Patients with long-term conditions will get free prescriptions under plans announced by Gordon Brown.Prescription charges for cancer patients will be scrapped throughout the course of next year in England, he told delegates at Labour's conference in Manchester.The eventual aim is to phase out the charge for all patients with long-term conditions.The Government will consult with clinicians, stakeholders and patient groups to work out which conditions will be covered.At present, long-term conditio......

I attended my friends' housewarming party in Newcastle. Sadly I went alone from Sunderland to Newcastle. I didn't have my dinner before that because I worked on Saturday this month, so I was a bit hungry and looking forward to something to eat.

| Happy and enjoyable day |
| 2008-09-18 14:38:00 |
Today is a happy day. My tutor has started to teach me a lot of pharmacy stuffs that I’ve doubt my ability to remember them all.
Normally, I didn’t talk nor had any conversation with anyone in the pharmacy, of course from time to time we did talk a bit but today is lucky, and I didn’t make many mistakes.
Even if there were, they were very minor and nothing to worry about.
So, I would declare today as commencement of my pre-registration training year.
Even my tutor bothered to ask me wheth......

| My 'agriculture trip' |
| 2008-09-13 13:34:00 |
My ‘agriculture study’ at Tuscany and Siena was organized by the BN Backbenchers Club Florence Plus Hostel to enable my family and myself to learn more about the ‘culture’ in Italy.
Unfortunately, we use bus instead of helicopter or plane to the designated places as we were not funded by the government ‘tax’ monies.
We paid the tour all by ourselves without using the government money and it didn’t cost much aswell, only €25 per person.
Actually we planned to go to more pla......

| What have I learned? |
| 2008-09-12 17:04:00 |
What have I learned during my one month pre-registration?
Basically, I didn’t learn anything or yet. Everything was due to the busy staffs and in the pharmacy.
This Wednesday was my first time to enter into the dispensary area. I thought the computer was easy for me to play with.
Unfortunately, it’s not. The system is called LINKED system, and I have no idea what the hell it is.
Despite my talent in computer, still, I have problem dealing with the system. Throughout the dispensing p......

| 2008-09-08 14:58:00 |
Because I was a bit bored and lonely at the moment, I took my time looking back the old pictures that I stored in my laptop. And I came across the Brussels’ trip pictures which I went during the last Christmas holiday with MJ, June Lim and her young brother.
Before you read further, I would like to remark that the pictures were not in sequence as it happened long time ago, almost a year. So, I can’t really remember much detail about the trip.
Anyway, because the trip was during Chri......

| Malaysia’s BN is so unprofessional |
| 2008-09-07 14:59:00 |
In order to counter attack Anwar’s effort to topple the BN as ruling party in Malaysia which is expected to happen on 16th September, the government has sent BN MP overseas until the day after the poll which will be on 17th September. To be honest, I do think this is a bit unprofessional method or way of dealing with the problem. In general speaking, the BN should think of something more promising and effective. This looks like they are out of idea of how to defend themselves and run awa......

What is it like to be a billionaire like Bruce Wayne from Batman series? One, you date with movie stars and drives sport car.
Two, you buy something that is not for sale.
Three, you have the authorities over anything because you own the place.
Four, you don’t have to worry attending an event late as you can use helicopter to drop you off.

| The Great Malaysia |
| 2008-09-03 13:32:00 |
Before Malaysia was born, there was a Malaya land. We know that Tunku Abdul Rahman came to Borneo, and only then Malaysia was born and become multi racial country. This is how Barisan National was born.
For a time we lived in harmony, but like all countries, some want to be powerful and rule the whole country, while others wanted to live in just and peace. And so the country becomes corrupted, opposition parties were raised to fight against the corruption and nepotism.
This is how pe......

| The first day I didn't step out of the house |
| 2008-09-01 14:19:00 |
Today is the first day I didn’t step out of the house ever since I moved in to the new house. Why is it possible? How? Since I moved in to the new house on 1st August 2008, straight after my return from London, I always went out of the house at least once. This is because I worked from Monday to Friday and on Saturday, I need to go out to do my own stuffs such as banking, post mail, cut my hair, grocery shopping. On every Sunday, I go to church in the morning and then to ASDA. So basicall......

Last night we celebrate Michelle’s 22nd birthday at Zizzi Italian restaurant. Her real birthday is on 25th August. Only 7 of us went for the celebration (Dennis, Jasmeen, Nicholas, Michelle, Allan, Siew Ching and I). The food weren’t nice and it was too noisy in the restaurant.
After that, we went to the Gate behind the china street to drink wine. I didn’t really want to drink wine this time for certain reason. We came back to Sunderland by taxi early in the morning around 1.45am. ......

Today I went to Newcastle to buy some Biotherm products as requested by MJ. The products are believed can be only found at the Edon Square’s Boots Pharmacy.

The Chinese lady was nice and gave me a lot of free samples. She even gave me a bag which I am not sure what is it used for.Biotherm
Anyway, I was happy to be able to get those free samples and it saves me money as I don’t have to spend my money to buy some cleanser for myself. Now I have so......

I think my last few posts were a bit rush. I didn’t really write in depth of what I originally intended to. Anyway, I was in London last weekend till Monday which was public bank holiday.
The closing ceremony wasn’t as great as the opening ceremony but it’s good enough to impress the world. Even the locum pharmacist at Greens Pharmacy (where I work) said that London is going to struggle in everything as it’s impossible for them to do as successful as the Beijing Olympic. He is UK cit......

Wow…despite getting 2nd place in badminton sport, now Lee Chong Wei has been awarded with the title “Datuk” , rewarded with RM300 000 and RM3 000 pension per month. Now, the questions arise here. Is Lee being manipulated by Barisan National (BN)? I believe many people will say so but I don’t think so. Lee is not a child who is going to be manipulated easily. The problem is whether he wants to be manipulated or not. With the rewards mentioned above, do you think he won’t? There is eve......

According to the weather forecast, tomorrow is going to be a sunny day. I know most or all of you might disagree with me but I honestly prefer rain. The sound of the raindrops added to my silent environment and loneliness really make me more awake. If it is sunny day, I feel melted, lazy and worst, I will lose my conce......

In the final match between Lee Chong Wei against the China's Lin Dan, I truly understand some of us were disappointed by the defeat that drop the hopes of Malaysia to get gold in Olympic 2008. Some of us are angry because the match didn't really meet the expectation and it was a total loss or defeat.
However, I share my passion and understanding of the situation and I don't think he deserves to be critisied by the Malaysian. I know many of us did and som......

You don’t have to bother waking up early in the morning and to bully your legs like hell. But this apply to people who are like me, living in loneliness and tiredness where your life is about waking up in the morning just to prepare to go to work till almost evening and th......

| 2008-08-06 16:11:00 |
Firstly, according to gay, no one will come out to the public and announce he is sodomized by someone else. If he does, he is insane and crazy. Secondly, the person is around 27 years old, and I believe Anwar is far older than he, so who is probably stronger? Thirdly, Anwar is so rich and he is married for many years (I am not sure how long) with his wife, did he suddenly become gay? OMG, normal people can become gay all of sudden, is it? Can't he find more pretty women? You guess it? Fo......

If I am not mistaken, I believe he mentioned before after the death of his late wife that he was going to concentrate on governing the country. I see, he married again 2 years later after the death of his late wife. No wonder he feels so sleepy during all the meetings and conferences. As a man, I truly understand this. Sorry pal, we can’t blame him for being sleeping all the time.......
