Painting and waiting

Took me two calls to be able to make it through the line and now I'm waiting for them to ring me back. It's always so troublesome calling up to confirm clinical placement. =/

In the meantime I finally finished off Shadowfax. Can't be bothered spending anymore time on it gahhh...My next piece is going to be experimental. Should be quite interesting to see how it turns out haha.

Some lyrics stuck in my head:

By the light of the moon she rubs her eyes

Sits down on the bed and starts to cry

And there's something less about her.

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do

So I sit down and I cry too

But don't let her see.

Badgers and the Super friends

Badger:
Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, MUSHROOM, MUSHROOM! Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, MUSHROOM, MUSHROOM!

Superfriends:
Aquaman: What are you doing?! It's a crime! It's a crime!!
Filipino woman: (monkey humping her leg) I'm sorry aquaman! I'm just cooking a fish! I'm SORRYYY!!

ahahaha Otousan showed me these! The Superman, Batman and Aquaman parts are the funniest in the Superfriends video xD

Uni group found out about my blog =O

Sorry folks, there's nothing interesting to see/read here. Move along. =P

I realised that I haven't blogged in a while haha...hmm Finished exams! Only one week to play before clinicals *sigh* ><"

In other news, am still haunted by the photo of a friend in what appeared appeared to be a tight, extended boob tube thingy. Not so bad you say? WELL IT WAS A GUY. @____@

*ahem*

Moving on: dead baby jokes are terrible, am watching Angel season 3 (yaaay), getting to sleep in (yay again), and may possibly try to paint something this week. =]

Must. Get. Out.

So. Bored. Nothing to do at home. Too hot to go outside. Finished watching HIMYM season 3 and don't feel like watching anything asian right now. So sick of playing games and there is nothing interesting to read. Perhaps I should look up recipes and then cook all day? Hmm. =S

Stay at home = boring, hot
Go out = have fun, spend money

TV and internet keep me sane at night. Music keeps me sane during the day.

How depressing. Good thing beach house is coming up soon otherwise I might go nuts being at home all day doing nothing... @____@

Bleh. I hate summer.

Feeling Good

Something stuck in my head:

"Stars when you shine
You know how I feel
Scent of the pine
You know how I feel
Yeah freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me

And I'm feeling good"

Good song.

Happy New Year

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
And it feels like Summer again. I'm feeling a lot better today but I think it'll still be another couple of days before I am back at full health.

2008 was a good year, and looking back there's nothing I would've changed. I hope this year will be even better, that I'll have even more great memories of times with friends and family, and start being more independent and hopefully become more mature. I aim to get off my ass and start doing things I've been putting off and, of course, achieve good marks at uni. Most of all though, I want to continue to improve myself in all aspects so I be a better daughter, a better sister and a better friend.

Additional goals to achieve:
+ cut back on spending
+ learn to cook
+ improve my Chinese

Yup. It's mostly general and I haven't really put anything too specific but hey I'm turning 21 this year, I'm sure I will have more resolutions after my birthday.

Ok that's sorted. In other news we came home last night from a quick trip to the shops (it was my turn to buy munchies) only to be greeted with the sight of a HUGE cockroach sitting on the top of our front door. Gaaaaahhh it was so not good.

Made a request of my brother to deal with it but despite his attempts it scurried away under the door into the house and hid behind the piano.

Z-O-M-G

Luckily it emerged later during the night and my brother managed to catch it.

It's no fun being sick

Geh. Just my luck. I'm going to start off the new year being sick. >:( Had to cancel outing with Louie, Kathy, Jack and Jo today and I can't go to the NYE celebration tomorrow with everyone from uni. *sigh* Usually I can't be bothered to go see the doctor but dad has been nagging so I went with my brother today only to discover that both medical centres in Eastwood are CLOSED until January sometime. Bah.

Christmas was nothing special seeing as we don't celebrate it at home. James my sole 'god-bro' invited me to a Christmas party with him and his uni friends which was rather nice. We ate lunch, played Guitar Hero and Quiz, exchanged presents and played a cool board game called Cranium. God-bro gave me a 'Mummy Girl' voodoo doll which is supposed to "get rid of unwanted love interests and watch over your feelings".

Let's hope it works.

I didn't expect I'd have so much fun hanging out with a whole bunch of people I didn't know –so that was good. Though unfortunately, I managed to progress from a simple sore throat to a fever etc. It was still great though. It was the happiest I've been these past few weeks…

Anyway. My brother bought a 50" HD TV recently and it DOMINATES the living room. My dad doesn't like it cos its too big. So we hafta go back to using our very very old TV (not even flatscreen OMG) arghhh what a waste…

Well, time to have some cough medicine. I hate being sick. I feel so useless not being able to do anything. RAAR.

Poem for $20 =O

Gahh...so many exams and assignments and no time to bludge. =[

Today in Radiographic Physics, R.B asked us to write another poem, and this time he gave us an incentive. One of the poems would be randomly selected from the box and the student who wrote it would get $20! How cool is that? xD Obviously I didn't win, but it was pretty cool anyway.

I heard the wierdest thing on the radio yesterday...apparently there's some woman (whose last name means 'Berlin Wall') who has a condition which makes her attracted to inanimate objects. She got married to the Berlin Wall 29 years ago and reckons they've had quite the relationship O___O"

Though apparently now she's become attracted to some random fence... =S

Hmm...I better get back to study now.

FREE YOGHURT!

For the second day in a row I got free Dairy Farmer's yoghurt from Parra on the way home! =)

Good stuff -even more so since it was free. Heh. XD

Press Play~

Yay, I've now got music on my blog! =)

hmm~

Random things about today:

• FINISHED SPSS!! v^_______________^v
• Parliament House is now 20 years old. =O
• Reading FOB English is difficult...
• Free SMS is cool~
• Assignments are G-Y-A, GAY -___-"
• John Hoon <3
• Green tea =)
• TubThumping XD

Stuck in my head...

