Sent Aaron off back to Labuan last Friday... went to Sydney at 3.30pm.. reach Sydney at 7pm.. then went to watched 2012.. Very touching story about dunia kiamat... lol..
Then went to Chat Thai for dinner at 11pm.. the movie damn long le... Finished dinner at 1 am... Went straight to Domestic Airport...
Realli salute Wei Fun... the day before she did not sleep at all because of the Pharmacology and Psychology exam... then she was driver of the day...Super woman le...
The airport was not opened until 5am... So we waited there since 1.30am... hahaha...
Sat on the bench outside the airport... Talking and making fun.. took pics with Wei Fun's professional camera... u know the camera with the super lenz? lol... Pricey camera le :p
We talk about loads of things.. And the siao po (Hui Yong) of course kacau Aaron non stop...
Aaron was quite silent that day.. did not relli talk much.. I guess he miss us also kua.. ( hopefully I am right.. ) lol...
Sigh... then we talk talk crap... make silly jokes... and of course sum 'yellow' jokes that Mr Aaron likes to talk about....lol... aiya.. but not too yellow le...
At a blink of an eye, it is already 5am... we went in to the airport...saw him checked in... Took some pics with him... last pics before bidding him goodbye...
To be honest, even though I do not know Aaron that well or that long... He is a friend that I treasure... I think everyone ( Oi Yin, Hui Yong, Wei Fun & Wayne) feels the same as me... He is a very kind person, helpful and never ask anything in return.. He really do respect and care for his frens... He is the first person who gave me advice about how to treat people nicely that I would listen to..And I really learned this from Aaron..
Mr Aaron.. if you happen to read my blog... I relli appreciate you being a friend in my life..it is at the right time and at the right place that we are friends.. No matter where you are.. hope that you will always be happy in your future endeavours.... ok?
Me and others will always miss you :)

Prac... 2 weeks more to go..
Time flies... Very soon, I know I am going to finish my prac...
Today I am going to reflect what I have done this week.
Basically, last week I was being a lil bit of a lazy bum.. and this week, I am like a workaholic. Start at 8.30am everyday, and finish at 6pm.
It is a stressful week.. because one of the challenges I have is that I need to recruit people for my focus group...sorta like a survey thingy.
This means, I will need to get myself out there and talk to angmos that I do not know... that really freak me out. So many negative thoughts running through my mind... Shiat.. how am I going to do this? How am I suppose to get enough people to participate in my focus group? There are tonnes of things that I need to do for
this project. To be honest, it is kinda lot of work for a single person to do.
So, undoubtedly.. I am stressed out... I am even worrying about how am I suppose to finish this project on time. But I know that I need to get it done. So I made a determination... to cross over my comfort zone to make this happen.
I started recruiting people on Wednesday. Today, I was freaking out. I went to the mall and just talk to random people at the food court. There are some ppl who rejected me with their poker face. To be honest, that do not make me feel good. But I kept goin, although my heart in pounding upon my chest.
Finally, I did get a number of positive responses. In fact, I got about 10 people who expressed their interest to come. It was quite a good job according to my supervisor... However, I was escorted out by the security... Coz I am not suppose to hand out flyers/ promoting surveys on private premises. So that did not make me feel that good either.
I knew I need to recruit more people to come to the focus group on Thursday. So this time, I rang up TAFE College and spoke to the campus manager there. Haha... I do not need to explain the struggle that I went through plucking up my courage talking to him. Anyways, I got a positive response from him that I am allowed to come over to the campus to promote my focus group.
I actually chanted 2 and half hours for it. Coz I am determined to challenge my situation. I want to overcome my fear, by not letting it get to me. And it turned out, that I am doing a fairly good job as well.
And today, I went to Manning Hospital. This time, responses from people aren't that great. But I managed to get through to some people who also expressed interest to come; though most of them are unsure when are they able to make it.
From this experience, I do feel that I am a person who need stress to move forward. Actually it does make me work harder... rather than sitting there and doing nothing. Although it is a struggle, but I finally experienced finding joy while struggling... which is very rewarding.
And I know there are heaps of challenges and struggles awaiting me if I want to be a good dietitian; and also if I wanted to stay in Australia.
I appreciate that all these struggles are opportunities for me to grow. Yes it is tough... But I am enjoying it now.. I am surfing through it...
Now all I need to do is to keep up the momentum... and finish this project nicely as I wanted it to be : )
That is for now...

