Sigh, I wanted to change my blog skin, I really do. It's too hard. I tried, the html language is too complicated for my simple mind. And I'm getting tired, its near my bedtime... =P
So, I've decided to just make my fonts bigger. I hope its now big enough for the old people who can't read tiny words.. hurhur..

End of Clinicals
Woohoo! Clinical placement has finally come to an end. Kinda sad to leave on the last day, but I'm glad its over. No more stress, no more sleepless nights, no more waking up at 6am in the morning!
Come to think of it, I really learned so much from this placement, all the theories put into practice, communicating with patients, colleagues, other health professionals. Its a wonderful experience. At the last few weeks, I really felt like part of the N&D team at TTSH, so it makes the whole working experience so fun and entertaining. Haha, all the bitching and gossiping sessions during lunch, all the laughter and giggles. Hee hee...
Anyway I managed to take some pictures with my colleagues. Missed out a few coz they went up to the wards before I catch them.
Kavita, one of the funniest dietitian in the team!
Grace, 2 years my senior from Flinders..
Charles, 1 year my senior from Flinders, also everyone's favourite dietitian!
Michele, my "shifu"!!
Okay, thats about all the pictures I took with my colleagues, will go back and take pictures with everyone when I return my blazer.
The dress I bought from F21 finally arrived. It was actually meant for Kong's sister's wedding, but it kinda came too late. Never mind, I'm going to consider it as a reward for completing my placement smoothly! hee... I think this dress is soooooo pwetty...
From the mirror reflection...
So pretty??? (I mean the dress...)

My Happening Week!
End of week 9 of placement, feeling happy & sad at the same time. Happy because the stress is finally going to be over in another 5 working days and the end of the toughest placement of the year. Sad because... some of you know & I shan't spell it out loud.
This week was killer week at work. I had to get 5 "satisfactory" counseling forms to pass the placement. Thankfully I managed to collect all 5 by Friday. The last hurdle is on Monday, when my lecturers from Australia will be at work to observe me and assess my counseling skills according to the Aussie standards. Hopefully everything will work out alright. I also had a case study presentation last week, didn't perform quite well for that, so gotta re-do it again this coming week. Oh well, at least I've survived most of the "torture" this week. Last 5 days of hard work and I can book air tix to go back Adelaide at the end of the year for the graduation ceremony!!
I think this week is one of the most happening week for me. For once on a weekday night, I went out to hang out with friends! It was Huiling's birthday on Thurs night, so my JC classmates had a lil' gathering at Mind Cafe together with her. It felt good to hang out with the hwa chong peeps again, playing silly games and having all the cheena-fied conversations. haha! No offense peeps! I still love all of you and the chinese talk! Btw, welcome back Nicolas!
Friday night was my buddy's sister's wedding. I think its my first time seeing Kong in a suit. He looks real smart in that! The wedding dinner was held at Shang-ri-la, the last time I was there was during my JC prom night. Brought back a lot of memories! Those were the days, thanks to gaothebao for reminding us all that we're J8 this year.
After the wedding dinner, we headed off to Zouk and hung out at the Winebar. I haven't been to Zouk since like... 2005 when I left for Australia?! Haha.. reminded me of the days when I was 20 and "chionging" till 4am. Oh, bumped into gaothebao at Zouk last night. For once he didn't say I'm boring! haha! Well, we stayed there till 3am and I didn't get to sleep till 4am. I woke up at 3pm today and I feel like all my bones are falling apart. I feel soooo old. sobs.
Will upload some pictures that we took last night, once I get hold of them from gaothebao! Okay, still feeling sleepy... I think I need 24 hours of sleep to make up for the late night up. Urgh!

Random thoughts...
"No fish, shrimp also can?"
This has been the hot topic among my girlfriends this weekend.
This is depressing. I didn't wait so long for a "shrimp"...
I still want a fish...
Feeling soppy... Where's my fish?

Wednesday Fever
I don't know why, somehow on every Wednesday, I'll get a headache and sometimes a fever.
My mid-week syndrome.
Anywho... I cut my hair yesterday (like AGAIN...) Yes, my crowning glory was getting too thick and too long to handle. But I find that its a bit too short now. I remember telling the hairdresser that I want to cut the length "a little bit" shorter. Somehow his definition of "little bit" equals 5 inches. Like WTF?! My once long pony tail looks like a rabbit's tail now. Short & stubby. Stupid hairdressers.
Not sure if I've posted these pictures before, its from my farewell dinner earlier this May, at Sato, my favourite Japanese restaurant in Adelaide...
Marabelle & I
Bernice & I, Bernice has such long fingers she reminds me of a spider (plus she's soooo skinny... luckily I know she doesnt read my blog... hurhur)
With my favourite housemate Char!
Early this year when I collected my prize for being the top Masters student last year! *beams*

End of Week 7
This week has been a really tough week, as mentioned in an earlier post, its assessment week. Thanks to all who have been helping me and supporting me, I managed to pass this assessment. So one more to go and I can pass this "toughest" rotation.
Kudos to those in Adelaide who already finished this monstrous rotation. I think you all deserve a pat on the back for all your hard work!
So basically, this weekend is indulgence weekend for me, Friday evening I had Jap food with Karen & Dean at this place called something like Sun & Moon by the River? (something like that lah) The food was not bad, the ambience too, just that we felt it was a little too warm to sit outside by the river. heh...
Some yummy food that we had:
Karen's hotpot dish!
Dean's black pepper pork...
My yummilicious ramen...
$7.80 chawanmushi, not quite worth it...

$7.80 chawanmushi, not quite worth it...Saturday was also spent enjoying myself! Went shopping with Ah Hu, Gao & EJ. But then EJ had to drag me to this XX organization's one-year anniversary dinner. Wasn't the best way to spend my Saturday afternoon, really. Those people were a little too into the thing they were doing, it felt like they have no life, but they are actually so proud of themselves. To sum it up, it was really a boring event. *GLARES AT EJ for dragging me there, you owe me one dood*
Let me tell you more about the things I bought, very happy with what I got today. Heh...
Let me tell you more about the things I bought, very happy with what I got today. Heh...
- 1 pair of (work) shoes
- 1 black pant (for work also)
- 1 green chiffon polka dotted skirt (unplanned buy)
- 1 four-leaf clover and 1 silver bracelet to match it
- 1 clinique lippy for my mommy
and... I trimmed my brows too! Yay, no more messy, sleepy look when I go to work =)
So overall, Liyan is a happy girl!

Feeling stressed to the MAX!
Disclaimer: Its going to be a whiny post. Don't say you've not been warned!
Feeling stressed... Yes... Same ol' story.
Its week 7 of placement this week. Meaning its assessment week. Meaning ultra stressed because I have to be in top form to pass the assessment.
Which means? More stress... And more pimples, and more pimples. Which means I have to take my pimple meds more frequently. Which means? Cracked lips. Urgh...
One way to cope with the stress...

Muddy Mud Pie...

Banana & Butterscotch Cheesecake...
The only thing I can do to help myself - have a caffeine-free iced latte. At least I'd be able to have my beauty sleep at night!Dear friends, please pray for me!
