ALmoST TO EOFY...

sooo, had my follow up gynae appt on thurday last week, finally the decision has been made for me to undergo surgery to remove the cyst that has been festering in there for the last few years... and surgery date has been confirmed to be on 28 aug... which coincides with mum and papa's visit... I am more worried abt the 'after' effects of the surgery, no driving for a week, get to have 2 weeks off work, but the worse thing is I have to have an IDC inserted... OMG!!! :( and then my BP is up again, so the GP wants me to restart the damn pills... 

otherwise, still following the highlights of the world cup faithfully everyday, spain, england, australia (of course!), are out, the only team which has won every match during the group phase atm is holland, and pongie and I have decided to stay overnight at travelodge north ryde on the sunday so we can stay up to watch the match, but pongie could only take the half day... no new nice dramas, so reading my online books still... 

workwise, nothing very exciting, applied for this senior rehab position at ryde hospital, yet to hear back, I am half hoping to get the job, really want to leave nepean and try something different and closer to home, but on the other hand, I dunno if I am up to this position in a new environment as well... oh well, we'll see what happens... fairly busy at work, yin's on her 4 week europe trip so kirti is covering on some days only... which is ok for me... oh and I saw Janelle from Restart again this week, I think we are quite 有缘 actually, cos since I have been working at Nepean for the past 3.5 years, I have bumped into her 3 times already... anyway, she told me that Restart no longer existed, apparently it was bought over by Recovre, and so she is now working for them at Parramatta...

weather-wise, it has been pretty chilly and windy recently...

老友拜仿。。。

soooo, there continues to be a few shocked world cup matches recently, german beat portugal 4-0, and australia is playing holland tomorrow am, I bet 7-0, guess which team is 0 haha... anyway, my dilemma now is that on finals day, I have nowhere near by to watch the match live, so thinking of staying overnight somewhere, and the nearest and cheapest is at macquarie, or just watch it at the cinemas... but pongie can only take a half day off that day... alamak, which means that there is no point in us staying overnight anyway... 

finally finished watching the angel eyes, ok, I have to say this again, Lee Sang Yoon is so good-looking, happy ending of course, but I wished that they showed them actually getting married, oh well, at least some parts of the finale were cute... 

sooo, had monday and tuesday off this week, met up with fran and her friends at rockdale in the morning for lebanese bread... drove to stanwell lookout, the weather was so good that day, windy but sunny and nice... then headed to kiama, the blowhole and waves that day was truly the best I have ever seen in all the times I was there... took alot of pictures and videos... had dominos pizza for lunch... spent quite awhile there, and then we drive up to saddleback mountain lookout point, on the way down, suddenly smelt burning tyres smell, and I started panicking a little... but we checked everything, and hyungie seemed fine, so it was concluded that maybe it was burning shit smell... after that, drove to campbelltown for ribs and rumps... the whole place was pretty quiet though... it was freezing cold that night though... after that, one of fran's friends drove back to bondi, it was a looong drive back... did a little tour of their apartment, it was not too bad, but location wise, urggh... 

tuesday... fran caught a train to our place, cooked her korean noodles, chatted for awhile before we headed to takeru for lunch, and she started her shopping spree at target... and then drove to birkenhead point for more shopping, I did not buy anything, simply becos there was either no sizes for me or too expensive... spent quite awhile there... after that, went back to bondi and waited for the rest to return, and we decided to takeaway ogalo's for dinner... that's pretty much it for meeting up with fran, they are heading to the hunter valley on thurs, and staying overnight, before driving to blue mountains on friday, and staying overnight, and then heading straight to the airport... was quite upset when jo and huimin decided not to visit sydney and did not even bother telling me... I found out through fran... 

back to work for one day, and then I have the gynae and GP appt on thurs... 

AnGeL EYes...

world cup fever has arrived, finally!!! sad thing is of course, not able to watch the games live, due to the stupid time difference and no TV, but its ok, and I just found out that, coincidentally, I have scheduled my ADO on the world cup finals day, hahaha!!! well planned andrea :) shocked that holland beat spain, defending world cup champions 5-1 today, but not surprised at all that australia lost... holland definitely has a very high chance of winning the cup this year if they continue to play at this level... but watch out for germany I would say... stay tuned...

finally watching my angel eyes drama, melodramatic for sure, but I thought it was pretty good acting by the 2 main leads, I think I am slightly obsessed by Lee Sang Yoon now... he is so good looking, especially with his dimpled smile... 2 more episodes to go this weekend... 

and fran finally arrived today, got a text msg from her, decided not to have dinner today, mainly becos I thought it was raining, and also I feel lazy, but definitely going on a roadtrip to Kiama with them on monday, and maybe hang out with them on tuesday as well... 

went to try this fried chicken place at eastwood today, not bad, I especially liked the fact that it is boneless, and there is also a new store opened that sells pre-packed korean side dishes...

OLe OLe oLe...

work-wise, still busy, reducing my caseload in rehab, becos they wanted me to help out in acute, however, I have not been able to manage the MRT caseload and we are still getting new referrals here and there, hence not been able to help acute at all... Yin seems ok, worked with her twice last week becos Kara was off sick... one of the girls has gone on maternity leave, and apparently a locum replacing her will be starting next friday... and found out that Laura's water broke, hence she will remain in hospital for the next 3 months until the birth of her baby... 

otherwise, last sat, pongie's birthday, went to have korean buffet at lidcombe, we were both stuffed after, and on sun, went to macquarie to watch Xmen, which I personally thought it was excellent, I will rate it 10/10... the special effects and the plot were great... Hyungie's giving me some trouble recently, found out that Kia at Waitara has ceased trading, which means that I can no longer access free carwash or vacuum after dec 2014... and the closest dealerships were either castle hill or parramatta... pain in the ass... still reading my online books, and have been downloading the angel eyes, heard that it's now really melodramatic, my next target drama will be seunggi's drama called you're surrounded... Anna rang last week and informed me that everyone at ADHC was told to find another job as the organisation is ceasing sooner than anticipated, hence she was asking information about working in the hospital... but I was thinking to myself, this means that there will be more competition in the jobseeking market crap!

after 3.5 years, finally went back to lewisham on the way to the petersham portugese chicken place today to eat... the re-start consulting sign is still there, which means that the company is still in existent, and everything looked the same from the outside... the portugese chicken burger and chips were better than nandos I thought, but I dunno that I will drive approx 45mins to and from just to eat that...

weather wise, it is gradually getting colder actually, and had rained for abit last few days as well... looking forward to my world cup next week!
