This is the best birthday present ever.

Got accepted to present my research in an international conference for the work I did in US a few months ago. I feel like all the sweat and tears are all worth it now.

Note to self : Keep going. Don't give up. :)

May

Hrm, May is finally here, a very much dreaded month and an anticipated month. The dread : USMLE !! The anticipation : end of USMLE :) It also marks the month I'm turning into 1/4 century old!! (Lol I sound like a piece of antique)

But I am here to write about my dreams. A friend of mine from Taiwan is currently doing his clinical rotations in Imperial, and as I read about things that he is doing and stuffs that he has been thinking about, I regret for not being able to appreciate the teachings and lament them as chores without realizing its importance and significance. On the same note, I too regret for taking things for granted during my university years, allowing opportunities to pass by. I too, regret for not putting in my very best, not trying my very best in everything that I do. Those days I seemed to have an excuse for everything I do. I seemed to be a terrible person back then. So here is my confession for all the times that I have allowed to waste, for all the things that I did not take initiative for, for all the things that I took for granted.

Here's a promise to myself : never make the same mistakes anymore. Live mindfully and reach for the stars. Never look back, and ever look upwards.

Also,  happy, happy birthday to myself!! I apologize for being so syok-sendiri on my blog but I believe nobody reads it anyway :p
