Thanks God for a slack 2nd sem:) I haven't been studying much since I came back from my Christmas holidays exactly one week ago. I hope I won't have to suffer the consequences of this week's worth of fun.

It was my birthday over the weekend!:))) I'm officially TWO-O now, no more a teenager! And as I start a new decade of my life, I've spent some time reflecting on the past 2 decades that I've lived through (though granted that I hardly remembered much from the first haha). And I'm so thankful to the Lord for my life. I can wish to be smarter, prettier, richer and all that, but I've been so richly blessed in my life, I can't ask for more without sounding greedy. What do I lack that isn't superficial?! I have a wonderful, supportive family, amazing friends; I'm on my way to becoming a doctor, which was what I wanted to be since I was 8; and I have the Lord in my life. I really am so truly blessed.

Today, I read a poem on facebook posted by some Malaysian Muslim friends. You can see it here:

And even though it's meant for Muslim girls, I still found the poem very meaningful.

Hello, I'm Mylene.

I love God, my family, my close friends, chocolate, Nutella, Nugatti, yam paste, Nonya kueh, baking, desserts, crunchy peanut butter, trying out new food places, books, travelling, airplane food, snail mail, vintage anything, medicine, wearing blood-red clothes, The Desiderata, stickers, hearts, making cards and origami, watching comedies, reading mystery/detective novels, playing mystery/detective games, mocha, yoghurt with fruits and muesli, dogs, quirky bags, soft & fluffy towels, pretty lingerie, Christmas, heels I cannot walk in, polka dots, smiles.

I try not to hate on anyone or anything because it's a waste of my time and energy. If I don't like it, I'll either try to change it or just ignore it.

I'm trying to live my life to the fullest, and be the best person that I can be.
