It's a pity I only started to appreciate Yasmin Ahmad's work after her passing away. I admrie her inspiring spirit and perspective on life. Yet another individual who is passionate for life, who champions love and relationships.. but had to pass on when least expected to.

I think her ads and films are thought provoking and... soul awakening. Have we unconsciously put our souls to sleep by the daily routine, tasks, goals etc and missed out some of the core things that make life worth living. Have we ever noticed the beauty in some little imperfections in our lives. I guess it's ok if we have forgotten or got distracted. This is why we need regular dosages of refreshing and reflection.

Tomorrow when you wake up, remember to thank God for the rising sun and a brand new day. Remember to live, love and laugh.

On another note...

Lfe's been great lately. Enjoying Rural Rotation. Medicine is becoming alive for me in this small country town, also known as the land of peanuts. Besides the superb accomodation and various interesting expriences, the interns and doctors are all exceptionally nice and willing to teach! As anti-social as I can be sometimes, I'm liking the weekly dinner at a hotel where the hospital staffs to medical students to senior doctors all seem equal on table. Kingaroy changes my impression on Aussies (there are genuine ones! what a surprise) and I don't dread going to hospital unlike previously.

My adventures over the past week :
observed dilatation and curretage for a miscarriage; scrubbed in to assist in caesarean section; drew blood; did many cannulations and maintaining the success rate; pre-operative preparation of patient; assisted in inguinal hernia repair, umbilical hernia repair, cholecystectomy, basal cell carcinoma excision on nose and taking skin graft from neck; and quite a number of suturing/stitching (no longer on pig trotter but real human).

!

What I must say is that all these shows God's faithfulness. How He answer prayers, walk and see us through the valleys and then pour out His blessings and favor.

Counting my blessings!
