pharmacy kinda involves biology (physiology, to be exact) and chemistry, doesn't it?

you come from SPM chemistry? You have so much more to learn. Good to know you're interested in it. Just be sure that that interest stays with you for as long as it takes to complete your ambition.

nope, firstly, i like chem,
secondly, the demand for pharmacist is quite high (in brunei). LOL

no one ask me to take this course, i asked them about it, then they gave their opinion.

my parents are pretty much fine with anything.

u r from brunei?

errmmm..which part of chemistry u like?

well..if u do foundation there's no much choices left but to go straight to the intended course but with A-levels u got more flexibility(provided results are good).

take A levels. In my opinion if you can study for it, always go for the one with a wider option. Time is nothing to young people like us.

IMHO Most people know what they want to do after a pre-U (either because they realise the knowledge involved or Pre-U sparked the true interest). Post-SPM students should not be making that decision now.

My personal experience: when small, I wanted to be a computer engineer (that time (UPSR) I knew nothing about it, juz know computer damn nice), then i wanted to be a cardiologist ( (PMR) that time still dunno much about bio), then I want to be a psychologist ( (SPM) kinda interested in human thinking, thank god for the inner scientist in me to stop me), and for a while I wanted to study sociology ( (STPM) wanted to quit science). But being interested in mechanics has always been a part of me. So, here I am, waiting to study mechanical engineering (thanks Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman).

Maybe my 'interest' is still changing... Shiat....

yeapz. organic chemistry.

i tell people sometimes to take 2 or 3 hours off their day and stare at a blank wall and think what they actually want.

organic. Walau paling scary punya. So many synthesises to memorise, so many variations of molecules to memorise. Actually still ok la compared to inorganic.

Staring at the wall will lead to staring at the monitor, and eventually leads to staring at youtube, laughing spontaneously. haha.

true enough.. urgh, life. -.- i did consider what happen if i wanted to change course after foundation year, so my dad ask me not to rush and take my time. A levels was my first plan because there wasnt any other way to enter nottingham besides STPM and A levels. Then nottingham said there is foundation which kinda ease my heart because A levels is 2 years and taylors is far from my house but i am near to nottingham

yes, i thought i was going to overtake my father's ICT business but then later on i changed my mind after i realize how much i love science. LOL. Then it was between medic and pharmacy. Then i made pharmacy my first choice, and then medic my second. T_T and i was so sure about pharmacy. LOL!! i feel hilarious right now

BUT WAIT, the foundation cant be that easy right? I mean there must be standards, if not i dont think its that easy to enter Mpharm.

Added on July 5, 2010, 11:23 pmerm. so where does brunei come in the picture?

go ucsi do a levels la. nearer to semenyih ma.why need go till taylors?

girl, if u like science/applied bio/applied chemistry, study science, not pharmacy/medicine la. set your priorities right. do u even know what a pharmacist do? if you are working in the hospital for example.

aiyo..as u said..for A-levels..study 2 years..just do 3-4 subjects..for foundation about 11 months..study about 7 subjects(not sure about notts foundation programme).. how can compare?

LOL. er, job opportunities.
usci? lol i dont like it there. yeash. LOL its like the doctors tells the patient his problem, then the patient tell the pharmacist then the pharmacist gives the medicine. =) right?

hmm.. yesh, i get a clearer picture now. =)

u go brunei research before?

lol. why dun like it there? what u like about taylors then?

ermm....correct in a way..but the patient dun tell the pharmacist la..the doctor will write a prescription for the pharmacist and the medicine will be dispensed..but this job is now more in private hospitals..

in gov hospital..dispensing jobs will be done by dispensers...graduates with diploma in pharmacy...ur job will be looking through at prescriptions given by those housemen..check whether the dosage correct or not...then u need go in clean room prepare IV drugs n nutrients for patients..and u might to need to round wards to check on patients conditions and their medications..whether need increase or decrease their dosage....etc..

Brunei? job opportunities? HARH?

Has anyone heard of pharmacist not getting a job in malaysia? i certainly have never heard anyone say so...

and malaysia is still in need of pharmacists, the last time i read on the news paper, there were only barely 700+ pharmacists in whole malaysia. How's that enough? KL might be enough but other places esp those ulu ones definitely no.

maybe brunei one also dun have..and dun need do gov service..and 10 times the pay?

Well,I seriously believe what you did in foundation is enough for u to survive the undergrad..
Otherwise Nott won't be making up the foundation program isn't it?
Well,I guess..Probably Pharmacy ones is not so good yet..
Maybe after few years improvement will be more tailor made..lol..

the main purpose of foundation IMO is to tie the students to that particular uni, so that the student won't run away anymore as other unis might not accept that uni's foundation.

not to say its useless, but its not enough. anyway, with sheer dedication and hard work during your degree you still can succeed.

taylor because taylor is clean? HAHA

yesh, brunei has less han 20 pharmacist . my aunt works there =)

yesh! its paid in SGD! and free car to use, free petrol ( petrol too cheap), my old house is in brunei, safe, peaceful. LOL
only thing bad about brunei is its boring. LOL
even goverment service the pay is very high. fresh grad around 3k SGD,

note, (BD ( brunei dollar ) has the same currency as SGD ) =D

ucsi very dirty?

well..if u can stand working in brunei for the next 30 years without entertainment i dun see why not...there's always a 7 star hotel to look forward too..XD..

but if u come malaysia work then u need start from housemen all over again.

so all in all, money is the main motivating factor for u to do pharmacy?
