I'm finally home

Sorry for the very belated update.
One year has gone so fast that it was almost impossible for me to catch up with the passing of time.

So much has happened since my last post, yet I still remember vividly the anxiety and the uncertainties of it all. Believe it or not, I had a very difficult time in the last few months. Slow, inefficient and unfair recruitment processes almost drove me nuts. I would not want to bore you with the details, but I am so glad that it is all over now. Hopefully from now on, everything would be smooth-sailing. I really hope that was the last of the storm.

So despite not being able to get my psychiatry registrar job in Hobart (due to major mess-up by the HR), I was still able to secure myself an RMO job in Hobart (albeit really late), which was really what I would prefer. For that, I am very thankful.
Guess that's one more year for me to consider carefully whether I wanna be a GP or a psychiatrist!

I think 2016 would be a good year for me, for us.
I am now finally back in Hobart, back to the place I had called home for the past few years, back to where you are. I could still remember the elated look on your face for that whole day when I first came back down to Hobart for good. You were so happy and for some reason it moved me to tears.

We are buying a house together too, hoping to move in this coming month or two. It was a great little 250 square meters brick house, full of sunlight and great view. I am no great designer, but I am gonna make this feel like home. For us, for our future family.

We are engaged, planning to marry within this year. It wasn't a huge engagement, no friends or family present, just a little private time between the two of us. In my favourite Sydney, during a weekend getaway. A dainty little diamond ring. I am never that girl who has an ideal wedding in mind down to the little details like the colour of the napkin rings, so I would envisage a small, simple ceremony. (I would have went for the option of just registering and not having any ceremony at all, but I guess The Boy and my parents would probably not like the idea... >.<)

Anyway, so there, lots to plan in the months to come! That, and adapting to my new job in a new hospital. Sounds like an exciting year. I am looking forward to all that life has to offer me!


And counting my blessings everyday. =)
