And life passes you by...

Gosh, its been awhile, isn't it? We just sorted out the internet connection in our new home; hence, I am back!

Life has been good so far. After the hell-raising roller coaster bureaucratic ride we had while we sorted out our visas in Malaysia, the eye-opening facts about what's going on in my parents marriage and exhausting plane journey ride, we made it.

About my job, I think I truly enjoy it, although at the the beginning it makes me feel rather overwhelmed with the authority that comes with it. I got such an adrenaline rush when I manage to insert a central line (yup, that's a cannula that go straight into the heart) into a patient in ICU, with supervision of course. It truly made my day. You see, I am a needlephobic by nature. To be able to confront my own fear (calmly) is to me, one of my biggest achievements.

My other goal is to have a happy family. And be a good mother and wife.

During the Europe tour, I realised how unhappy my parents are with each other, and the distance they have with us, the kids. Somehow I wish they get on to a separate life and seek their own happiness. The reality breaks my heart, but I also know they are adults, and adults make mistake.
