Did everybody turn off their lights at 8.30pm yesterday??? It was Earth Hour, one of the best campaign to help climate change. Well daylight savings is over so now its the same time zone as Singapore; so you might see me online more often.

And today I was just looking at my mums side cousin wedding picture, and pictures of my family outing to Malacca. It is when your looking at them, you kind of miss home more. Missing out all the fun. But hey 9 more months.
And I was think about what I wanted to do while waiting for army next year; and I want to go backpacking to different countries, go for a photographic course, go for mission trip, and sponsor a child. I don't think I can sponsor a child now, I think I myself need sponsorship haha. I'm only working 1 day a week and the pay isn't enough for paying my driving lesson and tests. And I need to drive soon.

Jesus, Saviour, pilot me
Over life's tempestuous sea;
Unknowing waves before me roll,
Hiding rock and treacherous shoal;
Chart and compass come from Thee,
Jesus, Saviour, pilot me!

Hey all this week was rather boring, not sure why. But I had 2 test yesterday, Surgical Nursing and Anaesthesia tests. I don't think I did that well for the Anaesthesia test, there was loads of trick questions. And today I had RX Works test (vet software) it was ok for that. Today we had surgery prac, but our patient didn't turn up, so were just sitting, cleaning and making random packs. Pretty boring. Although I did give a Labrador a Hydro-bath haha.

O and guess what, there is like a mass Pilot Whales stranding, 87 in total. Down south of Perth, and I think all the whales died :( how sad. Ok that's just a random info. Don't really have much to talk about actually.

God Bless

Hey everyone, I had no internet for a week, and now its back :) This days technology is so important. Yesterday I had to mail a letter to the Veterinary Surgeons Board, and I was totally lost on how to mail a letter. I had to ask the guy at the post office what I needed to mail the letter haha. That is what happens if you use technology often, mailing letter was like the stone age for me.

I finally stopped Mosman Park vet in Monday, I just told them it was too far to travel; they just said ok. So now I have surgery's on Tuesdays @ applecross and Fridays @ school.
And on Tuesday after Applecross Vet, I was just so tired and grumpy; and that night I slept at 9.30pm, earlier than the kids. And I realised why, cos in the afternoon at Applecross a vet spilled anaesthetic. And anaesthetic vapour was all around the surgery room, so it made me tired and grumpy.
And guess what, today in school during surgery, the vet spilled anaesthetic haha. I was just reading through the signs of anaesthetic exposure and this is what they said; fatigue, sleepiness, headaches, irritability and nausea. And today was pretty full on, a cat spey and the school dog which had a chunk of skin missing from his belly. So 2 surgery in a row, and I had another class at 1.30pm. So didn't have lunch.

And now I'm hungry, and have nothing to eat but chips and chocolate cake. haha and I just went to the gym yesterday :( its going down the drain.

I can't wait for the Sep/Oct holidays to come, Mummy, Daddy Mama and Gu Jie is coming down. And we're going for a road trip down south :) And it will be Spring and whale watching season.

Well that's about it, Claudia come down to Perth so we can shop together. If not we can go Melbourne and shop with Kax and Siyu. haha.

God Bless

Hey Hey guys today was one of my most exciting school day. Today was my class Surgical day, ok well every Friday is surgical day. In my school there is a Vet hospital so its run by the students, and it was my class turn do do surgery. So everyone in the class will have a task to do, and the teacher will be the Vet Surgeon.

So at first I was doing reception duties and surgical gopher. But the Surgeon Assistant had a cut on her hand so she couldn't do a scrub up, and I had to change shift with her. So while they were clipping up the animal (cat spey) I had a meeting with the Vet surgeon, just going through what will happen and blar blar blar. Than I had to scrub up, scrub my hands for 5 mins; each hand 2 1/2 mins haha. Than gown up, wear a mask, shoe cover and hair mat. So after all the scrubbing is done I was the "no touch person" nobody was allowed to touch me hips up, and I can't touch anything which was not sterile. And off we go, the surgery starts.
It was like Grey's Anatomy, I had to stand by the instrument tray and pass the instruments over. So the Vet surgeon would say to me "Scalpel please" and I would find the scalpel and pass it over to her, and I got to cut the uterine horns for her. Cool.
Well it was all going well but the scrub pants that I was wearing was like Aussie size and it was loose, and I took a small pants. So it kept falling down, and half way through the surgery it was really going to drop, so I turned around to one of my friend and ask if they could pull it up for me. And she didn't know what to do, all the nurses didn't know what to do. And we all started to laugh, BTW I'm the only boy in class again. Thank goodness another vet came in and pulled it up for me. Stupid pants so loose.

