This morning, I was woken up at 6-ish am by a phone call from home.It was time to go on SKype and sing Happy Birthday with the family to dearest daddy :)Happy Birthday daddy :)He even took a picture with me, with my face on the screen ;) oh the beauty of the internet age.I gave mum a missed call today during my lunch break.She called back soon after.The conversation I had with both my mum and dad nearly touched me to tears.I'm sorry if I'm a bit soft ... I don't do well with overwhelming emotions.They were going to have a family dinner on the eve of Chinese New Year, and I so badly wanted to be a part of it.I miss the celebration and just being with my family.Of course, I also miss all the yummy food that comes along, but that's just bonus.Dad and mummy said come home if you have any holidays.I said I've got a one week holiday right after this exam.Dad asked if I wanted to come home... and he said I could if I wanted to.Of course I'd love to. But it's just not worth it. It's only a week.And I know it's so expensive to fly.That's why sometimes the things my parents would do for me...it makes me miss home even more, even though it's all out of love for dear ol' Sue Sue (say it Hakka-style with a downwards intonation).. it feels bigger than contentment, more intense than happiness, it's a feeling so vast, it overwhelms.I said to daddy, my next holiday won't be at the end of this year because I will be in the States pursuing my electives, hopefully in the big guns... And then, I will have a break close to Chinese New Year next year.Daddy joked and said 'Woah so long, I won't even recognise you then'I know it was a joke...But it does seem so long.That was when I suddenly felt homesick. and miss them dearly.I love you all so very much.*muacks*

Just when I need to sort out my electives, start studying for the upcoming exam, start working my butt off for Usmle Step 2 CK and CS- all this whilst juggling my everyday clinics...I have been suddenly bombarded by emails to meet up :)I couldn't be more happier to meet up with those I haven't seen but at the same time, it's weighing heavily on my pocket.And to think, in about a year's time, I will be a working woman, paying my own taxes and living in my own apartment somewhere in the States. I told mummy it's all happening way too fast.But anyway, back to where I was. I love writing down dinner dates with the whos on my little handmade planner on my table.This is for my own satisfaction, so you don't really need to read what's coming up next...Friday: Chinese New Year dinner with IMU gang.Sunday: Dim Sum brunch with Jon.Monday night: Martini Monday with Anna and Mina.Friday night: Dinner with Diane.I need to get my arse back to work. Seriously.

Had a fabulous night of spontaneity today with Anna and Mina.3 girls. Polish. Egyptian. Malaysian.We had a Chinese buffet dinner, with yummy desserts.I helped myself to 2 delicious slices of cake, one chocolate and the other mocha-flavoured. And add a fruit tart with that, and a little fortune cookie to end the dinner :)We figured it was way too early to retire home, so we sat in Second Cup cafe for a session of catching-up on hospital miseries, mean nurses, stirrups, deliveries and vaginal prolapses, just plain ol' quirky, crazy med school experiences.And then, we thought why not hit the cinema, since we rarely meet up. SO off we went and it was perfect timing. Movie screening @ 9pm. We arrived at the cinema at 9.10pm just on time for the last of the adverts. We caught 27 dresses, a delightful romantic comedy. Always makes me want to fall in love... Now, if only those guys were real-life ;)The Malaysian IMU gang- we're going to celebrate Chinese New Year together. So that's on Friday night. I hope that will happen as planned. And then, dim sum brunch on Sunday with Jon.And Monday Martini night with my girls again :)Then, it's back to endless working hours.
