Easter Holidays..

It was that time of the year where easter eggs, hot cross buns and parties become a much familiar sight wherever you go in the city. Not forgetting my friends of the Christianity faith, it's the time for the remembrance of Jesus for them.. As for me, Easter holidays is just like any other holiday... away from the university.. away from all the crunching hours in laboratories and lectures..

What is left behind after taking away all the uni routine is just boredom on my part..

Such an uneventful day today.. I practically cleaned my whole house today.. Even pick dirt and hair off my carpet by hand today so as to fill in the gaps between my study time.. GOSH.. Can one be more pathetic than that?

To end the day, I ended up doing something I loathe in my whole internet culture life.. I updated my PROFILE in friendster and facebook.. GOSH.. the last time I came up with the profile was at that time when I actually set my account up which was like in 2001 or 2002.. SAD =(

I hope tomorrow will be a better day.. Don't think I want to pick out hair from my carpet or update my profile any time soon.. (T-T) -sob, sob

The joy of having a child around..

Having children around can be such a joy.. Eventhough they require quite a lot of energy and time, they are worth all the effort.. Just look at those cute eyes and funny actions.. The joy of having them is nothing comparable.. Shucks.. Shouldn't take all these from me who doesn't have a kid of his own.. Hehehe..

Well, anyways.. just have a look at the video.. Beats being home alone doing nothing.. =) Enjoy a good laugh!

Random Pictures of Brisbane

Kinda bored one day and decided to have a walk in the City..

Walked to the Queensland Performing Arts Theatre, and saw a nice display that was made out of cardboard.. Pretty simple looking.. Reminds me of an art piece a child would have asked the parent to do for a school project.. Tsk Tsk Tsk.. However, I still like it though.. Kinda nostalgic somehow.

Continued my trip along to Chinatown.. Kinda nice to see the typical Chinatown gateway.. It was quite a sight.. Lanterns hung down from the gate with its elaborate design and colours..

Museum of Brisbane (MOB) at night..
Nothing really majestic about this.. but it reminded me of the Supreme Court of Singapore.. those tall columns in front.. Palm trees around its boundaries.. Only difference will be the watch tower..

Brisbane reminds me of Singapore soo much.. There are places similar to Raffles City, City Hall etc.. the only exception will the beaches here.. They are thousands times nicer than Pasir Ris Beach, East Coast Beach or Siloso Beach.. Will get pictures of the beaches next time.. Love the beaches here.. Lovely waves.. white soft sands.. and it squeeks when you walk on it =)

My new place..

I finally got to stay in my own apartment now even though it's just a Studio.. I am glad to have my own bathroom!! Yeay.. No more communial showers for me.. :)

This is how my place looks like as you step in from the front door.. Kinda humble.. Enough room for a single person..

This is my cooking area.. Got to be careful with the cooking there.. If the smoke alarm goes off and there happen to be no fire.. It will be a $890 fine.. We don't want that to happen do we.. I know some of my friends who got fined.. Sorry guys..

That's the hallway we walked through as we enter the front door.

My working area.. Nothing else to say abt that.. Just that its the place where I spend most of my days.. (in front of my com.. ) *grinz*

The sink in the bathroom..
The mirror is huge... A must place to visit everyday.. Unless on days where I am sick and decide to stay in bed for the whole day.. Hehehe..

The toilet and the shower cubicle.. :)
This time they are all mine.. No more cleaning up after peoples' mess.. Yeay..

Dear Mr President... why are you as such?

One of my favourites.. A shout out to the President of America.. WAKE UP~~!!! Stop being a joke and perform your duties like a normal president.... PLEASE.. I know the world is your stage.. but try to show a lil less of those comical theatrics... (see clip below)..

Well, anyways.. Its been good fun to have a 'cool' and 'funny' president.. but not one that runs a nation..

Updates on Clinicals...

I have gone through almost 4 weeks of my clinicals up till now and I am really looking forward to going back to Brisbane. I am excited to resume my normal life as a jovial uni student with little concern with'office politics' in the hospital. Anyway, I could'nt care less about such petty politics. I am just a student who is there to observe after all. :D thank God!!

The past 4 weeks have been quite challenging for me. I have learnt how to deal with a number of difficult patients during those times. Thus far, I have had the experience in dealing with little kids, authistic kids, HIV positive patients, criminals, patients who could just cry on you without any provocation, patients with generalised paraplegia and even patients who were utterly rude and abusive. It has been a colourful past 4 weeks and I don't wish for it to be any more colourful than it already has. I am already known as a 'Bully' in the department. Shucks.. and I thought I am such an angel.. :p

Work just keep piling up on me.. Even when I am away in Tasmania for my clinicals, I have work set out for me waiting for my attention when I return to Brisbane this coming 25th Feb. Gosh~ When can I ever take a break.. I do deserve a holiday right.. :p I have been a really good boy... *grins* I am going to start counting down my days to my winter break.. Can't wait to go for a holiday in Adelaide.. Wait for me Adelaide! I will be there soon enough..

Anyways, time to retreat. Another day in the hospital tomorrow.. Starting at 8am.. Shucks.. I hate those 8am datelines.. Too bad I do not have a choice.. Sigh..

Run Forest.. Run!!!

Running and jogging is such a painful exercise.

I am not refering to the pain I get in my legs and knees.. But, it is such a pain to be discipline and follow an exercise schedule especially when it involves running or jogging.. Sigh..

I am guilty of postponing my running schedule many times.. what a disappointing record! I need more discipline.. Where is an army Physical training sergeant when I need one? :p Well, anyways.. I am not regretting any decision of mine whatsoever during those times when I "forgot" to do my exercise.. I got other things that needed my attention then.. How convenient.. :)
