Life = Energy + Time

 Today I listened to Master Louis' free webinar on 奇门遁甲. The best take-home message is the definition of life. He mentioned that life means energy and time and it made me wonder if I have been spending time and energy on the right things and if I did not it means I am wasting my life. It feels rather uncomfortable to reflect on how I have been spending my days since graduation. I do not want to unnecessarily scrutinize myself and instead of thinking what I did not achieve or do, I am going to list out what I have achieved so far. 

1. Did central venous line on a 2.7kg infant and the procedure was uneventful 

2. Handled a complication professionally and although it is still ongoing, I think I did well (no one will ever know the amount of sleepless nights I had)

3. Overcome my fear by doing the same procedure again a few times and acknowledging the fact that I don't have to blame myself over and over again 

4. Presented on a national level event, had stage fright but I guess it wasn't so bad 

5. upgraded my knowledge pertaining ultrasound...I wish I could be well prepared for certification! (yeah the exam and certification part is bugging me as I badly wanted to be certified but I am not ready yet!) 

6. Supervised CME for the first time and received good feedback

7. Tried making cheese tart and it was 80% successful 

8. Helped my mother in law with her stall whenever I am not occupied every Sunday. I try my best to make it whenever I can

9. Bravely cancelled my health insurance (not sure why but I felt it is the best decision and I felt relieved to have the courage to do without it) 

10. Figured out how to send gifts to China via Tao Bao and WeChat (somehow I just love sending gifts to my game friends!)

Have I done anything meaningful everyday? Perhaps the nature of my job itself is already meaningful. I think every career has its purpose and I am thankful to those encounters in my daily work that added value to my life. It is not like I crave for acknowledgement but when someone does express gratitude it makes me feel what I am doing it worth it, worth my time and energy and that means my life is not wasted. Of course other than seeking affirmation externally, one should seek internally and that is why I am only going to focus on the good and positive things in my life. Master say if we are happy we will look younger than our actual age and I really need that.

Singapore

Continuation from yesterday’s post.  I finally ate the ice cream which is sandwiched between two wafers that I saw before and it was yummy because there’s like a huge block of ice cream and the wafer was thin. I chose peppermint chocolate and raspberry swirl. It was really fun to eat that on the helical bridge that totally looks like a DNA strand. I really love this region and it was also the same place where the fun run was held. So I got to go across the helical bridge twice. I am also very happy to finally seen the Merlion and since it was early in the morning during the fun run, the place was rather quiet and there were not many crowds. I wanted to properly run the fun run but I end up walking most of the time just enjoying the scene and talking to people since it was supposed to be a networking event. Delegates from 142 countries were there but I only manage to make friends from Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, India, Indonesia, Germany and New Zealand. It was quite hard to make ...

Out of the blue

 I remembered I used to cry a lot about Icy, and I was very confused with my own actions and emotions. During that period, I needed someone to talk to, and I did not want to talk to anyone who knew me in real life so I just spoke to someone random in-game. He joined the clan and I used to want people to be active and donate clan points and make a lot of reminders for members to play world boss. It was also during that time that I cleared out some members to make way for new ones. I may have recall bias as I had a lot of sadness in me back then and when I am sad I cannot recall things properly. I just remember the guy was from Brazil and when he heard of my story he was mad at me as he said I was unfaithful to my husband and he left the clan and deleted me as friend. I was rather shocked with his response and at that time I was also sad as I realize no one will ever be compassionate enough to understand my feelings.  Anyway that was more than 1 year plus ago. I think I stopped ...

忙或困是最好的解药

 我想人类是需要足够的睡眠, 过于操劳能让一个人所有的情绪给封闭起来,脑子里只想让自己“关机”。今天刚巧是个很忙的一天,忙得我真的没时间去思念任何人,也没时间胡思乱想。我记得我曾经说过为了避免自己难过,我若是隔天要离开情人/亲人,我刻意让自己睡眠不足。当我觉得我很困的时候,我就没机会伤心了,这个生活窍门我用了很多次也从未失败过。  我不能说我完全没有想他,因为今天工作所遇到的事我都很想和他分享。由于很忙这个想法只是瞬间经过我的大脑然后很快的又消失了。我可算是个认真的人,工作时我都不分心所以我真的想他了,要不然他是不会出现在我脑海里。其实我今天有和我老公说我想他了可是他没有回答我给他的简讯。1256,1637, 2327 这些是我发了简讯的时间可是一个答复都没有。想一想我真的是个孤单的人。虽然我很爱独处,但是我也喜欢有个和我三观一致的人和我分享生活。 我现在只希望今晚有机会睡觉因为昨晚我0200就醒来了。我没想他了,我只渴望睡觉。其实还有很多话想说但是我真的很困了。
