phew*
So yeah, we managed to joined the tour we booked. It was such a relief to hop into that tour bus and the first thing that came into our mind was, OMG....Yew Jinn has MADE THIS HAPPENED! Haha!!
Super drama! What an adventure man. Totally CHI KEK!
We were laughing like mad about it afterthat!! Laugh until stomach pain man! WAHAHHA
I can still remember our faces so clearly when we first got to know we missed the flight. Seriously we were in a state of SHOCK that we just couldn't think what to do next!
But it was a good experience in a way HAHA
We were pretty calm about the whole situation and no, we did not scream or cry or pull our hairs ok.
On that day tour from London, we visited Stonehedge (which u go like, hmm............that's it?), Bath (Beautiful! But I kinda expected a more scenic view. Maybe because I was comparing scotland & england and obviously scotland is much prettier) and Stratford-Upon-Avon (which I was quite disappointed of because it was just a small little town and not as scenic as I thought it would be. It's just known for being Shakespeare's birthplace)
That night, we stayed at my friend, Kim's place who was actually rushing to finish up her assignment haha! But we ended up talking anyway and it felt good meeting up after so long =)
We only had 3 hours of sleep before leaving to the airport for our flight to Newquay in Cornwall. The two other girls ar, sleeping happily in the minicab while I was forcing my eyes to stay open cause I was sitting in front and the driver doesn't even know how to go to Stansted and was depending on his GPS. We nearly made a wrong turning somemore! Luckily I saw the signboard and told him it wasn't that turning. Urgh. So it's true. GPS isn't exactly 100% reliable.
The airport in Newquay is like, the SMALLEST airport I've ever been man! Seriously!! It's FREAKING small! HAHA Damn cute. And when we went out of the airport, everywhere was just...GREEN....
There were farms and windmills everywhere!
We had to take a cab to St Ives where our B&B is, which is an hour away from the airport. AND THE STUPID CAB DRIVER CON US!! He charged us wayyy more than it should be and he gave us the reason that it was because that day happened to be a bank holiday (it's like their public hols la). We had no other options and we HAD to take a cab there. So aih...konon la he gave us "discount" somemore but it was actually still way overpriced. We only found out about this after the B&B lady told us that the driver was being "naughty" =(
But at least he was nice enough to make an effort to drive us right in front of our B&B's doorstep even though he was unsure of the way there. Hmm.
When we were reaching St Ives, OMG......all 3 of us were just shocked by the stunning view!!
It was like seeing a replica of Greece! HAHAHAHA Okla...obviously can't beat Greece la..but it was pretty similar! With all the buildings on the hill beside the sea...Gosh...it was just damn beautiful...*ahhhhhhhh
Too bad the weather was really cold that day and going to the beach was out of the question. So we just explored the town area and omgomgomgomg! There were so many pastry shops!!!! Heaven for meeeee!!!
I was oogling over all the pastries, wanting to try each and every one! LOL
The following day, the weather got better and it was finally SUNNY!! *yay!
Off to the beach!! Weeee!
But it was still quite cold la...cause the wind was still quite strong but too bad la...we nge nge wanna go also haha!
Overall, it was just an awesome trip la...
Even our B&B was just super duper lovely and both the husband and wife, owners of the B&B we stayed in were really nice friendly ppl =) Not to mention those CUTE little scottish terriers, Jessie and Alfie!!!! We miss them soo much!!
Now everywhere we go, whenever we see any dogs which resembles them, we'll scream Jessie! Or Alfieee!! LOL Damn bodoh haha
*Ahh........
This is officially my last trip with my friends here =( But I'm glad that the trip turned out to be much better than we expected although there were lots of "adventures" in between Haha! But it was all good fun!! LOL
I'm gonna miss this life sooo much!!!
Things have been crazy!! And I'm super exhausted now!
