End

Canon 600D + Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 VC

I started this blog last birthday, 

having just discovered the joy of taking photographs,

intending to find my own creative outlet, 

a breathing space, 

daily.

And funny how I end this blog this birthday 

receiving my first DSLR.

So they said, life's a circle.

Till the next project.

And PS: Quarter-life crisis exists. True story. xD

Quarter!

But I still enjoy having 

physical copies of my favourite photos

in my hands.

Friday, September 30, 2011

Blue

艳阳高照，
蓝天白云，
听着萧敬腾，
享受阳光的温热
打在带着墨镜的脸上。

穿着蓝外套，
心里却像脸上的温暖，
一点也不蓝。

好久没有在上课的日子里
这样的悠闲了，
连坐火车也不嫌烦。

嗯~~
这就是
幸福的滋味吧！

Duck! 3

Wednesday, September 28, 2011

It's a 'duck-eats-duck' world out there! LOL~

I always find those speculums looking similar to a duck's bill.

Somehow, this idea came up while I was playing around with my free speculum.

LOL!

(Hey! It's always important to get used to the equipment, ok?)

Jabs

Vaccines

Day 2 of GP-land:

2 free jabs!!

(on myself of course, ouch! But yay!)

HAHAHA~~

I'm loving this!

GP-land

Yuck on an awesome day = so-so

First day of GP rotation today.

And a good day it was.

Despite feeling super tired waking up, 

the rest of the day was rescued by:

1. Interesting patients, awesome supervisor, friendly staff

2. "Late" start 

(830am?! What? You mean the sun's already up?)

3. Early lunch

4. Long lunch break 

(You mean I have time to run some personal errands too?!)

5. Finishing on time

Not missing hospitals for sure! xD

(And it's still not ruined by the worst coffee I had in a long while!)

Sunday

What I did today:

ROFLMAO-LOL-Awwwww~ - at friends' cuteness. xD

Cleaned my room.

Put up some recent artwork/postcards I love.

......dropped my phone. 

[ie: the dark square - phone camera took that photo by itself while face down on the floor]
Still ok, it's shock-proof or something.

Awesome day!

(Noooooo... Monday tomorrow!)

Laze

Movies arvo

Spent the rainy Saturday afternoon,
watching Chinese movies.
(非诚勿扰，还挺有意思的。)


Sort of missed out on days like this last week,
not using my brain,
watching movie, listening to music,
laze around doing nothing.

Shit!

Still in holiday mood.

Noooooo~~~~~~~

Summer?!

Friday, September 23, 2011

Summer?!

Weather here has been crazily hot in the past week,
apparently more so while I was in Perth last week.

So, it was Sydney that stole the sun from Perth!!
LOL~
xD

Anyway,

feels like summer these days!

HOT!

Dr

Thursday, September 22, 2011

Dr

Work contract for the next 2 years arrived today.

Nice to know that I'll actually be earning money very soon.

Got officially addressed as "Dr" for the first time,

despite not actually going to graduate until 3 months later.

Still, 

this feels good.

The end is really near.

Finally.

Somehow.

Exciting.

Scary.

Single

Wednesday, September 21, 2011

Stuck outside

Recently realised that most of my closest friends already have someone special with them.

Except me.

Nearly quarter-century old,
and still alone.


Sometimes, this is what make me

sigh~~

Spring

Tuesday, September 20, 2011

Flowers

Spring time is here!!!

Flowers blooming everywhere!

The colours! The energy!

(no wonder people go manic this time around!)

*love!*

Duck! 2

Monday, September 19, 2011

want some tea?

The first time I saw you was many months ago...
I managed to somehow bump into you again.


And this time,
I'm not letting you go.



CUTE~~~~~

Company 2

Sunday, September 18, 2011

love-food

Had home-made walnut cake as pre-breakfast on the last morning in Perth, made by a new friend I knew here.

Absolutely enjoyed my week here.

On the surface,
it's quite similar to Sydney,
-- good weather, nice beaches, valleys, rivers, great lifestyle etc.
but with way less traffic/chaos.

But on a personal level,
there's a sense of closeness here,
-- great friends (old & new), cosy environment, very Malaysian similar culture etc.,
so much so that it feels like the times I'm back home.

And then I realised, what made this holiday so good was the company.

Miss you guys.

Will definitely visit again. =)

Hang-out

Saturday, September 17, 2011

DOME

DOME cafe,
been to, many times in Perth.

Somehow,
they feel more like regular hang out places,
not so much exquisite food/coffee.




......like random mamak stalls in Malaysia.




So......
What's the equivalent in Sydney?

Perth

Friday, September 16, 2011

Perth

This is starting to look like a pretty good place to live in. =)

Art Inspires!

