My clinical life

It has been insanely busy and I think it will stay that way till forever.
Endless wardrounds, surgery, IV bungs, history&examination practices, bedside tutorials, PBLs....
It is so chaotic...I often feel info overloaded but I will learn!somehow...anyhow....like how the nice patients always told me...

Gambate!!!!!!

Heatwave, spare me!

Melbournians experienced the most scorching temperature of 46.4 degree celcius this afternoon. This is the 'hottest' record since 1855!

The heat seared my body and my brain ceased to function today. And I had to immerse myself in a tub of water.

Tomorrow is going to be 20 degrees cooler.

Thank God!

Being random...

Today was the first day when we headed to our attached teaching hospitals for Southern Health students.

We were supposed to have nursing shifts and to observe nurses at work. However, the afternoon was pretty relaxed and lacked action as I have expected. The staff were having a meeting and James and I just had a self-directed tour and interviewed a patient who did not know much about her condition.

LOL...

It's definitely going to be better on monday once we get our unit rotations and PBL groups!

Currently I have nothing much at hand. PBLs and pathology cases are not on MUSO yet so I am seriously free besides the fact that Ryan and I had been researching for cars. We will probably settle for the Toyota Corolla that he test drove today ^^

There is a pang of homesickness sometimes but I am sure I will overcome it soon once I get busy with uni.

Gambatte!!!!!!!!!!!!!

牛年快乐！

一年一度的农历新年又来临了！（好像在写小学作文。。。哈哈）

在此祝大家：

欢欢喜喜迎牛年，
万事如意平安年，
大吉大利顺新年，
事业成功辉煌年，
合家欢乐幸福年，
身体健康万万年！

回到正体，今年新年气氛已不比往年。这是第一个没有外婆一起度过的新年，心里难免也有些许别扭。以前除夕就会大包小包回外婆家，因为家里就只有三个人，没什么气氛。今年除夕就只好在家过了！在初二才会回去给外婆上柱香。

本来以为就会在外婆家过一天，但几天前意外的在Ｆａｃｅｂｏｏｋ找到五年没见的两位学姐，就决定见面一下。

初五就要回墨尔本了，心里有点忧伤（开始想家了）但又很期待新学年的到来（今年要开始在医院学习了）。

对自个儿来说，还是真希望新年不要变肥啦！哈哈！当然也希望有好多红包拿啦！现在都已收到两位阿姨送我的新年衣叻！

来年预测经济不景气，所以贺词方面要多多注意。我发现了一些有趣的禁用贺词，只是因为谐音不吉利的关系．．．

Visit a temple the Gen-Y way

My mornings in Malaysia has always been a healthy breakfast then news reading. I have came across this interesting article in NanYang Siang Pau about the fun things that we should do during CNY.

One of them stirred my interest. Even though I am a Christian, I resolved the check this website out.

This is the link:
天地宫


It takes quite a bit of time to load though. And it is in mandarin.

I find it quite educating. The website has some simple facts about offerings to the gods and some knowledge that even elude some Taoists. So, if you want to avoid the crowd at temples or if you are allergic to the smell of incense like me, why not have a look at this website.


It is also quite entertaining. There is nice Chinese music playing in the background. And the visitor will take the role of a young girl who is there to learn about offering prayer in a Taoist temple.




I can even download amulet or portraits of the gods and even have my fortune told.




This is my wish for CNY! I released a lamp called 孔明灯 on the website.

What an interative way to learn about some Chinese tradition!
