I DID IT!!!!

OH MY OH MY!!!

I got into ANU MEDICAL SCHOOL

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!

It was such a long long day. They didn't call me till ~8ish, so i spent the whole night standing and sitting and twirling and sighing and checking my email every 2 seconds lol. But the wait was worth it totally :D

Found out early this morning that Nyssa got in, and so i called mum and told her to glue herself to the computer and call me asap. But seeing as ANU were going for the personal approach, they decided to call all their candidates alphabetically...oh dear my last name 'To' left me all the way at the end of the list. I had to ring them up and leave a voice mail message, but they called me back straight away!!

Straight after the call, there was ginormous group hug with my people and we all broke down in tears hahahaah...it was sweet though. I'm so happy that I've done something to make them proud. Then it was calling all my dear relos!!. My grandma decided she would announce it to all the family in HK, and probably to her friends at the market and her mahjong buddies :D

We decided to celebrate by all sitting down around the kitchen table and eating ice cream. It was a lovely moment <3

My mind is racing at the moment. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!

Because there is ALWAYS a difference between what you think is going to happen and what really happens. So its nice to have some concrete evidence :D

Now I will continue to have all my appendages crossed for the rest of my biomed crew. I believe in them SOOO MUCH! I wish for them to feel all this happiness and sense of relief that i'm feeling now. HANG IN THERE GUYS...NOT LONG TO GO!! the wait is worth it!

ahah...now that I did get in, means i get to continue this blog and write all about my adventures, YAY, i can't wait!

Still hasn't hit me yet...lol. Perhaps on my first day next year in Feb...

~toby.

One use of cat...

oh oh i like this new look...thanks tash!!

I found this video taken on my phone, all the way back in first year Biomed 2007 heheheh...

This is what I got from a whole semester of physics...

Canberra

Here are some pictures of my adventures to Canberra for my intervew day on 24th Sept. 2009.

Well of course the most important thing i need to address is CHINATOWN!!

-TADAA-

Here it is!

After searching long and hard, my mum and I found it. 2 asian restaurants that make up Canberra's centre for all asianess. If you ever come visit, this is where'll you'll find me!

This is the ANU campus and the white building on the left is the Peter Baume Medical Building. Inside is where I had my interviews. It is indeed very beautiful, with all the green grass, blue sky and treeeeees!

The building is so new looking, guess where its located on the campus map.

F4

gahahaha no really :D its meant to be...

This pic is taken from union court. Its this GIGANTIC space for students to do union associated things I guess, to eat, mingle and buy plants apparently ...


Theres no people!! It has space, lots of space and thats pretty much it.

More photos later...

Co, where are you?

Butterflies for my other half

in about 5 minutes my other half/long lost sister/bestie is going to have her medical school interview and I want to be there with pom poms and ballons, perhaps a big band and 2pm to cheer her on.


I know exactly how it feels at this very moment, I wish I was there to give her a hug


but I guess my support can only go thus far. So, i'm going to telepathically tell you now....with about 2 minutes left...





JIA YOU MEI!! FIGHTING!!





this is something that you've worked so hard for, i kno ALL your hard work WILL pay off.


just like what your mum said 'if you love it, its worth doing'


so this is just another moment on you're journey where you get to shine.


oh its 3pm now!

I don't kno whoes hand it is, but it'll have to do for now.

Jie, will be sitting here in her room, waiting for the good news... :D

2 days to go...

It was so lovely of my friend to give me another mock interview today. She really did put on the whole scary face and 'hmmm...' when I answered a question badly lol. Quite professional really :) but the thing that worried me the most was when she said that she could see the FEAR in my eyes when I didn't know how to answer a question. Like a train crash in slooooow motion.

oh man....

nows about time to put on my happy face, and pretend that i DO know the answer to everything and that I CAN answer every question that they throw at me. Oh stupid questions about rural and funding grr.....

2 more days to go, and yes...I have also finally decided that I will be wearing PANTS!! woot!
I love my suit pants, contray to what most people say about looking female, soft and professional. At least I walk better in them LOL.

9 days to go...

Inteview is in 9 days....oh dear...

starting to feel kinda nervous/pumped/confused/hungry?! Thought i'd experiment a little with options available on this posting page, as you can see, i am very. noob. at. computers. but theres always a first time right lol

i liked this picture, somehow it encapsulates my feelings towards the interview at this moment in time. plus its kinda cute ^___^

i shall experiment more when i have the time...perhaps try another picture, or some colour changes oh oh oh even maybe a new font LOL.
