survived my first week of rotation into aged care... it was not really busy so it was not too bad, and the thing I like about aged care is that the team actually cares about what you say and recommend and if I feel that the pt still has some OT issues, and not safe for discharge, the team is happy for me to do what I have to do prior to discharge... unlike in acute, they don' t care... the not so good thing, ?fast paced and I am still trying to get used to it... I was initially worried about going to all these different case conferences, but now I do see the benefits of going to them every day... so aged care is not too bad at this stage... do I miss mobile rehab??? yes and no...
have been soo hooked onto this korean drama called My girlfriend is a gumiho... prisy has been pestering me to watch for ages now and I was so reluctant bcos I did not like any of the main leads... and then finally decided to watch last week, and oh man, I am sooo sucked into the show and I am so in denial still, but I think I am starting to like lee seung gi... ahhhhh... I started looking up strong heart and 1 night 2 days, becos of him... the whole of last week, the only thing on my mind was the show... it's really cute and funny... I really like the main leads... they are so cute together...
start of a 4 day weekend... nothing planned so far, should probably make good use of this rare break, hopefully it does not rain...

SEpt 11...
last saturday's much anticipated meat and wine co lunch turned out to be not that great, we were told that there was no lunch special on the weekends when we arrived, hence we had to order from the main menue, and there I was looking forward to having my chicken parmigiana... ended up eating this grilled chicken burger... but I did have my lindt iced chocolate, which does make up for some parts and also went karaoke...
nothing much happening this past week... it's my day off again tomorrow, but not doing anything special... 2 more weeks before rotation... found out who the new MRT PT was, and it was unexpected, the new PT is nice but have never really worked with her before, so we'll see how the next 2 weeks go...
have been hooked on korean dramas nowadays... the latest one being city hunter, I have to say, the plot is pretty good and the cast is great as well... and needless to say, lee min ho is hot in the show... he wasn't that good looking in personal taste, but in city hunter, he's really cool... and this morning, becos I was dropping pong off to school, I turned on the tv whilst having breakfast, and had a nice surprise... sbs has this new program called popasia tv... 2 hours nonstop asian music videos and mostly Kpop music... we were all so excited and screaming like we have never seen these mv before like when Genie (SNSD), Ugly (2NE1) came on tv... now there's something to look forward to on tv every sunday morning...
went to lunch with the family yesterday at chatswood, it was sooo crowded, not that it's not usually that crowded... but found out that there was a fair going on... it was really exciting... all the food stores were the more exciting ones... had lunch at this shanghainese place and then went to eat again at that fair... bought this potato chips on a stick thing, which was really nice, nutella wrap... which was good... the taiwanese pancake was disappointing... and there were performances going on as well... and Kpop is definitely becoming bigger, as there was this group of 2 asian girls, dancing to Kpop music...
still not getting good tickets for the Kpop concert... and the silver seats are so much more expensive... will continue to check, but I really want to go... can't decide if we should go even if the seats are crap...

CAKeD oUt...
an update on my past birthday week... last saturday, met up with the uni girlies for lunch at takeru at chatswood... it was good to see them again, haven't seen some of them for quite awhile, although not all could make it... and in the evening... had the MRT dinner at the korean hotpot place in eastwood... I enjoyed myself, mainly cos most of them had not had korean food before, and it was their first taste, and from what I heard, most of them liked it, except for Kara, and I finally found someone who is even more picky than me when it comes to food... after dinner, we proceeded to go to this korean bakery across the road... and Reem bought me another cake... I had a really enjoyable time, and it was good to hang out with the team outside of work...
sunday... pong and I drove up to blue mountains, stopped over at Leura first, on recommendations from work people, I really enjoyed the small town, and the cute little shops... and the french vanilla cake which I like is found there as well... so I bought one for work and home... after Leura, we drove to the chocolate cafe at Katoomba, and had the apparently famous real hot chocolate drink... it was yummy, similar to what Max Brenner has... and I ate cake again, I ate till I was so sick of cakes... but I just could not resist buying the french vanilla cake... seeing as how I came all the way to the Blue Mountains... after that, we went to the 3 sisters, and as usual, it was quite crowded, being a sunday... took some pictures and then drove to our accomodation place... I have to say, it was not as nice as on the website... the room was not that nice as well, and there was no aircon... being singaporeans we are of course, used to having aircons... and the room was stuffy when we first went in... but the interior of the hotel was nice... renaissance style... so we toured the hotel and the town of Katoomba... nothing exciting, Leura was much better... and what a small little world we live in... pong and I were walking out of the hotel in search for food and in comes Ren and Kathy PT... I was like what the hell??!! seriously, of all the times and places... so had a little chat and we went our separate ways... still have yet to get over this... drove back on monday, did alittle shopping at castle towers on the way home...
tuesday... attended the pressure care course at ILS, it was really interesting and informative, and for $22, the food was good... I was not looking forward to eating there, and was thinking of eating something else, ended up eating the asian noodles... and saw uni people at the course, and Karen and Tina... small world really... Karen and I ended up going to Macquarie centre for a drink and chatted whilst waiting for pong...
so this week was a short week for me really... but it felt long as usual... and found out that Kate has agreed to rotate to cancercare... and Mel is the MRT OT for the time being until they have recruited a full time OT... and they have decided to delay our rotation day for a week, which means that I am now rotating on 26 Sept 2011... Sharon is not real pleased about this new development but there's nothing I could do... Karen just told me to stay out of it... it's not pleasant, as I am still wanting to maintain good relations with them and leave a good impression... so 3 weeks more before rotation... a little upset becos most of the team will not be around when I rotate... had more cake again today, work people organised morning tea for Andrew who has returned to work after 3 months of sick leave, and Kate baked mud cake which was very delicious I have to say... so much more nicer than my flourless choc cake... damn...
tomorrow going out for lunch at Meat and Wine Co, followed by dessert at Lindt's and then karaoke... thoroughly spoilt for my birthday this year...
