DRaMa AddiCTiOn...

had my long weekend... drove up to hunter valley with pong, visited some wineries, bought cheese and stayed over at Harrigan's Irish pub for a night... the accomodation was ok, it looked nicer in the pictures... visited the spa retreat at crowne plaza... it was really nice and relaxing... but expensive... it was an indulgence really...

work has been quite a drag lately... could it be becos now that our new TA has started, I am able to free up some time, or is it becos I am not thinking and doing enough for my patients... dunno...

got an sms from Bernadette suddenly out of the blue about two weeks ago... after not hearing from her for the last 6 months... I was really surprised... glad that she is ok, but also wondered the reason behind the sudden lost of contact... meeting up with her for lunch on sat so will know why then...

still addicted to watching my korean dramas... first up is Sungkyunkwan scandal... I really liked the show... it's funny, the lead actress is really cute and I liked the character "Geol-oh"... :) I would rate the show 8/10... what I did not like was the main actor, he is so boring... and the conversations between the characters are sooo slow... next drama was 49 days... prisy was telling me previously how good it was and I think that got my expectations up... the show was really sad, but I thought the show on the whole was ok... probably 6/10... spoiler alert! the character of the "ghost" was quite annoying initially but she became less annoying later in the show and I really liked the interactions between her and the character whom she possess the body of... it was a sad ending... which you could already probably tell from the title of the show...

bought a new camera... a Samsung one... much better zoom as compared to the old one... only thing I found was it is quite slow in processing... but pretty good at this stage... really need to start spending less... not saving much at all recently...

冬天终于降临。。。

finally a long weekend again... this will be the last one before the next one in october... met up with Alana at castle towers today for lunch... it was good to see her again, I think the last time we met up was last year... and she's pregnant! happy for her...

talking about pregnant... just saw a post on huimin's facebook album saying that some of our crescent classmates are pregnant??!! and there was even one who is a shocker... although it's been 10 years since I last saw her, but she definitely is not one whom I would have thought would become a mum... man, should I be panicking now?? people my age are either getting married or having kids and what am I doing??!! watching my dramas... I am self-declaring myself as a drama addict... anyway... I still believe in "shun qi zi ran"...

finished watching 'slave hunter'... I knew it was a sad ending... the show was not great, there was too much talking but I have to say, there were some nice and funny parts as well... one of those shows which is good when you watch it for the first time but not a show which I will repeat watching... unlike 'boys over flowers'... I am so very saddd... for some reason, I really like the show and I think I have watched it more than 10 times...

I also watched 'personal taste'... in terms of plot, not good... and it was getting draggy towards the end... there were some sweet scenes, but not realistic...

we were planning a roadtrip to hunter valley this long weekend, but it's raining pretty much the whole weekend... sian... looking like it is going to be a stay at home long weekend for me...

work wise... we have finally got our therapy assistant... and she's really good... very proactive... work has been very busy though...

HALfwAy thrOuGh the YEaR...

nothing very much happening nowadays... work is still tiring... the weather is still cold...

finally it is my ADO tomorrow... no plans as yet... probably going to go eat the buffet at Seven Hills RSL... just resting for the day I guess...

met up with Nat 2 weeks ago... at Chatswood... it was good to catch up with her, it has been awhile... just had lunch and chatted... met up with Yochi, Anna and Jo yesterday in the city... had lunch and saw Anna's baby... she still looked the same, before and after giving birth...

watched the uefa champions league this morning... woke up at 5am to catch the match... although I used to support Man Utd, but Barcelona is definitely the better team... and they deserve to win... it was a good match... and it was also good to hear that despite the buildup and rivalry, both teams were still gracious after the match and spoke highly of each other before the match...

no new dramas atm... still have a pile of relatively old korean shows to get through, but simply not in the right mood... and I heard that the new rainie yang's drama is good... saw some bits and thought this is really similar to fated to love you... the main guy lead also dressed like xiaotian in the show... but I am definitely not going to fall into the trap of chasing a drama which has yet to end... it is extremely painful...

looking forward to the long weekend in June, no plans yet though... and to my next ADO in June... we are heading to the hunter valley for a relaxing long weekend... hopefully it would be good...

now that I am not working on the weekends... I probably should be working harder on looking for a place... but have not done that so far... procrastinating... this is too hard...

