Yay!

Yay! Finally finished left overs of ECG Made Easy chapter 1 and Pleural anatomy! I wonder what we have to read for anatomy this week.... I haven't read much on the anatomy of the heart yet..

Finally able to log onto my blog! Always unsuccessful trying to signing in over the past weeks.

Have been getting waves of nostalgia ever since I called my mum on the hand phone. Seldom get to talk to her so directly... its almost always over Skype. Suddenly her voice was so clear, so sharp, and so near. I thought about the times when I get to talk to my parents. Somehow, I was always busy at those times, and half-hearted conversations often endured. Study time replacing touch-base-with-parents time was not a good idea at all. When I spoke to my mother, I realised how much I missed talking to her, discussing the things that concerned her, and planning with her about our future. Certainly missed all those nights walking around the neighbourhood with her, holding her hand, talking endlessly. The most perfect end to my day. 

My daddy too! I bet he really misses both me and my sister a lot. He tries to hid it whenever he's here, but it just leaks through every time he hugs my sister. Poor guy, alone in Singapore so often now-a-days... I want him over as soon as possible, but for the greater good, the move must be well planned. He needs time to find a good job and bid his friends good-bye...

Recently, I've also been getting a little nostalgic whenever I leave Jasmin's place on a Sunday morning. It seems like I've come to enjoy staying over at her house on the weekends, and the place now feels like a holiday home to me. A place away from all the mad studying during the week, the stress of completing homework and reading up. Going to bed so peacefully and contented, with Jasmin snuggling up to me. Waking up on a Saturday morning and slowly cooking my ideal breakfast. Dashing out for a quick lunch afterwards, and then rushing home to prepare for study buddy. Love Saturdays, they're a perfect balance between leisure and work. Jasmin seems more and more like family to me now, its like I have to see her every so often, and its hard trying not to spend too much time with her. When school heats up I'll probably still set aside every Friday night till Saturday afternoon to spend with her. 

Hmmm the balancing act of my life is surely going to heat up. I've got a study buddy group in the works, a potential SMSV position to handle, and multiple projects which haven't started. On top of all this, I have a sister who stays near me whom I need to keep an eye on, and an adorable girlfriend whom I can't stop seeing. Plus more stuff to learn. Can I do it again? Seniors who were successful in their first year did not all find the same success in their second year. Am I biting off more than I can chew? 

I think not. Got Kaihan to look towards for inspiration. If he can juggle all that stuff in his life, probably so can I. Except that he's probably a lot smarter. But never mind that, bring on the year! 

If there was anything fencing taught me, its never to be afraid. I can see fearlessness in Kaihan and Christine especially. It is this ability to take on challenges with absolute confidence that will set us apart from the rest. It is these people who have control over their fears who will provide me with the greatest competition this year. And I love competition, makes me stronger. Hahaha, yea bring it on.
