All Smiles

I like how things are moderately paced here. 
I like the view I get of the early morning sun from my balcony and of the sun setting as I drive back home in the evening. 
I like how everyone here is so damn friendly. The majority of the people here are over fifty, sixty years old. There's always a smile on their face as they greet you or try to help you. It's such a pleasant environment.
I like the variety of Chinese food I get here. 
I like how there are so many little cafes around town.
This was at the Espresso Bar just five minutes from my place. Served very good chocolate fudge, too.
I have to say, I really wasn't keen on coming to this place. I was so upset and so disappointed for many months but by God's grace things are going just fine and I'm at complete peace.
I like how everything is just a five or ten minute drive away from where I'm staying. Town is a little bit of Penang and Malacca all rolled into one. 
Went for Cell Group last night since I can't go for Sunday service because of classes. Met some lovely people (who were mostly over thirty).
I cannot describe or explain to you how I felt when the cell leader started his introduction about the topic of discussion last night.
Change.
Transition.
Exactly what I'm experiencing right now and I just knew that this is where I'm meant to be. I don't know why. I don't know when things will become clear but I know for a fact that things have happened the way they have within this past year for a reason. 
We're told to embrace change. It's so much easier said than done, don't you think?
But if there's one thing I've learnt about change, it's that no matter where we're meant to go or what we're meant to do, if you pray about it and you ask for guidance, God will be right there with you. If he takes you to it, he will take you through it. 
All you need to have is faith.
It hasn't been easy.
All the trials that I've had to face since I moved away from home. All the difficult experiences I've had. All the difficult people I've met.
Everything happened for a reason.
Everything is still happening for a reason.
And to be able to wake up every morning knowing that I'm taken care of is truly such a blessing.
I'm at complete and utter peace.
:)

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...
