Today is Chinese New Year eve. I will be having dinner with fellow overseas medical students turned interns in the East Ocean Restaurant in Sydney tonight.

Professionally, I start work (actual work, not counting the week of orientation I've had) in Liverpool Hospital tomorrow, curiously on the first day of the Chinese New Year. I will be working in the Emergency Department, in the subacute section for my first day.

Found out today that my application for a credit card has been approved. Problem is that they want me to present three payslips to prove my employment status before they will release the card to me -- this is a problem because I have not received any payslips yet, having only had one week of (paid) orientation.


Financial markets outlook - large low pressure cold front approaching U.S. stock markets. Rough weather expected during and after next Fed meeting.