SkiPPed aUtuMn and WeNT STraiGht into WiNter...

nainai went back to singapore yesterday... I am going to miss her... would like for her to stay here but it's getting too cold...

talking about the weather... it's only May and it's already freezing cold... it's looking like winter will be bitter cold... just like our past summer... it was worse than stinking hot...

work is as usual physically and mentally tiring... our team is finally settling in... although we are still recruiting but at least we have most of the team on board... still trying to establish good relationships at work...

starting to do some research on our potential Korea trip next year... still dunno which month yet at this stage... but just thought instead of joining a tour group, we might be able to do free and easy... recommendations or advice anyone???

went to the movies to watch source code today... it was actually good... it was more intellectually stimulating than thriller... I quite enjoy the movie... there are some good movies coming out soon... X men first class, transformers 3, harry potter...

EAstEr TRip...

I am back from my Cairns trip... hmm... overall, I am going to rate the trip 6/10...

day 1: Sunday 24/4/11- 1.5 hour trip one way out to the outer barrier reef... the waters were quite choppy and it rained during our ferry ride out to the reef, making the boat really rocky... and being me, even after taking travel sickness pills and buying the travel calm wrist bands, I still felt like throwing up... whilst we were almost out at the reef, I was told that I could not scuba dive as I had childhood asthma, prisy fell and cut her leg needing stitches, so in the end, both prisy and I did not scube dive, only pong did it, and I ended up snorkelling... which I sucked at as well cos I simply could not grasp the breathing technique of having to breathe through the mouth rather than the nose... which meant that I drank lots of seawater, did not really see any fishes, the water was really murky due to the rain... the trip back was really rocky as well... I felt sick pretty much the whole day... after returning back to cairns, we headed straight to the medical centre... prisy was told by the doctor that she is not to touch water or participate in any contact sports for the next week... she was not happy to say the least...

day 2: a day trip to Kuranda village, went to the village via cable car and returned via train... nothing really much to see in the village though... the food was crap as well... the highlight of the day was probably seeing the barron falls...

day 3: this day was the highlight of our trip... had to wake up at 3am though... first activity was hot air ballooning... was taken up the mountain and got to catch the firing up of the hot air balloons... it was truly amazing... a tip for any one who is thinking of doing hot air ballooning... if you are doing a 30mins trip... choose the second trip... we got to enjoy the whole 30mins of the trip and did not have to worry about making sure that the balloon lands on an appropriate spot... the only thing was we did not manage to catch the sun rising... but on the whole, I really enjoyed hot air ballooning, I thought it would be scary but it was really good...

following hot air ballooning, we had breakfast discount vouchers and one of them were discount for breakfast at the Sebel, 5 star hotel... we were like, after the last 2 days of crap food, we are so going for it... when we arrived at the hotel at 0930, we were told that the buffet would end at 1000, so we pretty much have 30mins to stuff ourselves at the buffet... which was exactly what we did that morning... we did not even want to stop eating to take pictures or talk... we just kept eating... the food was really good... and they actually had real honeycomb... which apparently is very expensive... after breakfast, we were so stuffed, walked back to the apartment and had a nap...

in the afternoon, pong and I headed off to white water rafting whilst prisy stayed in... when we were going around doing hotel pickups, this large group of older people boarded and we were like oh no, please not let us be on the same rafting group... thank god, younger people came up and we were in the "younger" group... there were lots of people when we arrived at the barron river... alot of asians, mainly japanese and chinese... had to hire shoes, helmet and safety vests were provided... the walk down to the river was quite scary though... it was quite rocky and the shoes are not the best ones to be walking in... however, once we were in the raft... it was really exciting and the water was not very cold... the rapids were not too bad as well, there was only one moment when I was quite scared... another tip if you do not want to fall into the water... sit at the back! we were lucky to be sitting at the back, and we still got wet but not as bad as the 4 others sitting in front... the front two people got the worst of it... another highlight was the guide allowed us to have a quick 'float' down the river and we were the only ones doing it out of th 4 other rafts... it was really good... did not see any fishes or anything weird whilst I was in the water, which was a good thing... all in all, a really good day...

