Lifegroup outing

Went for an outing wif my lifegroup or cellgroup members at a small town....its a German town called Hahndorf...when u think bout German, u will think bout German words like "Achtung", "Guttentarg"(dono whether the spelling is right or not).....its a very small town...but a nice place to walk wif some cool places to eat tapi tengok harga..hehehe....harga pun so cool....haha

about 20 of us i guess went...using 4 cars in a convoy i think....its not tat far from Adelaide city...its juz along the highway which is heading towards Melbourne....we had a great meal in the Hahndorf Inn restaurant...big serve, and very nice and full.....








we had some large bread with butter at first....then followed by chips and some large dish which contained roasted pork, sour crab etc....its a restaurant tat serves food of course..and mainly beer but got sum other drinks la...













the place looks very classy....i can say...sayangnya cant finish da food coz it was too much..we're supposed to pluck strawberries after tat but sayangnya...it wasnt stawberry season yet. but we went to the chocolate factory after tat...and of course bought some original chocolates for myself...







chocolate was very yummy..bought 3 for myself hehehe.......It was oso my first time trying Cola with cherry flavour but i was told in they do sell it in malaysia....to me, i can take it...but for some ppl they dont like it coz the taste i can say its different..taste like medicine...but i still can take it






well i dont anytin much to say...juz some extra pics to show....

Australian terms..

things are different here....I learned some new stuff in Australia, especially their English terms...Im doing Australian studies, of course...I also must learn english coz I got IELTS in 2010...and I MUST GET THE BAND SCORE OF 7!!!....so high.....Im doing nursing now...if I dont get the 7, I wouldn't be enrolled into the nurses board of South Australia....haiiiih . I learned english, I also found out tat Australian english can be a little different...they dont like long words or full words sumtimes...if u dont understand, here's an example:

McDonald is the full word. To them its quite long to pronoune...so they shorten it McD or Maccas...

there are few short terms words tat I juz learned...here's wat I know:


Australian - Aussie
Cigarette - Cigie
Barbeque - Barbie
Mosquito - Mozzie

I remember there's a major shopping company in Australia called Woolworths.....tat name has short term too, which is Woolies....

Aussies love short terms...easier to pronounce words, so to speak..

Work placement

Hah...juz started my intensive work placement at the Aged Care Residential dis week..started on last monday..I never thought time passes so quickly...I juz arrived in Adelaide last June and here I am in my work placement for 3 weeks...it's a good experience though to work in the Aged Care. You'll see all sorts of characters that old people have...and It really test ur patience...sometimes they talk so loud or shoutat u but actually they're happy...the reason they do that because they're deaf...u hav to respond to them by talking straight into their ear...and juz now one resident shout at me and my supervising carer juz because she doesn't want her bed to be lean next to the wall....but the reason we did that is because to avoid her from falling down from bed...im actually still undergo training as a carer in the Aged Care Residential..as u know it's very demanding throughout Australia..Im finishing my Aged Care course on the 22nd September...juz 2 more weeks...then I'll start my nursing course in November till 2010....

Yesterday, one funny thing I observed was this...I was helping an enrolled nurse to transfer a resident to another room from his previous room...so I helped to transfer some of his clothes & shoes..then the enrolled nurse saw an Air Freshener spray on his table...she asked the resident whether he wants that or not...the resident answered yes...and he added: IT"S FOR MY ARMPIT...i was laughing inside of me...he used an Air Freshener spray as his deodorant!!!!...juz wana laugh u know..hahaha

Anyways I juz got pic of a how does an Aged Care Residential looks....it juz the dinning room...
