Just another night here in Adelaide

Working through my reports and preparation for my patients tomorrow...it's just another normal night for me. Still working hard on the remaining 10% of the photoframe that I've been doing for the past few weeks! I still have another 3 more to go and that's it...I can continue with a photo session with my effort...then only i distribute it out!!! :)

Doing my adult rehab placement now.....!!! Dont' really enjoy it, but I'm starting to get the hang of it! Probably I'll get to like it in the next few days of my placement. hahaha...but I really dread to go for placement this Friday cause I'm going to face "stinky" feet...!!! Luckily like what TH said.....water here in Adelaide is not being charged per usage...if not...seriously I'll be broke just by paying of water bills because I've been taking shower so frequently (the max is 4 times in just one day)! hahaha....I too feel relieved that water is not being charged here....! I think I've gotten Michelle's "virus" of taking showers whenever possible...hahahah!!!

Usual night...Casey is still talking to Wen Pinn now.....they haven't been talking for the past few days due to exams...!!! Oh yeah....she's talking about this Christmas party that is at the heat in our gang right now! So...wanna know what it is? It's basically a pre-celebration christmas party (WJ is going back next Sun, so will have to celebrate it before she goes back)...so what we are planning to do is that each and every one of us has to come up with a present (cannot be less than 15 bucks) for this gift exchange event during the party! Condition is that the present has to be unisex, cannot be food stuffs and other ppl can't know about what you are buying so that the present is a SURPRISE! hahahaha.....Wen Pinn can't know what Casey is buying cause I'm here....Casey can't tell cause she'll violet the rules...!! She kept on giving out clues to Wen Pinn...but he still can't get it...!! erm....actually I also can't guess what she is going to buy..!! so....breaks even! Talking about presents...I've got an idea of what I'm going to buy...hehehe...going to go and search for it this weekend!! hehehe.....I'm seriously looking forward to this celebration because it's very meaningful (at least to me!) Casey is trying very hard to keep the secret....let's see how good she is in that...if she manage to let me know about it...hahaha...she'll have to get another present...!!! :) I wonder how the rest is going with ideas here........I know that TH has an idea of what to buy...how bout the rest???? I can't stress enough........it's a SURPRISE PRESENT.....so don't let anyone know about it.....!!!! The surprise will be spoilt!

Michelle is finishing her exams this sat.....then everyone is free except for me.....hrm...:P but nvm....I'll get my holidays in about 2 and a half weeks times...!! Can't wait for my holiday to come...!! hurrah.....!!!! :)

Erm...have to continue working on my photoframe now...!!! Wish that my frens have a great holidays.....!

C ya kids!!!!

Hurrah....today is totally the end of my paediatric placement for this year..!! That means no more kids for the rest of 2005..!! hahaha...isn't that great!?? Anyway...I got an overall credit for this placement which I think is alright as I don't expect that I will get more than a C due to the minimal amount of effort that I have put it except for that home exercise booklet that I made for one of my patients! With the help of Teck Heng's artistic talent, I manage to get another point towards full marks for my home exercise program...which was good! Thank TH!

Guess what guys?? My mp4 player is working for the past two days which was a miracle (at least to me :P) and was spoilt again today..!! hahaha...and the funny part is that I don't feel a thing..!!I was screaming with joy which puts Casey off that night cause it was past midnight when I found out that my stupid mp4 player is working and I was calling everyone up telling them about this good news. She couldn't stand me when I'm like a crazy girl laughing over nothing. Anyway...my excitement didn't last very long as it's not working now...bugger! That's the consequences of buying cheap stuffs...!!! Erm....how about expensive mp3 player like IPOD????? Hrm...???? (deep in thoughts....should I buy??? hahaha...) joking only...I don't have money to buy it...so go away iPOD...don't tempt me anymore!!!!

Things have been pretty slow recently as all of us are busy with exams except for me and WJ (we are having placement)! Till now, I think that everyone did ok...with Joanne telling me that she wanted to defer her exams in order to get full marks (haiyo...that girl.....still not satisfied with her HD already.......going for HHD I guess hahahaha......Joanne Joanne.....you are seriously funny!!!) Anyway...good luck guys with the rest of your papers!

