first post in Ireland

Wow, i have been in Ireland for about a week. In fact its more than a week le! haha, time flies.

Finally, i have so time to do a quick update! as stated in Yu's blog, i have not been online for so long. As a matter of fact, i HAVE always been online since Monday. However, my MSN here is rather koyak. I am unable to sent out messages to you guys~ so i decided to chat in skype with wc and wt. Skype is now a very important part of my life. hehe.

Stupid YU! You called me 肥猪 in your blog! roar, its ok, i shall try and lose weight here in Ireland. Hmmm, can a person lose weight during winter?! heck it, i shall try to lose weight! hehe.

anyway, lets blog about Ireland. I wont deny that it is a really beautiful place. Streets are really clean, buildings are those retro kind. Overall, i think that it is so much better as compared to Tassie. At least i was enrolled on monday. When i was in Tasmania, i was enrolled 2 weeks after lesson started man! One up for Ireland~

oh ya, i have notice a difference between the whites here and the whites back in Tassie. The is a clear distinction between the two different types of white ( one is more white than the other ^^, jkjk). The whites here are more efficient, intellectual, well mannered, friendly and most importantly they are so much smarter. It could be due to the fact that i am in a medical school, hence the image of the whites seems so perfect. haha, but no matter what, i still feel safe walking alone here in Ireland. As for Tassie, i would feel really uneasy when i am all alone. so ya, this is one major difference.

Hmmm, speaking about my accommodation, its not that bad i suppose. Its in the apartment style. I was suppose to have 3 hostel mates, however currently there are only two of them. Sadly, both of them are whites. haha. Thank god they are really good whites~ so i am fine with it! oh ya, my accommodation is 3 minutes away from school, 4 minutes away from St Stephen's Green shopping mall and 1 min away from the doctor (its subsidised by the school). So there is nothing much a can complain about my accommodation i suppose.

As for school, its really hectic. The said that the first week is know as fresher's week. in the end lectures begin on the second day! The lectures are really content heavy. Its so much more difficult to study here as compared to Tasmania man! the difference in standard is really there. Colin! Lower limb is covered within 2 lectures~ oh man, now i really hate the lower limb man. Ghee y must there be so many muscles and the stupid femoral triangle~ haiz, better not think about it.

Oh ya, i was allowed to dissect the thigh of a cadaver during my first anatomy lesson. I was amazed as i thought i will only be seeing those already dissected cadaver. Who know i was able to cut them! haha, its really fun man. I did not know that it is so easy to cut through the skin! Oh ya the body is of an old lady. I have never seen so much dead body in my life man. The smell was a little disgusting though!

about dissecting the thigh... i made 3 straight cuts and 2 of them made an inverted T. The cut was all the way to the patellar(knee region) After that, my group mates and i started to pull back the skin! hehe, it was like digging into flesh while pulling out the skin! when pulling out the skin, you can see many adipose tissues and connective tissue. haha, den we slowly look for the different muscles (which i believe you all do not want to know the name... only colin will know i suppoes). so ya that was my first anatomy lesson and i am really looking forward to the next one which is on tuesday! wheee~ sorry spos, haha you had to relive the dissection process once again~ hope you are not as disgusted ya! haha.

im doing ok i suppose so you guys dont have to worry. I certainly hope that you guys are doing well too! must keep me updated ya. Go install SKYPE lah, den can chat there! my Msn is a little koyak! haha.

spos, you are pigging in bed now when i am typing this post man! haha, however , you will be waking up in 2 hours time! wheee, no more waking up at such hours to chat le alright? haha. anyway, thanks for believing me me too! sorry to make ya go through so much more nonsense, especially those issues. haha, its gonna be worth it i believe! hehe, thanks for everything, always so understanding and accommodating! hope you have a great day ahead tomorrow ya! there will be a surprise for ya!!!!! love ya lots and take care!
