newleaf: March 2010
http://newleaf-life.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 1, 2010. Only that this is actually not a test. It's only my first day of work as an independent staff doctor. It should be alright. I'll just keep telling myself that. I'm a cautious and conscientious person anyhow, and if I don't know I can always still look things up or make a referral. But it is still nerve-wrecking nonetheless. I'll try to enjoy it. For the first time after years of studying and training, I'm going to be a real doctor tomorrow. Who writes this stuff anyway?

Sunday, November 15, 2015. Anger Hatred. Resentment. Belief systems. All irrational mindsets that are deeply rooted in all this. How we respond will further define this vicious cycle. But how do we respond? As an international community. As nations. As communities. As individuals. France has vocalized this was an act of war. Ironic since war is precisely what they want. Is war ever the answer? But Is diplomacy ever possible with irrational minds? Can anger ever be contained? So how do we respond. There i...

newleaf: December 2009

Thursday, December 3, 2009. Dis the season to be crying. What is it about me and bad outcomes right before christmas time? Last year, I was again on a medial team that had to deal with the tragic passing of a 1-day old newborn. It took me probably months to stop questioning every involvement I had with that case and I tried to learn from what lessons I developed from that experience to this day. That family, however, I'm sure, would be devastated for years to come. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

newleaf: October 2010
http://newleaf-life.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 3, 2010. All these years I've learned to view life with a critical eye. It's served me well. I'm great at identifying problem areas that can often lead to solutions. But when it's my own life, I'm been identifying too many problems and haven't yet discovered too many solutions. Perhaps being naturally critical is becoming a major downfall. I have yet to learn to count my blessings and enjoy life a little. I should be glad. I should be thankful. I am fortunate have so much opportunities to...

Friday, November 13, 2015. Never sit on an opportunity to express myself or to show others what I am capable of. Otherwise the next day days will just be filled with regrets of missed opportunities. Don't have to be rude about. But also no need to be too polite. Maintain respect, but seize the chance if it's there for you. Doors don't open by themselves. Resist the urge to sit back especially in the midst of a downward spiraling mood. Nobody will thank you for being a bystanders. And what good is that?

newleaf: Acceptance, Arrival, and Perseveration
http://newleaf-life.blogspot.com/2010/09/acceptance-arrival-and-perseveration.html
Friday, September 10, 2010. Acceptance, Arrival, and Perseveration. I've inherited a lot of good things from my parents, one of which is the spirit of persistence and the believe that, with enough will and creativity, one can always find ways to get what he wants in the end. I've lived that spirit for much my adult life and opened my doors to my future. And then I take that spirit many steps too far, and all my doors are closing because of it. Arrival cannot happen if I keep changing the destinations.

newleaf: August 2010

Sunday, August 8, 2010. Is this a sabbatical? On a curvy little side road, onto a stretch of modest old houses situated behind the popular hiking destinations, the Chiefs, I found the address to the place I were to stay in for the next two weeks while I embark on some extra Emergency Medicine training here in Squamish. It'll be nice. Of course I'm only here for 2 weeks this time, plus I plan to go back this weekend. So all this simplicity wouldn't last very long. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Monday, October 19, 2015. So this morning when I saw my friends posting their happy news on facebook, I sat there, cereal in hand, wondering if this should be the moment that I meet my fate. I took a deep breath, thought to myself 'what the heck, might as well let it be', then opened the email link. Whew What a relief. Hope I can keep this up. Hope this keeps me up. Newleaf. Now officially Newleaf, CCFP (EM). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Daily dose of imagery.

newleaf: June 2010

Thursday, June 10, 2010. Stay West, Stay True. How long has it been since I sent a day like this? Sitting here, at a coffee-shop in Kits, staring at the rain outside, at 1:51pm in the afternoon. It's refreshing. It's relaxing. It makes me feel that everything's gonna be alright. That everything IS alright. Suddenly, I feel the urge to write my blog again. It's been months since that last happened. I need more days like this. It's funny. The anticipation is often worse than the actual deed.

Sunday, January 31, 2010. Happy Birthday to Mom! I have a tendency to celebrate people's birthdays over three days. Years ago, I decided to make my friend Queenie a birthday meal. I forgot what happened. Somehow she talked me into making her another. Then something else happened. I think in the end I made her three meals. She was thrilled. Saturday morning I decided to follow Jamie Oliver's frittata idea but improvised with whatever I had in the fridge. In the end I made a Grilled Asparagus and Roast...
