Praise the Lord for giving me -literally- the best year ever!
If we thought about every single moments which had already ensued during this year, Most of people in my class (Batch 2007/Class 2013) would profoundly agree : 2013 was remarkable. Reminiscing every great moments in 2013 :
- Year of graduation - Now,everyone officially calls you "Doc,...." -
- Year of vowing The Hippocratic Oath - The Oath that we hold until we demise, our ethical orders in every parts of our career -
- Year of passing Medical license's National Exam ( CBT and OSCE!)
- Year of starting the compulsory Internship(so-called-obligatory-community-services) year - a first milestone of our medical career, and this year is the first year that government raised our salary, isnt that great? -
For me, this year started with much hurdles. I lost my old rusty motorcycle. it is exquisitely old, so for some people who might get in the same shoes with me, perhaps they won't get bothered and simply just buy a new motorcycle or car. but for me, it has accompanied me during my hardest and finest time during my clerkship, so it brought so much memories. And also, since I took Elective in Germany last year, so I had tight schedule in order to catch up, hence I could graduate in similar time with most pupils in my class. well, dont ask me about my endeavour for that, I know I am not the brightest one,nor the luckiest, nor the most dilligent one, but I know the power of persistence and perseverance ;) . And modestly speaking, I learned that it is very necessary to plan every things accordingly and precisely. I consider : planning is part of making your dreams come true.
But this year also excruciatingly took me to another level of experience. Doing new and unexpected things would gladly gave so many perspectives. Bacpacking to Bali and Cirebon without any previous plan (decided 3 hours before flight) or any proper amount of clothes was crazy thing to do, but it was fun to travel spontaneously! Visiting so many places, not only common touristic places (London,Dubai,Oxford/Cambridge,or Scotland maybe?) but also the mundane places ( Bath, Stonehedge, Exeter,Devon or Truro,Cornwall), taught me about different culture and different people's way of life. Meeting new people from every parts of the world in The University of Oxford, Joining their eldest fraternity in medicine and academic, was a precious experience. And eventually, starting my internship year in Pariaman with great team and supervisor was such a blessing from Allah SWT
And I mulled every things above, and I decide,Ok...this year was splendid!
Well, there's still a dissapointment in my 2013 resolutions . I cancelled my Master (S-2) Application to Oxford this year. After pondering every possibilities and weighing on the pros and the cons very thoroughly, I decided it is better if I gave myself one year more to getting more working experiences and mulling everything again and again what I really want to do in my life. After all, the procrastination will not give me any further harm, beside,I am not in hurry,right?
But, I indoubtedly decide, 2013 is IMPECCABLE !
Thanks for everyone who already helped me to make it happen!
