Congrats, Michelle!

My best friend, Michelle Tan called just a few days ago to deliver some good news. I don’t usually receive good news especially with the industry I am in. People will only complain but they won’t compliment if you have done a good job. They probably think that’s our obligations to do everything for them (at no cost) and of course to put smileys on their face. Well just be prepared if you are thinking of joining a volitile servicing industry, all you need for is patience, patience and patience :-@. Okay, let me continue before I drag too far.

Michelle, being my good friend for nearly two decades has finally made it through her Bachelor of Medical Sciences Bachelor of Medicine & Surgery (corrected @ 23 Aug) and going to be a housement officer in one or two months time. Time flies when I looked back the days we grew up together. She has always been confident of her achievement in school since her academic results are often in merit, if not 1st then 2nd or 3rd. Her confidence somehow got struck when she entered IMU. You know there are vital differences between Chinese educated and English educated students. The latter ones are always outspoken and are open to debate whenever necessary. Chinese educated students in contrast are always timid, it is just not them to raise hands and speak up their minds. So my friend had some problems earlier communicating with lecturers. It’s not of being weak in her studies, it’s merely the outspoken ones had outshine her.

But I am so glad and happy for her that she made it through with ther strong willpower. Dear, your journey however does not end just yet. A life long learning journey has just begun!

I wish you all the best as you venture into another, yet exciting moments of your life! Remember, I am always here for you whenever you need me.
