Graduation day

For more than five years ago, I decided to choose a rough path. And the tough times I had there after were more than what I could imagine. Looking back, I didn't know how I had been through this but amazed at what God had done in my life. Thank God my 5+ years of hard work is finally rewarded! I can proudly declare now that:

I have graduated!

I am grateful for God's faithfulness that when He said His grace is sufficient, He meant it. To all my friends who gave me comfort and countless encouragements over the past few years, thanks a thousand. Words can't describe how much had you painted my life. Without you university life is nothing! You guys are just great!

I am overjoyed, not solely for the MBBS certificate but being able to proclaim:

"Mummy, I finally made it!"

Through toils and turmoils, perseverance is learned.
Along with ups and downs, friendships are earned.
Standing by me, my heart-felt appreciation.
C1/07, I'm missing your presence!

Graduation trip to Perhentian Island

In case you wondered why did I look dark during convocation, or why did I have multiple abrasions all over the body, here is the answer:

I went to the beach and I snorkeled!

And I am loving my tanned complexion!

It has been a while since I last blogged about vacation. This is a good time, probably the last time to travel before the hectic works start.

So here we spent the wonderful 3 days 2 nights in Perhentian Island lodged in Cocohut Chalet. Although the quality of chalet was slightly below par, it was still a good deal as we snorkeled in three islands in 2 days namely Perhentian, Redang and Lang Tengah. The different snorkeling spots provided different underwater species.

Compared to my last visit 3 years back, it deteriorates so those who want to pay a visit, do before it is severely contaminated. Anyway it's the companion that made the trip joyous. I am glad to have a great one!

Now, let these pictures do the talking:

P/S: Going to United States next. Can't wait!

So long, medical student!

Today is the last day bearing the name of a medical student, inofficially. Everything seemed a little extraordinary. The walk way to the hospital, the last patient I clerked in Hospital Batu Pahat, the on-going cameras' snap, the thought of whom haven't I dropped by to say bye...

The final hurdle comes a week later. Yet the feel of getting over is overwhelming. A sigh of relief for my 5 months hard works on portfolios had come to an end I supposed? Allow me to take few hours off, and I shall get back to study soon.

Longing to graduate, all graduation trips are well planned. Mummy is waiting to see me in my robe and hood. And it's time to join the earning society. So I can't afford to fail.

Faith is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen. Let's make it through!

Our very last, End of Semester 10 Examination:
3rd - 6th August 2009
Do pray with us.

A LOT...

I've got A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT A LOT more to go...

So here, an applause to my completion after many sleepless nights.

The youth-consuming-Semester 10 portfolio aka my gold.

St. Mary's school song

UNITED AND STRONG

United and strong, sing we a glad song
Of the School and the rules that guide us
Of our colours and crest, our work and the rest
Of the things that our School provides us

Chorus:
For God and for School
Afar be it known
We stand, by the badge of our School
The yellow and blue
Shall ever be seen
To the fore, in sports and pure knowledge

We'll aye seek her fame
Yea make good her claim
To a name and a fame the dearest
So work for the whole
And sing from your soul
For the sake of St. Mary's the dearest
(Chorus)

In the attempt to complete my resume that requires my ex-school's address, I browsed through the school song.

Oh~ How I miss singing that!

Durians!

The season is now!

I had it 6 times so far.
And counting...
:)

*Update: It's 10 times as of 3/8/09!

The final count down

An outstanding doctor makes a dead ward alive! I am just inspired by the way he deals with patient. Sometimes it isn't by how knowledgeable you are, but how much knowledge you can convey to patient.

Give a person a fish and it sustains him a meal.
Teach him to fish and he will fish for his living.

Patients themselves are ultimately their own doctor if they are motivated enough to get well.

In the mean time of thanking God for bring me thus far as a medical student, I admit I did feel inferior at times of not knowing enough for what I should.

Give a final push my friends! We will graduate together!
