Hi from Adelaide!!!!

heyo people of pm16!!!

am currently doing Dentistry in the Uni of Adelaide.

one of the buildings in the Uni of Adelaide

I LOOOVE dentistry =D haha.. i love teeth in general.. so everyone.. open wideeeeee.... *insert evil laugh*.

my locker =)

Things here are handled quite differently compared to college; we are split into tutorial groups and they MAKE us discuss things based on certain case scenarios. Initially i found it quite hard to get myself to speak up, but now i think i'm starting to get used to it, but i find it annoying, and sometimes a bit boring.

all our classes are interlinked, so whatever we discuss in tutorial groups and also lectures, we get to practice on each other in the clinic. it's fun, but a bit stressful cause i dont want to hurt my classmate or cause bleeding etc. it's really nice that you would really get to feel what it's like to be in a clinic, move the dental chair up and down.. give the patient spaceship rides...lol. 3 of us share a dental chair and would rotate the role of being the operator (dentist), dental assistant and the patient. so really, it's a matter of poking and being poked. haha

teeth probing

currently i need to collect extracted teeth so i am passing jars out to dentists. i got a jar already and it looks kinda gross because of all the tissue still attached to the teeth.. all floating around. but i dont have a picture of it and i passed it to the dental hospital to be sterilized. will post a pic up when i get another jar back. oh yeah and once we were all told to not brush for 2 days so we could look at plague build up in the clinic. kinda gross. but just FYI, it takes the about 2 weeks of no brushing before you start getting a bit of gingivitis. caries would only come much much later. but really, dont get any ideas though. brush.

then there is the pre-conceived idea that dental and med students are just people who study all day and dont party, but in reality they party so hard, it's scary. social gatherings are just excuses to drink. haha. i've been to two parties held by the dental students society, and it's all free flow of alcohol and so quite a few people get drunk. since am a freshie, i get to go in for free. haha. the last gathering i went to was held in our common room in the dental hospital basement, so they had flashing lights and loud music and dancing, a very club like atmosphere. it was fun. the med students have more of such events, you can ask Karim about it. a very best thing about our common room besides the tv and couch is that they have a pool table!!! and it's FOC!!! hehehehehhehe.. better than asia cafe, though the table and balls are smaller. it's free so am not complaining. =)

ADH

Adelaide isnt a very small place, but it really is a quiet city. there really isn't much to do.. sure there's clubs, pubs and bars (even gay ones and strip clubs!),  and casinos but since am not into any of those activities, nothing much for me to do. the streets are really quiet on most nights and on weekends, a lot of shops are closed. quiet the opposite of Malaysia. They have really a really nice Botanical Gardens though and also nice public beaches. The only beach i've been to in Glenelg... palindromic name cooooollll.. nice white sand very fine, kinda like the sand in Redang. it's cold and wet now... very unfun.. seems to be raining the whole day and for the next week, i see only one spot of yellow on the weather forecast. sad. i miss malaysian weather. the grass is always greener on the other side???

Garden of Unearthly Delights ( it's a fair, with a funky name)

Glenelg Beach with a few of Karim's friends

Sher Lynn and Karim are the only 2 pm16 ppl here, unlike the whole gang in IMU. you guys must be having so much fun together. I see Sher Lynn from time to time, but it is harder to catch her because we're not really using the same campus, most of the time she's in the main campus while i am in the dental hospital. I meet Karim almost everyday, because our campus are located right beside each other and sometimes I use the lecture halls in the Med Sch and also for other obvious reasons. we cook together almost every weekend. so far so good, we've not disappointed our tastebuds yet =P and no.. no food poisoning. hahaha.

yummmmmmyyyy =)

The last gathering we had was when a few of us girls and guys went to Harbourtown. it's this isolated shopping place where there is nothing in the area except retail outlets. stuff there are cheaper too. hehehehehe.. shopper's paradise. =) it was good fun shopping for us girls, not too sure about the guys though.

Living out for the first time is really quite different. so much things you have to do by yourself, the cooking, laundry, walking etc.. i really miss being driven around. i guess i really have been pampered. and i miss my cats *sniff* but all in all, it really is a good experience, being out on your own, meeting new people, having a bit more freedom to do things your way and learning that you can actually make great tasting food. =P enough rambling from me.. what about you guys???? will be back in july. hope to meet up with you guys and do loads of catching up! take care!!!!

Hey guys. *waves from Bukit Jalil*

I think it has been WAYYYYYY too long since this blog's been updated. I know I have not been in touch with most of you and I'm really sorry. And to make up for it, I figured I could update you guys about what's going on with my life now. So, hear me out okay?


I'm doing Pharmacy in IMU.

Lectures are okay, I guess. But Maths lectures are torture and painful to sit through, which explains the lack of students during Maths classes.



Orientation week was awesome. I had the chance to meet nice and amazing people.







