inspirations

As the days draw closer, ( t-14days), my adrenaline is pumping more and more. I do care on how I perform on this exam, not only for the money and time spent, also its a good gauge on where do I stand.

Today, as I scroll through facebook as my entertainment, ok, I know my life is boring, anyways, I felt soo proud of my university, seeing juniors winning national awards,reading my batchmates posts on good perfomance in hospital, admiring how my senior completed and winning 100km trail and making a new national record.

Yes, I have met countless inspiring figures along this journey. What we, the mighty mortal can achieve is unimaginable. What was impossible is made possible. All these things never failed to make me stop and reflect, and what human mind can actually achieve.

And I am truly grateful for being able to meet these people, for being my inspiration, for making me believe in miracles.

Yes, I hope to be one inspiration to others, maybe not now, but future, I hope that this journey of mine can help to inspire others. I hope that with the same insane perseverance which I have been pushing myself with these few years, I can achieve a greater height.

May us be the blessings and inspirations to people around us.

A new chapter of life

It's october! Been away from the blog for too long. Yes, I have graduated, finally. Although I am slightly disappointed that I couldn't achieve my goal, but well, that's life.

''A champion is defined not by their wins but by how they can recover when they fall.'' Serena William -US Open 2012 champion. 

I shall not look back.

Quoting from a friend, we are still considered kindergarten in this journey of medicine. There are much more to come.

and yes, today marks the first day of work for many of my friends! Wherever they are, wish they luck and hopefully with the knowledge which we have acquired in this few years, they will be able to return back to the community!

So what about me? I am choosing another path. Just like the poem by Robert Frost, The Road not Taken, I am taking a far different road, road to the states. Am reading for my steps now, step by step. Taking a baby step each day.

Here's a link to a journal dedicated to my preparations. There are so many many other people out there who are also taking this route, many are mothers of a few, juggling between work, studies and family. So I feel rather 'lucky' to be able to read this step in peace.

And yes, 2012, more magical moments to come.

I want the krou of 2013 be able to thank krou of 2012 for making this decision, taking this big step, and to thank krou of 2012 for persevering and working hard. yes. I want to be able to thank myself ( and of course people who have helped me a lot along the way) when I look back.

No regrets. No more.
