Thien's Farewell (March 1st)

Uhh I can't remember exactly what happened anymore but basically I met up with Andy and when we got to Granville we had just missed our connecting train. The next train was in 30mins so we chatted about this and that and exchanged interesting stories about our clinical experience.

When we arrived at Cabramatta we looked around for people we knew and finally spotted them at one of the station exits. We joined them and chatted while we waited for Sai to arrive as Kim and Jennifer would come a bit later. Once Sai came we headed out to catch the bus to Thien's house but Sai and I were given a lift by one of the other girls. ^^

Fi, Simon, Cheng Dong and Steven were already there and after most people arrived we ate lunch. It was really good, there were so many yummy dishes to choose from we all just pigged out haha. Some of us started to sing karaoke, play Wii or other console games while the rest of us opted to play Ugly Dolls, Articulate!, Apples to Apples, the Bean-growing game and Zeus on the Loose. I think I did pretty well in most of the games ahahaha...


A few of us had to leave early but the majority stayed for dinner and it was pretty cool. We joined all the little tables together into one long row and sat in tiny chairs eating our delicious steamy bowls of Pho. Kinda felt like a little restaurant haha.

All in all it was a great day. =)

Last Day of Clinicals

Friday 29th of February was my last day of clinical. It was pretty sad because I didn't really wanna go back to uni and do assignments and exams. Plus I had come to enjoy the atmosphere of the department and the company of the people in it.

Anyway, my last day of clnical happened to coincide with the last day for two other staff members (granted they were only going on extended leave and not leaving permanently) so we had a HUGE morning tea to celebrate. I bought in some biscuits and a chocolate chill cake I'd made the night before. There was so much to eat~ xD

I took random photos with everyone, observed some Nuclear Med and CT and, of course, did my fair share of HSAs. All in all, it was a great experience. At the end of the day when I went into the tearoom to gather my things I found everyone already waiting for me. The woman from Nuclear Med gave a speech of how they would miss me and hoped that I would do well in my future studies.

I'll miss them.

Once I got back to my Auntie's house I double-checked to make sure I had everything and then went to have a quick dinner before giving my Auntie and Uncle some Thankyou presents and then heading off to the Jolimont Centre. Alan came to see me off and Jia sent her apologies for not being able to make it.

The coach ride was quiet and my seat number was 8D -I'm always allocated the window seat, how cool is that? xD Anyway no-one sat next to me so I took up both seats and had a nap. The night sky was so clear I couldn't stop staring at the stars for ages.

My brother and sister came to pick me up once I got to Central and we drove home. It was great being back home with my family and even better sleeping in my own bed again.

Heh.

Lookie Lookie~
