but I still wanna do this because I want to remember my 2016 in 10 years' time.
Can't believe I'm only doing this in July.. procrastination level 9999
1. First CNY away from home
Was posted to Tralee on the first day of CNY, and I remembered vividly, it was a rainy day. First CNY reunion dinner in Cork and it wasn't too bad :p
2. 5 weeks of attachment at Tralee
Turns out to be an amazing 5 weeks. The student accommodation and teachings were great. Not to mention the whole course of indian free food every Wednesday and Friday, and free blueberry and banana muffins every Tuesday for grand rounds ;)
All rooms are ensuite and considered myself lucky, because UCC usually books Kings Court Apartment for their students and we have to bring our own duvets and pillows. However, it was fully booked at that time and they had to allocate us to Tralee Town Centre Apartments. Although it's slightly further away from the hospital, I don't mind it at all. After all, I need the extra walk for all the indian meals I've been glutting on :X
A surprised me on V-day and we had dinner at Cassidy's, where I had the best seafood chowder (to date).
I was so stuffed that I felt nauseating after the three course meal. I didn't even finish my chocolate fudge cake, and this rarely happens because I'm a dessert lover. I probably have a small appetite back then..gosh, I can't believe how much food I could chuck into my belly now T_____T!!!
Thank you for the memories, Tralee :)
3. Ring of Kerry & Dingle road trip
It was a rushed trip as we tried to cover as many places as we could..
4. St. Patrick's Day
6. Summer holidays back in Asia
Things didn't go well for me back in 2016...
I was supposed to move into a new house, but the landlord decided to null the contract and use the house as his GP centre instead; A & I didn't work out; The gruelling uncertainty of ECFMG's decision on whether I could sit for the USMLE exams because they do not recognise UBD as a medical school...
Everything was just falling apart. I had a short trip to SG & Thailand to clear my mind.
Everything happens for a reason and right now, I'm at the place where I'm supposed to be.
Things may not have turned out the way I wanted it to, but I'm grateful for everything that I have and the experiences that I've been through. They made me who I am today; I've grown and learnt from past mistakes (I hope lol), and I'm thankful for the unceasing support from my family, friends and L through my bad times.
船到桥头自然直 (:
7. Raya in Brunei and Cork
Raya screams food, and weight gain. Irresistible Malay food. nomnomnomnom
Also, I've cut my hair before heading back to Cork.
New semester, new start, new hair.
This was the shortest hair length that I have since...primary school. I know it's not that short, but my hair was always shoulder length or longer.
Mum likes my hair short. She thinks I look younger, and cuter :p
A medic8ion get together (missing F tho).
It was great to see everyone else as half of the group missed Junjung Ziarah in December :(
9. Mooncake festival
2nd mooncake festival away from home!! This time, without J :(
Thank you mama for feeding me HK mooncakes every year~
10. Kinsale
11. Halloween
We all went for the cool/goth look? Didn't plan any of our outfits but somehow, all of us ended up wearing navy blue/black.
I was a vampire (no idea why I looked so tanned in the pictures tho) so yes, Asian tanned vampire =_=
12. A's birthday
W came to Cork to surprise A~ It was a failed surprise because she went to lunch with AT and we were starving, waiting for her to come back.
Rainbow theme party failed ;( Sorry A..I'll game up this year :D
Went to SoHo for a 2 course meal dinner after that because we were famished.
13. My Birthday
Favourite month, favourite occasion of the year.
My friends know me well. A Fairy lights photoshoot = a dream came true.
Thank you all!
14. Winter travels
Thank you 2016 for the good and the bad.
It's mid-2017 now and I can't wait to see what's in store for me for the other half year.
Fighting!!
