To be honest there wasn't much happening at all for the past 3 months. I went back to Malaysia for a 3-week-vacation and it was great, especially since my brothers were on uni holidays as well. It was like going back in time to my childhood days again, waking up in my childhood bed, delicious home-cooked meals prepared by my mum, playing with Frosty the cat, watching tv and playing video games with my brothers... It felt as though I never left home. Which made it so difficult to leave again when the time comes. I would've thought that it'll be easier every year, but I had been away from home for almost 10 years now, but I still suffer when it comes to goodbyes.
Other than that, it was just work, work and work. I am now on a temporary retreat away from the hospital setting in the Drug and Alcohol Detox Unit, which was a refreshing change from all that relief work and surgical night shifts. It was indeed a whole new experience for me and once again, every day was a learning opportunity, and every client has a story I love to listen if they would share it with me. I am enjoying it very much so far (apart from the commuting), a much-welcomed slower pace compared to surgical, friendly colleagues and bosses, and plenty of mental health involvement. Whether I decide to pursue psychiatry or general practice in future, this rotation would still be very beneficial.
Oh, and I have a wedding to plan... in 2 months! Procrastination at it's finest, really! I am never big on weddings, so I guess it would just be the simplest ceremony I can put together. Now it's just the matter of finding a venue, inviting the guests and finding a celebrant. Shouldn't be too much work (I hope!). Funny that I'll be way more willing to put in effort to plan our marriage life and babies and whatsnot, but when it comes to weddings, I find them a real chore! Afterall, I see weddings as putting on a show for others to see, it's never really just about the two of us. If we get our own ways, we would've just signed the papers in the registry office! =P
Anyway, rant over, time to get that procrastination monster out of my head.
