The End of Pre-Reg

After absence for almost 1 whole year

Coming back, trying to recall and write

2012, busy much?

Yea I guess so

For most part of the year my life was filled by studies and of course, work

In order to pass 2 of the possibly most important exams of my life

Never had worked so hard on studies all my life

Don't know where I've got this determination from

Nevertheless, I passed both of them!

Unofficially practising as a Pharmacist now! :)

Thank God!

So...

Going from: studying non-stop after work till sleep at night

To: NO studying non-stop after work till sleep at night

I guess I can start to understand the mind of workaholic

Like a locomotor, constantly occupied had been a routine in life

I must admit that it wasn't easy to stop that motion

However, with Denise's ideal laid back lifestyle and her degree in Relaxation

I slowly learn to relax and slow down

In fact, my new year's resolution:

Patience

To slow down and look at the world sometimes

When asked, Adelaide or Singapore?

I can't really answer that question well

A-town, was basically relaxation plus a bit of studying for me

Singapore, a city that is so much more happening, and supposedly more things to do

I found it easier to do more things in A-town instead

Of course, the comfy living environment that my parents had provided for me in Aussie kinda spoilt me

Was reluctant to accept my current living condition, very reluctant, at some stage I was hating it

I complained, I mumbled my disapprovals, I felt sad for myself...

I even relate my failure in life to it...

IM A SPOILT BRAT!!!

Oh well, 雨过总会天晴, I must deal with my emotions in the end

By fate, I was placed in Toa Payoh Polyclinic Pharmacy

The demographics of our patients is interesting

And inspiring for a spoilt brat like me

Almost everyday of dispensing is like a life lesson to me

Interacting with our elderly population, you can't help but to smell the bitterness of their life every time they walk over to the payment counter after telling you how expensive are the colourful tablets that they had to buy to keep them alive

At times, I had tears running round in my eyes

But I felt so helpless as much as they do, I don't know what else I could do to help them even more...

Everytime I feel helpless, it just planted yet another seed in me, to work hard to change that situation that I can't do nothing about at this stage of my life

So, coming back to this spoilt brat

I realised how fortunate I am, as always, needs reminding

Slowly, I stopped looking for people to move in and replace me

I bought equipments to clean up the house

I organise my little corner and make it as clean

I still refuse to cook though :P

I'm blessed, truly blessed with all the people God put into my life this year in this new place

I've got an amazing preceptor, Ms. Anna Liew, she totally set a perfect example of how a pharmacist and teacher should be like to me

I've got awesome colleagues from TPY Pharmacy!

I've got great Jedi One brothers and sisters to share my life with frankly without any worries at all (although I had not been an obedient one, but they never gave me up, just like the one above!)

I've got the best family ever, dad and mum still are dad and mum that I came to know Day 1 of my life (of course, a fat and cute sister)

I've got a cute girlfriend too! Without her my life in sg would be a hell of a lot dull (No movie partner, no dinner companion, no shopping mate, no people to kacau, no soulmate!)

I know, I know...the ACL tear

Already a year, and I still can't play properly

Yeap, all my fault, I've got no patience

I rushed back to the court too quickly

I get hospitalised the second time

And it feels like an old man's leg now

Or maybe, it has already gone tad better after the PRP injection

Who knows?

I do know, I just have to be a good boy until it's time

I'm scared, and sad

Basketball, I just wanna play you once again, pain-free and worries-free

Will I ever get this chance? I'm only 25

Bought a new car

Bought a new house (not seen it personally yet, haha)

Life ahead...

Ohyea, the world didn't end in 2012...so...

Continue to learn in 2013

Pick up and brush up a few more characters of Jesus

Travel around more!

Be a good boy to everybody!

Learn to give more, take less

Lastly but surely, be happy :)
