settling in

yeah.. i'm finally working..
and its tough...

well not so tough now that i've finished tagging
just so that i can feel a little bit proud of myself for making it through 2 weeks of what i feel where endless nights... literally night because i almost never saw the sun... haha...
6am in the nursery till 12am.. then its sleep and then back to work for 14days... except for weekends when i get to go back in the evening at about 7 or 8 after work is done...
so yeah.. no sun for about 14 days..
don't ask me how much weight i've lost... tekjee's mum commented that i looked really haggard, and i suspect that its only partially due to the fact that i shaved once every week on saturdays only...

but well.. i think i've managed to replenish my sleep debt already, now that i've been able to go home at 6pm on weekdays now and about 1 pm on weekends... so yeah... i'm getting used to working life like this... on calls are starting next week.. first call next week... so hope nothing really bad happens..

otherwise, since i've arrived in kuching... i've been really really missing home and all my friends in semenanjung... imu and church... i really wish we could have our own hospital where only imu ppl work.. hahaha

but i God has been really good to me since i arrived here... first of all.. there was tekjee and family who housed us in their house for the first week.. then tekjee and khungying brought us around before all our cars arrived, arranged for us to go to KWSP, immigration and all that work kinda stuff paperwork...
then we moved into his house.. and the girls moved into another house... and then the chin family let's see... washed our clothes for us... got the washing machine working.. got our streamyx for us... got our satellite tv working... not to mention we have a fully furnished house, which they continued to add kitchen stuff like an electric stove and various pots and pans.. air conditioned rooms.. heated showers.. and the water meter got stolen once too, tekjee's brother got it fixed in a day so that we had to go without water for only 1 night... just to put it shortly.. tekjee, his mum and his brother have really been a blessing to us.. without them, it would have been hard to imagine getting through tagging without all our basic amenities.. in hindsight... it was REALLY dumb to start work immediately before settling all those stuff... but well.. thanks to them, everything got sorted out...

its also worth mentioning that my perodua car dealer was a great guy who settled all my car paperwork for me, fetched me from the bank to settle my bank draft, and well... i'm just thankful i have a working car to use now... i'm also very thankful to dad who put in the money so that i wouldn't have to struggle with the loan.. yeah... so now... i've finally managed to pen down my gratefulness to all the people who've helped me settled down here in kuching...

well... its 2 years and more... so i'm going to have to fit in here and get used to life here... so, hopefully i don't just survive here.. but am able to LIVE here to the fullest... now i just need to find a church with a PM service... buy all those little things that'll make me comfortable with my room and car.. and everything will be ok...

i'm planning to come back some time in january... so if my leave is approved.. i'll be able to be back for maybe 4-5 days hopefully... might be too much to wish for to come back on CNY.. ahahha... so the next thing i need now is... my pay to come in.. hahahaha...

Work

yeah... i'm finally starting work..
just finished induction last week... will be packing and resting at home today before flying tmr at 3pm, then reporting for duty on tuesday...
today felt.. surreal... the combination of sleeplesness and sadness from saying bye to some of the closest friends i've ever known...
i know that i'll be missing most of all, sze siew, christina, hailiang, fengko, kimkwan, kexin, seowfan, yeangwee, sabrina.. (cpei i'll be seeing in kch.. hehe)
but i guess life won't be the same without this... "family" that i've come to know and really love...
there are others that i'll miss too that i did not mention because if i did, i would be naming the whole batch...
kuching will be a very different life without all these friends... it will be a new journey i suppose... one that i'm half looking forward and half reluctant to start on...
church too will be very missed... i suppose i will find a church there.. but it won't be anything like canaan i know... daniel, peter, brandon, joshua, leena, mok, joyce, yibing... many others that have filled my life with joy and meaning...

i hope i live up to my expectations as a doctor, my friends expectations, my expectations, my parents expectations, mostly.. God's expectations...

life and time changes many things, but hopefully these things don't change in my life.. God, my family and my friends...

Yeah.. i know this blog died..
i think i was in the midst of exams..
well.. since that time.. i've graduated from IMU as a doctor..
i suppose i've always felt torn between my friendships in church and in IMU

well.. in a way.. i suppose... now i don't have to be torn anymore...
now hopefully... it all starts anew..

died

oops....
i think i've left this blog to suffer and die for too long dy..
as you can see on the right... the chat box died also...
haha... don't know when my next update will be... but will be busy (as usual)
preparing for exams...
haaha.. maybe when i'm finally done... and (hopefully) graduated i'll be able
or rather.. i'll have the desire to start blogging again..
till then :)
