Of Conquered Places

Took daddy out into town today to show him around. Went to the night market. Or JB Bazaar as they call it. Walked around for a while. They've got some pretty cool stuff if you actually take the trouble to look around. 
 Passed this place by. 'My Little Corner'. It's a salon I read about recently where some of the local artistes go to apparently.
 No idea what this building is being used for but it looked...very colonial.
 And then I showed him this place. Roost Cafe. We went upstairs to see what it's like and he was really taken by it. Such a funky place with a really cool concept. Guess this is where I'll be hanging out on weekend nights from now on.
And after reading about this on the 'What's Going On In Johor Bahru' page for ages I finally gave it a try. Had saffron rose tea with pearls. Definitely this place over Chatime any day. Love the simple concept and their teas simply taste that much better. Very pleasant owner. Will be going back very soon.
                   
They actually used shipping containers to make this little place. Creative much?

Everything's been going really well so far. 
(I hope I didn't just jinx it.)
Finals in just over a week and then I'll be home again.
Really nice to have dad around for a little while.
God has been good.
:)

To Date

Very happy to say that I've settled nicely into the new place. Everything's set up and unpacked and it finally feels like home. Everyone's very friendly here. So helpful. Traffic isn't that bad. Places are close by. We get everything we need. The only downside is that there's no cinema here. Which means I'll be traveling up north frequently now and I can't wait. This semester doesn't exactly seem like a particularly busy one so am really looking forward to some traveling.  Just finished watching Northanger Abbey. Was checking my hair with the phone's front cam and one thing led to another and I took about twelve selfies just like that. Heh. I tell you the things I do when I'm alone. Completely hooked on Downton Abbey. Finished season four and half of season three yesterday. Can't wait for season five to start. Also waiting for season eleven of Grey's Anatomy.  I  have unlimited WiFi. No more quota nonsense so have been ca...

To Date.

I've recently been nominated for the Liebster Blog Award thanks to a friend of mine I've only known via Facebook for some years now. The blog post for that is still being drafted. I've been posed some pretty tricky questions /;) Haven't been blogging as frequently as I used to coz I didn't bring my laptop back home this time round. Didn't think I'd have much use for it. Things have been a little...crazy here to say the least. I'm actually twenty-one now. Though I must say, the word 'freedom' was never synonymous with this age. All I ever related to this milestone was responsibility. Funny. It's been such a rollercoaster ride of emotions. I could never completely describe it. I've been thinking about how I've celebrated my birthdays all these years. Two birthdays I celebrated away from home. My eighteenth, which was in the UK with Aunty M and Uncle T, and my twentieth, which was in Johor with my classmates and a once...

It's Dr., Now!

It's been 10 days since my final professional exam & announcement of my results. I'm a doctor. & though I've been studying my entire life to reach this stage it still feels so surreal. It still feels like I need to head back south to continue with classes. Like I'm still on some semester break that is going to come to an end. Every so often throughout my day it hits me; I don't have to study anymore - for now at least. But then this though gets clouded over by other things & I forget. I have to constantly keep reminding myself that I've made it. I've actually, finally made it this far. As daunting as this whole new chapter - that's about to begin - is, part of me is excited to start. I'm excited to see where my future takes me, not only in which field of medicine I decide to pursue but also to which place. Big cities are out of the question for me. I realized, over the past couple of days, that since I've left th...
