Finally have time to breathe.....
been quite a few hardcore 6 months.....summer came and gone...autumn is arriving....
man. I didn't do anything in the summer apart from studying....
Exams came and gone...passed paper 1, and failed paper 2....so gotta retake it next year...ohwell. shit happens...hope i can better prepare for it next year...
after exams done, dermatology diploma started right away....no, seriously...like Right Away as in the next day had readings and course work to do....
then went to Kyoto Japan in early October...and thought i could really take a break...but man, it was quite hectic....everyday was jam packed with activities with no time to spare....but at least the temples and the food was awesome...
then busy with work in the clinics and more work with the dermatology diploma....
Finally, had a proper 2.5 days weekend just now. And boy do i miss normal weekends. Dermatology diploma course just ended it's 2 week break. So it's a weekend of absolutely no reading and just catching up and doing nothing.
I miss doing nothing.
Well , not really nothing....finally had time to start some investments with some stocks....got my car in for an oil change, picked up some wood panels to fix my wall....
And going out and getting hammered. Boy do I miss booze, music and friends mixed up together. It feels like sitting on the beach with a cold tub of beer....*hhmmmm.....ahhhhhhhh*
but what's more important is time to reflect and reset....it's such a great feeling to be able to stop or at least slow down and think. Think about what? i dunno man, just about anything...since this is a blog, i'm gona just type whatever i'm thinking about ....don't mind me, if ur reading this and have better things to do, then go ahead please.
i'm thinking about career : exams next year, there is Exit exam but shall i take it ? , should i stay in the hospital in the furture or plan on opening up a clinic? myself ? or with partner ? or with a group? How do I try to make everyday a fun and meaningful day at work?
friends : really need to make some more time to hang out and keep in touch with everyone...since everyone 's working and busy, less chance to get together and chitchat.....at least it's my birthday soon, so hopefully can get everyone out for a meal and drinks...and don't buy me presents...just showing up and having fun is good enough for me.
Turning 28....man, 27 is still late twenties, but 28 is early thirties.....need to get my act together....when will i be able to afford my own place? should i move out? I want to be independent without the help of family, but staying at home with family is so comfortable and easy....maybe i should move out....just to see how it's like living on my own...kinda like throwing myself in the deep-end of the pool....will i cope?
wow. so many questions...with not much answers...should i seek for some wise man's wisdom and guidance? or shall i try to figure it out on my own? so many decisions...and each decision will shape the future...how will my next few years look like down the road?
i see so many collegues and university friends getting married already....Wow. Lucky for them. Have they already figured out all the things i've thought about? There is so much shit on my plate already...no time to even think about getting married....
how can people balance all these things at once? All i want is to be like Homer...watch tv and drink beer.....ha ha...just kiddin....hmm....actually doesn't sound bad at all.....
holy crap....mind overload...words spilling out of my ears.....
so i guess that's it for my thought-diarrhea...finally had time to let it all out....
sigh...AIM diploma (advancement in medicine) course will have the final exam in early december.... 1 month time....which means....*sigh*....another month of studying.....AND on top of that the dermatology course work....
here we go again....when will this ever end
| | |
| exams finally over...didn't do well...
MCQ was ok....should pass but the key features questions were damn crazy...felt like leaving the exam mid way...
soo...pretty much i'm screwed...
results will be out on 28th...
i'd be surprised if i passed.....so kinda prepared to retake it already...and 50% of the candidates fail anyways...
all in all, it was good though...learned alot and it's useful for my career..
exam is like a good tennis match...as long as u worked ur best, enjoy the game ...better luck next time Nadal.
better luck next time for me too.

| Thoughts to trick myself into thinking that failing an exam is not tooooooo bad.....
1) i did my best, but can do better
2) there's always another chance (next year, and need to pay again to re-sit)
3) at least i learned something in the process
4) better luck next time
5) examiners suck.
hhhmm.....still sounds pretty shitty to me.....

| 3 more weeks to go....
Exams on 12th and 13th of Sept...
it's kinda mind boggling how 1 exam can dictate my life in the next year...
1) If i pass, i can concentrate on Dip Derm and then work on passing Part 2
2) If I fail, then gotta wait for 1 whole year (FACK...) to redo the exam......
It's really stupid to have to wait for 1 year to re-sit the exam....whoever made that rule up deserves to have their face jammed into their own ass....
I hope i pass. | | |
| the exhaust finally arrived!!
It's a piece of art i tell u....it's beautiful....I will probably spend some time underneat my car just to admire it... 
and it's so freakin light!!!! it weighs at least 1/3 to a 1/4 of the original exhaust.....ammmaazzziingggg.... :D
i'm surprised it's not as loud as i thought it would be....but i geuss it will need some time before the muffler warms up....hopefully it'll sound more tight later...
and it sure does breathe wayyy better from 3000 rpm.....no loss of low-end torque.....awesome....
very satisfied.. :D
anti-roll bar, front lower arm bar, and carbon air intake ordered and shall be on its way in a month...
can't wait!
