The awkward moment when you feel like reality just hit.

It wasn't long since I finished my studies. Here I am, an official pharmacist at last after so many years of intensive training and learning.

All my life,any forms I filled in, I had been writing "Student" in the occupation column. However, I am not a student any more. My very first form that I filled in that required information about my occupation was a border pass when I was about to enter Thailand, to have a very short trip to Padang Besar before I start work. I remembered my hand was going to write "Student" again. Somehow my brain reminded me to write "Pharmacist" instead. That awkward moment for a second. It felt like reality just hit. I am now in the workforce, no longer a student.

Life as a pharmacist was fine so far. Being banished appointed to a small town like Kangar in the northern tip of the peninsula, at first it was a shock. Come to think of it, the worry of lack of training and experience in exchange of a hectic, stressful life; lack of entertainment in exchange of traffic jams. It wasn't too bad eh?
