How to adult with Joy

I can’t believe I have lived here for one year on my own already. Cheers to me! Time to reminisce all the lonely times in lockdown and the not too bad times.😌

Today, sparks a day in a long time where I was yelled at for being Asian and apparently “closing the door on someone”. I swear I meet the craziest bat shit people in hospital (staff and patients, patient’s family). Don’t let anyone be racist to you! Stand up to them (when it’s safe to do so). I also talk about the other surprising things that happened to me today.

The lockdown had been extended until the 27th of July 😅😅😅..I talk about how I feel about that and all the stressors in my life, in a big whinge fest kind of way.😂

I discovered the purposes of rangehoods and shower fans... and that you should always leave them on for at least 15 fo 20 minutes after showering and cooking!

A confession to make, detailed events of Phillip Island, life learnings from trip-Wave analogy, and a pondering of my future life social decisions.

Last minute getaway before going back to work

Annual leave has been a sad time, I wasn’t able to go back to my home town to see my family in Adelaide. :( I was stuck in Melbourne the whole time and unfortunately experienced a broken heart during this time too. I rant and I also make some plans for myself to help heal my broken heart.

I get covid swabbed for the first time since the pandemic started! The thrills, boredom, and sadness of being in quarantine while waiting for an unknown amount of time for the results is sad.

Death. Let’s talk about death rip 🪦... It’s a natural part of life, but I feel like no one really talks about it and its so taboo. :(. But honestly, death around us shapes us to be who we are today and who we will become. Another question for you is, do you feel like you have lived life to an extent where you would be happy to die now?

Never have I ever faced a dying patient on my ward, until this week that is. In a week full of struggles, difficulties, and most of all Imposter Syndrome.. I really wonder what my role is. It seems to me that I am doing a lot of stuff not even related to my degree. On the other hand, I get told off for trying to tell other people what to do. Why is life so hard sometimes?!

I am back! After a long weeks I am here to rant about how tired I am and how I became who I am now. Please note there maybe some pretty dark things shared in this episode, so please be prepared for that.

I recently went to Sydney during my annual leave! It was an epic 4 day trip of constant eating several meals and desserts in one day! I had so much fun catching up with my friends and also pretending I was on an overseas adventure! I know we can’t travel overseas now, but it makes it nicer when I discover that Australia is very beautiful. Please check out my Instagram page for more details on my f...

I finally got my new credit card in the mail! Woohoo 🥳. Here I discuss the pros and cons of having a credit card and compare two different credit cards 😂

Listen to me eat and talk about the auction I went to earlier today ..

Do you find music moves you? Do you have recollection of things that happened in your life and the so called “themesongs” or songs that you constantly listen to during those times? And it resounded with you and dtuck with you?

I reflect on this week in this weeks recording. It’s been a tough week this week, with some pretty big discharges and preparation for my patients moving between hospitals and going to rehab. I reflect on what I have learnt do far and also what I hope to improve on. I enjoy working with the intern doctors who have an amazing and admirable work ethic and ethos.

In this slightly shorter episode, I discuss my own blood test results and my concerns of what the implications are. I also did some training with a new coach. I’ve also decided to start buying frozen meal packs instead of groceries 🤣

Follow me on my new food blog on Instagram: eating_with_joy . I also rant about the first movie I watched in Melbourne, the foods I ate, and also why I’ve been so busy NOT updating this podcast and my blog. LOL.

Cooking because I can’t go out 😭😭😭

Feeling a bit low and burnt out this week, I investigate why I feel this way and what I should do go get out of my rut.

Here I waffle on about what I consider my personal adulting mildstones...plus i also have a coughing fit at the end.. I swear its not covidddd 🤞

Self-diagnosed and self-treated eye infection 😅😅😅... that damn hayfever caused my eyes to become so itchy and I probably rubbed my eyes too much.🙄.. like a noob. I also discuss the chaos at work due fo unplanned sick leave 😅.. trying to multitask is hard 🥺🥺🥺

The google app for translation is amazing....!!!

I have become a Victorian Driver. In my induction to Victorian drivers club, I have been tailgated, cut in front, and honked at several times today. In other breaking news, I try to transfer my gym membership from an interstate gym... I also then attempt fo get new contact lenses only to be told my prescription is too old and they can’t see me before the end of the year sadly. Life is hard. Adulti...

Finally found some pros that are willing to play with. I go down memory lane about my journey playing badminton and reflect on what a big part of my life it is.
