Overdued: 3rd day in Chiangmai (the longest post I have ever written!)


On this very day, we all visited this place:



We had lunch and a talk session in here:




How it looks like inside:





I was seated right next to The Dean ok! Super scary, I tell you.


Group picture with The Dean (in blue):




Snacks provided:

It was freezing cold in the conference room and I didn't have my jacket with me. Couldn't borrow Nura's, cause that girl didn't bring hers along either. Therefore, we didn't dare touch the packet of drink for fear of having to pee halfway through the talk (you know how rude it is right?).

Poor Pauline had to finish the drinks for us... HAHAHAHA!! If I'm not mistaken, she had to gulp down more than four packets of it. You go, girl! Train those kidneys and bladder!!

The Associate Dean took us around campus and here are a few things you never get to see in School of Health Science, Nanyang Polytechnic:

Believe it or not, these bikes belong to the students!!



Hostels for foreign students


Newspaper/Magazine stand


And who can forget; Student nurses is these uniforms!




Wah... big difference from the uniforms of NYP, NP and ITE. Seriously man, compare it to this:



Mr Bala saw a group of junior nurses waiting for their class to start when we exited from the elevator and he was like, "Eh, Kim. You like to take pictures of everything right? Come, I take picture of you and them together. Come, come!"

Yeah, yeah... laugh if you want

The Associate Dean and The Head of Nursing Department (I don't know how to spell their names lah!)
Hibiscrub and Alcohol handrub... LoL!! Cute.


Paediatrics training


Specially imported from Japan; Say hello to SAKURA.



A shot of us with a Nursing lecturer. Her uniform is so... what's that word?!

Oh, and nurses in Thailand wear white shoes instead of black ones. Another difference to be added onto the already super long list of differences.


From left to right: Tami, Thamarai, nursing lecturer (don't make me spell her name pls!), me, Nura!


We had lunch here:





View of Mae Ping river from where we sat



After lunch, it was back to CMU for some physio experiments.

Err... sorry but I had no idea what was going on half the time. Pai seh lah... but I was focusing 100% during the experiment period ok! As little as I know about Physiotherapy, here are a bunch of pictures of the cheem stuff that went on...


OMG!!!! Headache ah...!!!


Measuring pain-score!!! (this one, I know)


My headache's getting worse... Pain-score is 12 out of 10 =p


Poor Hiuyan... pushing and pushing and pushing NON-STOP!!

Secret fact: Tham had a crush on that male lecturer. WAHAHAHA!!!
It was shopping after that!! Our favourite past-time (that is, if you exclude Mr Bala). Haha! This time round, Pat brought us to a shopping mall which is waaaayyyy bigger than Vivo City combined with Takashimaya.

The place was huge... but nothing caught my eye. So Nura and I spent most of our time binging and having bitchy girls' talk. She's a great listener, I swear!


The first thing that caught our attention was.... very sinful....



I don't know if these sweet confections are from Heaven or hell. They're so good, you'd think they're sent from above. But here's the catch; they taste so good and you keep buying them over and over again, you'd think they're temptations from hell!

As if gobbling doughnuts by the truckload wasn't enough, we went to Swensens -_-"



After eating so much and gaining all those calories, Nura and I decided to just walk around and let time pass us by. Obviously we were conversing in English and we so happened to pass by this bar where that bloody Ang-moh guy was drinking his heart out...


AND IT DIDN'T HELP THAT I STOOD IN FRONT OF THE BAR AND TOOK A PICTURE OF IT'S CONCEPT!



Rrrrrrraaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!! Whatever happened after that Ang-moh turkey spotted us is HISTORY!

-post on Day 4 up soon!!-
