Welcome

Actually I have to say I am a very lucky student to get into this Department working with the team. My research project is about Dietary Intervention in Improving Insulin Sensitivity in Overweight/obese Adolescent.

All the kids I see are at risk of developing Diabetes at this young age due to many reasons. Therefore, we are trying to help them modified their lifestyle (diet, exercise) to reduce their weight and hopefully this will improve their insulin sensitivity and prevent them from getting Diabetes.

My research lab is located in well-known Children Hospital Westmead (CHW)- picture showed the logo of the hospital. Many kids from different states were sent here by helicopter to see the specialist. All the professionals worked here are very P.R.O!!! extremely confident. plus very knowledge! It is a great place for my student placement.

Now let's talk about my supervisor, Dr Sarah Garnett. She is one of the very very nice, easy going, friendly lady that I have ever met. She reminds me of my supervisor in my previous clinical placement Anne Swain. They both very good in giving positive reinforcement and very welcome ppl. I can feel quite relax when I m with them. They gave me a warmth welcome and always willing to help me, give me opportunity etc. Sarah introduced me to every single person in the Research Department including the head of the department. To be honest, that s very great, because the research department is extra ordinary huge! Many many ppl... Sarah is a very well-known researcher, she is very very good in writting and communicating. She is very famous in the Department, she is one the top in the department, everybody walk pass her will have some pro Qs to ask her or they will chat with her (this show how everyone love her so much). She is very efficient and able to attend at least one meeting a day but still get her job done. She is the only one in the office stay for after hour and come early (so I can stay longer sometimes) =P

My project's team members also very willing to help me and teach me every single thing patiently. They are extremely organised and all very nice ppl. =) Sometimes just make me feel so not want to leave the office.

第二天

下雨了。
不是天空，
是我的眼睛。
大概是我的脑袋意识到我的眼睛肮脏了。
是时候大扫除了。
让我的眼睛过一过水
清洗一下。

看的东西也比较清晰。
看到了，
其实，

这里只有自救。

Start again

Today is the first day of university for my last semester of Nutrition and Dietetics course. Excited to see everyone is back. today is more or less like an intro to our research project assignment. After the intro, some of us went out for lunch. I talked to most of the ppl in the class today. I talked to Sharon the whole day.
** one of my high school fren said I become more talkative recently. and asked what changed me? I didn't change to a brand new sheau kang. I jz try to change back to the old me back in high school, where i used to be so talkative

Went to Sharon's house after lunch. Albert join the trip too. Oh yea, not to forget to mention we bought bubble tea after lunch. Played with Momo and Eski for the whole afternoon. Great to see Momo again, still playful like last time. And nice to meet Eski, a shy little boy who loves his food. Sharon sent me home to burwood and she offered me to stay together. To be honest, I do feel tempted to go back with her. I won't feel the loneliness at her place even though we don't communicate at home. Also, her house wasn't that messy as here especially the toilet. And of course the rent is cheaper.

At the end, I can't really make any decision but I guess I will stay at where I am for the time being. I do appreciate Sharon willing to stay with me again. However, moving around is not as easy as it sound. Plus, the semester start already. I have lots to work on, especially my writting skill. Otherwise, will be in big trouble. Sharon did point out that if I move over, it will just 3-4 months time. is it worth it to move around and all the hassle just for the short period? I think I will stay here and visit her occasionally. Oh yea, we are in the same hospital doing research so, will hv more chance to meet up and chat.


Everything, there are pros and cons. That's why life is all about making decision. And prioritise is the key in making decision. And as long as we don't feel any regret at the time fo making the decision. Even after we made the decision and we then realise it wasn't the best choice, we just have to remind ourself, we did not regret at the time of making decision, so, why now we would?
Let's learn to accept the end result of ur decision with a positive thinking, of course.

Lowering Blood Pressure

Reducing sodium intake isn't the only way to lower blood pressure- increasing your potassium intake also does wonders. The reseachers found that increasing potassium intake while at the same time reducing sodium intake is more effective at lowering blood pressure than either on its own. You can boost ur potassium intake by including more bananas, tomatoes, potatoes, low fat dairy, and fish in your diet.

雨天

我离开Sydney前，天天下雨。
据说，我离开Sydney的那一个月没有下雨了。
我回来后，Sydney又开始下雨了。


我和水太有缘分了。
很可惜，我不喜欢雨天。

既然，我改变不了天气，就尝试改变我的心情吧。
懒洋洋的，也不错~

1st Day of Working - 血光之兴

Finally start working as usual. Initially was kinda afraid to start working but on the way to work, I met one of our regular customer and we talked happily, So, it gets me started to warm up and get ready for work.

My bossES (two of them) welcomed me back warmly :) their smile and welcome words just make me relieve. Then, my work"mate", she doesn't want to go back to uni too (same as me). I am afraid to go back, maybe coz I am not used to study life. Anyway, I know I will get through it, just like how I walked into my pharmacy and feel welcome.

I cut myself during work, very clever *clap clap clap* how I did it? easy, just scratch ur hand over the cellofin tape's stand. B.L.E.E.D. Stupid right. *hurray* lets celebrate Sheau Kang back to work with red colour~ However, there is no 花圈，only bandage to wrap over.

Plus, another present from my bosses- a big bag of 金桔 (祝你：新年快乐，万事如意）
=D

Oh yea, I heard a news from my high school fren, he is in Sydney working now! Don't know why, just simply feel excited :) Welcome to Sydney, mate!
