Hiya everyone!
Sorry that I've been missing in action since the announcement of my results. It had been super hectic these past few days, helping out with the graduation dinner, sorting out my forms and paperwork, going for the interview, cleaning up my room (in the worse state that I've ever seen it since I was born), catching up with friends.. the list is endless! It's only now, after clearing up all the mess and papers and all, that I finally got some time to breathe!
So thought I'll take this time to do something important and dear to my heart:
To thank all those who had helped me thru these past 5 years. I would've never made it, without you.
(Ya, sappy, I know... But give chance la :P ) Keke
To my best friend, Kev:
You've made one of the most memorable 3 years of my life. I still believe fate brought us together, and you'll always be my angel. Thanks for being extremely patient with me when you teach, and for being a sport when I crack the lamest jokes. Thanks for taking care of me when I break, and catching me when I fall. But most of all, thanks for accepting me for me.
To my PIC, my bestest kengkawan, my star buddy, my makan kaki, my cam-loving pal:
For you, only my heartfelt wishes... and the greatest dreams.
Hugs.
To my beloved Evil Overlord, Serena:
What can I say about ya? You're one of the most interesting gals that I've ever met :P Nothing like going out on movie frenzies with you ('L' still rules :P, and as always, the ultimate 'Prestige') and yakking the whole time while indulging on whoppers, rootbeers and waffles :P
Interestingly enough, our paths had crossed many times during preclinicals, and yet we never did get together until lemmings came about (So thanks Kev :) ).
Have I ever regretted it? Ermm... Who would? :)
Thanks for all your hilarious smses, and for siding me when bullying Kev. Not forgetting, being my ward partner during the crucial final few weeks. Murmurs, jumping on lil unwatched kids, and psy-sex stories, made the final league bearable :) Oh, and thanks for explaining stuff to me repeatedly (Sorry that I AM a lil slow on uptakes :P)
So to the craziest-manga-indulging gal that I know (and who introduced poor innocent me to the dungeons of manga/anime and corrupted me forever):
May you have an everflowing stream of the slashy mangas, and the white haired guy of your dreams.
:P
To Ah Hui, the blurrest lemming ever:
Its been a great pleasure knowing you. Only you can be THAT naive and get away with things :P Keke. For all the quaintness and bananaboats and makan trips, it's your presence that astounds me every time.
Oh, will never forget your lobster look in redang :)
So for you, my dearest girl, may you have all the puppies that you ever want, and everything else as well :)
To Jinn Hwa, my dearest buddy:
At least Kean Yau did something right: Taking both of us in :P
It's been great having you as a buddy, and roommates twice as well. You never fail to amaze me with your sleeping and eating abilities :)
Thanks for all your prayers, and for being my sister in Christ.
Do His will, and all else will follow.
Take care always, and God bless.
To Evan:
5 years.. and though much has changed, I'm glad that our friendship didn't.
Thanks for being there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on.
And for everything else that you've done.
You'll always be my Evan.
Take good care of yourself, and hope all your dreams come true.
Have faith in Him.
God bless.
To Timothy:
From the times when you sat next to me during preclinicals, and the days we had in Glasgow, you've proven that you're not only damn smart, but you can cook up a storm too :P
Nothing like cooking dinner and doing dishes to bring two people closer together.
Thanks for all the great times we had in Glasgow (from the freezing cold snow to the wonderful pub food we had), and for being a friend.
Take care, all the best in your future, and if you do end up back in UK, let me know :)
To Mr Yap:
Thank you for being one of the most dedicated lecturers ever.
Much of what you have taught I will carry with me forever.
Do continue teaching with the passion that you have, and thanks again for everything.
God bless you and your family.
To all my groupmates:
Thanks for all the joy and laughter you've brought to my life. It's when people are together that they learn to love each other more. So for all the great times in all the various crappy/crazy/notorious postings that we were in, especially KP... Thank you very very very much. All the best to all of you, and try not to kill anyone ya? :) Luv ya all!
