no, im not really back

surgery and anaesthesia exam on monday
i can already see Len in his high socks and flared nostrils berating me for not understanding the minimum alveolar concentration differences for halothane vs isoflurane...
ahh...the life of a 4th year. should've seen it coming eh?

1245 in the wee hours (no more daylight savings whoopee!) and im procrastinating again. first time ive been on facebook for weeks..first time in months ive posted on my blog.

heres a little snippet of what i spent my day doing:

• 2 endless hours of diagnostic imaging lectures with jenny's imaginascope to look at radiographs and ultrasounds
• 2 hours of equine on some form of gastro disease that has managed to find its way completely out of my brain despite having only learnt it a couple hours ago (something about gastric-duodenal ulcerative syndrome?!)
• then i spent my afternoon feeling up rams..yup.. palpating ram's testicles and comparing them to the ball-chain (haha..), not to mention extruding their slimy penis..

joy joy..tomorrow we're looking at bulls bits too..more repro!

all in a day's work hey?

exmouth

i guess its about time that i posted up pictures of the fabulous trip to exmouth and ningaloo reef that i went on with Anthony and Kelvin.
These a couple of the pictures i took, will post up some of the underwater ones that kelvin took with his waterproof camera when i get them off him.
Spent most of out trip soaked and pickled in salt water. 2 days diving and seeing the unimaginably colourful and creative undersea lifeforms. Best of all were the 8!!! whale sharks we saw and snorkeled with. Not forgetting the pod of dolphins we snorkeled with, the humpback whales that came up to the boat, the manta rays and dugongs we saw from the boat, and countless turtles we swam with.

1. 16 long long hours to exmouth
2. feral cows are really dangerous and they're everywhere on the road between canarvon and exmouth. Imagine the damage that kind of roadkill would cause!
3. assorted dive books ready!
4. the camping and caravan park kitchen
5. this picture was not posed
6. proof that we were in exmouth!
7. 6.30am in the morning and we are woken up by those noisy birds and a beautiful sunrise
8. some random lighthouse
9. happy me cos it wasnt my shift to drive! i get to sleep in the backseat!
10. note: the sign says "dangerous and no entry" that anthony is such a rebel..ahha
11. gorgeous gorges in cape range national park
12. ditto
13. cliffs and all in sunset
14.. us
15. a 'delicious' looking meal we prepared (but didnt have salt!)
16. buying fruits in canarvon on the way back to perth

music to watch snow by

Listening to the Harry Connick Jr version of:

Oh the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

And since we've no place to go

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping

And I've bought some corn for popping

The lights are turned way down low

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight

How I'll hate going out in the storm!

But if you'll really hold me tight

All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying

And, my dear, we're still goodbyeing

But as long as you love me so

Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

The weather outside IS frightful, but not snow for liddle ole perth
I wish it were christmas again.. cant wait for Christmas 2007! Its coming in just a few months..yippee!

what was in my notes

"As an instance of bowel contamination in a cat I have a vivid recollection of a female cat which underwent ovaro-hysterecomy. After its return home, it sat in the kitchen, unchecked by its owner, licking the site of healed incision the whole of the day, until eventually its intestines prolapsed. It went into the garden, dug a hole in the loose soil and buried it own intestines. The resulting telephone message stated that the cat was standing the the middle of the garden and seemed unable to move! The intestines, fortunately intact, were dug up from the ground and washed with quantities of normal saline. They were replaced, and the wound was resutured in the usual manner."

i don't know what to do

under the sea

all i want for christmas is the new 2 disc special edition of the little mermaid

i have to say that it was my ultimate favourite movie...bar none!
no matter how old i might be, it'll always bring me back to my childhood..
back when life was fun...

i guess it was the movie that started my fascination with the sea and the amazing aquatic life...so now that i can scuba dive, i guess i'm one step closer to being a mermaid? now all i have to do is find a crab and a flounder to be my best friends..

seems like nowadays my future seems a little more uncertain

so many life-changing decisions to be made
its so exciting, confounding, confusing and downright bewildering!

i guess theres something to be said of the finality of graduating. no longer is your life all sorted out for you in terms of semesters and units. you now have to plan things well ahead of time, think of others rather than just yourself, anticipate the future...

if this is all part of growing up, i'm not sure i ever want to

well into my 3rd year. next semester ill be 1/2 way thru. what then? do i start thinking of jobs, marriage, family and the like? seems like i'm thinking too far ahead. or am i? 21 years old, a lifetime ahead of me. i ask the age-old question: what IS God's plan for my life? what path does He want me to take?

its all too hard!
y cant i just concentrate on the upcoming 3 exams, rather than trying to look into a crystal ball to see my life 3 years down the track?

wedding pics, not mine tho

pictures off Chin Wee camera from Nathan and Irene's (Mr. and Mrs. Yap) wedding on the 1st day of Chinese New Year.
i was wearing my new dress which i love!...but hey, any reason to get new clothes right

With the bridethats me 'drinking' all the crap thats the leftover drinks (teabag and all)we were cleaning up after

notice i mostly put up pics of myself? narcissistic arent i?
