圣诞节快乐。。。

5 more sleeps to xmas day and 6 more sleeps to melbourne... the days are dragging... work has been alright last week, 'painful' pts are now gone, and I have been roped in to help out in the inpt rehab ward next week... rehab xmas dinner at panarotti's was good actually, the pizzas and pastas were not bad, but no dessert though... got to sit near to sharon wong, jo, yan and her husband Dr Lee, who is one of the cardiologists who is also from singapore, and he turned out to be really nice and friendly... they must be really wealthy... it will be interesting to see if he would say hello if we do see each other at work... dept xmas lunch was also not bad, alot of desserts, and I got a recipe book and a stationary set from my secret santa... Laura and Kara also came to visit... so Andrew's definitely going in Jan 2015, and we have another new student educator starting in early Jan 2015 as well... still no word as to what is happening with Nat's position though...

other than that, the amazing race final was yesterday, and running man still ongoing, and I am still reading my online books, nothing new or exciting unfortunately...

the siege ended tuesday last week, and 2 people died as a result, really sad... wonder how the cafe is ever going to continue their business and whether the staff will even be able to go back to work, or even whether people will dare to visit that cafe after this happened... 

ToO CLoSE to HOme...

Unbelievable... sydney is actually in the midst of a terror attack, and of course, they decided to hold hostages at the lindt cafe at martin place... the terror attack has finally arrived in Australia, after hearing all about these attacks in the US, in Syria, and in London, and it's now finally got close to home... when I first heard about it this am on the wards, my initial thought was no way, just someone spreading rumours that's all, but of course, it is all real, and it's still happening now... so scary... anyone could be there really... hopefully everything will be resolved peacefully... 

went to the OT dept xmas dinner at bondi pizza last Friday, the food was not bad, the dessert was the best and the highlight of the meal actually... I actually was not as bored as I thought I would be... had a good time chatting with Liz, Karen, Jamila, El, Alex and Sarah, Elisha and Dasha... 

hopefully the rehab dept xmas dinner will be enjoyable too... 

work-wise, current batch of patients are a pain in the ass actually... 

papa, mum and nainai have confirmed visiting between 8-23 Feb 2015...

MuGGy...

sooo... dunno why, but december for me seems to be a month of misfortunes... 2nd dec... must have hit the off button as opposed to the snooze button and ended up oversleeping and the only reason why I did wake up was becos I needed to pee urgently, so I turned over, looked for my phone and when I saw the time, the first thing I thought was this must be wrong, is it daylight savings?? but then after my brain finally woke up, my eyes popped wide open, and was like HOLY SHIT, it's 0721, and I just woke up!!! needless to say, woke up pongie, dashed around to get ready and was out of the door in 10mins... got to work at 0915 :( had to make up the hours on 2 days this week... 

AND... on wed, on the way to work, my tummy suddenly had the feeling of diarrhoea, and the first thing I thought was no freaking way, deja vu, this cannot be happening to me again, and around exactly the same sort of time of the year and maybe even day... luckily I was nearing dural, so decided to swing into hungry jacks, and of course, there has to be slowpokes on the road on that day, I was getting so desperate to release that when I was finally in the toilet, I was literally shaking... and I ended up having to go twice... and becos I did not want to be late again, in the first time since 4years at Nepean, I took the toll way on M7 and got to work on time... 

like seriously, I dunno what is it with december, for other people, its looking forward to xmas and presents, but for me all I can ever think of now for 2 consecutive years will be it's a SHITTY time of the year haha :(

anyway, work-wise, nothing very exciting, except we currently have a very troublesome pt and family, and I have no idea what we are going to do with her... otherwise, volunteered to supervise some 1st year students, and also volunteered to help out at rehab over the xmas new year break... and it was Liz's last day today, and from the bits and pieces I overheard, Andrew and Owen may also be resigning soon...