day 4: we decided to go out into the reef again as prisy did not get to see the reef or any fishes at all on the first day... we chose to do the semi-sub and glass bottom boat tour... the weather was very windy and cold that day... as a result, the water was extremely choppy and the boat really rocky... the good thing was the trip to green island was 45mins, half the time required on the first day... when we got to the island... there was nothing to do whilst waiting for the semi-sub tour, it started to rain... when we were finally in the semi- sub, the water was becoming even more choppy and the semi-sub was really narrow and stuffy and rocky... the water was murky, can't really see anything underwater... I started to feel really nauseated, sweating, and sick... I had to go back up to the surface and sit on the deck and in the rain otherwise I am going to throw up... I have been told after that my lips went purple and white... it was that bad... I had to pass on the glass bottom tour... whilst I was waiting for prisy and pong to finish their tour, it started to really pour and there was not much shelter at the jetty, so I was standing at the half shelter and getting wet from the bottom down, I was freezing cold and people all started coming to the shelter to wait for the ferry... all of us were wet by the time we got onto the ferry... the trip back, needless to say, was choppy and rocky... not a good day... after the trip back, we went to the shopping centre for lunch and wait around for the airport transfer... when we finally arrived at sydney, it started to pour... again, not a good day, getting rained on twice in a day...

all in all, the trip was not as good as I had expected... cairns is not one of the cities I would be going back to anytime soon... next destination: South Korea!

满足感。。。

work has been quite tiring recently, but I am trying to be positive and think of it as a way to lose weight... today has been one of the more rewarding days since I started work in the hospital... one of my patients whom I have been seeing for ages has finally succeeded in performing slideboard transfers and is able to move around the hospital independently... after being bed bound for approx 8 months now... being able to work with him to achieve this has been really tiring but it was worth it, and it made me feel good about myself and the job...

one more week before we leave for cairns... in the process of getting some contact lenses for the trip... I honestly think we are going to have troubles with putting and taking them out... the optometrist did it for me that day and it took us awhile to actually get it in, cos I kept closing my eyes and I can actually feel my eyeballs rolling back while she is trying to keep my eyes open... I am also going to get seasick tablets and these bracelets hoping that they are going to help... I really hope my period comes soon as well otherwise, I dunno what I am going to do... cross my fingers...

met up with melissa yesterday... I honestly felt like I have not seen her for ages but I did actually saw her last when she came to visit in 2008... the down side was that she was staying in a hotel in manly and I had to travel for 2hours to get there from work... and having to drive round the block four times before getting a park... I am definitely not driving there again... it was nice to catch up with her though... practised my chinese... will probably see here again in october when she comes for her training again... this is one of the occasions when facebook is useful... :)

borders is closing down... and the only store remaining is at bondi junction... far away... where am I going to read from now on??!!

found out recently that anna is pregnant and got a msg from her this afternoon that she has given birth to a boy... man I have not seen or spoken to her since yochi's wedding which was in july 2010?? and zhenzhen is getting married this year??!! another colleague who is of the same age as me is also getting married this year... I feel so old now...

LOokiNG fORwaRd to weEkENds... FiNallY...

nothing very much happening these few weeks, except that I am exhausted every day after work... have 2 heavy patients, who require alot of physical assistance with transferring... I was covered in sweat after every session... urgghh...

this week is my first week of work free weekends... did not do very much today though... spent the day at Borders... rewatched a hongkong drama, chanced upon this chinese drama called the mystery pearl... not bad actually although it is a sad ending... I like the special effects... there is a trend nowadays with chinese dramas... they all have a similar timetravel theme...

had dinner with Amelia and Karen on Monday... it was pouring that day, really wanted to postpone the dinner, but it was too late... it was nice to catch up with them... saw Karen's new car... a toyota corolla but way nicer than mine... she has a skylight on the roof and bluetooth and usb functions... really envious... but I am still really happy with Auris... it has really helped me alot...

looking forward to the april easter break... Stupid Woolies cancelled my staff discount card, which means I can't get cheaper petrol and no 5% discount...

