Nothing Much Happened Today...

The title says it all. Haha.

I've been sleeping too late this past few days. Was very sleepy today. So I went to the John Medley Library and slept a bit. Haha. Had an interesting lecture yesterday. Admittedly it was a Theme 2 one, but I think it challenged my perspective. I found out quite recently that the bond onmy scholarship is not inclusive of the 2 years housemanship and 3 years compulsory service, which means that the total number of years I'll be in the public health system is now 15. And I had been complaining about that fact. Yet, yesterday's lecture reminded me of this pertinent question: why am I doing what I am doing? Who do I aim to serve ultimately? I'd been thinking a lot about the 'me', so much so that I've forgotten about the 'them' that I want to help. And I also believe that God will make a way if he wants me in a certain direction, that if He indeed has it in His plan for me to specialise, He will provide the means to that end.

Anyway, had CBP on Tuesday. Gathered data from the houses and then went back to Ormeau Rd and fiddled with Microsoft Publisher. Haha. It was my first time. And found out that I'll be going to Warragul for my Rural Placement this semester. Met up with a few others going there as well. And some of them will be driving there and are willing to give others a lift. =) I'm extremely thankful for that. Had dinner with Jia Chee, Sharon, Yi Xin, Stan and Wan Jie yesterday. And watched Jamie Oliver kill chickens. Cute chickens. It didn't help that we actually had chicken wings for dinner as well. I left to do some of the dishes after that because I do not want to feel guilty everytime I eat chicken wings. After all, it is one of my main food groups here.

Was a simulated patient in today's Clinical Skills. And was told that I am a good actress. Haha. Never would have thought that one up.

I've been thinking about the friends that I have. I'm blessed in that sense. In Singapore, I met this crazy bunch of people who formed this tight-knit group which were like family in a foreign land. I was sad to leave them. But I'm glad that I decided to go to Sunway after Singapore because that's where I met these 2 really beautiful and wonderful people who have left their imprints in my heart and been my support and sounding pillars in my times of need. They've given me numerous incredible memories and their friendships are the most enduring. With them, I have no need for masks or subterfuge and just truly be myself. With them, even the most humdrum and boring events become exciting. Thanks you two! You guys know who you are. =) And I'm happy that I'm where I am now. I feel like I belong. Lunches together in school, catching up with each other, keeping one another up to date with the latest going-ons, studying together... these simple things are precious memories.

And I'm glad I met every single person that I did. Because each has impacted me. And I'm very much a better person when I'm with them. Here's to everlasting friendships that can withstand the tests of time! =)
