A 19 yr old :

Finding her niche in the passionate world of white coats and stethoscopes.

Missing Malaysian food so badly, that she drowns her sorrow by surfing food blogs.

Who watches scary movies only with friends who have high pain threshold (from all that pinching)

Who has very cold extremities, ask my stimulated patients, oops sorry, "simulated patients"

Who loves a good laugh with candid, thick-skinned friends

Who cannot stay surrounded by 4 walls for more than a few hours

Who loves her loved ones so so much

and when she speaks

Friday, July 30, 2010

Today's presentation went well.

I have to get things going- applications will be coming up soon. Christine just talked to me. *oh no* we have to up our game. I guess I'll be a hermit for the next two months :(
But I'm focused. I love this so much; that I will really work for it.

I think this field is really made for me. When I told Roselyn and mummy that, they both echoed the exact same sentiment "I guess this is your calling then"

I thought about that statement inside; and it really is :)

On a couple of good notes; I love my friends all around.

James came over and gave me his frames- for all the pictures that I have. That was so generous and big-hearted of him. I, in exchange, gave him one char siew bao. *haha* You must be thinking, what kind of exchange is that?

HEY! Zoe came by tonight; and we chatted for 2 hours :) and she specifically asked to try the bao out. Mum, now everyone knows how much I really love char siew bao, when they see that ginormous container of frozen char siew baos that you lined up for so long for back at home, just for me to take back to the States :) I love you, mum :)

Sai Hei asked me last night when I was so busy working on my presentation; if I wanted pizza. I had no extra time to spare; and definitely couldn't socialise! But he came up and surprised me; with a super yummy slice of deep dish pizza with mushrooms, pepperoni slices and broccoli florrets :) My extra sustenance that kept me going from 9.30pm til midnight despite only sleeping 2 hours the night before!

My attending today said 'Good job, Sueyi!' twice after my presentation. I was happy :) My wonderful colleagues clapped too! :) :)

I helped Carlos out; so he called me a 'sweetheart' to which I replied 'I know I am' *laughs cheekily* ;)

A text page I got from my boss whilst covering during the weekend

"Sueyi, thanks for the update. You did a wonderful job today! Keep it up!"

A smile lit up on my face as you can imagine :)

Sweeter things happened this week.

One of my sick patients; this previously healthy father of two beautiful daughters, with a very supportive companion fell really sick for no reason at all with a severe infection so bad that his brain was infected and he became deaf in both ears subsequently.

He said this (which I remember so clearly):

"You know I can't hear anything, but I tell myself at least I have my eyes, you know? I can see my daughters, my family"

I thought to myself - and asked myself if I would have been as optimistic as him if I was thrown in his position, all downhill within a blink of an eye, without even a reason explaining it thus far?
I hesitate to ponder; but I look up to him for his strength and courage and determination to see things in such a positive way.

Fast forward all the nervous blood-taking daily, the daily frustrations of having minor complications in tests and imaging done, a repeat bone marrow biopsy-

I see him one morning...
He was being wheeled by his dear companion whom I have gotten to know and bond with... I called them out from behind. They stopped and looked back. I walked over; and he had two bags filled with chocolate goodies. I laughed and shook my hands no graciously. He wouldn't take NO for an answer, and replied 'I insist. You can't leave without taking one'. I gave up, and gave in to the temptation. I grabbed a chocolate rock with caramel in between, coated with almonds.. Then, he wrote to me on a paper, 'Will you come to a BBQ I'm organizing as thank you to all the doctors who cared for me?'. I said my schedule is hectic next week, but I'd love to, and I'll try my best.

He was being such a sweetheart. "I'll work around your schedule"

I laughed once more and we were sharing joyful banter.

The next day, I came to say HI again, and I knew he was going to be discharged later in the afternoon. He said 'I'll miss you all. You guys have been great to me."

I said 'I'll miss you too, but we don't want to see you in the hospital though" *laughs*

I continued; 'I am so proud of you. You've made such amazing progress, and come such a long way. I'm so happy for you'

We shared a little moment there. I guess we were both touched in a way or another.

And I grabbed hold of his hand once more and said 'take good care'

And he kissed the back of my knuckle like a gentleman.

This middle-aged guy with 2 lovely kids whose father has been in the hospital for almost a month.

I couldn't be happier when he left the hospital to be home.
It's funny, he told me; 'I want to come back here and help people too, you know? Like how you guys helped me'

Inside, my heart beamed with joy. Seeing him perk up from the brink of death with such a fighting spirit and an admirable attitude; and now leaving for home so much stronger and healthier, I cannot be happier for him.

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

If the future seems overwhelming, remember that it comes one moment at a time.

Let old dreams fade into the night, so new ones can rise until the dawn.

Live today fully and you create a lifetime of meaningful memories.

There are no mistakes, no coincidences. All events are blessings given to us to learn from.
