Finally a Doctor

17th September 2011, Saturday.

I was up at the observatory deck of Seoul Tower for the most picturesque view of interface between day and night in Seoul, where the sun set, the sky turned dark blue and the city was lighted up. My heart sank that moment I felt a strong, continuous vibration against my bones. I fumbled in tremors, looking for my cellphone in the bag which seemed to be so out of sight that time. I had to pick up that call!! The next thing I realized was, everything around me changed. The sky seemed brighter there. I'm no longer a medical student. I do not have to worry about going back to school and I'll be a working adult soon! No, it wasn't about the honorific title I was excited about (okay, perhaps a little), it was more about the sense of achievement I felt after going through that journey I reckon to be the toughest of all at this point of life. 5 years of M.B.B.S. wasn't at all easy. So, I'm officially Dr. Wendy Ter Zu Wei now!!!

I can't phrase it any better than saying 'Praise the Lord for anything and everything!'. Going through this exam was like running a race I saw no finishing line to it. But God's grace is ever sufficient for me  even during my darkest hour. Just when I thought I lost my most precious support, He sent many more friends to encourage me. When I thought those were the moments I couldn't take, I was actually stronger than I'd imagined. Come to think about it, everything happened at a proper timing when I apprehended them to be faulty. It's true when mom always tells me this, 'God's delay is not God's denial'. This chapter has been a miraculous one and yeah, I'll share it more some time later when I'm free. I have so much to do now! :D See you all soon!

Uptown Girls for a Night

Indeed, good life comes when we live everyday like this. To think about nothing but splurging money extravagantly. To brood over nothing but laughter that fills the gloom of the day. Sadly, gravity draws us back to reality and we only get to live a night as an uptown girl. I had the best Saturday than I could ever imagine during my study break when everyone were busy armoring themselves for next week's battle. I wouldn't say I'm prepared like everybody else, yet I'm glad to have found these two friends who made me smile while we brave through the odds of winning. Group discussions had never been this fun filled and tensionless. It's gonna be over real soon and hopefully a good ending for all of us too.

When I'm through accepting limits, it'll be time to trust my instincts. It'll be time to defy gravity. I think I'll try defying gravity and you won't bring me down...
