Simultaneously there was a steday flow of music transcription work for #Disney television/streaming.
Somehow we still managed a trip to see the Santa Barbara Symphony and friend, concertmaster Elizabeth Hedman; and attend a Chinese New Year celebration with our Los Angeles Sarawakian friends that featured friendly people and great food - rendang, curry puffs, pandan chiffon cake, and more!

Frogging at Kubah National Park
Frogging, short for frog-watching, is a practical hobby focused on finding observing frogs in their natural settings. Malaysia’s forests host a great density frogs—from common forest dwellers to species with restricted ranges. Night strolls after rain near water bodies are ringing with a chorus of croaking.

My Reflection Of 2025
Related Posts:
2025, was indeed a year.
The year started out great, I worked on New Year’s Day as usual in the Department of Medical and in April, I entered into my final posting, the Emergency and Trauma Department. In May, I attended my best friend’s wedding.
In July, I completed my internship and received my full registration under the Malaysian Medical Council (MMC) as well as my Annual Practicing Certificate (APC) and started locumming during my holidays back home and I also started floating as a Medical Officer in the Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery. It was a steep learning curve for me, transitioning from a House Officer into a Medical Officer. The anxiety increased and I was constantly tired. I remembered my love for medicine and service fading to the point I took a long break in October to recharge and reflect.
2025 was also the year, I handed in my 30-days-notice to resign but revoke it the following day. Perhaps it was too much for me, although the working environment and superiors were more than sweet and kind. Physically, I was catching up but mentally, I was fading away.
Looking back, thankfully, I did not. I celebrated my birthday before travelling back to Kuching the following day. 2025 was also the year when my relationship ended. It was a good and lovely 19 months. Perhaps, it was just time.
November was the month I received my letter stating that I will receive my placement and I needed to report for duty on the 24th of November 2025. One thing for sure, I was sure to continue serving in Sarawak. The place? Unknown yet.
On the 18th of November, I found out that I would need to report to the Health Division of Bintulu on the 24th of November 2025.
Bintulu, that’s around 7 hours drive from Kuching. I didn’t have a place to stay nor a car and my things were all unpacked and I was just extremely busy. I packed whatever I could, shipped some boxes back home, those that I managed to do and on the 23rd of November, I flew to Bintulu.
Thankfully, the doctor-in-charge of the Health Division was kind enough to let me know which place or clinic that I would be placed at.
Yes, clinic setting. I did not apply for a clinic setting which so happened to be what many others in my batch longed for. Surprisingly, I got it!
Considering the state of my mental health, I was more than ecstatic to accept it.
2025 was also the year I moved and started working in a new place and also one that speaks a different dialect. I started doing oncalls as well and surprisingly, adapted very quickly into a General Practitioner’s setting as well as the new place. I also met another colleague who was previously my medical officer in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology when I was a House Officer and made new friends and acquaintances.
Overall, 2025 was a mixed of both good and bad experiences. I felt both the highs and also went through a period of low mood. New people entered my life, some stayed and some also left. Nevertheless, I am thankful for all the experiences I went through as well as the lessons learnt.
Hopefully, I can learn from the errors that I have made and grow, making me into a better person.
Thank you 2025. Now, it’s time to move on, to 2026.

12 Hours Shift – Counting Down My Hours Each Time At Work

How do you waste the most time every day?
At the time of writing this article, which was back in June 2025, I was going through my 6th Rotation of my Housemanship which is in the Department of Emergency and Trauma. As a House Officer in the Emergency Department, we go by the 12-hours shift.
This meant, our shift is from:
In this department, they are strict in regards to adhering to a minimum of 60 hours per week in total. Thus, in a week, our schedule is as follows;
That is provided one has off-tagged of course.
Perhaps, it is the “last paper syndrome” that I was experiencing being in the 6th and final rotation, I would be counting down my hours each day at work. Thus, upon arrival at work, I would start my “12-hours countdown“ on my phone.
On slow days, I made it a point to go to toilet every hour, technically my so-called “hourly break” whereas on busy days, the toilet break is the only time I could take a break. This is followed by ensuring I have at least one meal per day during my shift.
Otherwise, the schedule in the emergency department is relatively better as compared to my previous rotations. Nevertheless, the tiredness is still there.