I found out of my timetable for next year and I realized that I'm starting on the 13th of Feb instead of the 20th...!!! hrm....tried to argue with the lecturer.....but no success!!! So that means that I have to come back early.....which is not good! Not only that, I probably have to go to KL in Jan.....good news or not???? I don't care......by hook or by crook I really must go to KL this time!!!

I'm totally free this weekend and I have nothing to do because everyone's busy with their exams....!!! Hai......I need to think of something now....have to fully utilised my short short short short break...! Very tired now...!!! Feel like shopping...probably go shopping now....!!!

Pakistan guy at king william street??

Today it was just a normal day for me, as usual feeling exhausted after dealing with this extremely difficult kid at placement. Was leisurely walking towards Rundall mall, going towards Rundall mall when all of a sudden a guy approached me asking me for directions. This guy----how to say, is about my height...probably slightly taller than me and is darker than me). He spoked to me in Malay, asking me where am I from. Well, we started a conversation using my lousy Malay (with a bit of english in between) Basically, he was asking me about where do I come from, which country, what my name is etc...!!! This is so normal cause I always do that when I'm talking to a stranger here in Rundall Mall. People here are very friendly...so I don't see anything fishy in him thinking that he's just a lost visitor here in Adelaide and was happy to see someone from the same background as him (he told me that he's from Sabah---Tawau.l..the same state as I'm from). However, things are not always as simple as I thought it would be. He started to ask me fishy questions like whether I am attached/married or not...!!! Before I can think of what his motives were, he asked if I can be his gf or not. What the heck? That's very sudden and I've never ever thought that that would happen to me. I was so shocked when I heard that. So........what did I do? I tried to act blur....saying that I don't understand what he's trying to tell me (btw...he is talking to me in broken english...so that reason of not understanding him is pretty logical I would say). However, he's not easy to brush away, he tried hard using his broken malay and english trying to ask me the same thing again. Unfortunately I just have to tell him "no, thank you!" straight at his face. Luckily he took it quite well by giving me a smile and bring out his hand out to give me a handshake. For a moment there, I was thinking if I should shake his hand or not. However, I thought that it's just a friendly gesture...so why worry? Moreover, King William Street is one of the busiest street here in Adelaide...I think don't anything drastic would happen anyway. So, a bit reluctant, I shaked his hand thinking that everything should be fine. As I was shaking his hand, he suddenly pulled me over to his side and give me a good bye kiss (I think...!!) Luckily, my reflexes were quick enough to react to what's happening at that moment. I quickly backed off with eyes opened wide with shocked, pulled my hand away from his...uttered the word "bye" and left quickly without turning back. I was a bit shocked and scared...!! But luckily this man did not get angry or anything....phew...that was close...!!! I quickily called up Michelle.........telling her what happened to me...and was being teased by her...!!! Hai.........!!!! :P So...what have I learnt from this? Never ever again to be too friendly to people that you don't know...and of course...never to shake people's hand whom you think are fishy...!!!! Lesson no. 1 for the day!!!!! :)

Today it's extremely hot-----31 degrees!!!! I was so hot that I lose my apetite to eat...!!! Haven't been eating main meals for quite a few days already........dinner was instant noodles....and fruits...!!! This week is pear week....bought about 5 pears yesterday...planning to eat one each day for lunch...!!! hahaha...healthy!!!!!! :) Michelle was whining about the hot weather today like crazy...!!!! Can't blame here...it's really really hot until I don't feel like doing anything except taking showers! Flies were everywhere...it's crazy...!! You can see people having "flies fight" when they are walking.......trying to brush the flies away which are very irritating...!!! However, it's never ever successful in doing that! The flies are really annoying! Summer is coming and I reckon the flies will be ready for their "big attacks" soon! Luckily I'm not going to be here for summer...!!! Good luck to those who are going to be here during that period of time! :)

Anyway, going now. Bye bye everyone!
