The happiest women, like the happiest nations, have no history.

- from Mill On The Floss (George Eliot)







Life and love are life and love, a bunch of violets is a bunch of violets, and to drag in the idea of a point is to ruin everything. Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless.

- D.H. Lawrence

I never thought this day would come!

One year ago I was scared and worried about being a newly-minted doctor. I still remember how weird I found it when nurses ran after me in corridors saying "Doctor Liu Doctor Liu". I also remember finding it awkward to identify myself to family members and patients as Doctor Liu. But Doctor Liu has found her little feet at last. Haha.

It feels like some kind of developmental milestone now that my 1 year of housemanship is over. But of course there is a whole life time more of calls, things to do, patients to care for, seniors to learn from. It's so exciting!

Yes. I am all hyped up now that it's over. Ask me again in 1 mth when my holidays are ending. I bet I will be frightened silly about being mo1. Haha.

But first! Lunch today in Shangri-La with K. :) And then E, G, K, R, Z and I shall eat dinner happily.

On a separate note.

I'm really glad for good friends. But friends who wait for me for  1 1/2 hrs to finish work and then fetch me to an intended destination not quite in the way of theirs is really a new, and very touching experience. Thank you thank you. I don't know what I would do without great friends like that.

Hello all!

Haha. The reason I am so happy is because .... haha.... no real reason... except maybe tmrw is going to be my last day as a hohoho.

Hohoho! (Literally)

:)

What a long haul it has been! But what good fun... what good friends... what good laughs. Of course its common during these kind of instances to only remember the good things that happened and skimp over the atrocious, bone-wearying days. Yes... things only get better after all.



In the 1 mth ahead I hope to
1) exercise
2) read
3) travel
4) studySTUDYstudy
5) think carefully abt what I really want.


Point no. 5 is probably the hardest to figure of them all. Although... I am beginning to think point no.4 could potentially be an uphill task as well. Hurhur. But no... point no.5 is undoubtedly the HARDEST because there are just too many things that I want. But... what I really want is like some kind of nebulous idea that hasn't quite soldified into reality. It's easy to want things at random... like a BMW 1 series or a TODS bag or Ferragamo ballet flats. What's challenging is to want these things enough to keep that want fuelled for a lifetime. Impossible in fact... at this point I should say that I want to have a meaningful relationship with God. Haha. No really... that's probably the utopic ideal.


Ok.

I am getting sleepy. And rambling posts about my own poorly cemented life philosophy hardly help my alert state.

Still. I look forward to better things always. It's sometimes about progress... but often it's just a healthy state of mind.

I've been blessed with great cousins and a huge extended family that is warm and v.open... haha! And I am awfully grateful to be back here amongst the old aunties and uncles, cousins and nieces/nephews that have started appearing in recent times. Seeing my cousins getting married and having their own families makes me realise how much we have grown and how many years have passed by since we were all in school together, awkward teenagers and squabbling children.

Still looking out to buy a car... but for now I shall make do borrowing old dad's 4 wheels. Haha... I'm not complaining... his 4 wheels are certainly a prime set of wheels!

We're off to eat dimsum at our favourite yumcha restaurant in Paragon yet again. I am actually feeling sch-leepy because I was woken at 7-ish this morning even though Daddy specifically announced that we (the whole family) was sleeping in late today. We really are a family of early risers though... hurhur