No reason, but these random lyrics are just stuck in my head. Guess I've been listening to a mix of old stuff and new stuff these days...

"will- you- beeee... unmistakable?"
"come give me red roses with yourrr baaare haaands"
"inconsolable"
"我该如何才能羸得, 你对我微笑的脸, 甜言蜜语应该跟着谁学, 只要地球不毁灭, 我就继续等待你, 到永远还很久时间"
"you're always walking awaaaay (walking awaay)"
"we spend all of our lives, goin' out of our minds, lookin' back to our birth, forward to our demise, even scientists say everything is just light; not created, destroyed; but eternally bright"
"du, du hast, du hast mish"
"all this time you were pretending, so much for my happy ending"
"至少还有我..."
"사랑해, And I love you-"
"i wanna feel the raaain"
"in pieces, in piiieeceess"
"I couldn't take it anymore so I went back to the sea..."

Blog Break

Taking a bit of a break from studying to blog a little~

I've finally gotten around to listening to S.H.E Play [yes, I know it's not that new anymore…leave me alone! ><"] and it's not bad, there's quite a few good songs. ^^

Apparently Jay Chou wrote the song 借口 for S.H.E [which would explain why there are so many references to his songs]. The mv for it is pretty interesting too, there's some random guy pretending to be Jay Chou ahahaha.

Anyway exams and assignments are coming up soon.*sigh* I've given up watching anime and dramas for a while –it's time to buckle down and STUUUDY!! [Now, if only R.B had better lecture notes -___-"]

My sister got a baby budgie from her friends for her birthday! For the moment it is still nameless and its gender is undetermined. O.o" Nevertheless it is a cute little thing which, for the most part, is pretty quiet and motionless. Seriously, if you didn't look at it closely you'd think it was a fake bird the way it assumes a stance and doesn't move. =/

It's a little more lively when it's noisy and it likes to sit on the swing and swing sideways. Interestingly enough it uses its head to 'push' itself on the swing. It's a very odd sight to say the least. O.o"

Oh, and on a side note I am sick.

=[

Finished the Naruto Fillers!

Yup. That's right. I totally wasted my time watching the last arc of the Naruto fillers instead of doing my work. =S

Ahh why do I succumb to procrastination so easily?! ><"

Radiography Jokes

Random stuff I found~

You know you're a Radiographer when...

• You wash your hands before you go to the bathroom
• You've ever had a patient with a nose ring, brow ring and 12 earrings say, "I'm afraid of needles!"
• You have to leave the patient's room before you begin to laugh uncontrollably
• You believe a roll of tape can fix any problem
• You know beauty is not only skin deep....great trabeculation, nice odontoid!
• The question of the day is to B.E. or not to B.E.
• You know that a hard beam tight collimation equals adequate penetration
• You know what "pop the film" means
• You have more white cardboard than you need
• You give somebody a hug, and feel for their iliac crest
• You make comments like "the costophrenic angles are not showing when chest x-rays are shown on tv or movies.
• When you watch ER, Nip Tuck, Scrubs, Etc. you look at the viewing box in the room and know that the PA CXR is hanging upside down, along with the lateral c-spine, and the patient is in the ER because she is having a baby.Then if you say to yourself and everyone in the room, who don't care because they aren’t in the medical field, those x-rays aren’t hanging right, and that is a major HIPAA violation!!!
• You know the answer to: "But my left side does not hurt, just the right side of my chest hurts, why are you taking a picture of the left?"

Funny Valentine's Day/Singles Awareness Day Poems

[Got this in an email. Some are better than others -namely the last one and the fourth last one haha. ]

A local newspaper ran a competition asking for a poem with the most romantic first line, but the least romantic second line. Here are some of the entries they received:

• Love may be beautiful, love may be bliss/But I only slept with you because I was p * ssed.
• I thought that I could love no other/Until, that is, I met your brother
• Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet, and so are you. /But the roses are wilting, the violets are dead, the sugar bowl's empty, and so is your head.
• Of loving beauty you float with grace /If only you could hide your face
• Kind, intelligent, loving, and hot /This describes everything you are not
• I want to feel your sweet embrace /But don't take that paper bag off of your face
• I love your smile, your face, and your eyes- /Damn, I'm good at telling lies!
• My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife: /Marrying you has screwed up my life
• I see your face when I am dreaming /That's why I always wake up screaming
• My love you take my breath away /What have you stepped in to smell this way?
• My feelings for you no words can tell /Except for maybe 'go to hell'
• What inspired this amorous rhyme? /Two parts vodka, one part lime....

The other days...

"Guards, report!"
"Uhh..there is nothing to report."

2 Doctors and Palpating Patients

Sunday was bludgy, so I didn't really bother writing up a blog ahahaha...but anyway, not much happened from Sunday til Tuesday except two doctors and a palpating patient.

During the course of Monday and Tuesday I had to do a CXR for two doctors. I had just done a whole stack of HSA CXR (they only need the PA and no lateral) so I forgot about doing a lateral for the first doctor and was going to go check the film when he commented,
"Oh, so you're not going to do a lateral?". I froze in mid-stride and hastily replied,
"Uhmm actually yes I'm going to do that now..."

For the second doctor I remembered to do a lateral, but before I could open my mouth he said,
"Oh yes, so you'll go and check those films now?" [Gah...]

So, that's the two doctors, and now for the palpating patient.

I had been positioning this woman for her shoulder, telling her to shuffle a bit to her left etc., when she suddenly turned around and started firmly palpating MY shoulder and telling me where the pain was. O.o" It was so sudden that the PDY girl and I were both startled.
