Just Saying: Clean As You Go

Whenever I do things I always consider, how can do it conveniently. It's annoying to do the tasks and yet there will be mess left behind. Obviously, it sounds more tasks to do.

Just like when you bake in your own kitchen and you choose to left trays and moulds unclean. Or when you shave and you didn't use the shaving stand for your shaving brush. 

At work, preparing paper tablets in the pharmacy will be a lot easier when all your tools are kept clean after every use. Imagine if your mortar and pestle are kept with residue of the previous medicines you prepared. Not only it's gross but also it will contaminate the next thing you will prepare. 

Keeping a tidy and neat pharmacy allows us to do our jobs more conveniently and efficiently. The risks of dispensing wrong drugs will be eliminated and every nice things will follow. 

Happy weekend.

Pharmacy Themed Wedding

It's nearly seven years since I got married. It was a simple civil ceremony surrounded by people we love. But husband and I are so hoping that we could have a church wedding in the future. The thought of planning a very special day is so overwhelming and exciting. If we agreed, the theme of our wedding will be our profession. So it will be a pharmacist and software engineer bonding. 

So many brilliant ideas are floating inside my head right now. I couldn't wait for every thoughts to happen. Like our invitation will be like a prescription type and souvenirs will be mixed pharmacy and IT stuffs. 

When it comes to our wedding band, using our old ones are okay. But I'm also thinking of 

platinum wedding rings.

Okay, this is all for the future. For now, we probably need to save for it and hope that God will allow it to happen.
