Loving/Living This Moment


It's already March!
Every time I begin writing another entry I can't help but to wonder where all the time has gone.
I'm halfway through the first posting of the first semester of the year. This is the second last semester of my whole course. By this time next year I'll be waiting to get a job somewhere. Daunting.

My trip to Langkawi was pretty great!

We had really good food and took some really good shots. Made lots of really good memories, too. Looking forward to the next trip.
Then my birthday came round and I'm now officially a quarter of a century old.
 My gang surprised me with some of my favourite cake slices just after midnight. Then for dinner I was blindfolded and taken to a nice place in Malacca. We ate, drank, talked, laughed, took some pictures and just like that the night came to an end. Also got some really lovely gifts, notes, messages and flowers.

And I have a little partner in crime now.
This is Gizmo. She's currently about 5 months old and is a mixed breed. She loves jumping on pretty much anything that can be jumped on and she's killed 2 lizards for me already. It's taken me a whole month to get used to her living with me because I've lived alone for so long and I always need my space and she's so clingy! I was never into cats. Can't say I never liked them. Can't say I liked them either. I was always somewhat in between. But mom adopted her for me after telling her that I wanted a little pet and since a puppy would be more of a handful I settled on a kitten instead and she's what I got. (Rabbits, hamsters, chicks and fish are all pets of my past in case you're wondering. And no other animal will ever replace my doggies back home). I have to say, though, she has really grown on me. She comes when she's called and is always, always next to me. Whether I'm in the shower or in the loo -.- And she's always sitting on my table while I study. Hard not to love her. She's actually sleeping on the table right now as I type this.
So that's pretty much how things have been going these many weeks.
I'm in a very happy place right now. I'm complete, all on my own, and I'm just genuinely happy. So many things have happened and I'm the person I am because of those circumstances and situations but I honestly wouldn't change any of those things for the world.
I've learnt to love, appreciate and accept myself in spite of my physical flaws. I've learnt to respect myself enough to walk away from anything or anyone that doesn't bring me peace of mind or happiness. I've also learnt that I truly am worth so, so much. And I will not settle for anything or anyone I don't deserve. I will no longer beg for love, attention or affection from anyone. I will no longer waste time, effort and energy on anyone who's not willing to do the same for me.
Life is way too short to be anything but happy.
God has been really good to me and I'm nothing but happy in this very moment.
Walking into all things bright and beautiful this year and very much looking forward to it.
❤

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 ...

Weekender

It's been a rather good week to say the least. Assignments and tests are piling up slowly but surely. Went shopping today straight after class. Was looking for a comfortable pair of black flats. The lace one I had previously had torn at the sides (thanks to my gigantically broad feet) and the one pair I recently brought from home seemed smaller than when I'd last used them. Walked around for easily an hour looking for a pair that would catch my eye. Finally found one in Vincci. Also lace (don't ask me why I like lace I just do). Tried on their biggest size and it fit! Went to Mango and looked around for a pair of beige slacks. Found a pair of cargo pants. Minus the pockets. Those big, baggy, comfy pants. Grabbed a U.S. size 6, since all my other pants from there are that size, only to come back and realize that it was way too big. TOO BIG I SAY . I should have settled for the dress I saw but no. I wanted the pants. Gah. Removed the button and adjusted ...