Well ya exciting ya. The spey went well, the cat is all happy and health and the Vet Surgeon said I did a good job. So we are all happy.

Hey Hey people, guess what I went to the zoo on Sunday after church, hehe. It was so peaceful walking around animals, but it was so hot. One thing I hate about Perth zoo tho is that they use lots of viewing windows, and they don't really clean it, so its all dirty and hard to see. And people vandalise on the window. So I didn't really take pictures of animals which had windows for viewing. They should use moat style exhibits for better viewing and it adds to the more natural look. Anyway I was still fun, I might go back for a visit soon, the new Tasmanian Devil is opening soon. And the Tasmanian Devil is my Top 10 animal list. Haha.

Well it has been really hot the past 3 days, 35 and above, where is autumn?? My fish tank has been over heating and 1 of my tetra had died :(
And guess what I bought myself a stethoscope for school, and I don't know but I think its really cool. I keep listening to my heart beat every now and than when I'm bored, than I listen to my watch, and thought the walls hahaha. But it hurts my ear haha. And I think this Friday will be exciting in school, it will be my groups turn to do surgery for the first time. Means scrubbing up, wearing the mask, scrub top, shoe covers, hair mats and gloves, I'm going to look stupid. And I will have to wash my hands for 5 mins and when I walk my hands can't go below my waist. Going to be fun :)
Well that's about it, nothing much actually.

God Bless

Hey everyone I feel like watching TV now. Its so hard for me to watch TV here, its because the kids will be watching or they are playing their violin or studying. Hopefully I can watch my Private Practice tomorrow night, I like that show, like a mini Grey's Anatomy.

Well today lectures was really boring, I was trying not to fall asleep. The only fun part was when we were dissecting a horse leg, that was pretty fun but super smelly. And I don't think I can go to the park on Fridays to read my book, I have a new class in the afternoon now :( So now I don't really have any free time. I still need to go grocery shopping and I want to go to Perth Zoo to see the new born Red Pandas. And because I have not been grocery shopping, my breakfast has only been weet-bix with out soy milk; and all Aussies know you can't eat weet-bix with out any form of milk. It is just dry and gets stuck all over your teeth. And I also need to find time for my driving lesson.

Anyway here are some movies I want to watch this year:

- Slumdog Millionaire
- Marley & Me
- Chronicles Of Narnia: Voyage Of The Dawn Treader
- Night At The Museum 2
- Transformer 2: Revenge Of The Fallen
- Ice Age 3
- Harry Potter And The Half Blood Prince
- New Moon
- Iron Man 2
- Shrek Goes Fourth
- Cats & Dogs 2

Here you go dad my fish tank, it looks better than the one I set up in Singapore, this tank is a flooded rainforest theme. Cool ay and I positioned it in a way that I can see it when I'm lying on my bed, studying on my desk or just walking pass the door. But now my water is all yellow because of the wood. haha. And I also have 1 Dwarf Flame Gourami, but I don't really want it now. Its creeping me out, it keeps staring at me and when I put my hand in, it becomes mad, so I'm thinking of giving it to my friend. haha. And hey I've been naughty putting 14 fishes in the 25liter tank haha.

3 Glass Catfish
6 Neon Tetras
2 Golden Halfbeak (my favourite)
2 Bristlenose
Ok guys God Bless.

Hello everyone yesterday was the last day of Summer!!! Here comes Autumn people, the season of change. Well I have been having lots of thoughts on my future and what I want to do, and right now I'm quite lost. I'm thinking of studying Conservation and Wildlife Biology in Murdoch University or Wildlife Management at UWA. And heres the thing, I also want to do mission work so I'm thinking of doing human nursing too; like a 1 year course type. (nursing is cool rite Claud) I like animals, but I like to help humans too. I wan to feed the hungry and home the homeless. But I think I'll study all my animal courses first before I do nursing, I'll put that last. God please show me the way.

I am not strong, i am not wise,
And many a path before me lies
Where I might go astray;
So when I have to make a choice,
Help me to listen for your voice,
And then obey.

Well on Friday it was really relaxing for me. Only had school for 4 hours, went to cut my hair and went home. When I reached home I took my camera and some food, walked down to the park and sat on the bench and started to read a book that my friend lend me. Every Life a Plan Of God by J. Oswald Sanders. When I was reading the book there was this cute duck which came up to me and sat there by my slippers, and it was looking at me waiting for food. Hahaha and I started to talk to the duck, I told the duck "I'll give you food after I finish reading my book so just stay here." Don't think it understood me, cos it was bitting my slipper and went back into the pond. I covered 6 pages in half, than I went for a walk. Peaceful. I think I'll go down to the park every Friday to read from now on.



Ok God Bless :)
