at the end of yr, we will have the ICE(intergrated clinical exam) something like OSCE but they expect you to know more ( of course) they will ask impromptu questions. also we need to hand in portfolio of what have we been doin for this year.
the ICE and portfolio has greater weightage. Here their grading is P+, P, P- and fail. getting HD (high distinction) for your overall will earn you Honours which ofcourse may give you some edge in employment stage but...as the Resident, Allen who has been very helpful to us in St Vinnes says, there's always a way around (HD is not a must)
So enjoy my pictures..... :D
To mom: hehe now u can see how do my place look like.
Clock wise from top left:
-My room: 2 weeks ago
-Outside my apartment
-the slope of middle street, which I have to climb to get back home from Anzac Parade. (scary huh)
-I wonder who will stand on the wall.
-The view from my room.
-From Kennedy Street to my apartment is another steep slope again :P Imelda and landlord in the foreground.
-Unsw library building from my place backlane.
*Over here, sometimes you will see a pair of shoes tie together by shoe laces hanging over the cable (or maybe some other stuff, who knows?) around your place….hehe great sabotaging.
I was always confused by their taxi and police car. Aren’t they alike?
Anzac Parade is just a slope (downwards) from my place. It has lotsa Asian restaurants and minimarket.
I can take any 39 bus to the city and St Vinnies Hospital ( Ya, they call it St Vinnies instead of St Vincent)
I don’t have much photos of UNSW.
I can assure u UNSW is much bigger than that
CLockwise:
1.On the top left is the space in front of the medicine and medical sciences
2.The quadrangle lawn in front commerce building where there were 2 girls sitting. Lot of people will gather there during school days,read, eat , talk or SLEEP on the lawn.
3. The Uniwalk towards Anzac Parade
4. The Commerce building
5. Lawn infront of Medicine
6. Quadrangle at another angle.
7. Why is law building so NICE?!!!
Kensington campus is divided into Upper and Lower Campus literally. To go to Upper campus you need to climb up slopes and stairs along the way. Not too bad though.
What we have been cooking and eating out.
-Eating at Big johns ( did u open it john? And why do u call urself big john?).
-Restaurant here serve plain water in glass bottles like that.
-Lotsa Asian Restaurants along Anzac Parade, got Honey wok , Shanghai Noodle shop. -Portion is very big, can share btw 2 for one Food ave like meal.
-We made sushi and soba at Jac’s place. A very filling meal.
-We had a pot luck at sarah’s place
-Aporto is a popular Portugal fast food chain in Sydney.
15th day of lunar new year. We had dinner at Jacqueline’s place. Jac’s john ( not steph’s john :P)
John is the main chef of the day. Cooking all his Hongkie Style Dishes. Not a bad attempt. I especially like the one with Mushroom and Dark Sauce. Got omellete, Touxi Pork, Luncheon meat, Cauliflower.etc. It is a damn filling meal. With desserts after that: tang yuan, soya and longan jelly, lemon tea toast and fruits. Didn’t manage to fry the nian gao due to some incident ( the fire alarm went off due to excess smoke from the inappropriate way of frying).
Instead we fried it on the Sushi day. I made it the Big Aunt’s way. I still remember last time she used popiah skin to wrap the nian gao slices and fry them. So I do the same. Bought popiah skin from asian minimart. Use egg white as the glue to stick the skin. Hehe, the result: golden crispy nian gao popiah.
Group picture from left: me, yonxian, Imelda, jac, john, Sandy and boyfriend, Andra with Kevin at the back. John, Jac, Sandy and Boyfriend, Kevin are all Civil Engineering Graduates. Andra is a Interior Architectural student whom Kevin is interesting in ( I guess :P)
We accompany Jac to Paddington to seek inspiration for her assignment ( some Abstract Space Thingy) near COFA
We took the COFA bus (COFA = college of fine arts) of UNSW fr Wallace Wurth Building (med fac building)
This is the bus I take every day to St Vinnies. It take around 20 min to reach Cofa campus. And it’s 10 min walking distance to St Vinnies.Most importantly, it's FREE. over here 10 bus trips cost around Aus23 dollars ( if you buy the prepaied Travel 10 ticket)
we went to some path and grass infront of the Army Barracks. Took quite a lot of Artsy Fatsy Photos.
There’s this one weekend night , jac and john brought us to city and we walk around the street and the Famous Darling Harbour. It’s like the Clark Quay of Singapore wit lotsa pubs and disco but it’s 10X nice. No pic as it’s quite hard to take one at night. It’s like combo of smaller version of klcc park + clark quay + mini version of Sydney harbor bridge and ships and yatch along the harbor+ lotsa hot chicks in spaghetti strap empire cut short dress and high heels. ( all of them dress the same)
I went for the city tour organized by the the Malaysian Society. The committees are all very friendly & warm people which u expect them to be ( just like those people who have come back from overseas). Which add on to my doubt of “ why is UNSW medical students or maybe australians not as friendly and warm as I thought angmoh would be.
Clock wise from top left: Central Station. QVB, Their Monorail, Hyde park ( lotsa pigeons), City Central, Sydney town hall (where we are goin to meet the Lord Mayor), me at the railway station bus stop- a modern architecture of metallic and glass that incorporated the spirit of the nature: earth, air blah blah blah.etc ( didn’t have the full pic of it) , the junction where all the cars will stop at the same time from all directions and you can juz walk to anywhere. Eg diagonally. Cool right!
QVB = Queen Victoria Building. Heard that it’s owned by Malaysian. How could that be? It’s like a Landmark of the City. Why is Malaysian owning it….Gotta find out more about it. The building is a classic: carpeted, sculpted, painted glass,posh. The clock will ring at a certain interval. There are grand pianos at every level which will play by itself at certain time. It’s like the classic version of hmm….Starhill Gallery. There is a sculpture of QV in front of the building….and it’s along the George St.
Last Sunday, we went to Maroubra Beach. Jac Said it’s less crowded here than the more famous Bondi Beach. I have been to Redang, Desaru, Sentosa Island, Manukan Island, this is the nicest beach I have ever seen, (pardon my limited exposure to beach)
The sand is not as soft and white as some beach. But I like the place: long stretch of beach, clear blue sky, cool breeze, some houses and cliffs at the background. Got surfing hunks too. Not much chicks though ;D
Gonna go for the SYdney Harbour Bridge 75th Anniversary Celebration in city later. We have signed up for the bridge walk at the 6-630pm slot. the weekend after i register, the spaces finished d. There's gonna be a big crowd and they open the bridge for people to walk through the whole day. so we gonna take a train to north sydney and walk to THE ROcks at the south sydney.
Will post picture soon once my internet connection is ready in around 1 week time. ciao.
