I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes

Five years of lessons in medical school had finally come to an end. Well, I was supposed to be glad but surprisingly, I'm not. Daily whinings about attending clinics and classes were just obligatory when I thought doing a customary task bores me quite a lot. In fact it does. Today's the first day of study break and I kinda missed going to class the moment I opened my eyes this morning. Surprisingly, it was only 7 am and I realized I have sufficient allowance to slumber for the day. I did anyway. It was somehow a different feeling because this is not a break from study but a study break. Stress is always there and there's no way I can avoid it at the moment. I do miss going to the clinics yet I never want to have them again.

Yesterday, I had all the fun that I needed with my groupmates since that was our last day of class and we were done with our end posting in Family Medicine. Had the most contented afternoon lunching Thai food and a long conversation after that. Before heading home, we decided to drop by Jonker for cendol and some mischieves. We were the big kids (where the summation of our ages comes to a quarter century) doing kiddo stuffs. *applause*

As for dinner, we had our usual end of posting dine out with our honorable guest, Dr. Anoop, who will be leaving the college tomorrow. ): Medicine posting was fun whenever he conducted a class, with all the 'lubdub' sound he made was really funny. I shouldn't get any more emotional seriously, but I can't help it! I don't want to leave these people I met here! ): I'm weird cuz I hate goodbyes... sigh... but life goes on. That's a reminder I keep telling myself that better days are coming ahead and I shall not stay stagnant at this point of life. And the good news is I'm moving on, and again, come what may...

Moroccan Night

The annual Lagenda Night was certainly given two thumbs up! Firstly cuz we earned ourselves a day of holiday and secondly, the night was really fun for a temporary pause from studies and stress. Past two weeks had been quite a nightmare dealing with whatever I ought to at this point of life and I swear this is gonna be the toughest ordeal to ever pull through. I'm trying hard to juggle between studies and emotions. So, ask me no questions I tell you no lies. My little faith is still burning.

The evening was themed the 'Moroccan Night'. Talk about Moroccans, I seriously bore no knowledge about their dressing prior to this. Alright, prolly Alibaba and Aladdin?? That was all I knew and certainly had no time to play dress up with my friends when I only decided to attend the event a couple of hours before it started. And I'm really thankful my religion doesn't require me to wear a headdress. Pun not intended. But I really look horrible when I tried wrapping my big head with a shawl!! Crap, I could just topple upside-down laughing at my 'tudungfied' face. This will be the last event in my medical school life. It's really scary to know what's coming ahead when you have nothing else to look forward to but exams. )):

Under-dressed Huiming and Wendy vs. well dressed Michelle

Powerpuff??

So not Moroccan except for Michelle

Wany's white shawl.

My housemate, Koonling. Oh am totally loving Michelle's gorgeous eyes. Sighhh dark circles and eyebags are my worst enemy now. Should have slapped on some make up but was too lazy to do anything for the evening.

Wany! She's blur but she's nice!

Chernlin and Michelle.

Huixin has a super good memory I wished to have too )):

Wheeee~~ I feel so tall that night ^.^

Shidan and Syah.

I sat beside these two for two years in Manipal, Karthik and Kritika and believe me, they have a most dramatic friendship I'd ever witnessed. From the day they started fighting at Year 1 and became foes, and I was awkwardly their middle person, and how they eventually patched things back and now, ahermmm... Amazing I tell you!

Khaveen. So he's one mate I'll have in Sungai Petani if I get posted there!

Me: Did you lose weight?? Naveen: Is it better or worse?? Me: It accentuates my chubbiness!! Naveen: -__-

Veno, the best class rep.

Dr. Anoop!! My favorite lecturer!! He's leaving the college soon.. how sadddd!!

Jiahong. Ohh I just realized we wore tops of the same hue.

Hon Wee and Cheng Sing's R.O.M.

