I'm 23!

Another birthday has come and gone.
No dengue this year so I got to celebrate with my friends at uni :D
Went for dinner on the 13th since everything is usually double the price and there's usually a set menu on Valentine's Day itself. 
Halfway through dinner they surprised me with a cute little bouquet of flowers (of which I'm holding in the pictures :D)




 Shamelessly took pictures just before we left.
 And before the night came to an end we sort of discovered Muar's so-called night life. Went to a lounge & bistro just to chill out for a bit before heading back.
 On D-Day, I was woken up by loud banging from my front door. I thought the girls came up and wanted to go somewhere or something.
But when I opened the door it was my dad standing there with bags of gifts.
I have this thing where when I'm taken by surprise everything just stops. I stop thinking, I stop moving, I stop wondering. I just gasp, my eyes bulge out I think (?) and my mouth forms a little 'O'. Takes about 8 to 10 seconds for my brain to function again.
So I opened the door and dad comes in and gives me a huge hug and I'm standing there doing my best not to burst into happy tears.
In the evening I wanted to spend some time with the girls so we decided to check out this little cafe we came across.
Little did I know that these monkeys planned a surprise birthday celebration with the boys as well.
I had a black sesame sponge cake. It was quite nice actually. Very different. 
That's Zack by the way, holding the cake out for me :P
My lecturer popped in as well. With another cake. Which was extremely surprising. Thoughtful, yes. But still surprising.
 And then I got presents :3

 My sister got me this. I've pinned it onto my bag I take to class everyday.
 And I finally got my Modern Muse! :')
I had an amazing birthday this year.
Can't wait to head home and see mom and my little sis and my other friends.
Can't thank everyone enough for making this birthday such an incredibly memorable one.
All the calls that came in at 12am sharp, the continuous messages pouring in, the birthday shout outs, tweets and posts.
Very, very happy.
:)

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...

Damn Son

"Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, come here lemme talk to you.  Before you let a man sweep you off your feet, be sure he is prepared to catch you when you fall. You might be too much woman for him.You might be too independent. Too smart. Too much of a catch. He may not be ready for the weight of how beautiful you are. How gorgeous you are. How strong you are. He may not be ready yet. You, have to be prepared...to be yourself regardless of if he can carry you or not. So it's important for you to know his past. His attributes. His strengths. If he's prepared to handle how beautiful you are. How gorgeous, how so awesome you are. So, I'm here to tell you...that it's super important for you to take your time. Don't just listen to sweet nothings. Don't listen to words, watch actions. Because you're too fragile to be dropped.  Your heart is way too valuable to be mishandled.  And your brain don't need a bruise. So before ...

Dubai

Dubai was actually a layover. Since I have friends there I decided to spend a few days with them before flying out to London.  I took Emirates to and from Dubai & the UK & it was great. The unlimited wine was a major plus :P Only spent about 3 days in Dubai so I saw only a few of the major must-see spots.  My friend picked me up from the airport & we went to her place first. It was about 20 minutes away. More depending on traffic. Roads are very broad and each side has 6 lanes with a minimum of 3 on average. You see a lot of SUVs there. There's a lot of American influence. The UAE doesn't have their own national car.  It felt a lot like being in KL at first. Only after a while I started taking in the difference. Plenty of skyscrapers everywhere. But unlike KL, buildings here are built much closer together. & there is a LOT of development going on, still.  After washing up at home, we headed out to the Burj. The entrance is within th...
