New year, new stuff

it's been a while since i updated my blog... not that i've been really busy (how busy can O & G be? haha!) but i've just been adjusting to a new phase of my life - both in terms of career and many other things.

oh no! it's 2007! gosh... u mean i've turned into an age where i'm actually starting to hate seeing calendar pages turn and wishing everyone happy new year? especially so when my bday's just round the corner once new year starts... (hint hint! haha!) sigh... 25 somehow sounds a whole LOT older than 24, isn't it... boohoo!!

ok... let's tok abt happier things! i'm happy with what i've accomplished in the year 2006. everything's in retrospect of course! when i was living in 2006, i was complaining and dreading it so many times! imagine i had to take one of the BIGGEST exams in my life... endure the toughest times of HOship... grampling with keeping a well-balanced life and not losing my social and family life... meet different challenges everyday... wow! now i can pat myself on the back and say "well done! i think u've worked hard to survive 2006!" think it's easily the toughest year of my 24 years of life.

so what's up for the new year?

started a new posting... and i shall refrain from commenting abt it since nothing good's gonna come out cos i'm still at the adjusting phase. i'll just say i miss general medicine really badly.

new challenges ahead to handle! being consistent with my driving lessons and passing my driving test in april is one. gosh... i'm really horrible behind the steering wheel. somehow, i get all nervous and stressed up when i hafta maneuver this humongous metal among many other humongous metal things that are zooming past.

this coming year would be one where i evaluate what i wanna be in life... whether i wanna go all out for a tough career ahead or do something slower pace and maintain a balance in other aspects of my life. actually somehow i already know my answer... i'll never be able to spend ALL my energy into just one aspect of my life. i know i won't be happy that way. i wanna be there for my family and friends, watch my kids grow up, take care of my ageing parents, be a good companion to my spouse... haha! sounds so housewifey... but then again, i also wanna feel important in this society. i wanna know i've contributed somehow to the society and that's why my career (and especially clinical work) is so important to me. i like to wake up having an aim and knowing that my aim is gonna benefit someone out there.

i've also decided to be impulsive this yr... there's no point in stopping myself from doing things i wanna do. For what? other ppl's opinions used to matter so much and i often go back feeling a sense of regret for stalling my actions. now i dun wanna care anymore and just be myself!

hmm... i wonder if 2007 will be as exciting as 2006? i doubt... but it'll be a good year!
