Life changing experience

Tomorrow I will be going on a induction course for newly appointed doctors and it will be held at the Cherengin Spa & Convention Centre in Janda Baik, Bentong for 4 days ( will desperately miss my Mia-chan)

From there on, my life will slowly change from a bored full-time mother to a working personnel..and needless to say it will be hell busy.

I don't know if I will have time to write for the next few weeks because the times ahead will be though.

It is every oversea-trained doctors worse fear-starting over in Malaysia. Our training just doesn't prepare us enough for Malaysian work environment and expectations. To further complicate things, I have been in Internal Medicine for so long that I hardly remember to do anything outside the specialty.

Needless to say, the coming days will be bitter and painful. There will be blood, sweat and tears ( LOTS) as I try to adapt to this new system.

However, I am also a firm believer of it doesn't really matter what sort of background you came from, the more important thing is how you handle stressors and adapt to your environment whilst still maintaining your core values.

Mia-chan ❤❤them when she was small..this is one of mummy's secret to get her to eat
( besides spag bol of course).

I was super duper excited when I spot this in TESCO. Oh kenangan lama..




She wanted to do the 1 Malaysia sign as the song airs on TV. Haha. It's OK Mia-chan, mummy got you.

Wish Lists!

Dear Hubby,
I think you've noticed me being in a very foul mood over the last couple of days. Strangely, I cannot tell you WHY because I myself had been at a lost to finding out the reason I was being a real b****.
What I can tell you though are ways to dissipate the tension, so read the below well.
1. I want to EAT sushi
So I'm not pregnant, but I am craving for them BAD. These people are clearly not helping by sending me these pictures.











2. I NEED to eat pasta
I have always associated STRESS with food since I can remember. During my uni days, I look like Kristin Allen on a 'diet'. I can easily finish a tub of Ben & Jerry's with a big bar of Almond and Chocolate Cadbury's on one setting while crying my eyes out (dalam hati la, because I live with 3 housemates).
And pasta, had been my all time favourite. Cannot live without them for more than a week. Hence, feeling so 'geram' because cannot find a decent spag bol in Kelantan..could this be the MAIN reason that ticks me off?
3. I want to work
This is something you can't help me with. So ignore..
4. I want a get-away
How many times we've been on holidays since coming back, I cannot remember. But, the effect doesn't last long. However, I still think I need one. (This one is very important OK!)
5. I want my own house
Patience hasn't always been a great trait of mine. I have been SUPER jealous watching other people's houses. I long to buy furnitures and washing machines, spend hours in my walk-in closet, to cook in my own kitchen and to nap in front of the TV for hours without a care in the world.
Actually I think this is what I really need. Some time away for myself, mia-chan and you ONLY. I miss our Dublin days living as a family, in our own way, by our own rules. I miss being the QUEEN of the house-doing things I want, when I want it. Aiyoo..so selfish, yet so true.
I know these are not easy to fulfill, so in the meantime I will try to make myself understand..but oh how my heart won't listen to reasons.
XOXO
Miserable Queen B
