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 upon a time significant other.
How quickly time seems to fly and things seem to change yet feelings...feelings stay pretty much the same sometimes.
Which is exasperating. Really. 
But that's life isn't it. You win some you lose some and no matter what happens you move forward.
I have to key off here before mom comes up. I'd say pen off but I'm not exactly writing per se so you get the drift.
Cheers to the coming weekend, everyone.
Stay wonderful.

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...

Tonight I Can Write the Saddest Lines

Part of me finds it very sad that my own parents don't know the kind of person they have brought up and raised. They see me as someone who is very selfish, dominating, as someone who bullies her sister, arrogant, impatient, unkind, not bothered, irresponsible. Someone who just doesn't care or give a damn. In my mind these past few years, a majority of my thoughts have been revolving around how I will be helping my parents out financially once I start earning. I might not earn much in the beginning. But I already know that chunks of my pay will be going towards my sister's monthly allowance as she will be in college by the time I start working, and also towards my parents, to settle off whatever bills they have. The rest of what I earn will be used for my other necessities and savings, etc. I never tell them this because I feel it is my responsibility as the eldest to do my part in this family. And when the time comes they will see what I'm doing. There's no ...

Dubai, Germany, London

So! I have to admit it's been a really long while since my last entry. I was working on my food blog, briefly. Then in between life happened & I haven't updated it yet but fret not! I will soon. I just got back from my trip overseas & since I took plenty of pictures I thought I'd share them & blog about the places I visited. Will be starting with Dubai. Then Germany. Then London/UK.
