Dr. Eunice

It feels too surreal...but that's not important because IT'S REAL! I'm a doctor now!!! Dr. Eunice Ng Chin Nien. Hm...Dr Eunice...sounds better than Dr Ng....ok la..shall introduce myself as Dr Eunice. HAHAHA....Shiok sendiri...

I have no idea how I went through the last 4 weeks, the most intense of which is the last week and the week of the exams. IT WAS HELL ON EARTH. But luckily, God was around to save me. I was holding myself together, because at any moment, I would have broken down. But I didn't. I don't know where else that strength could have come from if not from God. I have no idea how a friend of mine, who is an atheist, got through such a trying period. In times when we, believers, trust God and say "Please bless me Lord...", he was saying "Huat ah..!" Oh well, I guess that was his way of blessing himself...his lucky words for himself. Sorry, can't help this snide remark. Just that his constant chant of "Huat ah" was annoying the hell out of me.

Official results was announced today at 3.45pm at the lobby of our faculty under a constant drizzle, which became a heavy rain. All 69 of us had to stand in front, facing the lecturers, who were sitting. The Dean announced one by one, the names of the people who had passed, meaning, you would want your name to be called!!! Can you imagine those minutes of waiting...and waiting...and waiting...for your name to be called, especially the 69th student? Boy, that might have been the suspense of the year. Almost every girl cried tears of joy, except me. *defensively* What?!! I just don't tear easily. Even some of the lecturers were having watery red eyes and nose...guy lecturers, might I add.

The announcement ended at 5pm and we had an appreciation dinner at 7pm. It was a hustle and bustle for the girls from then on, including me. Rushing to the saloon or make-up amid the peak hour of a traffic jam...crazy crazy... BUT IT WAS SUPER WORTH IT! Dinner was fun and amazing and just great great great.

NO WORDS COULD DESCRIBE HOW I FELT ON THE LAST WEEK  AND THE WEEK OF MY PROFESSIONAL EXAMS II and NO WORDS COULD DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL RIGHT NOW. 
Two totally different feelings, each at opposite end of the spectrum.


THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU GOD! x 1000000.

Faith is all I have

Lord, grant me the strength to go through these 3 weeks. I know I haven't been the most obedient daughter to You. But one thing I always have is Faith in you. I trust you more than I trust myself. Without Your grace, without You, I am nothing. Grant me strength, grant me peace, grant me wisdom, empower me with Your love and Holy Spirit. I am telling myself I can do this because I have You, I am Your daughter. And that is the only thing that is guiding and pushing me through this challenging time.

I am like a tightly-wound guitar string that is being wound up tighter and tighter as the day goes by, threatening to snap anytime.

KEEP IT TOGETHER! TRUST IN GOD!
