The fact that all three of us are residing in different countries made this trip long awaited yet fulfilling.
My elder sister E took up the responsibility of caring and staying with my parents in Sabah after she graduated from dental school. Although she took a year to venture the KL city right after graduation, she finally decided to return to our hometown, where my parents and our relatives live. Now a happy wife and a mother of one, she owns a busy dental clinic where she finds satisfaction and achievement, especially when all her patients walk out of her clinic with a generous smile.
My younger sister A has been away from home since the age of 16. Currently living with her doctor hubby in Melbourne, she is determined to become a real chef by taking up a Patisserie course. Her creations of french desserts are absolutely gorgeous and mouth watering. With delicate hands like hers, I always wonder what other magic she can whip up in the kitchen.
As for myself, after slaving for few years in a restructured hospital, I finally left the brutal war zone to enjoy what life is like with a bit of flexibility. Leaving all the baggage behind as a medical officer in the hospital, I realised life is not just about emergencies and sad endings. Community health care is indeed what we encounter everyday and patients can be a happy bunch of people. I am glad that I made the choice of coming to Singapore after med school. This is where I met my lovely husband and started a new chapter of my life.
Due to our hectic schedules and difference in seasons and holidays, three of us seldom meet up. Even if we try our best to return home during holidays, we are always short of one person. If it wasn't for A's ROM, I couldn't imagine when would be the reunion.
Here are some photos of the happy couple on their ROM day and my little nephew who loves to be the centre of attention.
