Landmines. It reminded me of the DMZ, just that instead of posing with a sign that demarcated the unsafe zone which still contained unearthed landmines, this time the threat was real. Haha I feel like I'm writing a story. Lesson learnt that hierarchy must be respected and it's imperative to tread carefully.

Sometimes wonder how life would have turned out if I'd done the veterinary course instead. All the "what ifs" that surface when things don't happen to go as expected.

When people ask me what I studied, somehow the first thing that pops out of my mouth is "TCM". Despite mine being a double degree and I could actually very well have said "Biomedical Sciences" instead. Job prospects aside, I'm sure we all know whether we indeed truly regret taking this course or are not the least bit proud of it. For me, these 5 years have made me pro-TCM, and we've all seen its limitless potential in what it can treat, but the realities of life show that sometimes passion is not enough- many other accompanying factors play a part too. Which is why I guess the main priority for me right now is my ricebowl. It's not solid enough to indulge my thinking big and dreaming big, just yet.
