Recap

We're finishing our O&G posting this week. Surgery next.
It was quite an experience being able to watch all those normal deliveries and Caesarian section deliveries. How something so tiny and fragile can grow up to be someone kind and gentle or mean and destructive.
Still looking forward to our Paeds posting, though. 
From Obstetrician & Gynaecologist to Paediatrician to General Surgeon, now I'd very much like to be a neonatologist. Fingers crossed on that one.
Won't be going home for some time. Mom and dad will be coming over next month. Really looking forward to that.
Bought a couple of neon tetras some weeks back. They're doing fine so far. The guppies I got in the beginning didn't make it, unfortunately. I think it was the heat. Poor things.
Been cooking lately. So tired of eating out. Things have become so expensive. Petrol alone takes up about 1/3 of my allowance every month. Made chicken varuval last night for dinner. Turned out pretty well :D Though I peeled the skin on my thumb off while using the potato peeler to peel the potatoes.
Spent Easter away from the family. Felt really homesick that morning. Woke up so early to get ready to go to the hospital for rounds instead of getting ready to go to church for service. But that's life isn't it?
Very thankful to have everything going smoothly, otherwise. Classes, postings, personal life. Very thankful and very happy.
Cheers to a good week.
:)

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...
