Today.
Today has been the reason
I decided to become a doctor 13 years ago
I studied hard to get into med school
I studied like mad to get through med school
I've gotten out of my comfort zone to a place I once called foreign, now being my second home
I studied even crazier to pass my finals
I moved to an even more foreign town to live on my own
I struggled to adapt to working.
Today.

Today
I helped saved a few patients.
I learnt it is inevitable to make mistakes
I learn to depend on my teammates
I learn that I'm slowly improving
And all this is a long and difficult process
But I also learn that
slowly but surely
I will get there.
Thank you God, for not letting me give up my greatest hope in myself.
Thank you God for today's on-call and for encouraging teammates and encouraging fellow Christian colleagues who build each other up with the Word of God. 

The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower. Psalm 18:2

I have held the longest breath, and I survived the day with the help of my wonderful reg. It's super nice to work with him, especially that he is so sweet to teach me about managing heart failure patients, one topic which i never grasp properly back in the med school days. I do miss having my SHO around to share our jobs though.. There were one or two hiccups but nothing serious throughout the day, my patients are alright when I got back...... late, and missed my driving lessons.

Went out for dinner in town thereafter and managed to catch the movie "the imaginarium of dr parnassus". I think it was an okay movie, I expected more from it storyline wise, but the movie made up for it with the 4 awesome and charming actors- johnny depp, jude law, colin farrell and the legendary heath ledger as well as with the props. A 6/10 rating.

By the way, I have just realised that my 5year old blog is almost touching 10 000 visitors! Never expected that so soon. And I've also noticed readers as far as Florida to France visiting here. Thank you so much for being such faithful readers. I have now revived my chatterbox so feel free to drop by a message, so I will feel loved :)

I hold my breath.. Deep breath. I try not to think about how nice it feels to take a coffee break with my fellow colleagues today. I need to be always on my feet. Be prepared, at all times- the motto of Brownies/Scouts.

CCU. That's how it is. It's such a big leap from AMU. In AMU, I am always prepared, I cant afford not to, I don't have the time to even think of relaxing. In CCU it's different, I have the time to relax, but anything can happen at any time, and in those times I do not want to be complacent.

Tomorrow I will be on my own, as my nice SHO is going away for an important call. I wish him well tomorrow, but I wish myself well too, I hope I will survive on my own, i keep my fingers crossed, and double crossed and hope my patients remain stable, just like today. Let's see what happens tomorrow.

---------

My dreams are shattered- the last tickets of TopGear Live World Tour in Birmingham are all sold out, only just today. The day when I got my leave approved and the day I finally put my mind to buying the tickets. Yes I am very upset. And I cannot express the depth of my sadness and disappointment. Not many of you will understand. Now I do not even have the mood to plan my holidays. Where should I go, what should I do? Perhaps it's a way God is telling me not to get over-obsessed over something which doesn't last. 

Something which doesn't last.. That echoes in my head. What does last?

Of Postsecrets and Banksy.. and maybe more..

"POSTSECRET":  Confessions of life, death and God. by Frank Warren.

A couple of years ago, I was introduced to postsecret.blogspot.com by one of my mates who put it up on her blog. Since then, I have been following it, because of its intriguing appeal, and poetic features of some of the secrets posted on colourful postcards. Each are unique on its own, some traumatising and some are just so touching you could cry with the writers.

In my opinion, this is such a great way to express oneself if one cannot tell any one else in this world about his/her secrets. It allows one to channel their feelings towards something good- to help others in similar situations, letting them know that they are not alone facing the same problems, and other times, just to let the writers feel heard, anonymously. It also allows one to openly talk about their feelings or doubts for God, without the feeling that they are being judge by another human being.

Until very recently, Frank Warren the founder of PostSecret, had only posted postcard secrets on his blog. Now he has published his very first book- Confessions of life, death and God, which I intend to browse through as soon as it is released in UK bookstores. So far I have not chanced upon one yet. With such great response to the book, Warren is having plans to make these secrets into bigger stories in films/programmes on tv, and my thoughts are it will sell big to the viewers. Here is someone who thinks like an entrepreuner and uses any opportunitygiven to him for making big money in the entertainment industry, and at the same time helping others out in ways that only the secret holders could tell.

I can't wait to read the book, and I can't wait for more to come from postsecret.blogspot.com.

On a side note, postsecret does remind me of another book, another artist- Banksy. If you live in the UK, you will most likely have heard of him. A talented man, who draws on walls pictures that are controversial and thought provoking, sometimes political, as well as making statues/arts of any sorts in museums, art exhibitions etc. Sometimes if he liked, he would put little statues the size of ur SD card on pavements (so look where ur stepping) as his exhibits. These arts may be so controversial that the authority at times are trying to catch him for what he did. He was even banned in some countries for his "vandalism". However, a smart artist like him do not risk being caught- he remains anonymous to this very day, even though there are speculations that he may come from south of England.

Grab his book in one of the local bookstores, or browse through the net for his very interesting arts/exhibits in America which took place early this year. You will be guaranteed to be entertained. However I may be biased as I am someone who truly appreciates art, and especially am impressed with Banksy's. 

Blogging about Banksy being an anonymous figure, makes me think (randomly) of another celebrity- The Stig. Think TopGear and you will think of The Stig- well maybe second to Jeremy Clarkson, but you get the drill. The Stig is the star, the mascot, the hero in Top Gear. He revs up the cars like nobody's business, swerving and maneuvering sports cars, you could drool and swoon over them. He is DEFINITELY NOT Michael Schumacher, which is what BBC wants us to think. Who is he then? I guess we'd never find out. Or perhaps, I do not want to find out. Think about it, sometimes things are meant to be mysterious for the purpose of fun. If he was to be revealed, how then can we watch each episode of TopGear scratching our heads and cracking our minds as to who that fast and skillful Stig is? Oooh boy, have I miss Top Gear since I moved up north! TV-less and with limited internet usage per day, I cannot even watch it on BBC iPlayer! Now that TopGear is making its annual life tour, in London and Birmingham in November, I need to remain calm and think it through before I impulsively buy a ticket down to watch this famous, successful car show of all times! 

Dang! All this talk about cars make me wanna pass my driving SOON! To be continued...