Congratulations to big bro and sis-in-law for being lawfully wed now! We have a new member in our family and it's expanding! :D Seriously, it's not at all easy to reach this stage of relationship when hurdles are inevitable throughout the journey. I lost the love I loved the most and I know exactly how it feels. Anyway, just really happy for them and I'm so looking forward to the day the marriage is held! Congratz once again! May this relationship be flourished and nurtured abundantly by the grace of God. :D

Jia Hong's 26th

Hello! It was the big boy's birthday! Happy Birthday Jia Hong! And we little kiddos made him wear all sorts of funny accessories like the party hat, mask and whistle! Big boy Jia Hong was really sporting though he did sulked a bit. We've been groupmates for almost a year and he's like our big brother whom I think is fun to be with. So that was the second last birthday party we got to do before we graduate ): I'm sure I'll miss these people all the more and it's really sad to be away from them once we proceed into the next chapter of our lives. I'll never meet the same people again. ): I'm anxious to know what's coming up next in my life. Will I be adapting well to work? Will I regret the decision I made? Will everything be in control? Will things turn out the way I want? What if it doesn't? So many questions! (: But I guess, a mystery without a clue is always God's mastery. I shall live with my decision! Do it well, Wendy!! Hwaiting!!!

What Faith Can Do

This is what I hang on to now. So shattered, so fearful, so lost. But I'll take a leap of faith and keep on believing. Till the day my prayers are answered, I'll keep telling myself to 'P.U.S.H. (pray until something happens) Wendy, P.U.S.H.'

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you're stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

Overcome the odds
You don't have a chance

When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!

Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise

To: Miss Tan Pauling

Dearest Pauling,

I finally got to read the postcard! :D Such lovely greetings from Gold Coast! Wanted to send one in return but I'm really busy these days so I'll reply here, okay? Since you won't be active on Skype nor Whatsapp. I suppose you're still reading my blog? :D

Awww.. so envious of you! 5 weeks of holiday for you, no wonder so many albums being uploaded on Facebook. Hehe must be having your sweet honeymoon there huh? I was thinking how awesome it'd be to be a student there. Haha! Nice pictures by the way and a couple of familiar places I'd visited in Melbourne and Perth. That was so long ago, even I don't remember where I'd been. Maybe it's time to revisit huh?! Please don't return so soon, alright? Till I've saved enough money. d:

Sad to say, I'm still a student when I received this postcard. Hopefully I'll graduate in another 2.5 months (by hope or by crude, I must!) So you'll start work end of this year? Don't worry. 4 years will pass just like that. Remember the deal we used to talk about? You be my nurse if I do have a clinic on my own? Hehe I'll be the most relaxing boss you can find. d: I have not decided where I want to apply. Anywhere up north I guess. Don't plan to stay back in BP. Will deffo let you know once I've made up my mind. Too many uncertainties at the moment that I don't really wanna think about till I'm done with my exams. Sigh tough tough. ): Life is seriously stressful at every stage with never ending worries. ): I just wanna get out of this boring chapter.

Hey Miss Pau, I think I'm really missing you a lot as I'm typing this. If only you were here for a pillow talk!! ): I really have so much to tell you. Ok, hoping for you to come back ASAP now! Haha. You have all the good food here! Everyone here is fine I think. Loong is happily missing WeiWei who's currently in the land full of liver (Liverpool). And Khaihong, I don't know if he got through the interview. (KKH, please update yourself when you read this ok, kthxbai!) Meicher is enjoying life in Korea. I'll be visiting her after my exams. So, that's basically what I know. Been so busy till I could hardly have a catch up with them either.

Alright, I'll stop here first. Till I hear from you again. Best wishes to you too and God bless! Take care! Lovesss.

With lotsa hugs and kisses,

Wendy

Convocation 2011

The long awaited weekend was here at last! One of the most touchy moments seeing those seniors in their graduation robes and caps while wondering when is my turn ever coming. 2012, hopefully. :D Also the long awaited moment to see the beloved up on stage for that most precious cert after five years of hardships. I must have understood how a parent would have felt cuz I was just so proud and happy for him! Not to mention, tears of joy that rimmed my inner canthi when his name was called. (:

Anyway, congratulations to all seniors of Batch 17 and 18! Hope to be colleagues soon! :D