MArCHinG all ThE WaY...

I have got 3 announcements to make this time around... Firstly, the PT has finally started so now there's me and the PT, which I think is much better and she is nice as well... although I feel so inexperienced beside her, she is really good at what she does... really hope that I can learn more from her and really hope that we will work well together... still waiting for the clinical nurse specialist, registrar and therapy assistant to be recruited...

Secondly, we have finally confirmed our cairns trip, after weeks of headache and stress, it's been settled and now it's all about getting our stuff ready and organised when april comes... we need a new camera... I am quite excited...

Thirdly, I did not think the time would come that soon but I have finally decided to resign from woolies... the main contributing factor was my leave request for easter got rejected... I was like no way, I am going to Cairns... and the same situation is going to arise when christmas comes and I want to go home... so I am determined to quit... work-free weekends here I come...

SLowLy iMpROviNg...

it's still been quite hot these few weeks... pong and papa came... original plan was to visit the hunter valley but we did not go in the end... went out to eat alot though... which means that I am currently broke atm... other than that, nothing very exciting happened... watched tangled... highly recommend this cartoon, it is really funny and cute... mandy moore was really good in it... also watched the korean drama secret garden... I have to say that it may be that my expectations are too high, after all the good reviews, I personally found it was only ok... it was cute and funny at times, but not enough to make me really hooked on the show...

still trying to organise my easter cairns holiday, becos of the cyclone which happened in queensland and cairns, I was really hesitant to go ahead, but if I don't go now, there would not be another 5 day weekend for a while... and the fact that it is the holiday period, flights are very expensive and running out fast... headache... cross my fingers, hopefully everything will go according to plan... I am actually really excited about this package... adventure sports involved ie diving, hot air ballooning and white water rafting... workwise... nothing really much happening, except from tomorrow onwards, there will be another member in our mobile rehab team, the PT is finally starting so hopefully our service will be better... and I would be able to do more stuff and be more effective...

saw a property last saturday during the open house... we really liked it, however, after meeting the broker, we are at the same issue like the time before... we need more money... :(

兔年快乐。。。

the past 4 weeks have been crazy for me at work... resulting in me buckling under the pressure one day last week... hopefully things would be back to normal next week when one of my colleagues return... the upside is that I have indeed learnt alot over the past 4 weeks...

it has been stinking hot for the past 2 weeks, it was 40 degrees on australia day... we went to the city for karaoke so it was not that bad... but when we arrived home, it was really boiling hot at home... the room was like an oven, we had to turn on the air conditioning and I slept on the floor downstairs that day cos the bed was so hot... when is autumn coming??!!

fluffy's gone... for about 2 weeks already... saw him in the morning but when I return from work, he's gone... I still can't help but look out the windows every now and then to see if he returned, but he is well and truly gone now... :(

rewatching it started with a kiss, ariel lin really cracks me up especially in part1, her character is so stupid and prideless... she is worse in part2 and is not as funny... waiting for pong to bring new dramas back... had my ado yesterday, one day a month does not seem that much, but I find myself really looking forward to my day off every month...

still in the process of organising for the great barrier reef trip, it's taking awhile to organise and the more I think about it, the more I am concerned about the issue of being seasick... and most probably having to wear contacts...

michelle's gone to new york to work already... it's snowing over there, as opposed to stinking hot here...

no chinese new year for me this year... miss out on the hong baos this year... don't have enough leave to go home... so will be stuck here for now... well... Happy Chinese New Year then!