2nd day at Prac...
Woke up at 7am today....I was lazying around in bed.. reluctant to get up.
Went to prac abit late...to be honest... I am not looking forward to it.. Coz I am still hazy at the direction of my project is heading...
Basically my project involves developing a manual for Energize Australia to help local foodservice implementing healthier food options in their menus; as a strategy in preventing obesity and chronic illnesses. That is to sum it up.
Anyways, I've spent most of my day today feeling very sleepy and lazy... Ah well... my fundamental darkness is creeping in...Well aware of that... At lunch time, went to post a Bday card to my fren in Malaysia, and bought a nice book mark for her... Posted it but I realised I forget to write her name and my own address on it...
By the time I went back to the post office and asked for the chance fill in her name... It was already too late.. as it was posted at 1pm.... Pray that she will get it :)
Then, I drank 1 cup of coffee and 1 cup of tea but still feeling pretty sleepy...
Have no choice but went to Woolies nearby to get 2 bottles of diet coke...Managed to drank 1 bottle...
Time flies... then I joined the supermarket tour with Alicia; the other dietitian working there...
She pinned point the healthier options of food products to her clients on the aisle and explained them with ease.. and I was wondering.. when was I going to be like that?
Alrighty... that is for now.. Need to re-determined with prayer, action and appreciation...
Because this is a great learning opportunity for me to be a great dietitian : )

yesterday... and today...
Yesterday...
Thanks to Wei Fun and Aaron... sent me all da way to Broadmeadow station...they accompanied my to wait for the train as welll...
I have 3 luggages: Laptop, backpack, and a 30kg giant luggage for 4 weeks to survive in Taree...
Ah well... Wei Fun and Aaron's reaction was like... ' What did you bring la gal??'
Anyways, I have the reputation of overloading myself with stuff as always... bad habit... since kindergarden.... Need assistance to change that though...
I boarded the train... Determined to read some of the reading materials for prac... But fell asleep 80% of the journey....
When I was awake... I was bored.. so I read Ikeda Sensei's daily guidance.. This one really impresses me:
'To take the initiative to go where the circumstances are most difficult, to be first to take on the most ardeous tasks. Those who live with a dedicated commitment to faith, to kosen-rufu (happiness of humankind) and to their own self-realization are true champions in life'
I am deeply moved by his guidance... Coz i am facing the feeling of fear right now... Coz I do not know what to expect out of the placement... I still have doubt if I am going to do well for IPP placement...
Suddenly out of the blue... I felt melancholic and very sad... as my granma is critically ill... I have a feeling that she has passed away....
I reached Taree at 5.10pm...
It was sunny here compared to Newcastle...
Then I caught a cab...A guy smoking a cigarette, long haired, wearing unruly clothes was at the cab before me.
But he asked me if I wanted the cab.. and let me get the cab first.... He appeared to be a nice person after all... he even opened the door for me to get in...
Then I reached the hospital... Asked the cab to wait outside for me to get da keys from Manning Hospital... But my key wasn't at the reception... It was at the emergency centre... So I took my luggage out... Left at the reception and went up to 2nd floor to pick up my keys from he emergency... led by the security...
Luckily enough.. I got a ride from the security to take me to the unit that I am suppose to stay....
Then I get to meet my house mate... Anyway, the house is in a mess... that is all I can say... but still bearable....
It was already 6pm when I was here... Then I quickly went to do some grocery shopping before it gets dark...
This is when the interesting part starts....By the time i finished my shopping.. it was already 7.30pm... It was very dark...and was carrying 3 bags of groceries...2.5L of water, milk, sugar, soy sauce, cooking oil, cereals, and some other stuff that is enough to make my journey back to my accommodation a painful austerity.
Due my 'great' sense of direction... I was lost in the dark... I have no inkling where I was and road lights were scarce for me to see the unit number...
I was scared... tempted to cry but luckily I didn't... I chanted in my heart.. I even knocked on stranger's home to ask for directions but nobody answered.... Walking on with heavy groceries.. I have no choice but to stopped a random car driving by...And there were 2 guys in the car... middle aged man and a young lad.
I asked them for help and they took their torch light and accompanied me back to my place... they even helped to take my groceries...
I was scared... because something bad night happen to me... Imagine a gal walking with 2 strangers...But,I came home safely... and I knew I am protected....
But I SWEAR to never walk in the dark again... EVER....
Damn it was super scary -_-
And Today...
Started my prac at 8.30am but my supervisor is not around...Nothing much happened at prac today.. But everything started just fine... But I am determined to do have a wonderful IPP placement...So.. need to re-determine although I still have doubts for not doing a good job.
Then I had 3 coffees today in struggling to keep awake.. but I am punished with 3 serious bouts of diarrhea....Not feeling that great after all.
Suddenly remembered at lunch time that it is my best fren's bday this coming Friday... need to make a card for her to wish her happie bday bac in Msia...so i went to Big W to get some materials...
Finished at 4pm.. Did some grocery and came bac.... ate dinner and went online until I saw Bro's msn message... my granma just passed away yesterday at 5.30pm Msian time... the same time as how I felt that I lost her on the train.
But according to my mum.. My granma passed away very peacefully...
I know I lost my only granparent today...but I do not feel sad. As I know this is a new beginning for her life as well...
Granma.. May you rest in peace... All your children and grandchildren will prosper with a bright future...
Thanks for being so compassionate and always being considerate towards others' happiness and welfare...
You will be always be a part of my memory...deep in my heart.
