i am back!

i am back after two months break!

time flies eh. i looked back at my last entry, it was during my minor posting. now, i am about to start my semester 9, which marks the start of my final year as medical student. somehow, now i feel the term medical student is not that bad after all.

two months. taiwan then to singapore. so much that i have gained. exposure, knowledge, skills, experiences, friendships, and weight too! lol..

this post is going to be so long if i share everything here. but i am more than glad to share my experience with anybody.

i am still not bored describing how much i loved taiwan's beauty, how much i missed the bubble tea ( and other food :D) , how surprised i was by the organised health care system there, etc etc. not forgetting my hospital experience in SGH. this part is boring, but undeniably, i have learnt so much so much over the 4 weeks there.

and of course all these wont be as exciting if i havent had experienced them with my friends, be it the new friends whom i have met or friends whom i have known for ages. it was nice to stay together with my ex-roomie again after so long. my stay in singapore would be so dull without her and her sister.

the 2 months was also a time for me to reflect. of whether what i am fighting for all this while is what i really want. are the sacrifices which i need to make/already made along the way worth while? is that the place where i truly want to be? is that the life i want to lead?

i don't have answer for that. but the most important lesson i have learnt is that nothing beats home. no matter how good, how nice, how organised, how awesome, how wonderful other countries are, nothing beats being in your own homeland. i felt so patriotic for the first time. lol.. and that also made me reflect on my future plans.

should i just stay here. bah. i don't know.
