This week saw the return of the F1 to Melbourne after a 2 year break. As a result, the city was full to the brim of visitors. I even had friends from interstate visit which was nice to have a catch up after not seeing them for years! While work was a lot gentler this […]
Well, this week has been all about recovering from the last and getting ready for Ramadan. Due to staff shortages and sick leave my entire day of work was cancelled on Friday and I was ecstatic! 😀 I ended up drinking way too much coffee and having brunch before not being able to for a […]
After a lovely weekend off last weekend, it’s been a bit of a grinding slog this week. It looked like it’d be busy with 4 on calls in 7 days but I didn’t expect this! As I write this it’s just past midnight and I’m in hospital waiting to hear if we’re going to bring […]
It was my birthday this weekend and I was treated to a wonderful getaway in a lovely country cottage in Daylesford, Victoria. Even though it’s only about 90mins away from Melbourne, I had never been there before! It’s a well known location to visit from Melbourne, so I was a bit surprised to find that […]
The last week has been tumultuous at best. As I write this, I’m meant to be in Singapore but due to the complexities of travel during an easing pandemic, I couldn’t make it due to how long some of the processes take. Not that it was going to be a “fun” trip, but it was […]
After the work week, I slept at 10pm Friday night and woke up at 10am the next day. I normally can’t sleep in during the day but realised that apart from the day in Torquay, it had been a constant barrage of long hours the last few weeks. Totally accidentally as well! The last fortnight […]
It took me a while to figure out why the Ukraine situation in the past week has been on my mind so much rather than any other conflict of recent times. I think the main reason is this: this was a clear unprovoked act of aggression and violence. I’m not an expert in the situation […]
It’s my second trip out to the Great Ocean Road this year! You’d be forgiven thinking that I enjoyed the beach or something (I’m more a cold weather person!). This was a bit of a getaway for just 1 night but it felt much more refreshing than that… It may have something to do with […]
The bit of relative quiet from the state declared Code Brown (basically, health system overwhelmed so only Emergency cases considered) in Victoria is rapidly easing. It’s noticeably busier at work now and the phone calls are coming hard and fast about the upcoming weeks. This bit of spare time allowed me to look back at […]
The past week has been a continuation overall with working less hours even though there was an on call in there that had me getting home at 4am! Things are going to get busier from tomorrow so I’m savouring the last few days of calm. I managed to unbox the Mavic 3 I ordered a […]