FLuffY...

the first post for 2011...

hmm... did nothing much over the new year holiday period... mainly watching the hongkong show... in my opinion, I would rate it 6/10... mainly becos it was more of a comedy rather than anything else... not too bad actually...

our relative finally want back to perth after 2 weeks here... after one week, I really cannot stand her... the way she kept repeating how good the things she did were... seriously... by the second week, my strategy was to limit the amount of contact I had with her...

work wise... running off my feet since they decided that I should cover for one of my rehab senior who is on leave... mentally and physically exhausted mostly every day of the week... maybe I would lose some weight now... learning alot, but really tired... had my performance review yesterday... it was alright... just to keep learning and showing improvements over the next few months... had my first home visit this morning... it was really tiring... and after coming back from the visit... spent alot of time organising stuff... took the whole day just doing stuff for this one patient... another one tomorrow... another one next week...

I have decided to take up the opportunity over the Easter 5 day weekend to go to the great barrier reef... otherwise there will not be another better time to go... hopefully everything goes well with the planning and I will be able to go... looking forward to this holiday!

following from the excitement of finding out about the santa bubble, another Secret Santa gave me one that day... and is still growing bigger by the day... not that it is really of use... just for "bai mei" purpose...

also... since last Tuesday... we had a new guest appear in our backyard... a small bunny... he is really cute... he really looks like an Easter bunny... I have named it Fluffy!!! we have decided not to block off the exits... so he can come and go as he please... but I think he has decided to stay as he kept going out the backyard and returning... he is too cute...

2011, HErE wE cOMe...

christmas eve at work was such a drag... everyone was already in holiday mode and no one really wanted to do anything that day... but the good thing was I was able to leave work a little earlier that day...

christmas day... went to eat zattar at banksia... it was yummy as usual, was really craving it actually, and it was good although it was so hot that day... stayed home for the rest of the afternoon, and auntie finally came...everyone's question was what were we going to do with her for the next 2 weeks??

boxing day... the good thing was I did not have to work both days... was raining in the morning and became really hot in the afternoon... spent most part of the day at my cousin's cousin's house... nothing really exciting except we were playing kinect with the kids... my auntie brought over the hongkong series can't buy me love... which I had been wanting to watch... still halfway through the show... it's funny mostly, but there's way too much talking, and that's really fast talking... and it's not your typical dramatic hongkong series... I will have to rate it after I finish watching...

Monday... off work... went to the city with auntie... wanted to check out the new opened westfield... everything in there were branded stuff... so needless to say, we did not spend much time in there... got to eat my spicy beef and went karaoke with prisy and later auntie joined us... went to the movies that evening to watch tron legacy... my opinion is... don't bother watching if you are watching it for a good plot cos there's really none... the only thing that it had going for it was the special effects which only lasted for the first hour... and it was all talking after that...

tuesday... off work too... yippee... all of us drove down to stanwell tops lookout (again!), to the temple (Again!) and to kiama blowhole point... the weather was really good actually... and there were so many people at the lookout... and this was the first time after being there so many times that I actually saw people paragliding and hang-gliding, which would probably explain the crowd... there was actually alot of people everywhere we went... this time there were many huge waves?? at the blowhole point... unlike the last time I was there which was with Huimin, there was actually none... it was really quite exciting... and they went till really high as well... finally the long weekend came and gone... it was back to work for the next two days... :(

work was really slow though... everyone were still in the holiday mood and no one really wanted to be there... when we were about to leave for work yesterday... one of my colleagues gave me a christmas santa bauble... and I was really surprised... I really wanted one... although it was really for the novelty cos it really does not do anything... I was really curious about how it all works when my colleague got one from her secret santa... and tried to google it as well, but nothing useful came up... in the end, one of my colleagues suggested that we ring national geographic cos they stock the product and enquire... so I did that during lunchtime on wednesday and we were all cracking up... the sales rep at the other end was really serious and sincere though in explaining how it worked... it was hilarious... we had a really good laugh that day... auntie gave a treat yesterday evening at this chinese restaurant at rhodes... the food was not too bad actually...

finally another 4 day weekend... although I have to work on sunday... it is going to be stinking hot again... the best plan would be to stay indoors... no confirmed plans as to what we would be doing, so probably just trying to finish watching the show now...

