A Whole New Environment

Boots placement just ended last week. Which was good cause i wouldn't needa travel so far anymore. One hour bus ride to Eastwood and plus the tickets are in POUNDS now. Heartache. Let me show you how much was my tickets for the entire 5 days placement.

First day was £9 then second and third day, improved a little. £8. Fourth and fifth day, meet two different nice bus drivers. £5.40. Actually kangaroo cant be used on Rainbow 1 but he still let me go. Weeee, £2.60 saved for Fish and Chips. =) Not just these bus drivers, other bus drivers are really nice too. Ask them for A, they will tell u from A to Z.

Luckily Boots do pay us for this placement. Which was rather high compared to M'sia where they don't even pay you. £6.14 an hour. We work 7 hours a day excluding lunch. Phewww, if not i would have vomit blood everyday looking at my bus fares.

So enough babbling on the bus fare. Now how was the placement?? Was good. Learn quite a bit about the dispensing system here. Totally different from the community pharmacy in M'sia. Met really nice people there. Both the pharmacists and the patients. Really patient patients i would say.


Welcome abroad to Rainbow 1 after Indigo




Passing by these beautiful cottage-feel houses every single day


The hypermarket that i always visit just to get small change.
£50 is like super big to them. When i handed 50 to them, they
looked at me like so weirdo and ask whether i have smaller change.
If i have, i wouldn't have to buy a bottle of orange juice just to get
some small change in order to buy a burger for lunch. Then they
started calling for manager to check if the money was fake. Not just
this place,it applies to everywhere =.=


Place to grab my lunch. Greggs. Equivalent to pastries. Sick of it
now. Another 2 years to go ='(
