Exam - done!

Ye..ye. Exam dah habis!! (Ceh, baru Part 1). Now the anxious waiting for the result. Kinda hope I would pass, but then who knows, right? Now better start saving in case kena amik lagi! Mind you the passing rate of MRCP Part 1 is only the 1/3 of upper centile. I think it is a tough paper; you would not be able to pass it just by luck.

Susah rupanya nak jadi consultant physician ni.

Cepat la rumah baru siap; cannot wait to move in to new house. Every week pegi tgk, now rooftop nampak mcm dah siap. (We cannot enter site la, still building site and health &safety regulation etc...) Hopefully takdela apa2x problem. At least I am in comfort knowing that the house structures are covered by this New Built 10 years insurance scheme.

Next - sorting out the will.

2008

New year....

I think I can finally announce that we are buying a house in Liverpool. The mortgage has gone through, and the only we have to wait now is for the house to complete. Don't really understand what really possessed us to do this, but there you go. We have leapt and no turning back.

The restaurant - the bank has approved the loan and I pray to God, please no more obstacles after this. We already skint.

MRCP Part 1 - I am freaking out. SO much harder that final exam at medical school. I am at the stage where everything I read gone straight out of my brain. Doing 1500 questions already. Another 1500 to go before the exam.

Really would like to conceive this year. Don't know if we are ready to see the specialist or not. The stresses from above three + stresses of possible infertility?? God knows.

At least I am spared this year from job-seeking stresses. Well, I have thrown to Isle of Man. My consultant has reassured me what a nice place Isle of Man is. I have a lot of sympathy for current ST or CT applicants this year. Trust me, I do know what its like - the visa, the interviews, the waiting time for the results. Enough to make me break down at 5 am in the morning when I saw a nasty lying old lady throwing curses at me (when I was doing A&E night shift).
