unfinished business...

Rily starting to enjoy my stay here in Perth!
Colleagues here r very lovely ppl and management staffs r very accomodating!
Getting used to the radiologists here as well.
Went to another branch for the 1st time ever...LOVED IT!
Staff there r alil blardy nice!
Feels appreciated!
Eventhough the patient list was crazy and inpatients were OLD...
Everyone helped me so much. Met another Malaysian guy in the branch. A radiographer. Didn't rily talk much wif him. Everytime we get into a conversation we will be interupted...either he is needed in xray or I was needed at the reception. Rily would like to hav a good chat wif him. Seems like a nice guy. Duno y I can't stop thinking abt him thou. 24/7. It's like a feeling of something unfullfilled... Something tat I need to do! But don't think I will hav the chance to fullfill tat now...coz don't think I will b scheduled to tat hospital anymore...sigh...

Went to an annual dinner on Saturday.
Greek restaurant.
Food is weird...just canapes, nothing special...
Did my very own MAKEUP for the 1st time ever! Quite a good 1 I would say...proud of myself!
All thanks to YOU TUBE!
Haha...
had a great nite of champagne and dancing!
No hang over!
Which was such a surprise rily...since the next day I had to meet up wif a fren,J, for breakfast.
We went to Spice Express on Sunday. Had chicken briyani n it was not too bad. The curry puff definately tasted so much better comparing to the last time I was there. We talked abt work work n work. Listening to wat he has to do during his training is JIALAT.
Went to my favorite hang out place next, UTOPIA!
For bubble tea of coz!
Chatted again...this time abt travelling to Japan. Haha...made me feel like going Japan now...ermmm...but radiation hmm...nah...Mayb not now...Haha...
Sat there for almost an hr I think.
Then went home. Sat in the car for again almost an hr to chat abt everything now... Didn't wana invite him up to the small n ugly unit tat I'm renting...abit paiseh ler...Haha...the car was more comfy anyway...rily enjoyed the morning brunch...
Shld rily do it more often wif everyone!
Got home at around mid afternoon, slept the whole afternoon just because...Haha...

Ohya, haven't been going to the gym for almost a week liao!
Not good....rily not good...gona get into routine again this week.
Crossing my fingers...

From Perth!

Cambridge Forum International Food Court

a feast during previous trip to Perth
wahahahaha....
It is situated in the middle of the city...sort of...
The name is ord self explanatory...INTERNATIONAL foods!!!!
There is a particular stall in this food court tat has put some sort of SPELL onto me...
Went there the last time when I was in Perth. MW and EN brought me and PC to this place and we had a BIG FEAST!

This time when I came back to Perth I have been CRAVING to go back to the food court to hav the dimsums!!!
The char siu soh....yums...all the usual dim sum tat I will usually order when I am back in Msia!
Went there last Monday but it was CLOSED!!!!
jialat!
closed every Monday and I ended up buying this stupid vegetarian fried rice tat was soooooooooooooo yucky n NOT WELL WORTH the money Ive paid for...
I sort of knew tat it would not taste good when I saw the chef...
but I pitied her and just ordered something.
Crossed my fingers hoping tat she would surprise me...when I saw the fried rice, my eyes were CROSSED!
didn't even need to taste it to know it was yucky!

So this time when I went back to the food court...I made sure it was NOT MONDAY and tat the dim sum place was open!


I went there during lunch time today.
Walked nearly 2km from my work place and back...
So, 4 km in 30mins!
Boy was I quick!!!

I was sooooooooooooo happy when I saw the dim sums...wanted to buy EVERYTHING!!!
I had to control myself when the lady asked me wat I wanted...haha...
so I bought 3 things...

1. Chan Pau
2. Char siu soh
3. Juin tui wif lotus paste (my favourite)

Couldnt wait til I walked back to work...Had the juin tui on the way back and I near fainted!!!!

sooooooooooooooooooooooo gooooodddddddddddddddd!!!!
Did not eat this the last time I was here....
jialat good man...

Then when I finally reached work again, I had the char siu soh...OMG!!!!!
seriously...$4.50 for each plate which consists 3 pcs of every thingy...

IT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOO WORTH IT!!!
I would go for this over a sausage roll anytime!!!! (well erm...i never liked sausage rolls anyway)
I would go for this over ANYTHING actually!!!!!
hahaha
so YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

now I think I cannot resist myself from going there everytime I work in the city....
plenty of parking....2 kms away....good food...arghhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE IT LOVE IT!!!

I've been reading through my blogs and I realised tat initially the blog was to tel how much I am enjoying my locum journey n not talk much abt my work but I've ended up blogging more on my whinging abt work here!
Paisehnyer... Ok I guess this IS a work travel journey...if I don't talk abt my work, there nothing rily to tall abt anyway...Haha...
So, I am correcting myself...n telling u tat this blog is abt my WORK life as a locum!

