Celebration- Disaster- for Vanessa

Saturday was Chanel's Birthday =) The 5 IMU girls initially planned on going on a Cruise from Darling Harbour, which was supposed to be on a discounted fare for international students. Only $15 for the cruise and refreshments. Too bad the ticketing office is located at Sydney Central, and Christine has been posted to St. Vincent hospital in the city, could not find time to buy the tickets for us, nor did Chanel & I, who have been posted to the Prince of Wales Hospital at Randwick, have the time to travel to the city to get the tickets. Soooo, in the end, the fancy plan was gone. CAPUT! Hahaha, this word reminds me of Dr. Vu from the anatomy lab who defined the term in his very own way. He's one of the coolest and most intimidating lecturer/ doctor whom I've ever met. He said, "Oh, fuck that institute. I really hated all the fucking bastards..." I was stunned.

Anyways, in the end, Christine, me and the birthday girl went down to the city to have a fancy lunch at the Hurricane, Harbourside, Darling Harbour. Baldeep and Ufairah couldn't make it. 

Hurricane's signature pork ribs.

BBQ Chicken.

Chanel & Christine.

Me!

Then, we walked from Darling Harbour to Hay Street for COLD ROCK! I think this is the best ice cream parlour ever! They can mix anything (snacks, fruits, toppings...) into any flavour of ice cream. 

We were a little tired from all that walking, under the heat, so we headed home. While waiting for the bus...

Belmore Park. It's not as fancy as Hyde Park, or Centennial Park, but it was quite a sight too =) The subject was in the lithotomy position, hehehe.

Why celebrate the birthday in the afternoon but not at night? Voon Sien's birthday is on the next day, and he was having a birthday dinner at Darling Harbour on that night. I couldn't make it for his dinner in the end because...

Atopic urticaria.

See, Voon Sien, i'm not lying! It's really getting worse. Sorry!

Anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHANEL!!!

Sunday's Voon Sien, aka Shane's birthday. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, VOON SIEN!!! We'll dine again another time, so sorry!!!

My apartment, which is located at Kingsford, also, the foot end of the hill on which UNSW is situated. Well, the medical faculty is located at the Upper Campus, and the Prince of Wales is located even further up. I really wanted to get a place near my campus, so I won't have to climb up the hill everyday, too bad, couldn't find any in time. So, I settled further down at Kingsford. Yes, it's a little far from the Med campus. I have to walk about 20 minutes, uphill, to reach my campus, another 7 minutes to the hospital. But, the place is brand new, we have our famous Anzac Parade that's full of restaurants with meals at student prices, many convenient bus stops, and I have Christine who stays 2 minutes walk away from me! I take the walks as a part of my fitness regime, sometimes I do that several times a day if I have to.

That's all for now. This is all for you, VAN! Wallce Wurth (my campus) and Anzac Parade is up next! Ok, gotta read up on the abdominal anatomy for lab tomorrow, damn those UNSW students, they are really good with their anatomy. When it comes to pathology, IMU students are way more superior, hehehe.

Peace out!
