Summer has officially started yesterday and as usual the weather in Melbourne is ever so unpredictable. The weather station has been announcing thunderstorm the whole week and it still hasn't come yet...
well seems like I can't complain that much.
Time flies this week...pretty soon I will be back in Malaysia.
Busy is the word. Doing what?
Working, playing, seeing George as much as I can before I go back....
Planning his birthday dinner
Buying stuff for my mom,saying farewell to some of my uni friends...
Looking for high school that has a place for my brother next year.
My sis has been busy running around the high school here as well...
but luckily we managed to find a place in a school for him.
and as usual after all this activity I am left broke...
but no complains here...it's all worth it.
George's Birthday.
his tiny cake...
it's gonna be his 23rd birthday soon, but unfortunately I would not be able to celebrate with him so I plan a birthday dinner for him yesterday.
the knife was meant for the cake.
I would say all came out well...just as I expected it would be
BBQ at Yarra River
As summer is here...BBQ is definitely one of the activity....
my aunt and uncle
by the riverside...forget what we were doing...
It was a nice day out....the breeze by the riverside were strong....and the constant irritation of the OZ flies is a just reminder that summer is officially here...
it's getting warmer here in melbourne... 28 degrees today
and crazily the christmas spirit in melbourne has already lingering around for nearly 1 and half months...
Have to apologise for the lack of post
been busy working amd studying for exam....
but now i am free....my exam end last monday and now i have 3 weeks before i go back to malaysia.....
excited abt goin back especially looking forward to see everybody again but i am reluctant to leave melbourne as well....
2 and a half months.....too short to stay in Malaysia, too long to be away from melbourne....

which i hope soon....haha

in the internet cafe at the moment.
trying to get as much as i can with my $3.50 an hour connection lol...
take care everybody.
will be back on the 22nd of November.
anyone miss me?
2 weeks has passed without any incident....
Life is mainly surround by endless trip on busses and trams to my placement venue.
One more week till my placement ends....
after this would be 6 weeks of lecture free, assignment free time.
=>
can't wait hehehehe...
anyway..wen ching here's my update,..lol
wish you have another fulfilling semester.
Last week of class has passed and now I am just waiting for my placement.
I am going to a place call berwick this time, will be in a hospital setting ...
I hope I get to learn a lot this time too...
Last placement was good.
At first i thought it will be boring as I have already done a similiar placement before...
But apparently I am so wrong...
It was a nursing home located in Caulfield...
the first day was crap because i have to get up like 5 am in a winter morning...
so it wasn't a really pleasant experience.
But then as the days passed, I get to know my coursemates better...
the nurses in the Nursing home teached me alot.
i get see the really warming side of doing nursing in a nursing home
where the nurse knows what is happening in their client's life....
asking questions like: How is Joe recently? Did he win the footy match last weekend?
what about sarah?...
In this instance, you will see that the client's eyes light up....as if they are all young again.
They talk and talk about their family and past events....and i have to tell you... i am surprised by their ability to talkl because whenever I am with them...they doesn't seem to response..
It's depressing at first but then i started learning to communicate with them...
I would like say .... old people are so cute...
although not the washing them up bit...but I would guess they wouldn't like it either...
so I have to make sure that both of us as comfortable as possible...
I later find out that all i have to do is try to act as normal as possible
Taklking about the weather and tellihng them the recent events is really enjoyable.
because come to think of it...
we as carer/nurses are the only connection they have to the outside world...
if we don't tell them what happen...who will?
but anyway...
some bad news...My laptop is dead...now trying to fix up my laptop and i hope it won't be really expensive.
Placement will be hell but i hope i get through it perfectly...am a bit worry about it cos i heard that they ask you alot of question....
I may go back to malaysia a bit late this time....currently I am only confirmed on a January 8th flight...which means I will be spending christmas her in Melbourne....
I hope I get an earlier flight out...
but then I am going to spend CNY in M'sia.....yay!!!!
hahaha
ok that's all for now will post more soon.
Take care everybody.
today is wednesday...
2more days till friday...
really can't wait till that day comes....
will be going to George's company ball this friday.
my first ever ball so i am really excited about it
especially the dressing up bit....my first time to a ball....
at the moment i am still try to make my tummy look abit more flat...
ok i know i shouldn't announce to everybody out there...
but who cares...I am so excited!!!!!
Can't wait...
can't wait....
Tuesday 7.8.2007
7am...
woke up...lazily peel myself from my warm warm bed to the bathroom....
8am...
on the way to uni.
between 8am and 9am...i am just dozing off with headphones playing mp3.
9am-5pm
lecture...tutorial...group discussion...
all the boring things that you need to do to get yourself some great marks in uni....
why 5pm? hehe...this is where the fun part comes in
on that day itself....we all planned to have dinner together..a peking duck dinner...
Well....
all the singaporeans in our group insist that the restaurant we are going to try out is the best Melbourne has to offer
as usual I don't believe them...*kidding*
but that wasn't the main reason why we are having dinner together...
Pei Ling is leaving melbourne really soon...as in this saturday.
So this is a farewell dinner for her.(part 1)
but before that I have to stay in uni to wait for them...
why?
because I finish my class at 2pm...they finish their class at 5pm....I know kinda crazy to make that decision.. a 2 hour law lecture..
so I made a decision that I would attend the lecture with them as well
everyone was really concentrating except wen *rofl*
however...
30 mins into the lecture...look what happen...
usually selene would the most hardworking one out of all of us...
Don't know what happen to her that day...
pose for the camera...
Caught them in the act...^_^V
can't really blame us...the lecture was a bit dry :P
After the lecture, we took the tram to our destination
on the way there...
Kathy ^-^v
and when Vinci turn around i caught a really classic example of a paparazzi shot..
i know shocking!!!
*shock*
Tsk..tsk...never thought i had that kind of talent...wahahahaha
Finally the proper one...lol...
it took around 45 min to reach our destination
wen and I were so hungry that we nearly snatch the Mcdonald fries from one of the passenger...
6pm
Stop 17...
reached our destination.
The restaurant's name is call
The Old Kingdom.
of course what is a dinner without photos...
and if you all run out of things to do you can always drink some tea...
or....if you run out of tea look at something that is pleasant
eg.a handsome guy?
selene look a bit bored..hmm
can't blame her..her heart belongs to somebodyelse...
Finally a proof that we did went for the Peking duck dinner...
Vinci holding a peking Duck
this is an album that all of us give to pei ling as a farewell present...
Handcrafted by selene.
Inside have photos of all of us and memories that we had over the past few months...
It was really a nice book....beautiful too
it was so beautiful that I caught someone in theact of stealing it ...
here is the evidence
*cough*wen*cough*
hahaha...hope you all enjoy this post...
back to my increasing amount of assignment now... =<
Pei Ling:
I hope that you have a safe journey home... to Singapore.
May you be the best nurse of all times and an angel to all patient that you are gonna care for in the future. Look forward to meet you again in the future. I am glad that we spend a real good time together.Take care, my friend.
