The Aboriginal in me

We have recently gone on a 'Australian indigenous experience' here in Melbourne, as a part of our course to understand the aboriginal's history and their health. My thought is that it is a biased argument that they put up. Unwilling to change and refusing help.

Today as I ran, thoughts streamed through my mind, I asked myself. Who am I to judge. I've been resistive to changes like them, asking for help and yet not wanting to get out of the old self. I am still around because God's love is unconditional.

So be fair, love equal.

1. They said, 'with hardship, grow wisdom'. Literally. In the midst of my job-seeking, my wisdom teeth have tried their very best to mess around. Those 2 on my left upper and lower jaw, well done! Mummy loves the pain you're causing. 2. I have recently grown a fond heart towards rides. I mean taking the car, cruising down long long roads. Of course, on the passenger seat. 3. Over the years, i have picked and dropped some habits. Picked up running, dropped drawing. Picked up long hair, dropped the macho-ness. Picked up boyfriends, dropped all. 4. Oh people, stop the matchmaking game.

Major block

I am currently writing cover letters to all hospitals that I am applying for an internship. One of which requires me to describe a key formative experience during my undergraduate years and state why. And it shouldn't be longer than half a page. That's one whole big block of stories from the past 4 years, and I'm only allowed to pick one, write it in half a page. See, i can easily write this post, but have sat here for the past 3 hours trying to recall A FORMATIVE EXPERIENCE and yet to get it penned down. 夭寿啊.

Play me a song

I meant to write a proper post, I just needed a trigger, and I got one today. Love is commitment. The bible says in Philippians 1:9- that your love may keep growing in knowledge and insight. I have this old lady sitting in my ward, with very deformed hands from rheumatoid arthritis (literally those you see on textbooks). She came in with a fall and her husband couldn't cope at home because he just had a stroke some time ago. She had a fall and fractured her back, so from the day she came in, I see her struggling till today that she could finally stand and walk steps. I saw her husband visiting her everyday. Whenever he leaves, he gives her a hundred kisses all over like they're never seeing each other again. This is what she told me today and it broke my heart. 'George just left to the rehab centre where he recovers from his stroke. You see, he told me he is only hanging on because he wants to take me home and plays me a song on the piano like how he used to.'

看懂么？

1。 医学生有个样。成群结队走在一起，其实分不清楚谁是谁。如果大家要一起去面试，我想大家都不会分别太多。 所以你说， 在僧多粥少的情况下，谁能带回养家的那口饭？ 2。 创世纪，上帝造光，是给人希望。小女我在马来西亚见光就闪人。在这里， 阳光是种奢侈。如果睡醒看到太阳，心里一阵温暖。 3。 最近发现，能跟你同钢共苦的人少，能为你快乐而一起庆祝的人更是稀有。

Blindspot oh Blindspot

Do you ever feel like biting yourself because of the bad consequence after a moment of irrational thought? I'd done one today.

Today, I decided to take my housemate's car to the hospital. I was pretty proud that I reached safely, and not to mention that this is the first time I drive in melbourne. Anyhow, I found a good parking spot and decided to challenge myself with a reverse parking.

Long story short, it ended with a bang and a crashed tail-light. Now I'm indebted, with a crushed confidence. Oh well.

Fishies

Good morning Melbourne, another bright day as I wriggled my toes underneath the duvet.

I've been trying to settle in since reaching Melbourne. The city has given its warmest welcome by showing us radiant sunshine and cool breezes. Or its really just because I BRING SUNSHINE TO PLACES, I KID YOU NOT. it happened in my last visit to sydney which they had that few days of good weather when I was there.

Had a good look at Clayton campus and learnt to play tennis. Realised Maria sharapova's sexy groans are not done on purpose. The racquet is that heavy, the court is so huge. Didnt know i was burnt until i showered and my calves were painful with a stocking line. But I'll be back for many rounds again trust me.

Other than that, oh how I missed my girlfriends. The past 4 months of deprivation, meeting them for one day was never enough. Fuzzy.

Anyway, had a good look at the Australian cohort of 350 people, oh fishies in this small pond, we're all stuck and chasing after the one small chunk of food dropped here. Intimidated.

Oh yea, I've read through the comments in my previous posts, and I never knew I actually have readers. :) thank you so much, though I do not know who you are, I feel loved. Say hi, I want to know you, alright.
