Upcoming Events

One of the perks of working in the retail line of this business is to get the opportunites to go for seminars.

CPE (Continuing Pharmacy Education ) we call it. They are programmes, seminars or workshops to reinforce our knowledge and update us to newer results of recent clinical trials or findings. *(or brainwash us into selling more of the products by the company sponsoring the trip - which i think is the MAIN purpose.. haha)*

These workshops usually last for 2 days.. and the beauty of it is... u get to stay at 5 star hotels.. eat great food at the price of nothing !! Yup... it's absolutely freeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

You seldom get these 3 words in a sentences right? 5 Star hotel, great food & free!!! But it's happening !!!

I'll be going for one end of the month! YAY!! It's been awhile since i've been to one. And it's going to be held in The Westin, Langkawi... Can't wait!! Air tickets and all have been paid for.. all i need to do is to pack up and go!!!

Well.. something to look forward to.. although there will be some studying going on, but it's just going to be a day of work... i still get time to rest & relax. Probably visit thier SPA for a relaxing treatment... Oh... to walk along the beach at sunset... hm... sounds really nice right?

Road trip!

It's Queen's birthday on Monday - long weekend!

Going for a 3 day trip to a small coastal town called Mallacoota with a few friends. It's just over 500km from Melbourne and surrounded by a beautiful national park. Can't wait to get away from city and immerse ourselves in nature for the next few days. We're going to stay in a cabin-style accomodation (I think) that is situated by a lake (if I remember correctly). There's gonna be lots of bushworking (I hope) and other activities (that we have yet to plan). First stop tomorrow - Information Centre to see what we can do there. Apparently there's a good walk up a peak that gives a good view of the surrounding lakes and coastline. There's also gonna be lots of eating because we went a little bit excessive with food, as usual.

Everything's all packed and organised. Hopefully the boot's going to be large enough for all our stuff. Hopefully the weatherman's got it wrong this time about the rain and wind that threaten to accompany us this weekend. Hopefully we'll start on time tomorrow (knowing the history of our previous trips). Hopefully I've remembered to packed everything I'm suppose to bring.

Irregardless, it's gonna be a great road trip! Roadtrips in Australia are fantastic. The roads are generally good, maps are reliable, there're information centres almost everywhere with a wealth of local information and it's generally pretty safe. It's a huge continent with lotsa interesting places to visit - the coasts, quaint little towns, lots and lots of national parks, the great outback etc. The distance is one thing to get used to - it's a pretty big country after all- but the journey is very much as enjoyable as the destination itself.

PS Momochin: I actually left instructions for my cousin to collect daily ingredients for me - "wu yao ke jiu" liau
