FLies ArE BacK... YuCK...

papa and co come and went... on the whole, they were pleasant enough, and the fact that I was working on most days and they usually come home late meant that I do not have interact with them that much, but it was definitely awkward sleeping with someone you don't know... went for dinner on the day they arrived at Ribs and Rumps, and then went for a day trip to Hunter Valley... good weather, had some wine, cheese, and had Takeru for dinner... otherwise, nothing very exciting... the only thing that annoyed me was that there were stuff everywhere and the whole house looked really messy... anyway, after they left, papa and I went to Auburn Home Makers centre thinking to buy the TV unit, but ended up buying 2 rugs for the bedroom... 

work-wise... Nat finally started on 2 days and Yin does the other 3 days... it was actually good in the fact that bcos Nat is very experienced, she kind of guides both Yin and I as to what we should be doing with pts... and Rachel will be rotating into MRT from next week... not that I don't want her to come back, but I would prefer that Yin stays in MRT... and my student is finishing up this week, the good thing about student supervision is that yes, you get to explain things aloud and forces you to think abt things and your clinical reasoning, but on the other hand, it's quite limiting in the amt of freedom I have in doing things and can be quite stifling at times... cos things take twice the time to do... and... of course, had a MET call with a patient in the toilet, which was not as bad as our rehab reg happened to be in the room at the time, so it was not that nerve-wrecking, and then of course, decided to take the same pt to the kitchen today, and of course, the same thing happened, and had to hit the MET call button, everyone came rushing over into the tiny kitchen, and I felt quite useless standing there in the corner, not able to get out at the time... this time was more nerve-wrecking cos it was only the patient and the husband there at the time... and there were ALOT of people eventually... now in addition to making me even more wary of getting this patient up, I am probably going to be wary of using the kitchen again... oh and abit of gossip, which truly I am still in shock over... Yin actually likes my student, and she is genuinely upset that he is attached already... and I am there trying my best to console her, whilst I am like... he is way too young, and he is not that great, well to me anyway, but hey, I am judging him from a supervisory perspective... I still am not quite over you know who, time is ticking, and when Jan comes, it is truly time to say goodbye...

job-seeking wise... TACP... did not get the position, the feedback was honest and brutal in fact, I was embarrassed during the feedback cos I actually said that I thought I did better this time... Westmead Private... did not think I did well during the interview, and I was not too impressed with the interview panel... and for some reason, I actually was offered the position, BUT at a lower pay and no salary packaging benefits and I will lose all my leave... so I am most likely going to turn this one down, which hopefully will not come back and bite me on the ass... which brings me to the fact that I am putting all my eggs in one basket, namely Hornsby rehab... and if I don't get the job there, then that's it, I am for sure stuck at Nepean for much much longer... not that I don't like MRT, out of all the other positions on offer, I would still prefer MRT...

闪电打雷。。。

after pongie left on thurs, ate and slept on my own on thurs, and then spent the night over at prisy's, watched resident evil and wanted to watch another movie but the computer was playing up, so ended up watching this new korean drama called nine plus boys, was not bad so decided to download the show and watch...

spent sat with yin, house-hunting, and then went to parramatta westfield for lunch and shopped alittle... spent sun at home, nothing very exciting, read my books, and yin came over at night... went to work together on monday, had to actually hurry home to shower, cook and clean up cos our water was turned off for some repairs that night, so that was interesting... came home and cooked rice, veg and minced pork, watched transformers 2... played cluedo... went to work together on tues, and decided to have dinner at the szechuan place at eastwood... decided that the food there was only good fresh, definitely not nice to eat the next day... yin introduced me to eharmony and we spent most of the night browsing through eharmony and rsvp websites... it was good to get to know yin better, and gossip about work in general...

managed to secure an interview at Westmead TACP tomorrow, so took the half day off, hopefully I will get the job, getting tired of looking for jobs, applying for jobs and the feeling of not being able to focus 100% at work due to this... work-wise, our TA formally withdrew her application, and Frances will be extending her secondment to who knows when... Kara came to visit that day, had chicken schnitzel together, and she also brought along her baby, it was good to see her actually... 

weather-wise, it had been pretty hot up until the last 2 days, we had a sudden thunderstorm last night, and the temp has dropped considerably, and there was snow up at Blue MOuntains...

I CAn Feel THe drEAded SummEr iS NEAr...

nothing very much happening in the month of september really... did not get the royal rehab job, but now there's a few job openings coming up, so I have applied for the one at Westmead private, Westmead TACP and now there's also a rehab job at Hornsby Hospital which is probably my first preference followed by TACP. Cross my fingers and toes...

no new shows recently, have been reading my online books, went to watch this movie called Guardians of the Galaxy, and it was so boring, despite the good reviews... our external hard drive finally died on us recently, pongie was lucky to have backed up all her stuff as well as the korean shows, but all my other asian shows have now forever disappeared :(

work wise... it's been really busy recently, now that I also have a student for 7 weeks, and our caseload has really shot up, and there is even a waiting list for MRT at this stage... found out that Kevin will be resigning early next year, and Nat will be coming back to MRT for 2 days of her maternity leave and then the rotating PT will cover the other 3 days... so it will be interesting to see what happens... Sarah resigned as well.. and our new AHA is starting next week, so things are definitely changing around... 

went to prisy's birthday celebration that day... went for dinner at randwick at an indonesian restaurant... not nice, and then went for dessert, it was like, indonesian style mang zang kueh... again not nice... and then went to play this room escape game, it was really frustrating for like the first 30mins, and then once we finally got what we were supposed to do, it was quite interesting...so nothing much happening, pongie is confirmed going back home for 3 weeks, and papa's coming to hang out with me for 2 weeks, and then auntie and co are heading to NY for 4 weeks... 

and we have been some stupid neighbour smoking some really smelly cigarette and it's polluting the corridor, and into our unit, and the smell has gone onto the bed, pillow etc, and our clothing... SO ANNOYING, tried to ask the management if they could help in some way but they blamed the smell back to our drains... WHAT NONSENSE!!! so now we had to open the room window, on the fan, move the clothing hangar to the other room, and I am sleeping with pongie in the other room now... AGAIN, SO ANNOYING!
