The end of 2010

In less than a week, I would be saying goodbye to the year 2010!

Well.. this year have been a great year as usual. Though I had to say, crying episodes have increased.

I am at a changing point now where my location for the next 2-5 years would be roughly undecided.

Well, it was a mixture of extreme happiness and extreme sadness I would say I think. I had a superb Christmas, probably one of the best I have ever had :)..

This 2011, I wish I would be another year wiser. I may not be the best person in the world, but I want to do good and I hope I will.

I want to be happy, do things I love to do, and still maximize my time for beneficial things that is purposeful.

This point of time, is also the first time I am considering a non-surgical career. I was beginning to think I don't want to be married to my job. I remembered a pediatrician from Thomas Jefferson University that came to IMU. I was asking him about the lifestyle of his job and surgical stuff. I remembered vividly what he told me. He said," if you still want to be able to go skiing and jungle-trekking, this is the job for you. "

I want to go surfing. I want to go for a yoga retreat. I want to go scuba diving. I still want to teach music.

Maybe sometimes the most miniscule and insignificant reason for doing something would simply be the main reason why some people does things. Of course, considering the fact that I did not do well for my USMLE means I am probably not mentally capable of undertaking the mentally and physically challenging job?

Oh well.. I'll cross the bridge when I reach it.

Anyway, Happy 2011!!! :)
