had a enjoyable weekend although we were rushing through our tmd stats assignment. I stayed over at kimberly's house on saturday night after finishing the group assignment.

Although, it was only 10pm when we finished the stuff, meaning that I could have gone home, but 10 plus here in adelaide is like 3am in singapore. This is because the sun sets super early at 5.30pm, and together with the cold wind that always comes along with the dark night, everyone, practically everyone will be at home nesting at about 7pm. The shops will be closed at about that time so the streets are like deserted, with the exception of scary aborigines that will tell you right in your face that you suck and you better get out of their way or all those homeless people that asks you for money. You could taking the bus at 7pm as being the sole passenger onboard and the bus driver will just stop the bus at some road and come to have a rather intimidating talk with you. Going back home is definitely an adventure you dun wan to try, but its just ridiculous to me that all activities end at 7pm. but well that's adelaide for you..

but staying in kim's house kinda rock because i watched on of her japanese movie, called Be With You. oh my oh my i cried like no one's business because its just so sad. its kinda embarassing to come to think of it. i shall burn it into dvd and let you girls watch it some day and then we will cry until the cows go home ok.

winter is definitely right at our doorstep because there was a hailstorm today. H.A.I.L.S.T.O.R.M yep you heard it right. the heaven was raining ice instead. its pretty cool to see ice on the ground, but bleh its not snow. I dun mind if the weather is just cold like the shanghai's weather. but its cold and wet.blasts of rain can just come with any notice therefore it is not of any wonder that my clothes ain't dry. its super annoying when i have to take my clothes in and out in and out(repeats for 500 times) and it doesn't dry. the sun does come out for a couple of hours but it only this mild shade of it.

i hate this season transition and i missed the viewing of those red maple leaves up in the german town Harndolf. They say its gorgeous :( and now all the trees are botak with ALOT of dried maple leaves on the streets. No one sweeps them, unlike those banglas that will sweep up the dead pong pong tree leaves under my block every morning. So now the whole place feels pretty gloomy and cold. Its a wonder how the sun can cheer people up, its the vitamin D or something i think but i guess i wun get much sun till spring comes.

I went to the buddha temple in adelaide today and chanted some sutras. It made me feel peaceful and meditative. I think i will be spending more time in reading those buddhism books and see whether i can agree with the teachings, and maybe i can find my faith. I think faith is important, i have seen it doing wonders to people around me and it makes me crave for one as well. Hmmm what will be will be. Lets see how it goes.

anyway tml i am seeing my first patient! Jitters jittery. I think if she scream while i debride her callus for her i will scream with her as well. Slow and steady. I hope i can feel her pulse and do some proper assessment for her. its a wonder why some people still have the courage to visit learning clinics for their treatments. Don't they know that I know nuts and don't they know that i have only used the scalpel twice in my whole life? oh man...
