BUSY week back in Sydney

Awww man there's so much I want to say but NO TIME throughout the week!!! Make use of this Saturday night since I'm not on tomorrow, dear "haha" kindly offered to play since I have to play next week and lead worship the following.. I'll make it a quick summary,more photos when I go over to Fiona's place for faster uploading!

Its been busyness since I got back to Sydney! Want to post the photos of my last day in Singapore with the 2 families, earthly and spiritual!

Tuesday: Clean room, Hehe (fiona) & Haha (priscilla) helped me reorganize things.. took photos in remembrance of the occasion!

This is one side of my room with the cupboard and stuff, with the two "hehe haha" duo threatening me if I mess up my room.. so fierce..







Arvo: Coles!!!(Local supermarket) to buy my favourite bread.. Helga's sunflower honey and oat bread and Sanitarium's So good Omega3- women's essential soy milk..
No.. I'm not endorsing them.. they're just healthy and yummy..Mum agrees with me.. she bought back 5 loaves to Singapore last time.


Wednesday:
Back to work. Over slept as I couldn't sleep the night before, used to sleep at 2am Singapore time staying up to chat with Mr Inky Doo, Guppy and Mervy from Island Hope.. Bedtime in Sydney is 11pm Sydney = 9pm Singapore! how to adjust!?
First day back: GI meeting! and heaps of foods to get organised for the kitchens. Hand out presents and found out that Kathleen is leaving, going to work for johnson&johnson.. sobz....

Arvo: Jogging with Kim kim, yeah! Back to my Glebe trail .. much easier to breathe.. hardly any perspiration all evaporated!

Pizza with Huhu (michael munkey tan) for dinner and catching up. He's been up to designing a fantastic website for his dad's business and also for the multicultural night coming in August our out reach event! Live music that night!

Thursdays:
Full-on clinic day. I had 16 patients booked in! AHHHH!!!see lah go on holiday.. next available appointment on the 18th of September! Siao liao!
Switch back to Aussie accent, one patient said I sound like a yankee??!!
So happy, 3 of my patients lost weight!!!
Saw my youngest patient ever! A 9 year old with high cholesterol, reckon its most probably genetic since he's normal weight for height!
And also a case that was out of my league.. Gallbladder problems with events that seem like a mini-infarct?? Besides low fat diet and a cholecystectomy(removal of the gall bladder) of which is not up to me to perform I can't think of what else to say? heard of foods causing body odour? told the patient I'll get back to her after I consult a specialist dietitian on food allergies and intolerances.

My consultation room : Took this between patients! I share this room with Dr R, he has heaps of stuff in his room. The weighing scales at my feet, a dietitian's essential tool!

After that met up with Dave R, Fearless leader Jack, Hehe & Haha, Rindy, Little Potato and Hammy to go to Fox Studios The Comedy Store to watch the Tripods!.

Comments: The first two stand-up comedians, let's say they stooped to the lowest form of trying to be funny using foul language and sex jokes. I think I need cleansing and the renewal of the mind after that!!
Thank God the main performers the Tripods; male trio that sings their comedy were really good. Excellent harmonies, the tallest guy plays the guitar and has a falsetto to rival the dude from beegees!
They sang songs like "the hotdog man" a regular good man who then suddenly turns into a Dr Jekyll Mr Hyde character!
Their repertoire included a song about cowboys, "Lingering dad" and the funniest was the "X-box" song which places the singer as a character who sings to his girlfriend to romance her but then keeps telling her to hang in there as he needs to complete another "stage" aka gaming!!then punch line of " this X-box is the best gift I got for u!" funny!

Friday:
Nearly didn't make it in time for work given the late time I slept!
Beautiful morning.. this is the view I get enroute in Sydney uni.
