This is a very late post...regarding Ekka. What is Ekka? Honestly, i don't know what is Ekka when i went there, i just know that there will be many stalls selling different things and it is a very famous festival in Brisbane. So, of course i won't miss it!

Ekka, formal title would be Royal Queensland Show (which i think if u mention this, no one in Brisbane know what are u mentioning...) and is an annual Queensland show. Initially it is named as Brisbane Exhibition, but due to the laziness..oops, i mean culture of shortening English words, Exhibition become Ekka.

*我跟你讲, 澳洲真的很懒的啦~ 什么字都把它给缩短...举例来说, afternoon 变成 arvo , breakfast 变成 breaky, 所以理所当然的, exhibition 就变成 ekka lo!*

ok, 简单来说呢, 这从一开始是要向别人展示自家的agriculture product 和多么先进的新仪器, 然后再炫耀一下自家的牛羊马长的多么地健康....到了现在, 虽然仍然保有动物展览, 人们去的目的却不再是看牛羊了...由于每年进场的人数都在增加, 主办当局其实不停地在增加吸引人群的事物, 例如多了可以玩游戏赢公仔的stalls, 由赞助商赞助并以较低价出售的货品 (eg: cadbury, sweets, dolls, magazines, foods...), 以及各种不同类型地食物档.....真是眼花缭乱啊!!
(像在写小学作文酱....)

无论如何, 反正当天早上, 我们就从 city 搭巴士到现场, 然后走了一整天, 回家时, 脚都就快要断了...
好吧,再怎么累, 照片还是不会少, 慢慢过目吧! 我懒惰形容了..hehe.

不要为了一棵树 而放弃整个森林
一句多数人形容爱情的话
其实更适合用于我们的人生

不要为了一棵树 而放弃整个森林
不要因为一些不在乎你 伤害你的朋友
而忘记所有爱护你 疼爱你的朋友

不要为了一棵树 而放弃整个森林
不要因为一点点不如意的事
而忘记所有你曾经拥有的美好回忆

不要为了一棵树 而放弃整个森林
不要因为一些挫折 一些低潮
而忽略你曾付出的努力和心血

不要因为人生有遗憾 有难过 有瑕疵
就忘记了 忽略了 我们所拥有的快乐

我们拥有的 远比我们失去的还要多
所以我们没有放弃的理由
也没有失落的理由
因为有更多更美好的事情在等我们

所以朋友们
我们一起加油吧!!!



*这不是一首诗, 本人有自知之明, 还没有那样的造诣啦~ 纯粹一点小心声....

一个无论从数字还是意义, 都具有纪念价值的日子.

2000 年的奥运会, 在澳洲, 我没印象;
2004 年的奥运会, 在雅典, 也没什么留意;
2008 年的奥运会, 在中国北京.

一个属于华人的地方,
一个让大家感到光荣的地方,
一个让全世界为之震撼的地方!

我从来没有认真留意开幕典礼, 也没有非看不可的情怀, 但今年的开幕典礼, 不但是因为在中国, 也因为这是我第一次不在马来西亚看的开幕典礼, 更显特别...

所以呢, 就约了几位朋友到 southbank 去看这场让人期待已久的开幕典礼 lo! 在典礼开始前, southbank 还特别准备了一些节目给观众. 由于我们迟到了, 所以抵达现场时, 已错过一些表演, 而且现场也实在人潮汹涌!


Ferris Wheel on the way to Southbank,
Eye on Brisbane
(i guess)


5 位主持

一半的人潮,
当晚的人坐满了整个 piazza


芳龄才12 岁的钢琴高手

太极

问答环节, 奖品是一只福娃~
要是我对奥运会了解多一点点, 我也会去,
但现在就不要去丢脸了!




如果我没听错, 他好象是作了一首给奥运会的歌,
而且是夹杂华语的哦!



唱'明天会更好' 的歌唱团

中国武术



等了许久, 终于到了紧张的时刻 了!!!



全场的人起立, 唱中国国歌!


由于现场有着数不清的技术问题, 我相信我错过了许多精彩画面和介绍...难过...
不过现场的气氛高昂, 的确增加了不少观看的乐趣!

在种种精彩, 让人咋舌的表演后, 我们用运动员进场的冗长时间拿来拍照..

看到差不多1 点时, 终于忍不住回家了, 幸好回到家还赶得及看点火仪式~



*由于本人现在不舒服, 所以就草草结束此篇, 对不起啦~

同一个世界, 同一个梦想!!!

28th July 2008

This is a memorable day, y? Bcz.....
it's...

My 1st placement in my lifetime!

Before my 1st placement, i actually did go to the pharmacy to arrange the time that i should be going and changed it to Monday 1pm to 3pm.

My pharmacy is arranged by Pharmacy School and i had no choice in this, and finally i'm allocated to a pharmacy in a suburb named Bardon. It is not far from my university but it is a small suburb and not so famous, at least i don't know where is it. Anw, I able to get there and arranged with my preceptor.

So, on Monday, i went there alone after my class. The route will be

UQ --> Toowong --> Bardon.


while waiting for my bus, it will be coming every half an hour

finally get into the bus

From Toowong, there we go!! We passed by the depot of Translink bus and the Toowong Bus Garage. Finally i know where those buses going when they put 'Depot' on their electronic board.

well, depends on my luck, normally we will have to change bus when we reached here. According to the bus driver, buses need to rest also mah!




After the bus garage, the bus will go into the Botanic Garden fetching people (if any, but normally no) then towards my pharmacy.

Some pictures taken along the way:







the Planetarium looks nice, will be visiting it one day...


Ok, after passing the Botanic Garden, the bus will pass by Toowong Cemetary and turn into Stuartholme road, see the road sign below?


and this is the road

finally the stop.
u know what, Rainworth is a bus stop of Stuartholme Road yet
there is a street nearby with the name 'Rainworth Road'.
confusing hor?


Yes, follow the road of the above picture and walk a small distance and you will reach my pharmacy, erm...i mean my placement pharmacy..

Dang dang dang dang!! My (placement) pharmacy:

a clearer one:


My placement pharmacy is a small shop when compared to those big pharmacies in shopping complex and the surrounding is just residential area and a few shops.


My preceptor was a UQ student too, and he is from Taiwan. He migrated here 18 years ago, married a Taiwanese lady 1 month ago and opened this pharmacy 5 months ago. Well, i think he is kinda rich as opening a pharmacy in Australia is super difficult and costly. He told me even only with the license number, he bought it with AUD350 thousand....just the license number. AUD leh!!! *faint* and he said there are some which are more expensive...

so one day, if u see me opening a pharmacy in Australia, u will know how rich I am by that time, muahahahaha!! it is still too early to dream~~

ok, so he is a nice person, easy going and help me a lot in completing my modules. As the pharmacy is not busy during my placement, that's why i have the time to gather all these information la! but looks as if i 查他家宅 like that..

And that's all for my placement, no photos of me wearing placement shirt as everyone is too nervous about their placements and i'm too nervous too.. i forget to ask people to take one for me, and i didn't even have a mirror to take my own picture too... T_T


* some of the pictures are taken during my 2nd placement as i did not bring along my camera for the 1st placement.
*just a short update....
