decisions
So venerable asked me for the third time to see if I wanted to teach at the tuition classes at monastery again..
Should I? Or should I not?
Also.. I'm thinking about starting a humble little beauty channel on Youtube for the fun of it.
Should I? Or should I not?
You see, this is what happens when I have too much time in my hands. ):
I even tried to paint for the first time in 3yrs... don't judge me. I'm just an amateur. I promise I'll try to improve! You know what, I should also grab myself a tablet so I don't have to draw on paper or canvases... but then again, maybe not... because the traditional way is more fun even though it's messy..
yeah.. this took me an hour or two and I have no idea where I got the inspiration from so don't ask. I guess it's a pretty common theme though.. the sky and trees.. it's pretty much overdone so not much to say about that.
mm..I should really go do something productive..
Well first thing's first: Must get my P's so that I can get around easier.
And I'm still waiting for replies from UNSW or USYD!
This is making me anxious..
D:
Oh! Did I mention that my dad and brothers have arrived in Australia with their goodies? They landed at 9pm on the 12/01.
So finally I can start putting together the photos for my China journal. yayyyyy~
Anyways, I'm off for a nap!
Toodlesss~
Sky High/Pretty Pictures
Now. Before you start throwing bananas at me for updating so slowly, I'd like to apologise with these pretty pictures I took of the sky on my way back from China.
Anddd because my brothers are still in HK, all my stuff has not arrived yet so I can't really do a haul. ):
mm what else..?
I've been so bored lately, that I've started to shop online again.. it's just so addictive because the prices are so much more reasonable than instore retail prices.. but it's still draining from my wallet so I really need to go and start on a tutoring job or something. *sigh.. I have tried. Really I have. ): - Job hunting I mean.
Benson and I have been on the net looking for a worthwhile job all night; because we seriously just cannot stand the 3 months of nothingness anymore. Hopefully the employers will reply with a big smile and an "okay you're in" but that is all we can do really.. I know what you're thinking though. Most people would die for such a long holiday, and you might as well enjoy your life now before uni starts and you start complaining about how hard your life is again, but seriously, when you just end up sleeping at home most of the time, you literally turn into a slug - "use it or you lose it". And instead, most people are out there, making the most out of their days.. and it's actually true when teachers tell us to (don't hurt me) "seize the day".. or else it's really gonna be gone in a split second.
I know I sound a little pessimistic about things but hey, it is 6am in the morning, and I haven't gotten a wink of sleep.. since I have nothing to do all the time, my sleeping pattern's been screwed over also.
Anyways I'm half way through the novel I recently bought in Hong Kong; as I was in a rampage for a good read on the boring subway rides- One Day by David Nicholls. So far, I like it. You can say that I'm kinda biased towards this book as Anne Hathaway is in the film, but really, deep inside I like the content because I can kinda relate - 2 people, a post graduation night and then you get a glimpse of the same day for the next 20yrs. It's not a challenging type of book so I think most people could just sit back and enjoy the issues that happen to many of us after we graduate - the booze, new friends, work, growing up.. all that good/nasty stuff.
Some people might also find it annoying as it becomes extremely cliche at times - but hey, it's all part of the experience right? For post-HSC'ers you might like to grab it and have a read sometimes. Just a warning though, it may seem a little "girly" at times - even though it's written by a dude.
Oh! Another thing. Did I tell you guys that Benson is back from China?
Yeah.. I had to pick him up from the airport at 9am on Friday and I also didn't sleep that night either so I was literally like a zombie at the airport.
But with that aside, since he's back, he's been planning more dates so we could see each other since he feels that we are more "distant" now. I don't think so, but he's just still a little ifty from his trip - cute right? hahahs.
Anyways. I'll leave you guys with our luvo and a picture of the harbour I took, now yesterday before I head to bed.

