went to the city for a bit of shopping and sightseeing on saturday. didn't buy anything though. wasn't exactly in the mood. brisbane's actually quite a cute city. it's not too old, it's not too young. but it IS the fastest growing city in Australia. apparently there wasn't a skyline about 3 years ago, (according to one crystal tan soo yi) and now there is. might have to go dig up a before and after photo to prove it.
so there are all these nice places to shop right, but i realised, a lot of the clothes here are geared towards the younger crowd. nothing that i'd wear very often since...i'm not that young anymore? hahaha...i'm just telling it like it is. but then again, the bargains are FANTASTIC!! was itching to buy stuff but then always stopping and wondering if i would wear it or would just end up chucking it to my sister and wasting my money. not like i haven't wasted enough on them. just sent back a whole bagful of sweets and clothes for them. hope they like it.
mental health has been pretty relaxed lately. turnover of patients aren't really that high. so one can only go to the ward so many times to see and interview the same patients before they get pissed off at you and end up relapsing just to have a reason to throw things at you to get outta their face. but i kid. patients here are so highly sedated, partly from the valium the hospital staff literally pump into their veins or the electric convulsive therapy which shock their brains into mush and make them so disorientated, they can't tell their left hand from their right. it's quite sad to see them so...helpless? they can't really help themselves so when they check themselves in to GET help, they get this. hmm, not for me to ponder. can't argue with the Health Board of the state of Queensland.
oh well...i know i won't be this relaxed once i get started on my internal medicine and surgery postings. oh...i am so not looking forward to that.
