Vampy's Weblog - Life of a Medical Officer

He's a mystery cos' we knew there is suppose to be another S'pore guy doing to same course here but none of us knew who he was... and finally today, we met him. There's going to be a picnic this Sunday for all S'poreans doing the course and I'll take some pics as videos as well. So look out for it in the coming week or so.

The village I'm staying at is getting more and more crowded. In fact today, we had a village sort of a gathering here. Of course, what's a party without drinks? So forgive me if what I'm typing here today doesn't make any sense... Workload here is manageable at least for now and my tut group is great and everyone tries to help each other. Take care everyone!

Yup, it's the end of my first week of my course here in Sydney. So far so good... Lots of reading up and will be going to the hospital tommorrow again. But also had loads of fun with my coursemates so far as evidently from the pics we took during this first week... So head down to my gallery section and have a look...

Hi! It's been 3 days since uni started. And talk about info overload. They told us so many admin stuff, course info that I think I only got like 20% of what they said. I got to know some of my other classmates and some of them are friendly and some are well not. I also went to the hospital that I was assigned to today. I have to get up bloody early on my hospital days (like at 5.45am) just to make sure we can get to the hospital before 8am. But the hospital staff are quite nice and friendly. Well, too tired to think right now. Will write more towards the end of the week...

Hi! Happy Chinese New Year to all! May all your wishes be fulfilled! I went for dinner with my fellow coursemates yesterday night and we had great fun! Have a look at the pic we took during dinner.

Hi! I have finally uploaded the video I took of Sydney. It's a 23 minute video showing the sites and sounds of Sydney. It's rather large in size though. It's about 113MB. You will need Divx 5.0 and above codec to view the file as I use the codec to compress it.

Hi! I have just finsih uploading the photos which I took in Sydney onto my website gallery section. Head down there and have a look. If you want, please leave comments behind. Well, not much happening around here. I'm just waiting for term to start... So till next time...

G'day! Yup all my roommates are in already. 3 aussies (2 gals and 1 guy), 1 korean(gal) and myself. Haven't really had a "group" meeting yet cos everyone's still busy. Also, met 3 other first year med students yesterday (2 from Singapore and 1 from Argentina). Great! We went out and helped them get some of their stuff.

The video is almost ready, all I need to do is just to encode it. The photos will be up by this weekend I think. I'm really happy with the results I got from my digital camera. See you all later...

Yup, I got my new computer yesterday afternoon and spent the rest of the day installing the necessary software. But I still can't download mails from non-uni email accounts. Must be the stupid firewall and proxy of the uni. So me have to forward mails to my uni account until I can figure out how to download mails directly. Sigh.... Love my new computer. A 17" LCD monitor. Cool!