Last day at the Children's Hospital
i was appointed into the out patients room to entertain all the kids that are either waiting to see a doctor or is signing out of the hospital. our job was either to help them put on tattoos with the permission of their parents, make them balloon animals or just simply encouraging them to do some fun colouring in!the kids there were all very very sweet and very cute.
all the children who wanted tattoos on their little hands were all so happy afterwards. one of the little girl who was merely 1 even blew us kisses as she left! > w <;;
there was one particular little boy who was especially clingy to his sister that began to stare at me as i was putting tattoos on other kids. and when i asked him if he wanted one, he put on the biggest and cutest smile and shyly nodded. but then his sister told him they had to ask mum first and his smile quickly turned into a disappointed frown. but after a moment, he came running back and quickly lifted his sleeve and pointed to his arm where he wanted the tattoo. i asked if his mum allowed him and he happily nodded his head. after a while i also made him a giraffe and he quickly ran towards his mum and showed her. this little blonde boy was extremely cute and his hand was extremely small and warm. actually all the children's hands were tiny and especially warm. children are such innocent, loving creatures who just need that attention and care. no matter how mischievous they are, it is in their nature to be playful. so they all have the ability to become great people in the future and it is only through a lack of love that they start to turn into bad fruits. their smiles from this session has filled my heart with fuzziness and is making my determination to become a doctor stronger.
after saying a sad goodbye to some children, catherine and i was back into the blood cord bank room to sort out files.
lunch was chicken udon and a seaweed salad at some japanese restaurant in randwick. it was very mediocre.
last session was in the starlight express room where i drew pictures and made cards for the patients who came to play.
after that it was back to the conference room where monica signed our forms and gave us our certificates as a appreciation for our help.
overall the hospital experience has opened my eyes to the works of a hospital and has given me a wider perspective of what it takes to become a doctor. It has also made me appreciate my own health as well as the ones of others. When you save a life like the ones of the children i have met during my work at this hospital, the way they can smile and have the ability to live happily gives you the power to feel more alive and willing to take on anything in this world.
I would like to thank the Sydney Children's Hospital for this opportunity. just so that i could see the smiles like the ones of those children again, i will give it more than my all and have the ability and motivation to face all challenges in the future.

work day two.
I helped fairy sparkles for 2 sessions at the hospital garden today. It was very tiring as I had to clean her table and stool set and then washed her pots with Catherine. But it was a worthwhile job as we did get to play with the fairy's little black Pomeranian named Inkling.
Fairy Sparkles is a very kind lady and she has helped many hospitals gain a garden of their own just like this one! You can check her out here. (:
mm we had lunch at some thai/viet restaurant and ordered a bowl of pho and pad thai.
I don't know.. the food was just very average. Can't say much about it. :S
After lunch we went to our final session together with a few nurses and just put together some new born files for expecting mothers! we made a total of 83sets in 30mins! New record! :D
DAY 1 AT WORK AT THE SYDNEY CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL
- slept in because alarm didn't ring- ended up running a marathon to find Catherine in the morning on the other side of the City, but ended up at my starting point once we were on the bus
- got lost inside the hospital so we ran another marathon trying to find the coordinator
- finally found them in a conference room and we ended up being half an hour late, but they haven't explained many procedures so it was alright
- learnt how to make balloon animals! >:D
- went to sort out blood bank files
- had lunch at the Star Cafe : chicken avo sandwich
- entered UNSW Med student reviews on data sheet for doctor
- the doctor then bought ONE purple carrot and offered me half. o.o;
- left and went to shopping at Townhall with Catherine
- met up with Vicky and Michelle
- Dinner at Takeru
- headed to IMAX and watched SUCKER PUNCH: boobs on swords. like seriously. a movie for guys who likes something with hot chicks where they'd fulfill their video game dreams of guns, swords, machines and fighting with short skirts, kinky costumes and chicks with hot bodies.
- Polaroid photos and then Catherine's parents sent me to the station! they're so nice. :D
- SORRY GUYS! I signed a contract saying that I cannot take any photos with patients and cannot tell you guys their amazing stories! I really want to but don't want to get sued so yeah. (:
