Hello New Year =)

Hello everyone, how are you doing?

It's 2014!!! Wow, 2013 did really just passed by so fast.

2 hours before 12am, my friend and I were in town waiting for the fireworks and we were reflecting about 2013.

So what happened in...

January- I went to Wick and met amazing friends.

February- I was still in Wick and enjoying every minute of the company, except on CNY where I was all alone in my spacious room, starring at the horse and wishing for a bowl of Wan Tan Mee.

March- Special eventful month where I got a confirmation for my job, was in the finals of the surgical competition and I had a poster presentation in a conference.

April- I was in Inverness, enjoying Naruto 18 hours a day for I think 2-3 weeks while pretending to be busy with my electives =P

May- Back to Aberdeen for preparation before finals.

June- The last exam as a student and knowing that I passed my exam a week later. Had a great time at Germany with the girls in my family.

July- Poster presentation just a day before Graduation, graduated and had one of the retiring surgeon/ tutor looking for me and congratulating me. Totally enjoyed the company of my family too.

August- Started work 2 weeks later than everyone as I was given 2 weeks leave. Did my own ward round alone  and managed to keep everyone alive for 2.5 weeks as my senior/ registrar was away. Highlight of my 1st few weeks on the job --> getting thanks from patients and in front of the consultants too =)

September- Nothing much besides my work and hijacking my housemate's plan to celebrate my birthday. Instead of celebrating my birthday, I made it into a birthday celebration for my friend who's birthday was 5 days before mine =P Oh ya, I had the best birthday present ever too!!

October- Came back from Serbia conference which I had shit time thanks to the JAT airway for delaying my luggage, forcing me to do the least thing I enjoy in the world- shopping for clothes. Mom flew over and we went to Prague and Vienna, all expenses on me. There went my 1st month pay =)

November- Don't think anything special happened?

December- Changed department, survived my first receiving, impressed the surgical consultant who was known to be kinda full of himself and got the opportunity to assist in 2 surgeries!! Oh and I had my road trip around UK canceled due to some unforeseen circumstances. But at least I had a great time on Christmas day (despite being alone in the ward again) and on New Year's Eve too.

So 2013 has been quite eventful for me, unlike others who had breakups, new relationships, new babies etc, mine is kinda boring but hey, at least something happened right? Oh ya, forgot to mention that I had missed quite a few weddings, 3 or 4 I think.

Hopefully 2014 will be better =)

Happy New Year!!
