Had my first lecture yesterday. It was fun and funny! The second lecture was presented by another lecturer who talked about emergency stuff...he showed us some pictures which contained images of people with accidents (meaning blood + geli stuff)...till there's a student who fainted near the end of the lecture.
Today we had a lecture for two hours in the morning then two tutorials. That lecture was an introduction to medicine and frankly speaking it was quite boring. Many of us fell asleep till the time when the lecturer said 'OK it's time to get down to business' and we started to sit upstraight and listen to her lecturing about masturbation and homosexuality. But I still dozed off for some few minutes...couldn't help it...
Tutorials are fun but they placed some pressure on me. You can fall asleep during lectures (coz it's conducted in big lecture theatre with everyone present) but you certainly can't fall alseep in tutorials (coz we're divided into groups and each group has a room). And your tutor will pay attention to every person in the class. Just like today during the second tutorial we were asked to do roleplay of medical interview in front of our class of 16 students. I was so scared that the tutor would choose me coz I'm not very good at it yet and I tend to be nervous in front of unfamiliar people. And those locals were doing so great like there's no flaws in the roleplay at all!! And they were speaking with confidence (alright coz English is their native language)..my, I certainly have a lot of things to learn..
Anyway I feel very lucky that Justina will be together with me in almost every class, at least there's someone I know who's same class with me...a great relief..and a few locals from my group P in Transition Camp, too..hehe..
Oh ya, Aussies really speak fast. Can't catch what they're speaking sometimes. Maybe their speed is the same as my speed of speaking Mandarin. A guy from China commented that I speak Mandarin fast, even faster than him! (note: his friends always said that he speaks fast, but I'm faster..haha)
Did I mention that we celebrated Yeu Sheng's birthday? It's really a big surprise for her, we gave her a penguin soft toy from Phillip Island (first present from Australia!) and a cake. It's then we only knew that candles are not provided free together when you buy a cake...unlike in Malaysia....We even got to know a local who's Yeu Sheng's neighbour and he's doing Chinese! Hehe~