TGIF

Thought I will nvr say the 4 words...THANK GOD IT'S FRIDAY!!!
or even the 6 words...OH MY GOD IT'S MONDAY TOMORO!!!
I dont think EVER in my life in OZ I hav ever said those words...
I've never rily felt my work is a JOB that I HAV to go do...but more like a DAY tat I jus enjoy...
well there r ups and downs in my work tat sometimes I feel like I wana stay home and do nothing but never rily DREAD going to work like wat I am experiencing now!
Everyday when I wake up at 6 am to get ready to go to work, I keep on asking myself....y JESSE y???!!
Hoping for it to be a better day everyday for the past 2 weeks!
I have only been working for 2 weeks and ord I'm winging so much!!!
Still have 15 more weeks to go!!!
Erm...shld b alrite I think...well, it has been getting better and better each day...
I have gone pass the phase where I dislike the female radiologists...well at least 1 of them I have gained her trust in my scanning skills but not the other 1...she acts like a SPOILT PRINCESS...such an emotional person for a professional person!
duno how her husband or bf can stand her...so ERRATIC!!!
The machines that they use here r all Phillips IU22 and TOSHIBA...HATE THEM HATE HATE HATE!!!!
I miss my GEs and SIEMENs....
duno how any sonos can see anything wif those machines!!!
Wel they r good for small parts la...but definately not for pelvic or OBS scans at all!!!
struggle like siao wif the IU22... havent done any MORPH wif the TOSH yet...hmm...
and bcoz the machines tat I am using here are quite crappy to me, they make me STRESS!!!
cuz I am not seeing clear enough to say this and that!
with the GEs, I can confidently say yes this and yes that anytime!!!
I am actually spending the FULL 30 mins scanning time that is allocated bcoz I am taking all the time there is to scan over and over again just to make sure!
IT IS SO TIRING AND STRESSFULL!!!!
Jialat!!!
next locum tat i go do, I have to make sure they hav GEs or SIEMENs b4 actually saying yes to the locum.
But at the end of EACH WEEK when i see my bank account, I FEEL BETTER all over and ready to start the week again!!!
hahahaha....seriously wat else am I doing this for?! IT IS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY I CAN GRAB while locuming!
I am only doing this for 1 year, so my aim is to make as much money as I can. I am still young and shld b able to handle a little stress like this!
I CAN DO IT!!!
GAMBATE JESSE!!!

Into 2nd week

Work has been quite stressful. Thought it would b easier and not as hectic but I was wrong...
VERY WRONG!
Has been working in SJoGM. Very tiring...
Not bz at all but just tiring...
very draining...
I'm doing more of other things rather than jus scanning!
Back in cairns, I am jus scanning.
But here, I need to give A LOT OF ATTENTION to my patients!
Reason? They all too pampered!
Rily sucking the life out of me!

Today is the 3rd day into the 2nd week.
Well, I would say it is getting better.
Met a couple of radiologists here. Everyday different radiologists...
There r 2 female radiologists here...the highlights of the team...both specializes in pediatrics.
Worked wif 1 of them today... Not as bad or as scary as wat every1 has been saying she is... She is actually very frenly and nice. I had a full lists of ped scans today, she came in wif me for 1 hip scan only and then she trusted everything I scanned... Wahahaha... So I had a good day actually...

2 more days in Murdoch and then I will b everywhere starting from next week. Not looking forward to the driving around.

Will be working every Saturday from now on til end of Sept.
5 hrs on Saturday. Jus to earn enuf money for shopping!
No 1.5 X rate though. Jus a fixed rate tat we've agreed wif...

Still cannot cook properly. I think I need to go to either Target or Big w to buy a non stick pot or wok... Cannot even fried an egg!

Joined a gym here last Sunday. 10mins drive from my place here. Abt 20 mins from work. Gym wif a pool... Heated pool!
Went twice only so far. Hav to go more often...

Sleeping very early every nite. 9.30pm. If I slp abit later, I can't wake up the next morning! Jialat...

kk...its 8pm liao...better to hang up the uniform to dry n then get ready to slp...

Attachments

Have been attached to other sonos for the past 1 week. Getting bored! Jialat.
It feels so weird now tat when they need fit ins they don't come me to u but other sonos.
SO WEIRD!
All my life as a SONOGRAPHER, I hav always needed to fit in patients but now tat I am in a MORE established and MORE organized place, there r sooooo many MORE experienced sonos.
WEIRD! but good.
Means tat I do not need to scan as many patients. 30 mins appt for a 7.5hr day...not bad eh...abt 15 patients per day!

Nearly had an argument wif another sono here. But I gav her the credit if the more experienced one n did not argue any longer wif her. It was abt an angle correction for a doppler scan. Jialat! I say it was parellel but she said it was not, saying tat my angle needs to b turned up...but then it would be more 60degs liao?!
Jialat! And she kept on saying ya...so? Watde...I knew it was gona b a problem wif me scanning coz she has her angle ALL above 60 anyway!
So bcoz the scan was gona b under her name, I did not argue wif her no more. She is the MORE senior 1 after all...

Attaching wif a male sono yesterday was great!
He looked like my sifu,SAS.
Well, of coz still no one beats SAS but he was almost as good!
The radiologists trust his scans!
But 1 thing very weird was he did not need to write a lot of his worksheets...he just need to go talk to the rad abt it and tats it!

Did not cook yesterday, had KFC instead! All the fast foods are just next door...u name it, its there...KFC, McDonald's, hungry jacks, red rooster, etc...Jialat!
Cannot cannot....
Still hav a lot of veges in the fridge tat I need to eat...must gambate to eat them...Haha...

Everyday driving home from work passingby the river, the view is AWESOME!
If I drive home at abt 5pm, the sun is JUS abt to set, the egg yooo is magnificient! Going to try to snap some pictures later. Hopefully I can snap while driving! Haha...
Dangerous....

Ok, time to go to work liaoa...

7.13am
