and there was Code Yellow! What an experience. End up could not do full ward orientation, and spent 10 minutes or less in each ward, just walk around knowing the settings.
Today will be the second day of placement, and officially first day on ward. I get Vascular/Thoracic/Gastro Ward, a surgical ward this time. Seems to be a very busy ward. Hope things will go smoothly today. =)
Jia You!!!

First week of second semester
The first week of semester has just passed. Monday and Tuesday were off, as there's no placement on the first week. Went to Dayi's house on Monday evening and had dinner there. That's my first time there. Small, nice and quiet place. Met up with Dayi and Dayizhang on Tuesday morning at Vic market. Shopped for some vege, then went to her house again. Stayed till about 7pm then came home. Nice catching up with them. =)
Officially started uni on Wednesday, with 3 full-blast lectures in a day. Readings, readings, readings, and more readings for the week. >.<
Thursday was clinical skills lab. It was quite fun. Playing with ampoules, needles and syringes. Tried injecting into a sponge. Haha! After lab was group project meeting. There are 6 of us (including me) in the group. Glad to know that everyone is enthusiastic and willing to put in effort. Selected our top 3 preferences of group projects, and now we'll wait and see what we get tomorrow.
Friday was free. Stayed at home whole day >.< Yesterday went out to Vic market again and met up with Grad House's friends. Shopped in Vic market, then went to Chinatown. I bought few more things to stock up my kitchen hehe.
Gonna go to Vic market again today. Need to stock up my fridge for the next one week. Then I'll need to come back and cook dessert for tonight's dinner. It's Kat-chan's birthday tomorrow, and we're celebrating for her tonight. =) Can't wait to catch up with them!
Placement starts tomorrow. This semester I will be at Western Footscray Hospital. Hopefully this placement will be a smooth-sailing and fruitful one!
That's all for now. =) Ta~

新的学期
转眼间，假期结束了。今天，是新学期的开始。这一个月的假期，很忙，但也很悠闲。忙着收拾东西，忙搬家，然后让自己在新家安顿好。悠闲，能花时间下厨，能花时间读杂志，能花时间学习织围巾，能有足够的睡眠， 能和朋友一起外出，和不同的朋友去了两次卡拉OK。假期真好！
欢乐的时光总过得特别快。开学了。虽然星期三才正式上课，但得收拾心情，开始准备课前阅读了。希望这个学期也能安然度过。我会加油的！

Bits of updates
It's been awhile since I last blog. Here's a little bit updates of everything:
1. Things back home are stable, at least for now. Still a bit worrying, but at least not an emergency, nor life-threatening at this stage. =)
2. Exams went well, and holiday started. =)
3. Officially shifted out of Graduate House and moved into an apartment in city on last Tuesday. Thanks to all my friends who helped me in the shifting during the weekend! Sharing the apartment with another two Malaysian girls. Haven't got chance to know them more, as one is back in Malaysia for holiday, and another one is in Tassie for holiday until this Saturday. Home alone now. Things are all good.
4. Exam results were out on last Friday. Could have done better for one subject, but I am satisfied. =) Here are my results:
5. Started learning how to knit. Doing my first project now: a basic rib grey scarf.
I think that's all for now. Hopefully there's interesting things to update in near future. =)

Sick... at the wrong time!!!
Falling sick is not fun at all, especially at the wrong time!
Just finished first paper (Nursing Assessment & Care) on Monday. I think I passed. The MCQs were alright, but SAQ were not so good.
Started having itchy nose yesterday afternoon. This morning it got worse. As of now, my nose is "leaking", and my eyes are watery. I couldn't concentrate and study for the whole day! And i have Nursing Science 1 paper tomorrow morning!! This is really a bad timing. >.<
I need lots of luck now to pass my exam tomorrow...

In denial
Yes, I'm in denial.
Got a shocking news last night. I'm still in shock. And denial. I know there's nothing I can do now, but wait. But still in denial. Brain has stop functioning since last night. Tear gland has gone hyperactive. Trying to gain back control.
Into SWOTVAC this week. Placement ended almost 2 weeks ago dy. Handed in all assignments, ended all lectures, lab and tutorial. Which means now only final exams left.
Which also means that I need my brain to function fully.
But I can't even read my notes. They look blank to me. Maybe my brain is blank.