Thursday, September 15, 2011

Imagine

The definition of one hell of a good day:

Had one of the best ramen for brunch at Nao.

And then....

Art galleries hopping for the rest of the day.

Life's so good

it's ridiculous.

=)

Rottnest

Wednesday, September 14, 2011

Rottnest Island

Amazing little island!!

Pristine waters, white sandy beaches, cliffs, cycling tracks, Quokkas...

Luckily we did not miss the ferry in the morning!!!

LOL~

Explore

Tuesday, September 13, 2011

Lines!

I'm in Perth!!!

5 years ago, I was here for an interview.
(Funnily enough, if I accepted the uni offer, I would have been living here now.)

Main reasons of flying to the other side of Australia:
- Holidays
- Visiting a good old high school friend of mine

Actually, most of the time, the second reason way outweighs the first. I travel to where my close friends are.

=)

Anyway, explored the city today.
It's indeed a very small CBD.
xD

But,
Love, love, love the lines of this building!!

Please remember:

As much as how rainy days suck,

you'll always need it for the rainbow to shine.

Same as life.

Korean

Friday, September 9, 2011

KIMCHI~~~

Had Korean with the family,

for three reasons:

Fathers day,

Dad's birthday,

Mum's birthday.

Killing 3 birds in one stone!

Dawn

And one last freaking very early start.

(Until internship! Lalalallaallalala~~~)

Late night

Wednesday, September 7, 2011

Pumps

When I took this photo,
I was being amused by
novice realising the petrol pumps are not long enough
to reach the other side of the car.

xD
HAHAHA~~
I had that too once.




Anyhow,
probably the last late night finish from neurosurg/hospital.

=)

Until internship next year!

Back to Bathurst

Tuesday, September 6, 2011

<3

I did not spend a year in Bathurst,
but somehow after visiting the small town so many times in the past year,
that there's somewhat a sense of familiarity I get from it.

And now...
Bathurst is officially on the must-do list for all my visitors!!!!

Visitor

Monday, September 5, 2011

Visitor

Things I love:

A friend visiting,
not just Sydney,
but also me.

Big thank you to every single one of you!!!

Illusion

Sunday, September 4, 2011

Illusion on reflection!

The illusion:

Driving a car with a sunroof on a sunny spring day.

Note to self:

Have to buy a car with a sunroof when have  the money. =)

Latent

Saturday, September 3, 2011

What's the English name?

粽子!!!!!!

I know it's the wrong festival this time of the year, and we're a bit slow...
(It's Mid-Autumn Festival soon, should be 月饼 instead.)

But....

YUM!!!!~~~~~~~~

Forms

Friday, September 2, 2011

Path

I've been ordering so many of these on my patients these days,
that it's a bit odd that I needed to get one done for myself today.

Weird to be on the other end, to be the patient.

Souvenir

Thursday, September 1, 2011

B-hole

Guess what this is?

A souvenir from my neurosurgical rotation.

(But I disposed it properly after taking this photo!)

Needles

Wednesday, August 31, 2011

Pox

Eek!

I need to get this,

again!

Screw you body!

For not taking the vaccine in last time,

for making me having them again.

Grrr...

Uni

Tuesday, August 30, 2011

UWSSOM

Nice to be back to uni, even if it's just for a few hours.

Just being a student, away from the hospitals, away from being on the ball.

And, it reminded me that Spring is coming! 

Woo!

Breakfast

Monday, August 29, 2011

Banh mi op la

I got really excited in the morning
knowing
I'll have bread roll + eggs
for breakfast.

Just like how it was
last time in Vietnam.


Ah~~~
Memories of holidays!

Baby

Your tiny feet.

Finally met up with some of our family friends today,

and now the total number = plus one!

Welcome to our world, cutey-pie!!

Look

Saturday, August 27, 2011

Look |> (Life)

Had a relatively easy week.

Allowing me
to have the time, the energy,
and the mental capacity
to think,
to look back,
to reflect,
about all the things I've come across.

I hate being too busy,
so busy that life just gone by with a blur.

Hate.
Strong word that I don't use often.

Now, to enjoy the weekend!

Stink

Friday, August 26, 2011

Stinky!

Been 

standing too much

in operating theatres,

walking too much

between patients during rounds,

running too much

worrying about being late,

until this starts to stink!!

Nooooooooooooooo~~~~~~~~~~~

Must find a way to fix it. 

Grr.....

Filo

Thursday, August 25, 2011

"Alien"

Finally tried some Filo food for the first time!!!
And I like it.


But,
the highlight of the day
would have been
the random catch-up
filled with simple yet fitting analogies!!

LOL~~

Love the cake analogy! xD

Orange

Been somehow finishing relatively early this week.

Though by 'early', I still mean 10hrs day.

But at least I get to catch a glimpse of

this

before it disappear.
