Assalamualaikum and hai.
I am surprised blogger.com is actually still here.
It has been yearssss since I last opened my own blog. Is there people still blogging nowadays?
Anyway, I’m feeling nostalgic tonight and found myself scrolling through my old blog and Facebook posts. Both had been quiet for years now.
Reading the posts I wrote in my early 20s brings up mixed feelings. Part of me misses those carefree days, but at the same time, I now realise that many of the things I worried about back then were actually so small. Looking back, some of those posts make me cringe a little!
Still, I’m grateful that I wrote them and poured my emotions into those words. Revisiting those youthful, sometimes immature thoughts reminds me of how much I’ve grown and how far I’ve come.
Nowadays, I am only writing in physical journal. Can't really write everything online nowadays as most of my writing revolves around my daily life.. And by daily life I meant my work mostly, can't really write about my patients online, nanti kena saman or viral all for the wrong reasons. heh.
So my journal has become the keeper of all those thoughts, frustrations, little victories, and memorable moments. In a way, it feels more personal too. Maybe years from now, I’ll look back at those pages the same way I’m looking back at my old Facebook posts tonight — cringing at some parts, laughing at others, but grateful that I took the time to record a little piece of my life.
I am on my fourth year of Master in Paediatrics. I don't really know HOW I made it, but somehow here I am, on my journey of becoming paediatrician. Sometimes, I think it all started more than 10 years ago during my paediatric rotation in medical school. One of the residents watched me interacting with the children in our class and casually told me, “You’ll make a good paediatrician someday.”
It stuck with me until now, and during my housemanship, Paediatric was the one rotation in which I was most confident and really enjoyed myself.
Oklah, that's all for today.
