Just last Sunday we received news of a tragedy that occurred in Kota Kinabalu involving 3 young doctors. I simply cannot imagine if I was one of them or even if I was one of their parents. how would I react? Having your son/daughter - young, ambitious and just starting to create a name for themselves in the medical profession and boom! disaster strikes. Malaysia is a small enough country where almost everyone knows everyone else somehow and all 3 who died somehow had friends who were friends of mine. My condolences goes out to all of their family members and this event has made me take one step back and realize once again that we simply cannot take the people around us for granted.
Secondly, I came across a blog of daphne iking. yes the model cum mother cum hostess cum fashion designer cum whatever it is. I had a strong interest in her blog from the very beginning because her thoughts drew similarities and i could relate to her. After a while she closed her blog to only invites only and that's when i relied on the newspaper for updates. Then one day news of her private life surfaced and I was wondering what happened to her almost becoming fairytale life. Recently she once again made her blog for public viewing again and I feel what she had gone through. You are indeed strong Daphne, God Bless.
I think today's entry is very non specific as many of my previous entries but I assure you that it is intended. I have never been a lay it bare for public kind-of-person as many of you already know and I will never be one. Then again this blog was to update friends and at the same time a sort of diary to record certain moments in my life.
Chinese New Year is coming again and I will be heading over the good ol' Penang Island for a 4 days 3 nights reunion with the entire Wong family. Yes, geting myself ready for endless eating, laughing and loud noise not forgetting the mahjong and karaoke'ing. For the rest of you folks, Gong Xi Fa Chai. May this year of the tiger bring joy and prosperity.
Special greetings to my two most (only ) readers of this blog as I've only received comments from the both of you over the years. Mei, I've been reading your blog regularly and I'm very happy that you are doing so well career wise and relationship wise. I'm just waiting for the day you announce the happy news (wedding bells?) So keep up the good work of updating your blog (unlike me). All the best for you girl and for god's sake let's meet up the next time you come down to Kuala Lumpur. It IS about time. innit?
Also to Mr. Thum Wai Khong, hey ... why did you put your blog to an invite-only? Now I can't read your blog. Congrates on your engagement or did you get registered already? everyone around me is somewhere around there including my dear old friend MUSLE. But i'm glad for everyone. We should take part in some marathon / walk this year... aim to join you guys one day k.
As for myself, I'm currently in the bones department and is having a fantastic time being back in the operation theater and having the opportunity to cut, Cut, CUT! been away from it for far too long and now it feels good. Ward work day in day out is monotonous and was almost driving me up the wall. being surrounded by fantastic seniors makes things lovelier. Been having more time to get back to soccer and more time to relax at home.
So yea, let's hope this long winded entry does not result in another super long gap before the next entry comes around.
