谢谢您， 李光耀先生。。。

23 March 2015... Mr Lee Kuan Yew passed away, and Singapore is in a week of mourning... I acknowledge that he has done alot to help build a strong foundation for the country and ensure that Singaporeans have a good education, housing, clean water and live in a 'safe' environment... a pity that he was not able to last until the 50th birthday this year in August... 

Other than that, I did enrol in the Master of Clinical Rehabilitation but was given the Neurological option instead, thought this might be a sign, so I decided to stick with it... took a while to plan my timetable, and yet to formally enrol cos I am still hesitant if I can really do this... and I found out that there is no funding scheme which I could access, which means that I would have to pay for everything myself... pretty much the same situation as when I did the undergrad studies... did not get the job at Hunters Hill, but after attending the interview, I decided that the job is not for me... so looks like I am going to be stuck at Nepean for a while longer... although, Karen mentioned that there may be hope for TACP rotation to be included in our program, but still in negotiation process, so it will be interesting to see what happens... also, Frances finally returned to the team... and I think Frances, Nat and myself are frustrated as to what is actually happening to the service... nobody seems to know for sure if the service is still able to run after the next financial year... 

other than that, nothing much happening, still counting down to our Europe holidays, I just hope that our trip will be a smooth one, what with all the terrorist attacks, plane crashes etc...

and so my family came and went... spent 2 weeks over chinese new year with them, and it was really good that Michelle could join us as well... drove to banksia for our usual lebanese zatta bread detour, then to temple, and then decided to have a picnic at bald hill lookout rather than driving further to Kiama... and then after that we went to try chef's gallery at macquarie, it was packed, had to wait a really long time, but I actually liked the food, despite it being quite expensive... also went to check out this lunar festival thing happening at The Star... the food was quite expensive though, and then after that, went to check out the terracotta warriors light up, it was really crowded and my camera can't really take good pictures at night anyway... and on chinese new year day, went over to auntie's for lo hei and dinner... other than that, nothing very exciting happened... got to eat curry puffs, pandan cake, and famous amos cookies... oh and spent quite alot of time researching on our Europe trip, and realised how expensive the trip is going to be...  so we are definitely NOT going for my football match :(

since they left, been going back to my online books again of course, and applied for a 4 days/week rehab job at Hunters Hill private, so we'll see what happens... applied for 2 courses this month, and maybe another one in may... and... finally decided to do a masters degree in clinical rehabilitation this year... the only thing is having the money to pay for the course... trying to apply for funding through work and maybe through this government HECS program... anyway, still awaiting for confirmation about whether I am eligible... and if I am, then the course will commence in July... I hope I am ready for this... hmmm, I am sure I will regret it sometime, when I have to do uni stuff and work as well... I just hope that I made the right decision...

other than that, really looking forward to our trip in April, that's all I am looking forward to at this stage... not even planning what's happening after April...