I won't bother with a new year resolution this time... cos I never seem to be able to fulfill them anyway... just to be healthy, happy and be smooth sailing at work... establish good relationships with colleagues...

暴风雨。。。

hmmm... today has to be one of the more memorable days since commencing work at Nepean... everything was going as per usual until after lunch, when the sky started becoming really dark and ominous and before you know it, it was pouring, rain was pelting down and there was alot of hail... my first thought was... OH NO! AURIS!!! my car is going to be damaged from all that hail coming down... went to take the elevator to go up to the wards and bad luck, the light flickered and the elevator stopped, started flashing 5 instead of 2, where we were, and I was like... you have got to be kidding me!!?? no way I am going to be stuck in the elevator when there is a storm going... thank god the doors opened after a few seconds and I decided to take the stairs instead...

after approx half an hour, got a page from a colleague informing me that the roof in front of our office has just collapsed and we had to evacuate from the office immediately... went down and started packing our stuff and going into the students' room for the time being... all of us were told to stay there until further notice, and when everyone had gathered, we were hearing things like some parts of the hospital has been flooded, roofs have collapsed, and they were moving the patients and have declared the hospital disaster level1... which apparently meant that we had to stay put and not go up into the wards... whilst waiting, we were hearing things like the underground carpark has been flooded, there were ambulances flooding the hospital as a result of the collapse of the roofs of the local pub and shopping centre... I know this probably sounds bad, with people injured, but my main concern was my car really... had to wait in the office for the next hour before finishing for the day... when I finally got to the car, I was so relieved to find Auris still intact with no dent marks visible... and after hearing the news, found out that the storm has pretty much hit the whole of NSW... not just western sydney... really did bring back memories of when we had the really bad hailstorm a few years ago and I was all alone at home... the hailstones were the size of golfballs and smashed the windows in the lounge area...

it was one hell of a day... one week more till christmas, not that we are celebrating, having a relative visit, but am looking forward to having the days off...

COuntDowN to XMas STaRts...

mum and nainai are here... which meant that I am off Woolies for 3 weeks, which is really great, really enjoying my weekends... spending time with them... brought them out shopping... was planning to go visit hunter valley but it was raining this weekend, and nainai seemed to have caught the cold... hopefully the weather will clear up by the end of this week, cos I am looking forward to our roadtrip next week...

just went to the movies to watch harry potter... it was really good, sad but good, looking forward to the final instalment... have to admit that I totally do not remember the story... hmm... maybe I should read the book over the christmas break... watched backup plan and how to train your dragon... both were really funny... would recommend them if you want a good laugh...

work has been going ok I guess, nothing really new... colleagues are nice but we just don't seem to be clicking to date... dunno if it is the personalities or maybe it takes time... we'll see...

ThE seAsOn I hATe thE mOSt...

countdown to christmas and the end of 2010... summer is here... it has been really hot for the last few days... nothing very exciting happening atm... mum and nainai arriving this week... and we have received news that one of our relatives whom I have not seen for ages is coming to visit over christmas... joy... not... no new dramas so I am rewatching my collection of dramas... work is still ok... the official word is that the mobile rehab team will not be commencing until next year... so currently I am assisting with the acute team caseload... but hopefully will also be able to work on rehab stuff... and it looks like I am going to be stuck here for awhile until I have sufficient leave to go home...

PLodDiNg aLonG...

yesterday was my one month anniversary in the hospital... still no news as to whether the team will go ahead and whether the other team members have been recruited... so I am still the team atm... hopefully we will hear good news soon... work is going well on the whole... still trying to get used to the smells, having to carry bulky equipment over long distances etc...

completed baker king drama... I would rate it 7/10... the plot is good, however lacking in chemistry between the male lead and the girl he ended up with... I would have preferred that he went with Eugene... but on the whole, touching drama... I would recommend this drama...

met up with NAt, Bernadette and Flea yesterday for dinner... the food was not impressive... spent the whole dinner listening to Flea's grievances against certain people at RSC... she basically hated everyone there and having worked there for almost 21 months, I can't believe I did not notice these things happening... things were not as rosy as it appeared to be... thank god I have left the company...

other than that, nothing really exciting happening, except mum and nainai are coming to visit in Nov... so that should be interesting...

