Kinda...

So, a few days ago I kind of wrote a blog post about how I really feel about life, about MH370, about our country-seems like a very interesting blog post, isn't it? Well too bad, because I got too empathetic and emotional when writing that particular post that I actually cried before posting it haha! It's in its beautiful draft form now. :P

Anyway, back to the present.

I simply do not have any idea on what I should do in the future, what I should do with my life. I know that I wanted to become a lecturer, but I am still clueless on what area should I undertake. 
5+ weeks attachment at IKOP Sdn Bhd (Pilot Plant) had been a blast, and I'm currently in the Research and Development department, whereby I was forced to mundanely count the number of particles of the Paracetamol powder, viewing them using the high magnification optical microscope manifested onto my laptop screen via the installed DinoCapture software. I dislike handling complicated machines (I was clueless on how to set up my new printer) so I guess Pharmaceutical Technology is not for me...

Which leaves us to....
- Pharmaceutical Chemistry- Oh, Chemistry. I love Chemistry so much. It had been my most favourite subject back then at school because I had a very awesome teacher- Mr Chong, thank you very much! I don't know in what other way could I express my gratitude towards you. Okay, I gotta study hard, I gotta make you proud to have me as your student. :)
I am more towards a Physical Chemistry kind of person, rather than the Organic Chemistry. I used to love Organic Chemistry back then at school but as I entered my foundation studies, I had faced difficulties in understanding this subject simply because I don't understand what the lecturer had been teaching me. So, I grew confused and started to hate Organic Chemistry. But as I embarked upon my degree, and that I had to face Organic Chemistry again, I started to work really hard and yeah, it turned out all right, thanks to a great lecturer. 
But research. Oh, I wonder how many times had I talked about this. Research is sooo frustrating. I love doing research but arghhh it's soooo frustrating when you do not get the results that you wanted. I might consider taking Pharmaceutical Chemistry as my post-doctoral studies (cewwahhh).

-Pharmacology- I'm not that good in memorizing drugs and its mechanisms of action. Plus, Pharmacology is a research-based field of study. One major problem: I am scared of rats!!!! T___T

-Clinical Pharmacy- Oh, so far, throughout my 4 years here in Kulliyyah of Pharmacy, I scored quite well in subjects related to this field. I love Clinical Pharmacy. Well, let's see how long does this feeling last during the upcoming 6 weeks attachment at the hospital eh? 
For Clinical Pharmacy, you have a chance to communicate with the public, to give talks, to just express and convey your ideas on anything that would uphold the career of a pharmacist or the integrity of the Pharmacy field itself. You could write, you could do research involving the public perception or something. I think I like this kind of works. People could be frustrating, I know but at least I got to develop my communication and social skills, muahahaha.

I think most of my friends and other people agree that I am not suited for this Pharmacy-related area (I'm more towards an Arts-y person->that's what they said) but heyyy I'm gonna prove them wrong!! :P

So, if I were to pursue my studies in Pharmacy related area, Clinical Pharmacy tops my list for now. 

If I were to pursue my studies in other areas, I'd like to do
-Anthropology and Journalism
- History and Archaeology!!!
- Language and Literature 
- Foreign Language!!! (I could teach Bahasa Melayu at Japan! Haha) 
-Law (?) Oh forget it no way am I going to take Law. 

So, that's all for me! Let's pray for MH370!!!
