2013

2013 has come to an end. 
This is a very special year to me because many life changing events happened.

In early 2013, me and my husband, then fiance moved into our first home (officially got the key on our anniversary 19/12/12).  This marks a big step in our relationship, sharing household and also a mortgage :P

In March 2013, I also got married. One would think we had so much time to plan for the wedding (we were engaged for 1 year and 8 months), but truthfully we only started planning 6 months before the wedding day, and to my surprise, it wasn't too bad after all. The wedding day was marvelous, things couldn't have gone better and till this day (after 9 months of marriage) sometimes i still feel surprise that we are married already, and the wedding was long gone.

In the same year, I also graduated. (well i graduated the previous year but my official graduation ceremony was in May 2013). This means more celebrations!!

In the same year, I also stepped into the tough life of internship, working 49 hours a week and studying at the same time for the entire year, i endure lots of hardship and shed lots of tears. But hard work pays off in the end, because at this very same year, I achieved a competent result in my final assessment, and ended the year with a successful pharmacist registration and a pharmacist title!

I don't remember what my new year resolution was for this year, if i even had one. I believe it was somewhere along the line of passing my registration and have a good year of working and married life. Well, looks like i certainly did it.

It is so crazy to think how much my life has changed in one year. I started the year as a student, who graduated, and then bought a house, got married and passed her registration! Crazy i know..and i can't believe it is all over now.

For next year, i am making it easy for myself. The one and only new year resolution is to find a proper full time job that i am happy working with.

Thank you for an amazing year 2013, i hope to continue this exciting journey and expect more good things to come in following years! 

I know 2014 is going to be great if not better because we are starting this new year in Hong Kong and spending January in UK and Europe for our belated honeymoon! The most romantic cities in the world, here we come! Venice Rome Florence and Paris!!!

First day as a pharmacist!

My very first day as a fully registered pharmacist! :)))

A fresh start to a new chapter of my life!

Spent my night finally sorting old letters and cards... as much as i loved to hold on to those primary school christmas cards.. my ''junk box'' is getting bigger and bigger each year..  it is time to move on from the past and throw them out. I guess memories will just have to retain them itself.  *Although i did keep a few special ones :)*

FINALLY...

I have made it, finally!

One day to results

Tomorrow is the day my results will be revealed. I either become a registered pharmacist tomorrow or fail my internship assessment and have to do another 6 months internship and resit.

Whatever the result is, I hope to remind myself how lucky I am to have what I have.
 If I pass, a big part of my dream has come true, I will then focus on my life and family, keep working hard to achieve better things in my career, it is only the beginning.

If I fail, I wish to remind myself that everything happens for a reason. If I am not competent then I need to change my way of learning and review what I have done this whole year, it is time to reflect and improve.
I shall not be too sad, because I have a loving family, supportive husband, cutest dog in the whole world, and a cat.

Hopefully I won't be sitting in front of my lap top tomorrow night reading this post, crying.

Fingers cross.
