Things to do while awaiting for visa

I have more or less around 2 months before my visa application will be approved. In the mean time there are so many things I can do!

The best of all, I can have enough amount of sleep EVERY DAY! How awesome it is! If you don't think so, sure you will understand once you start working, especially if you are a night owl like me! Haha!

Night Owl
(http://callyjanestudio.blogspot.com/2012/09/night-owls.html)

I'm trying my very very best to fix my biological clock. I wish to wake up at 7 am so that I can get ready for class at 8.30am. I can't be late anymore since I am the teacher this time! aaaargghh! and my best record until now is still 10am T.T ughhh this sucks! Keep calm, we still have 1.5 months to change this! I CAN DO THIS! Do you have any tips to be an early bird? Share with me! ;)

Besides sleeping, here are several things I'm currently on while waiting for the visa to get approved,

1. Being a part-time English teacher. I think it is a good idea to brush up my English and teaching skill before I get to my real long term classes.
2. Being a part-time cashier. I'm helping my mom to replace the cashier working for us so that he can take some rest. I quite enjoy it, the colleagues are nice, like family! I laugh a lot with these people!
3. Blogging. I shall write again to brush up my language and communication skills, and especially English! Oh gosh, It deteriorates so much from the first time I start uni I guess! *face palm
4. Stretching, stretching, and stretching my legs! I challenge myself to be able to split, be it middle split or side splits.
5. Dancing, stretching my back u-uh, can't do, I have back injury which has not recovered fully T.T
6. Knitting. I never knew that my mom knit! and she knits well! I asked her to teach me yesterday, it's pretty fun though my left hand cramped a little because I was not used to it!
7. Cooking. I failed once, twice. >.< I shall try again!
8. Preparing my teaching aids and materials. All my secondary notebooks (my precious) had been recycled when my sis was about to get married. So I have to re-do again! and maybe try a different approach.
9. Catching up with some friends in this town.
10. Dresses hunting. I'm currently checking on prices of dresses to be sent to my friends.
11. Present hunting. A friend of mine will celebrate her birthday soon! I shall prepare something for her! ^^
12. Pharmacist? I just got a phone call from a friend who is working in a hospital in town to help out with the pharmacy department, but not sure yet

Wow, I didn't see that I have a lot of things to do until I had listed it! Good luck!
This shall be my motivation to wake up early in the morning!
Got to wake up, night owl!

Let's end this post with the quote of the day below.

Special thanks to Alex who lent me this precious Life's Little Instruction Book!

Wishing you a great weekend ahead! and for Monashians, happy swot vac! =)

A New Beginning

Hello everyone! Do you like the new template of this blog?
Honestly, I'm not a fan of pink colour, but I thought of trying something new! So I just pick any colour that makes me happy and pink it is! (shockingly!)

As the title suggests, it is a new beginning of my life. For the past 4.5 years, I had been preparing myself to be a great pharmacist! But due to complication issues that I have with pursuing this ambition, I decided to let it go. Well, it is not easy to begin with, I cried a lot, A LOT!, I became bitter about this pharmacy field, about the people, the institutions, about the rules and everything. It is not a nice thing. I can go on and on...

...but, it is history...

I'm proud to say that I can make peace within myself, and let go. Something stroke me and "BANG! hey, it is not so bad after all!" Besides, it gives me a chance to be whatever I wanna be rather than constricting myself to only 1 field. And tell you, I have so many dreams, m.a.n.y. d.r.e.a.m.s! so Horrayy! It's time for me to pursue those dreams!

Through a lot of good testimonials and recommendations, I applied for a job to this company. I'm soooo happy that I am accepted, as teacher! ^^ and so my journey as a young teacher shall begin!
Now I'm waiting for my visa to be granted. Wish me luck! =)
I'm soooo excited! In my head, I can imagine myself with the students. The first words that I will be speaking to my first batch of students keep repeating in my head. Though it is not very clear, It sounds so real in my head! Haha! (crazy!)

People say you shall start teaching and you will realize it is not as exciting as you are thinking now. Haha, maybe it is true, but it doesn't hurt to feel this joy and excitement! heeeee! =D

Anyway, I'm so excited for this new beginning! and I couldn't be more happier that my family and friends are happy for me too! =') Thank you for always be beside me no matter what!

I will not totally delete Pharmacy from my life, after all it has played a part to shape me as who I am today, and it makes me more aware about medicines in general! (Very important! Drugs can kill you if you are not careful!) I will still share with you my experience and inspiring stories about pharmacy world! So juniors and fellow friends who are soon becoming pre-registered pharmacists, let's keep sharing our stories! =) Though now I have moved on to other profession, I will treasure this precious knowledge that I learned. =)

With this, I welcome myself back to A B C Dee! A journal of a (soon-to-be) young teacher! =)
