seeing australia my way (melbourne) - sovereign hill

the gold mine in ballarat. an English village still preserved like it was. ppl in the village had costume on like in the past. quite cool.




had a poster done in the ancient news agent! ---> "AI LING is taken into custody for being drunk and disorderly" how true lol.

seeing australia my way (melbourne) -the kangaroooooos

The Ballarat wildlife park.these kangaroos were wandering everywhere. i js knew i would freak out.

so, i was realli properly freaked out when 2 kangaroos hopped slowly towards me the moment i entered the place. i turned back into the reception behind me n refused to go out again. the staff was nice enough to show me how he fed the kangaroos n even offered a packet of that food for free =)

they were lovely.

when you can't say enough thank yous.

a year already. so fast.

every friday, everyone in clinic will know my santa claus is coming with a lot of presents. bottles of wine, boxes of chocolate, cards and so much more. and even though i give away some present to the nurses and the staff in the hospital, at the end of the year when i am supposed to clear the locker, i still find like 10 bottles of wine sitting in it.

and people will tell me, "what, your patient gave you a necklace?!"

"what, your patient gave you a rosary?!"

"what, your patient sent you a parcel to the hospital?!"

"what, your patient gave you all these?!"

every time i will say to him, "please, you really don't have to do this, and you really should not do this anymore".

every time he will say, "okay i will say this is the last time then"

but things never stop coming.

i wanna say, thank you, thank you, thank you. if the life of a dental student is stressful and tiring, you make it rewarding by just giving me the sincere look of appreciation of my work, by just saying thank you, by just telling me i have made a difference.

thank you, for letting me feel i will be a likable dentist in the future.

you and pauline will make my stay in england a forever sweet memory.

thank you, derek and pauline.

my stick.

 

this week has been real awful. a string of uncool things happened. i js thought it couldn't be much worse.

but the week ended in a sweet way. i guess no matter what, God stil loves me. when i am down, You always send somone to cheer me up.

Saturday. i thought i should really make myself happy. so i headed to town to get my Ted Baker shining purse. spending a little to reward yourself isn't a big sin (eventho u are broke i guess).

n my stick, kiran was real hilarious. i saw this lovely bag in Urban Outfitter and i js fell in love. and this cute stick of mine js kept asking how much i liked the bag. i didnt sense a thing but the next moment this kiran was fighting to pay for the bag over the counter. "THIS IS YOUR BIRTHDAY PRESENT! I JUST WANNA GET YOU SOMETHING YOU REALL LIKE!"

lol x1000000000000

what can i say, carrot loves the stick.

new home.

after 4 years of living in student halls, finally ai ling moved into a house! so, no more cleaners, no more fixed bills, no more drunk freshers.

had a little unofficial house warming. wani decided to make some msian tom yam for my stick kiran. n i fully utilise my ability in frozen food by boiling some rice balls (tong yun!)and kiran made her signature dish the magic potatoes!

i hope it will be a year of warmth and happiness and more laughter in the house!