To my beloved Sotong:
Ai lub ewww!!!!
Think that says it all :) Keke
Thanks for being my ranting ground, and for being my sis.
It's a miracle once that we were put together, but a miracle twice when we still have and choose to love each other.
Lublublublubsotong! :)
To my crazy D:
You never fail to make me laugh, even at my darkest hours. My rants seem to fall on unperturbed ears, yet you still manage to make me happy. No thanks for driving me crazy at times though. Haha.
And don't worry, you'll get yours soon enough. And I'll be there when you do :)
PS: You still owe me fishballs.
To Josh, my cuz:
Thanks for that msn message. I never knew how significant my passing was to you until I saw the congratulatory message that you wrote. It meant a lot. So thanks.
To Kin Yan:
Like I've always said before, great pals are hard to come by. I'm really glad to know you, and to have you as my friend. Though we may be miles apart, it always take effort to remain close, and I'm glad you do (more than me anyway. And I'm sorry! :().
Take care over there, and I'll see you when you get back.
And thanks... for everything.
Hugs.
To HL:
It's interesting how 7 years could change our lives. One a pharmacist, and the other finally a doctor. And within the flurry of attaining our degrees, I'm glad that we still made time for each other. Thanks again for taking me in while I was in Glasgow, and for bearing with all the whining and unexpected extremely long phonecalls of mine :)
All the best in your work, and ignore all the crappy bosses :P Keke
To CK:
You were there for me when I needed you. Nothing matters more than that.
Thanks for everything.
And oh, thanks for teaching me some last minute stuff that actually mattered and came out for my exams :P keke
Take care, my dear.
To Jo Han:
It's been 10 years now, and yet you're still there for me.
Words cannot express how much you mean to me.
You not only care, you show that you do. And that matters most of all.
Though we may be oceans apart, those precious conversations we had will always remain in my heart.
To one of the greatest friends that I'm blessed enough to have:
I miss you much. Get your MD and come back soon k?
To WF:
It's interesting that it's not how long we know each other that matters, but what we did within that short span that we had. You've been there for me the most for the past few months, and nothing puts a smile on my face more than your daily greetings :) I'm sorry if I did whine your ears off. I'll buy you makan(s) k? :)
For all that you've done, as little as it may seem, it helped a lot. Seriously.
So thanks.
To Uma dearest:
Yup, I did it! :)
*super big sigh of relief*
Thanks for all your support, and for a 18 years of friendship (and still going strong) :) Wedding, son/daughter's bday, son/daughter's graduation, you name it, I'll be there! :)
Take care over there in Aus, and call me when you get back to meet up!
(PS: 18 years leh! No joke! Amazing! :))
To HonYau:
Yupyup... I finally finished! :)
(5 years seemed like never ending ya?)
I still remember me telling you about my struggles during form 6, and now... I've made it.
PTL!!
(Long time never see you leh. Hope all is well :) )
Hmmm... did I miss out anyone?
I hope not.
But if I did, I'm sorry, it's just the lack of sleep that's wrecking up my brain :P
Yes, of course you matter to me too, and thanks for all you've done.
Arigato!
:)
It's been the greatest journey, the roughest, toughest, and surprisingly, the sweetest.
I've learned.. I've grown.. and I've seen.. things that I would probably never experience in my life if it wasn't for medicine.
And I would probably never have made it thru without your support and love.
So thanks, once again.
*All notations of gratitude can be use to claim a meal from me :P*
Oh, and to all those who passed along with me:
WE MADE IT!!!!
CONGRATS EVERYONE!!!
:)
To those who didn't:
Take care, and all the best. We'll see each other again in a while as Drs ya? :)
Before I sign off, my degree is dedicated to my grandma, who has shown me that you CAN beat the odds.
So gran, this is for you.
And to Him, who's guiding hand never fails.
- jess, thankful -
