CNY away from home.

Its been a long while since the last update, and with Chinese new year around the corner, time to just update what I'm currently up to.

Well, I'm currently in Medicine posting, for those non med fellas, Medicine, my course, is divided into 6 core subs in clinical years ( medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynae, paediatrics, community medicine, psychiatry) plus other subs like orthopaedics, ophthalmology, anaesthesiology will be in Melaka..

For clinical years, we have postings everyday, meaning I'll be in the hospital for the whole day.. In medicine postings, I'll be facing cases involving mostly respiratory and cardiac systems. Mostly patient with old age, chronic smokers and many other stuffs.

And recently encountered a number of cases not seen daily like

seizures, delerium due to alcohol withdrawal...


And a patient with left ventricular hypertrophy with heaving apex beat admitted in the ICU..

Anyway this medicine posting is going to end and I'm having tests on 21st, 24th, and 25th Jan before entering the last posting and a month away from fleeing this place. So basically, there's no cny mood at all and the only thing on my mind now is

Wish everyone a happy Chinese new year and enjoy to the fullest.

What to see in Melbourne.

Seems like it’s been centuries since the last update.

As I mentioned, I would like to talk about things to do in Melbourne.

To get to Melbourne, simply wait when Air Asia is giving cheap tickets & obtain an electronic visa prior to the bookings. What you need to do next is to cramp into the lil’ small yet the most reasonably-priced seat for 8 hours from KL. On reaching, if you are on budget, take the airport bus to Southern Cross, buy a weekly unlimited pass & prepare to roam Melbourne.

1st, Tourist attractions

Federation Square, which is just opposite the Flinders street station, the oldest station. You can reach there from Southern Cross by train. You can enjoy the river tour or the fine art exhibitions there.

In one of the art exhibition.

Flinders Street Station.

From Fed. Sq., take a walk along the Yarra river bank,

Cross the Queen Bridge, continue walking and you will reach

The Crown casino.

There is a lot of entertainment inside the Crown, you can enjoy the good food, simulators & also perhaps donate your money on the tables.

Eureka Tower is another landmark to visit. Its a 88 storey with an observation deck where you can have the whole Melbourne in your retina. I was advised to enjoy the night view of Melbourne rather than going in the noon.

Night scene through the scope.

In the lift. The lift took seconds for us to reach the top, I believe it took lesser time to drop.

For those with unlimited case in hand,

Collins street is the best place. But for those without,

DFO @ South Wharf will be a better one.

Besides that, there are another few places to visit.

Docklands harbour.

Swanston street

Central library which is just opposite Melbourne Central & RMIT University.

Melbourne city is nice, same goes to the outskirts of Melbourne.

Some pictures of Balwyn. Accessible through trams.

Not to forget the road trips,

The twelve apostles, where you observe the rocks or have a heli-ride over the rocks & the Great Ocean Road.

That’s not all of the tourist attractions but thats what I feel nice & truly enjoyed it.

About the food, it will be in the next post.

Itineraries

my itineraries for the coming september.

Gonna enjoy to the max.. but think of finals in 2 months… headache la seriously..
