Quick update

30 minutes left to brain and spinal cord lecture. Now in the library doing nothing, just tired of study.

Still busy since week 1. Next week shud be my first formative and summative test, arggg, test again. Everyone is suffering for it, so am I.

Got to know that we wil have a new clinical school and new Menzies Research Institute soon, yeah. The buildings are damn modern, anticipating.

We are offered UROP (Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program). Great chance to go into research. However, only some will be selected. Furthermore, those we are selected will start to involve in research with scientist, professor...... during the summer break for 6 weeks. Arh, cannot go back if I wana involve. Somemore when we accept the offer, got to work for 8 hours per week for the research for 20 weeks. Anyway, of course we got paid for 5K a year. Shud i go for it????

Completed my first family visit in Week 2. Not too bad. Having fun with baby.

Learned statistics yesterday, wao, maths is great. But the statistics assignment is.....
Research assignment due on 20 Sept. Got to research on all 11 previous australian nobel price winners and got to predict who is the australia next nobel prize winner, wanlau, doubt i can guess.

So far, finished dissecting lower limb. I was involved in the medial and anterior thigh and foot. Will move on to the back and upper limb soon. I love the session but hate the formaldehyde.

Surface anatomy was great too. Touched here touched there to locate the bones and muscles, haha, fun. Those locals are great with their bodies. No wonder Andre go gym so often.

Will have rural placement soon. Since Tasmania is well known for its rural placement and rural clinical school, hope that will turn up a great one.

Sum up everything, got to go for the brain lecture, c ya.

Winter Break - Brisbane ( 22/6 - 29/6 )

Staright after my OSCE exam on 21/6, I started my first ever winter break journey to the mainland of Australia. My first stop was Brisbane where I visited Jun Hong and Teo. Went there by Virgin Blue while Kee Shan and Jing Kai went by JetStar from Melnourne. Pity them, got to sleep at the Southern Cross railway station. Overall, spent my break nicely. Only got one day rest for the whole winter break. Finally I finished posting some of the photos taken during my journey, waste me 2 days for this. Some of the photos are either missing or in Jing Kai laptop, will post them when I get them. I wana post about Uni of Melbourne and Uni of Queensland. HWta a huge difference in this 2 uni. Hope you enjoy this. Lets go.

The Gold Coast beach on the way to Brisbane domestic airport.

One of the major transport in Brisbane is ferry.Uni of Queensland even got their own jetty, wanlau

We had steamboat twice in Brisbane.

Geng leh

Brisbane China Town.

If not mistaken shud be the treasury building.

Brisbane market

Uni of queensland is just on the other site of the river. That's why every sunday Jun Hong and Teo took the ferry to River Plaza station by ferry and then bus to the market

On the ferry

Since the two hosts are book worm, we were pretty lost in Brisbane as they rarely come out.

The maritime musuem

What's wrong with the banana?

Can you believe it, they put chocolate roll in the middle of the banana. 2.50 dollars for one.

I love Brisbane for its buildings and bridges

Winter Break - Brisbane (June's Birthday)

Why Jun Hong bought this bunny?

Yeah, it was for June's birthday present on 28 June 2007. We were rushing back from Gold Coast to celebrate her birthday.

Winter Break - Gold Coast ( 24/6 - 28/6 )

During our stays in Brisbane, we went to Gold Coast.

Stayed here for 3 days 2 night and it was really good.

The beach in Surfer Paradise, Gold Coast

Minus 5. A bar where inside is -5 degree celcius. Everything is made from ice including the chairs, cups........nice experience. Photos inside update later.

One of the best ice cream shop in Australia.

Mouth-watering? We managed to finish 1 kg size within 15 minutes, somemore during winter, somemore at night, siao meh.

Sea World, one of the 5 theme worlds in Gold Coast. Lots of sea creatures here. Polar bear, dolphin, shark.......

" Dun get angry with me, honey"

First time touching starfish.

Nice shot with this

and this

Performance time!

Next. Wet n Wild. More or less like Sunway Lagoon. These 5 guys really crazy, went water theme park during winter. Siao siao one. No wonder all got cold or sick straight after.

Last theme world we visited was the Warner Bros Movie World. Worth visiting.

No one dare to ride this. 90 degree free fall, scare heart attack loh. Jing Kai, you not very brave one meh?

Scooby doo's family

Wats the name for them, forgot ady.

Batman and Jun Hong

Didn't plan to ride this at first, but since we were there ady, aiya, nvmlah, wet is not a problem.

Ripleys Believe It or Not in Gold Coast

Why my face became so old?

Michael Jackson actually was there in Gold Coast, we managed to his photo.

Somemore John Harvard gave me National flag, welcoming me to Australia.

Einstein too

Kylie Minogue,the famous singer in Aus. All photos taken in Toressa Wax Meseum. Duno how to spell Toressa but she shud be famous.

HarbourTown where lots of branded company like Nike, adidas having their factories here. Lots of warehouses.

Look, how much we have bought. I just bought Nike sport shoes and tongs, sweater and jackets. Others belong to Jun Hong, Teo, Jing Kai and Kee Shan.

Memorial for comrades who have fallen. Is it related to Anzac Day, duno.

Overall, Gold Coast is the best place so far to enjoy in Australia. Far better than Melbourne and Tasmania. Would like to come back during summer as it was such a disappointment for us to visit the beach during winter, hehe, Jing Kai, Jun Hong, Kee Shan and Teo, am I right?
