Floor party!

2006-10-01T19:51:00.000-07:00

Oooo.. we had a massive floor party with 12 floor in total.

Chilled at the roof top of International house and the weather was amazing.

Not mentioning the crazy crowd of people we had.

The japanese girls grooved off the night with their dance move that left everyone in AWE!

We partied, danced and drank till wee hours in the morning in the name of fun!

Let the holidays begin with unleased amount of alcohol, fun and sleepless nights.

No more assignemets! ( well, only for a week but it's worth while)

Dance aways guys!

Everyone watching the amazing performance by the japanese girls!

Don't they just look so adorable together!

I have no idea why but sami does this all the time!
Our very own terrorist in the house.

Trust me, he'll give you a comprehensive lessons on how to make home made bombs out of kitchen ware.

Chris and Ruchir crazy as usual. What will i do without the both of them?

I guess the girls just made your day!

I'm trying ruchir but you'er just way too tall!

*cheezy smiles people!*

I night

2006-10-01T19:26:00.000-07:00

Okay okay.. start cursing, i know i haven been doing my job.

I know i haven been updating this and yes i am sorry. so in compensation, i shall do 3 events

I night is an occasion where all the residents come together to put up a performance and believe me when i say it's massive! It's huge.

Yes, i am feelinging guilty for not being able to do much with all the irritating assigenment but i tried.

Now i'll leave you to the photos to tell you the story!

Have fun!

It's me a ruchir having hell of a fun time

DOn't they all just look awesome?

What is i night without a great crew??!!

What better way to end off the massive event with booze and parties!

Watch your liquor boys.. you never know what trouble you can get into if you aren't careful!

Royal National Park

2006-07-16T22:02:00.000-07:00

My world was nothing but the room that i lived in.

With pictures of Dog anantomy cards, horse breeds, dissection photographs plastered all over my wall.

Exam papers, pass year questions and dog bones layed messily over the floor, rulling it like it's own kingdom.

Often i am left with no choice but to shuffle my feet through them or when filled with exhaustion, i would do nothing and step on them and plonk myself on my bed.

This was what it was like during exams....

I couldn't take it anymore, and i told myself, after exam i am going to run, run away from this dreadful place and never come back. I want to walk away from here...

......................... and then with the snap of my fingers, i told my close friend(danield), " Let's do a costal walk at the Royal national park!" "Deal!" , he exclaimed.

1) So here we are... At royal National park. About to begin out 26 km walk. I have no idea what i got myself into... so...

Lucky as we were, we saw dolphins on our trip, swimming with the surf when we took the ferry from bundeena to begin our trip. Beautiful aren't they?

So here we are, trekking with a 20kg pack with our essentials to discover mother nature.

What she(mother nature) could offer was more than i could ask for.

Hiking up this was no fun. One more step, one more step but what i saw at the top made it all so worth it.

All the views were breathtaking. Doing the walk after my exams added to the sense of liberation. Mother nature always has her moments.

And.. standing on the edge of danger and death adds to the excitment

Plus, ori's contempt with nature. One piece of advice, don't challenge mother nature.

We made a foolish misake. None of us brought torch light. So we worked in darkenss to get the stove working using handphone lights. Even more fustrating was when i found out The God-damm instuctions were in KOREAN.

The weather at unimaginable. I had my long-john, a jumper and a downjacket and i was still freezing....

(shivers)

So we made it in the end... and now.. the true holiday begins.

pig handlings!

2006-06-08T02:51:00.000-07:00

TAlking about a whole new experience.. wait till you experience pig hadling.

They are the noisiest bunch of squeling munchkins around!

They not only annoy the shit out of you.. they bite your boots and nudge you away. CHewing on your toes is also their favourite pass time.

So what exactly do vets do as part of their training?

Let's find out.

1) ULTRASOUND! Yes.. it's taken by me and can you see the backbone and the heart?

2) Imagine having to squat real low.... with your butt inches from the pig crap. And reaching down to the bulging lactating teats and doing a ultrasound? ONly to realise that your hand would be soaked with shit and urine? Imagine that...

3) INJECTIONS. I totally lost it. Having to restrain them by their mouth clamp shut with cable wires just gets to me. I was shaking when i had to give them the shot. Oh my god.. it was a nightmare.

Can you believe it? my friend's needle from the syringe bent 90 degrees when she pulled it out?

4) NOw... we are trying to measure the amount of backfat from my belly..

Apparently, my value is 26 which is twice that of a pig. So that means i'm of low grade. Damm it..

Have fun and enjoy the picures

Inter-floor games

2006-05-06T23:01:00.000-07:00

So you think you have the best job in the world?

Try beating this!

