Ahhhh I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! 4 more nights and then I'm back on day shifts, and also moving on to my favourite specialty of all time - Psychiatry. No more overtime, no more weekend shifts, obviously back to basic pay which would kinda suck but ah well, think of job satisfaction!
I shall do this post point form style, as I think I owe everyone an update of my life.
I have passed my IELTS with 8.5 out of 9 Band score. My speaking component in particular scored a perfect score of 9. I guess my 9 years stay in Australia has not gone to waste!
Passing the IELTS means I could finally lodge my Permanent residency application, which I have done couple of weeks ago. Now for the LONG wait for approval. The average length of wait is around 5-6 months even for Critical skilled migrants, which is insane! Ah well, nothing much I can do I guess.
I have finally booked my flights to Kuala Lumpur/Singapore! Will also be going to Hong Kong for a few days, food and wine year! Looking forward to a great trip!
This is super super belated but Trev and I celebrated our 4th year anniversary in March. 4 years! That's the longest I've ever been in a relationship. Still happy as ever. Amazing.
Working night shifts have been a tiring and not to mention scary experience. I have some stories which I might share with you next time.
I'm eating up to make up for all the meals I have not eaten during my night shifts. My shifts are 11 hours long and I normally go through the shifts without food, because it's really weird for me to eat in the wee hours in the morning. But fear not, Gingerboy on Friday, Rock Kung on Saturday and Jacques Reymond tomorrow night, I'm definitely making up for lost meals! Tee hee hee.
Anyway, some recent pics:
Tian and I at a wedding gig couple of weeks ago.
Gold Leaf Restaurant @ Docklands. Lovely venue.
Showing off the blue satin waist belt I made when I was in i think Form 3 - as a project for one of the subject in school.
Singing a few songs.
Photos are taken with Tian's camera.
And I stumbled across this photo on Baraki Bar's page on facebook. We went there for a quick catch up with An and watched some great live performances. Great bar! A photographer randomly took my photo. I remember pointing at myself confused and said: "Just me?"
Love it! It's now my profile pic for a few things. Haha
Last but definitely not the least, I shall share another song with you.
I recorded this one when I was mid conversation with a friend. I used the WavePad Sound Editor and my laptop's built in mic. So the quality is not the best, but nonetheless passable.
happy anniversary i suppsoe lol. 4 years and going strong =) so sweet.
and i hear that using an agent for PR application can speed things up. some can authorise the application on the spot or something. go enqurie =)
@Ker Fern - I applied through an Agent who specialises in Medical Practitioner's PR. However I don't think it would make much of a difference as my sister did hers all on her own and got her PR in 3 months and another friends of mine did through an agent around the time my sister lodged, and hasn't gotten approval (also on critical skill list) yet. It probably all comes down to individual factors. My agent said my sister probably got hers early because they give preference to people in Adelaide. Hmph.
after all this time, i would have thought u would have gotten PR already
@funky_ass - nope. i had to wait until i finish internship. i had a chance to when i was a student but didn't want to use parents' money for that.
