A Walk To Remember~: March 2014
http://da-shing.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 13, 2014. It seems like yesterday that I was young and fresh. Now, I say this like I am a grouchy middle-aged lady, but the truth is that the early and mid twenties are long over, and it feels even longer ago that I was a wide-eyed teenager. Where had all the time gone in the blink of an eye? It also helps that these days, I am meant to be a professional who is busy saving lives and nobody would want their doctor to turn up looking like a hooker. This year, I discovered the wrap dress.

A Walk To Remember~: May 2014
http://da-shing.blogspot.com/2014_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 27, 2014. And so by the goodness of God, I woke up one Friday in early May to an update on the MRCP website saying that the Part 2 results had been released and thankfully, I had passed again. Far from aced it, mind you, but hey, my aim was never to be a genius anyway. But as this post says, happy things and happy thoughts only for now. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

A Walk To Remember~: MRCP-ed
http://da-shing.blogspot.com/2015/07/mrcp-ed.html
Saturday, July 25, 2015. It seems like just yesterday that it was July 2012 and I had just graduated from Med School, having earned the letters MBBS (London) behind my name after much effort slaving through the years. At that point, I had been ecstatic to take a whole year off sitting for exams in F1 and just slacking / being a glorified ward clerk (whatever rocks your boat) without having to use my brain much. And the joy I felt when I received this letter was beyond description. Fair enough, as with mo...

A Walk To Remember~: This trophy, his again
http://da-shing.blogspot.com/2014/07/this-trophy-his-again.html
Monday, July 07, 2014. This trophy, his again. Wimbledon 2014: Djokovic d. Federer. And then there were two. Two Wimbledon titles, that is. It was even more unbelievable when Djokovic had another chance at match point when Federer's serve was called out. He summoned Hawk's Eye. It wasn't. And he survived in the match long enough to take the 4th and force a 5th set. This was classic Federer. Impeccable tennis. The aces, the calm demeanour, the barely breaking a sweat. Thank you for letting me win today,".

A Walk To Remember~: April 2015
http://da-shing.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 04, 2015. I have wanted to be a doctor for as long as I could remember. My most distinct memory being at age 13, when I proudly wrote an excerpt on wanting to be a neurosurgeon. Of course, that rapidly changed over time to cardiothoracic surgery and then even more rapidly to cardiology. It's strange how life seemed much simpler when one is younger. I had never imagined, 20 years ago, that in my late 20's, my life would be as such: unsettled. How can you not know this? Perhaps I do not hav...

A Walk To Remember~: May the best man win
http://da-shing.blogspot.com/2014/07/may-best-man-win.html
Saturday, July 05, 2014. May the best man win. It has been 2 whole years since my last visit to Centre Court in 2012 where I watched Rafa Nadal crash out in the first round in front of my very eyes, 4 whole years since our first venture into the grounds of Wimbledon where I very unpleasantly turned 5 shades darker and after that, where the exhilarating experience of the Quarterfinals on Centre Court made everything worth it. My Wimbledon app bleeps a notification and I flick it open. Good luck, guys.

Friday, April 04, 2014. Having been through med school and being a doctor humbles me time and time again and makes me recognise my own limitations - that I am far from clever and I am mediocre. I work hard and I am willing to pour all my enthusiasm into Cardiology but sometimes I am truly doubtful that this is all it takes to get me there. Come on, you can do this. You can conquer this Part 2. A few more days of endless mugging and suffering and it will be all worth it. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A Walk To Remember~: June 2014
http://da-shing.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 30, 2014. About constantly struggling to keep abreast in this rat race that is medicine with no knight in shining armour riding along in a cloud of dust in the distance, if I was really cut out to be the best of both worlds in the future or if I could just handle one at a time. But I reckon pondering never really did anyone any good, and I have come this far to achieve my fierce childhood dream of becoming a doctor. We only move forward from where we go, and hope for the best.

A Walk To Remember~: December 2013
http://da-shing.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 27, 2013. Teetering on the verge. So I am not really sure how my endeavour with heels began, but I admit that I have gotten exponentially worse over the past few years. Then I discovered something called vanity. So I started progressing back from flats to short wedges to shorter heels, to medium-height wedges. And with that it seemed, so did my pain threshold for running around the hospital while learning how to balance gracefully at this height. But today when I decided to embrace the w...
