Motivated

Attended MBBS (Malaya) 2005/2010 Hippocratic Oath (Declaration of Geneva) Taking Ceremony & Temporary Registration Certificate Giving Ceremony at my faculty building Balai Ungku Aziz today. Tears welled up in my eyes when i see the joy in the faces of new medical doctors upon receiving their certs & the solemnity during the oath taking ceremony; i was so touched!

In a year's time, i will follow their foot steps in receiving my very first university degree, and to hold the responsibility of treating my patients ethically as i should be.

The various high achievements they've got, i wouldn't dare to challenge, but i will try my best to do my best ;)

To all my friends who are going to graduate this year, may this not be the only great achievement you attain in your life, may it be the stepping stone for you to reach out higher and even greater! All the very best to all of you in your future undertakings, and may we meet again in future ;) Keep in touch!

Recharged for the final week of year4

Had a great weekend :)

Fully recharged & destressed to do my best to accomplish my tasks during this final week of year4 before i start my study weeks & final exams, and then declare myself as a final year student :)

Pray for me.

Finding lost self

At loss recently...

I need to get my old self back to fight all these battles...

I miss myself during secondary school days...

Am i that insecure that i've to seek refuge & reassurance in other people?

I've lost a big chunk of my self-confidence...

This is not the "me" i know of...

I've sailed through rougher tides; has the steering on my ship gone broken? The radar, perhaps?

Expectations... are they too high? Or have i not worked hard enough?

It's time to move out of my comfort zone & wake up!

First things first!

Sometimes reality makes people realise that the outcome is going to be similar whether you give up or persevere. Ain't that true?

Am I not cut up for this?

Enlighten me, please.

The Road Not Taken ~ Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that, the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

two roads diverged in a wood, and I --

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
