Little efforts count.

No matter how busy I am, I tell myself to never make excuses to stop serving. I will continue to do my weekly home and ward visitations, knowing how much the people are blessed because of the time spent talking to them and making them feel cared for.

So whatever you are doing, do your best. Love people the way you want to be loved. :)

Out for clinicals!

Life's been tough... it's been hell of a time for me since last week. Stress level has been going way too high and anxiety level at its peak. I know worrying doesn't work. So I am not worried, just feeling very stretched at the moment. I believe I will get better!

Apart from the pressure, I am nevertheless thankful for a good placement and supervisor. NUH is definitely one of the best learning environments in Singapore and my supervisor is one experienced clinician who is nicknamed, "Walking Encyclopedia". He is so knowledgeable that I feel terribly inferior. Well, that just means one thing, READINGS! Truly, knowledge is power. With knowledge comes good clinical reasoning and with good clinical reasoning, smart assessments and effective treatment can then be performed. I need to improve on my planning skills! Time cannot be wasted. :)

34 more days before I turn 21.

Some ask if I am excited and some ask if I am scared... I would say both? I guess it kind of rocks to be 21, an official young adult but with more freedom comes greater responsibilities. And that kind of scares me. But let's be positive, when the time comes, I think I will be ready to take that sort of weight on my shoulders.

I didn't plan to have a celebration initially but to make my grandmother and parents happy, I am now having one. And I am starting to feel excited for it!
