The way to Mount Olivet

My CP5 rotation 2 is just around the corner and I was allocated to have my clinical prac in Mount Olivet Hospital (Rehabilitation and Palliative care). That hospital was not my preferance at all. I choosed 3 hospitals in my FIPS, they are RBWH, St. Andrews Hospital and Eye hospital in Spring Hill. Unfortunately, for this rotation... I was not lucky enough. This morning I did meet my unit coordinator and we discussed about my issue - public transport issue and the availability time of buses and water ferry in Brisbane City. Not much choice that I have... I can go to Royal Children Hospital, but it is a big NO NO for me.... working with kids in Brisbane will be a major nightmares for me. I have a communication problem with OZ kids (nda ku paham cakap kanak2 orang putih disini, totally surrender ku, baik ku melayan kanak2 melayu di Brunei). Anyway, I just 'Tawakkal'.... so this afternoon with the help of my friend, I went to the city and try to locate where is Mount Olivet Hospital.


Ok, on our journey today, we have to go by bus 391 from Kelvin Grove Road and stop at Adelaide Street and catch the Free Loops bus to go to Eagle Street. Then from Eagle Street, we have to walked and find the ferry terminal. We found one... yeahhh...... but the wrong one hehe... so we have to walked some more steps till we find the right one... yeah the pic is up there...



There, I was confused with the City Ferry and City Cat. We have to check the Map from the notice board. City Ferry are available for Inner City and Cross River Services (from North Quay to Sydney Street - vice versa) while the City Cat has a major route which stretches from University of Queensland to Apollo Road (vice versa). I wish I can show the map, but just for the infos all this services work within zone 1 up to zone 2 only. The above pic is one of the City Ferry... (jgn hairan, ferry kecik saja bah... kalau City Cat baru basar, nanti mengambar...) and that bridge is the Story Bridge.



It took us just 5 minutes to cross the river and what happened, I felt sick (mauk hehehe naik ferry... apa lerrr....). We stop at Thornton Street Ferry terminal. Then we have to walked about 520 meters... that was not to bad (tapi mengapus jua bejalan hehehe...). At the end when we arrived to Mount Olivet.... just look at the pic below here.... thats how it looks like (the pic was taken across the river). Then... you can see the symbols (atu yang pangkah2 ah....) so, I will just 'Tawakkal' during the prac... what to do, its for my learning experience.



Cheers.

CP5 Rotation 1 (14th Feb - 16th March 2009)

Hi peps,


Its been a long time since I updated my blog, nada masa, very busy with my study and practical work. I haven't got the time to 'click' 'click' around Brisbance City since ages ago. Haven't got my canon camera with me, I lend it to my lil bro who is now crazy about photography and at the end I even lost touch on my hobby. With the help of my little point and shoot camera.... I guess I can take pictures but infortunately not as good quality as the pro camera.


Times do really goes so fast, I have 2 more months to go before I go home for good to Brunei (yeheeee).... but I do feel a bit sad because Brisbane is a second home for me for the past few years. The place where I stay (Kelvin Grove)... I got a few Bruneian friends who came here with their families.. ..so we used to gather in Kulgun Park and have a little chit chat and picnic.... which is almost every week if the weather is ok. So, it is kind of sad to leave my good and closed friends here.... for sure I will cry by the end of the day 'sob'.... 'sob'....


Anyway, I will just post the latest pic.... just to show some for the families and a few friends... ;)

During my CP5 - rotation 1, I was in Perioperative area in Royal Brisbane Women Hospital. From left to right: Amylia, Yolanda, Rebecca, me (hehehe... yg paling gelap sekali hahaha), Jung, Dan Wang and Karen. We have lots of fun working in this hospital. My good facilitator is Sharon O'Toole, she is an awesome person I ever meet.... unfortunately I don't have her pic here.