Being the sports co-ordinator is way fun. Not to mention the perks.

Perk 1) Watching people voluntarily allow themselves to be wrapped up in toilet paper.

Perk2) People terrorising each other. Yes ori, i know, you'er watching them. Keep it up, show me whatcha got!

Perk 3) Watching faces smacked with flour all over their face and yet they are crazily happy about it. Just for the sake of fishing out a few sweets from the bowl? Come on, i'll buy you some.

Perk 4) Well, this is not exactly a perk! Being whoosed down with pepsi?? Well, that's their way of appreciating my effort in making the inter-floor games a sucess. Err... will you pass me a towel please?

Truth, some people have said that through these crazy games, they have found a frightening and disturbing side to my personality. *ponder* hmm, i beg to differ, cause i think, singaporeans have a uncanny way to have fun. Who says singaporeans are a serious lot?

Though, organising this game have took quite a bit away from me?looking at how much people have enjoyed themselves, i think it's way worth it. Won't you agree now that i have the best job in the world?

Habour cruise

2006-05-02T02:31:00.000-07:00

It's amzing how sydney is surrounded with so much water that taking a night habour cruise is an absolute must. The night view of sydney landscape is just amazing and spectacular. Of course, this cruise would not have been the best without your crazy friends.

Paticular highlights were

1) Watching OJ drunk after reaching his ultimate limit of 30 cans of good ol' beer.

2) Crazy dance floor where i spun in hands of my good friend daniel and grooving with nehal.

3)Pleading for food from the cockpit as the captain of the boat pitied us and handed sizzling hot meat pies through a pathetic small opening through the window.

Meat pies will never taste any better than this.

4) Cross dressing. I just felt a sudden increase in testosterone level, dont blame me. And yes kelvin looks a whole lot sexier, number for any intrested ladies?

5) After all that partying and alcohol, nothing beats pancakes by the rocks. Imagine this, chocolate pancake topped with red straberries and chocolate syrup. NOt to mention the chocolate ice-cream. Damm, i've got to watch thoes carbs, but for now, who cares...

6) yes, and i couldn't help but gobbled it all down. Look at the crazy mess that we are in having to fight knife and fork for pancakes.

Pre Dissection class

2006-04-20T00:38:00.000-07:00

Oooooooo... the smell hit me real hard and was stunned for a moment!

Ewww.. the smell of dead dogs... skinned and place on the table for me to examine. How nice eh?

And yes, i am currently looking at these pictures while trying to prepare for my anatomy exam on monday. Eeeek..

condyloid processes, m iliocoastalis, m semispinalis, femur, ellipsoidal joint etc. boy, these words do make me sound kinda intellectual huh?

Of course there is noting more comforting then telling myself that the more dead they are, the live ones i'll save, so people... savour the moment.

Diving

2006-04-19T21:41:00.000-07:00

After looking at dead specimens of dogs for the past month, i guess i deserve this long long break.

SO WHAT BEATS LEARNING DIVING!

i took 4 days off my easter break and here i am at kurnella beach.

No to mention the magical world, "OCeania" where i saw an ORANGE octopus, stonefish, whirl of catfish and so many others.

But this trip could never have been more beautiful if not for my diving buddy O.J. ( did i mention he's norwegian?) Having to hold on to him to fight the currents when we swam out, and thank goodness he was there to hold me when i suddenly floated up due to my impatience in trying to pump in too much air to my vest. *DUMB* But of course, playing " scissors paper stone" underwater was funny not to mention, the couple of time we were nearly killed by unknown forces that kept removing the regulator from our mouth.

So read on darlings.....

Akiko and myself basking in the sun.

What beats a good glass of ICE COLD EUROPEAN BEER after such a long hot day! And yes, we are all certified divers now.

International house

2006-04-19T21:19:00.000-07:00

Let's talk about the place i stay.

International house.

It's where the craziest and darnest things happens.

And oh yes and this is one of the crazy moments. Believe me, with people trying to tie lucas( birthday boy) up with tape and then carrying him down to the pond liike some sacrificial item to be thrown in is MADNESS! NOt to mention, the utter surprise on our faces when we realise that the original target was not lucas but rather his best friend daniel.

TO top it all up, danield told carrie before he was thrown in, that he won't be going into the pond this year and he was soooooooo wrong.

So enjoy the pictures.

Like you never know what's going to happen so don't count your eggs too early.

The reason, start and beginning...

2006-04-19T19:28:00.000-07:00

After being away for ages, with people wondering "what on earth is chalene up to?", i think it's time to act responsibly and update people back home on my journey to becoming a vet. I am sincerely sorry for taking this lazy way out to communicate with you but i guess pictures can mean a thousand words. So fire away!
