Looking through the Eyes: the Ophthamology

It is an unusual day today.

Sleeping soundly since dinner till now (9.30pm), sipping my favourite Jing Si Tea, playing my favourite playlist at the background as I type the story of a journey which has lasted for 4 weeks. 


When I have time for tea 

 There are many stories and experiences that I would love to put them down into words, but with my usual routine, I wonder when will be the next update in my blog.

 “Congratulations, you are the leader”….

 That was what written on the small sheet of paper which I have just taken by drawing lots for the selection of the next group leader for Ophthalmology posting.

I smiled quietly and told Cindy  before walking away that “I have a reason to be the leader”.

Of course I do.

Vincent said everything I do, I would have planned far ahead to benefit myself in whatever situation. I agree.

I dislike Ophthalmology and I cursed it really badly when I am in Semester 6.

I have no idea what the lecturer is talking and I have so much of phobia during the exam.

 I remembered how I mugged the answers for the MCQs from the past years just to cheat myself through during the Assessment exam.

I dislike that feeling of losing control and trying too hard but not getting back proportionally in return.

Hence, I have made a vow- The vow that I shall never be fearful to this subject anymore.

I read Khurana during Ortho posting and apply my knowledge by having discussion with Bernard and Jason who at that time were in Ophtha.

 I enjoyed the responsibility of Ophtha posting leader so that I know what is going on and make myself more aware of it.

 I seek help from Han Jie to teach me Anterior segment examination days before the posting start.

 I pushed myself to the maximum even on the first day class with Dr Rajiv until I almost annoyed him due to the hyperactivity.

I have never put so much of effort into one discipline like Ophthalmology after Internal Medicine.


A good breakfast before going for Short case exam. 

 Today, when I finished the posting and saw Dr Rajiv happy and proud expression, it was so rewarding and I felt so appreciated for the effort I put in.

I should say thank you now to the hatred and anger I have on Ophtha because it allow me to put in efforts to transform this negative feelings into passion and love for the subject.

 Results are not even out, but yet I have felt great sense of satisfaction, because it is already MY best, if I cannot reach THE best.


Delightful time after Portfolio Defence and signify the end of posting

Signing out, Ophthamology.

ps: wishing my peers a happy study break and let us win this war together called P2S2.

May all be well and happy.
