bring on the chapati!

I think I’ll slap myself for posting this pictures when I reach India.

So, exactly one week to go! After so many stories, facebook pictures, updates, statuses about the land of India, I’m no longer wishing for time to slow down. Seven more days to seeing India through my own eyes, and starting a brand new chapter. Sure I don’t know what to expect, and there are so many things uncertain, but I want to trust God for what I cannot see, for each step of the way.

I am still confident of this:  I will see the goodness of the LORD  in the land of the living. –Psalms 27:13

So what I can say now is…

Bring on the chapati!

four three four

 

Four different university placements,

Three different places in India,

Four different departure dates.

To Ms Lynthia Wong my super slimmed-down ex-roommate, I know you’ll be just fine in India. Stay strong in the Lord and have fun shopping in Mangalore! I know you’ll be one super hyper bubbly dentist.

Thinking back, its funny, our frantic countdown of A2 to finish, our speculations of what India would be like, how our university placements would turn out. All our memories, too many to record, too unique to describe, and too racist to verbalise here, I’ll remember with a smile.

:)

and many an evil chuckle.

:p

19 more days,

grasping at time

to soak up Malaysia

Incredible India, a paradox

When I think of India, there’s always this sense of intrigue to it, a whiff of mystery, a dash of the unknown. Everything associated to this exotic country seems just so different.

After two years of knowing one day I would go this place, to study and live for the entirety of my university life, its finally just a little less than a month away.

No doubt I would be more gungho in excitement and less worried if I were going somewhere else *cue European country*, nevertheless at this stage I wouldn’t choose to trade countries. I am grateful to God for this scholarship, this chance to study medicine in a country lauded by many for this particular field.

In all honesty, my cup of feelings is a mixture of everything. I look forward to it and yet I dread it. I’m reluctant to go and yet I’m willing. I’m afraid to leave the comfort of home yet I know its time to be independent. I’m rearing to start studying medicine and yet I worry. I do not want to leave Malaysia and yet I want to. I want to be a doctor and yet I’m afraid to.

I’m a paradox.
