Year 2011 has been a year of trepidation, apprehension and stress but ultimately triumph. This year has been so long it seems like 2. Well but I managed to visit Japan twice and Korea once, sweet rewards for hard work. Can't believe it was only 6 months ago that I packed to leave Beijing for good, shipping boxes home and selling my furniture, and barely 5 months ago that I threw my mortarboard in the air, sweated in the gown, and screamed with relief that 我们终于毕业了！
This year is an important milestone in life because I finally got my 2 degrees after toiling for 5 long years and my TCM physician's license after fighting for 5 yrs 2 mths! In tiong-speak it would really be worthy of the words "折腾". And I landed my first job, got my first pay....
Now all I'm looking forward to is for my work to progress smoothly, such that I can get things done without having to OT too much, and for the Europe trip to work out next yr :) Then before I know it 1 year will be up and I can review my options. Plus I hope a good solution can be worked out for me to proceed with the matching program. It somehow just seems more and more apparent that TCM is not going anywhere in Singapore. The realities and complexities I've come to discover show that it's going to take a real long time. There's hope though, and I'll try my best in the time I'm still in Ministry :)