We had a charity project in which I was Vice Chairperson(not trying to brag here). The home we visited was Sunbeam Home.

I'm glad we were able to put a smile on every child's face that day.




The bunch of friends I hang out with are fun and out-going. And sometimes, quite random too.





At a friend's house warming party where one of us got drunk. Nope, not me.




I sprained my ankle last month.

And had to wear flip flops to uni everyday for one whole month. It's better now but still hurts if I put too much pressure on it when I exercise.



Attended IMU Ball 2009 at Mariott Putrajaya last Sunday.





Met up with Yvonne and Katherine last night to do some catching up and gossiping.



All in all, uni life's great. But, I still miss college life. A lot.


If you're free, do spare 5 minutes or so to share how your life has been for the past few months. I miss everyone of you to bits.

Take care everyone! Cheers!

Updates ppl...

so results are out, its been months since college ended.
what is everyone up to? where you ppl heading? which uni's and when?
edit this post with your answers to those questions. haha
wonder if anyone will even read this.

Mailing House Addresses

hey all, i'd like to keep track of all your mailing house adresses ( all your addresses in Malaysia or overseas: Korea, UK, Aus?! )  

It'd be good for mailing/visiting purposes. If you'd like, I can forward the whole list to your emails, if I get to compile it first myself =D

just write your adress on msn/email to sherlynn14@hotmail.com

hehe, other than that: Merry Christmas! Happy holidays!

Pangkor Dangerous

[Sher's Saga of events]

I am tanned, and I got a self-inflicted-upon-self-funny-fringe-haircut;phew. So anyways, yea...I wanted to write a bit about how our Pangkor trip went about:from my POV. We left from Taylor's on a Monday ( which was still a college day for some others, loaded with luggage and with some sort of-in your face haha we're on a holiday mood evil smiles on our faces; at least that was what I had with me before we left. ) Now the idiotic part about the trip for me, was how I forgot my cam memory card and had to strive on only 10 pics in my camera, so I guess this should be the first time I leave pic-taking to others, and decided to capture undefinable, and unmaterialised fond memories than to have captured boxed and scrutinised pics of people and places; Nah, who am I kidding, I'm just trying to cover up. Anyways, Pangkor was dangerously enjoyable and in case you're wondering why the hack is it dangerous? It's only because we watched Bangkok Dangerous in the bus, and thought it was such a cool catch phrase =D. Anyways, yea...on the first day we took a bus trip up north to the jetty in Pangkor. On the way, we stopped by a restaurant famous for their Duck Noodles; so they say. Took the ferry across, and voila...Viva La' Pangkor. We stayed at the Coral Bay Resort apartments: in which if I'm correct I stayed there before about 5 years ago maybe...but Pangkor has changed A LOT since then. 

Tuesday came, and went Island-hopping! We snorkelled a wee bit, but the fishes weren't as visibly clear as it was in Redang, nevertheless...I still love being in the outdoors, and in the waters regardless. Later, under the eye of the fierce and scorching sun ( yes trying to impress to you how HOT it was ), we went fishing by the shallow waters. We caught a few fishes, and about an hour later brought it to a private shore to cook, and eat it. Oh yea, about the fishing experience, our care-taker/guide caught a sea cucumber in which later it ( NOT THE GUY I MEAN )  started GUSHING OUT ALL OF ITS INTESTINES, BLOOD, FAECES AND ALL THE OTHER INSIDES you don't wanna know...because it couldn't stand being out of water ( ok, sorry you had to read that...but it was disgusting, if I knew more about sea cucumbers I WOULD NOT HAVE WANT TO SEE IT REACT LIKE THAT ). Later, we all had our banana boat rides, it was nice...and a few of us kinda got bruised a bit when we landed on each other.Tuesday was nice. 

Wednesday came, and some of us rented bikes for RM6/day. We literally covered half the Island of Pangkor;so to say we met the dead end of the Island and had to turn back. Half way cycling on a bright and sunny turned cloudy day, it rained so heavily. Multi-tasking: cycling and bathing in the rain, we braved our journey back to the apartment. I was cycling the slowest, and I mean seriously: cycling in that 2 hours was about the most exercise I ever got this year. Personally, when I first got unto the bike I was pretty scared of cycling unto the main road, with other motorists. Plus, most of the scars that I previously got when I was younger was because I fell from a bike, from climbing, running...and the sorts. 

Thursday: the day we were leaving for home. On the way home, we stopped by the hot springs in Kuala Klah. It was hot;haha. Painful too for me, because just the day before I got some nasty red-ant bites on my toes. Came back on Thursday, and I took the whole Friday for my aching back, arms, legs and soar throat to heal. In a nutshell, Pangkor was enjoyable, I ate so much seafood in a few days I could almost literally judge the taste in my head and I now know, that I should not be a ding-dong to forget my memory card. Thanks for the awesome trip, peeps...I'm off now, maybe someone else should edit/add to the saga of events from their POV too =).
