Actually, results came out yesterday, but I was too lazy (?) to post so... HAHA..
Honestly, the results are far better than what I had expected based on what I felt during the exams and my normal results. Then again, it still fell short of what I really hoped to get. Oh well, at least I still managed to pull my CAP back up, and also achieved results that are comparable (actually, they're equivalent score-wise) with the results that I obtained in semester 2. Not only so, it's also the first time I got an A grade on my core modules, and for a pharmacy module too!! Wee!!! *(^o^)*

Over the past week
Haha, I've been lazy (and tired), so there has been no updates over the past week (. .||)
Anyways, let's take a little walkthrough of what happened over the week:
Mon - Went out late and missed the shuttle bus and decided to take service 27. Ended up taking the wrong direction and went to the airport o-o|| A 10+ min trip ended up taking 40+ min.
Tue - Nothing much really, other than we've also started on discussing and presenting what we've found out about various herbal remedies and supplements. Turns out that the information is very diverse, and more research is necessary to draw conclusions on this, but for now, just know what they're most commonly used for traditional so that you know what to tell the customers.
Wed - More presentations, and store work (including putting up stock and also doing renumbering of price tickets in the store). A new realisation is that I might actually be interested in doing research into herbs and supplements. Hoho~ A new direction perhaps? And a possible goal for me to work towards too!
Thu - My other classmate went on off today, so it's just me and my preceptor. Quite an interesting day, since I got the chance to check out the pharmacy items available at our store, and helped out in some dispensing matters. Perhaps the best part is that I can speak Mandarin the whole day.. Wee~ *^o^*
As for today, it's the final chapter of our herbal remedies and supplements presentation, and we were quizzed on some of the information that we have presented and shared. Weird as it sounds, I found out that I'm better in remembering the information shared by my classmate than myself (~.~||)
An additional bonus is that, I actually get to help out in dispensing again today! Ah... Feels like another great step in a right direction. Perhaps working in a community pharmacy isn't as bad as I figured it to be, but then again, it still doesn't change the fact that I don't like direct patient contact, and my preceptor did say that I was a bit too nervous during dispensing... Something to work on~
Last but not least, results are due to be out tomorrow. Hopefully, everything will turn out fine. Otherwise... HAIZ Don't really know what to say....
Well, nothing much that can be done, so let's just relax and enjoy the rest of the day (and tomorrow, till results~)!! v^o^v

8 hours later, Kinokuniya!
I was late to work today... Underestimated the time taken to complete something, resulting in me leaving home far later than expected (about 10 mins later..) and so, I missed to shuttle bus, and ended up about 5-7 mins late. Haiz...
Anyways, after work, it was the long awaited Kinokuniya 20% discount promotion!!! I didn't mention it yesterday, but we went down to Kino too! But as the discount is on today, we didn't get anything yesterday, and decided to come back down today to get what we wanted. Ended up spending $50+ on books (. .||), and I also forgotten to use the voucher I obtained from my friend (double whammy...)
Oh well, hopefully, I'll have the chance to spend it on something else before it expires >.<

Cash Studio Karaoke & later~
Wee!! Got a break from my preceptorship today~
Went out with my CCA friends to Cash Studio to sing japanese songs!! And we sang longer than the hours allocated again (though this is only the 2nd time that I had gone there). Really enjoyed myself there and hopefully, we'll have the time to go down there again, but this time, we should do our 'homework' beforehand so we know what songs we want to sing, and how to find them fast enough!
After which, we went for dinner and also spent some time (~1h+?) at the National Library (Main) playing card games. The next item on the itinerary was down to the arcade at Parco, where we wasted (haha~) time on photo hunt and some drum and guitar play.
Anyways, today was a real fun day!! Really enjoyed myself~

Stock - IN
Today, new stock came into our store and we spent pretty much half the day placing the items onto the shelves. Nothing much to say about that~
Evening time was spent on some checking up and studying on OTC drugs, and also on sticking the labels for P items. I kind of feel more connected with the people of my store today, with all the going-ons and whatnots, hopefully, this can keep up and the rest of the preceptorship will be fun and interesting!

Second day, First day
Today's the second day of my preceptorship, but the first day where I official start work. In the morning, we started with checking out and remembering some of the drugs (cough/flu/fever/dermal/antisepsis) available at our store, and our preceptor tested us on that. Turns out that my preceptor is a really nice and friendly person as expected, which is great!!
On a side note, I completed my covert ops today too. Spent some money in the process, since I just wasn't able to reject it (can't bare to do that..), but oh well, as long as I get the assignment done, that's an acceptable hiccup.

Mother's Day and First Day
Yesterday was Mother's day! As usual, we went out to eat to celebrate the event, but instead of choosing dinner as most others do, we chose to have lunch instead. Less packed, and possibly cheaper (maybe?). Well, the food wasn't too good, nor was it too bad, but as long as everyone's happy, it's all alright.
And, on to today!! Today was the first day of my preceptorship. Kind of uneventful though, since it's mostly some lecture on proper conduct and human language skills in the morning, and a training session on how to do merchandising in the afternoon. The afternoon session was far more interesting, since what was taught was something relatively new to me, and it made me understand why things are placed and done the way they are in shop fronts.
I also got a chance to meet and speak to my preceptor today! She looks nice and appears to be very friendly too. Hopefully the remaining 6 weeks will be interesting and fun!

Industrial Visit
Today, we went for an industrial visit to GSK (GlaxoSmithKline)'s primary plant over at Jurong. The place was really remote!! It was a pain to get there and back~
Overall, it was a rather interesting visit, to listen to working pharmacists' experience and to look at the manufacturing process of pharmaceutical ingredients. Though the details are far too technical (engineering wise) and all the pipes and reactors were kind of boring.. (-.-||)
Oh, and I felt kind of guilty, since I have to miss the morning session of the practical training, and my partner has to do everything by herself in the morning.. Sorry! m(_ _)m

A New Beginning
Today's the start of a new week, where I'm back again to school for the training for the innovative project. Kinda interesting I guess, since we'll have the chance to actually participate and observe, and potentially improve, an actual manufacturing and purifying process.
In addition, our club had our post exams meeting today, with many issues for the upcoming 3 months being discussed. Time to write the minutes again...