臭臭的。。。

work is going ok I guess, although I do go home with a headache most of the days due to the huge amts of brain drain... feels like I have to learn everything that was taught during uni again... and bcos we have quite alot of people now and I am working in a different area from everyone else, it is difficult to form bonds with any of them... hopefully things will become better once I get the hang of what I am supposed to do... got my new uniforms today... we are entitled to 5 shirts, 3 pants and a jacket... which is pretty good, no need to pay for them and no need to waste time and brain cells thinking of what to wear for the next day... and we get an 'allocated day off (ado)' every month, which is probably one of the few good things about working in public hospitals... the thing I really am not used to is the smell, I know it probably sounds really bad but the patients really do stink and I find myself coming into frequent contact with all sorts of body fluids... yuck...

the long weekend just passed... went to the city with pong for karaoke and went to ceci's for lunch... bought the baker king dvd... hopefully the show will become better judging from the reviews I read... atm it seems alittle draggy...

other than that, nothing very exciting happening... it's been raining these few days but it definitely looks like summer is nearing... hello flies :(

FREakiNg oUT...

survived the first week at nepean hospital... first 3 days was hospital orientation and only on thursday did I commenced observation in the rehab unit... both in and outpatients... and that was when I started to freak out... I have no idea what to do and what to expect... and the plan for next week is for me to spend some time in the acute wards... oh man... and I found out that my position was meant for a level 2 OT... seriously... I really hope for a miracle otherwise I really dunno what I am going to do... working in a hospital is really different... cos you are surrounded by people and the OTs all gather in the staffroom to eat during lunch... there is no table, you pretty much have to hold your lunch in your lap and eat...

and what else I found out... you have to buy your own birthday cake on your birthday... you have to pay for your courses... you have to use your own pens... you have to be responsible for cleaning up urine and poo if your patient suddenly lets go, not the nurses??!! *faints*

this decision to work in the hospital is not looking too smart at this stage... what have I gotten myself into??!!

WiSH mE GooD LuCk...

tuesday... we did manage to go to the zoo and it was only drizzling alittle when we were there so we managed to see most of the animals there, it only started to pour whilst we were waiting for the ferry... and after that, went for karaoke... now that bog echo has renovated, it has become quite cool with disco lights and touch screens... so we have decided to go to big echo instead of k mix...

went to the city to meet up with Alana and Nat for lunch at Lindt's... that was good but becos they only had their hour of lunchbreak, we could not spend more time together... but it was nice to be able to spend some time catching up with them...

highlight of the week... definitely the S.H.E concert... totally worth the money, better than Backstreet Boys and much much better than Jay Chou... they sang mostly older songs and there was interactions with the crowd as well... got some good pics and videos... still cannot believe that I got to see them in concert... it was unreal... really want to go to the Super Junior concert in Singapore in January 2011...

oh and I finally got my full driving licence on Wednesday... after 3 years of driving... so goodbye to red and green plates! one more day before a new challenge commences...

新的挑战。。。

this week can be considered a week of rest/slacking for me... last friday was a mad rush and a blur for me during the last 2 hours... was frantically doing everything at the same time... completing reports as much as I could and signing file notes... and Amber was nice enough to stay with me till 7pm that night and helping me clear stuff and tidy up my workstation... it was sad leaving and there were a few tears shed when I had to give a "speech" and when I read the card with everybody's well wishes...

did some shopping yesterday... planning to go to the zoo today, so hopefully the weather would be good enough to not rain... tomorrow, driving test in the morning and no plans yet... thursday, meeting Alana and Nat for lunch at Lindt's and dinner with the girls from work... friday... hanging out with prisy and then going to SHE concert...

still unsure if I am looking forward to starting work at Nepean... it would be like commencing a placement but this time, no supervisors and I am having to treat someone... that is one scary thought...
