I'll be honest. There were moments where I was like 'What did I get myself into...'.
Medical school is... to put simply, tough. And I'm only in my first semester! Whaaaaat.
Actually, comparing to my friends who are in other medical schools, I have to admit that Queen's is much easier than the others. The system and stuff. Huh, if I wanted to explain about Queen's medical system, we'll be here until tomorrow.

Whatever it is, here I am, with a presentation and an essay on stem cells that are both due on the same day.

Breathe Nabilah. Only 15 more days to Paris :)

New mummy essentials

I can't believe the last time I was here, I wrote about my graduation, and now I am writing about mummy essentials! I am now a junior doctor and a mother to a gorgeous 8 month old baby girl. Currently taking nine months off work to spend time with my baby and my loved ones and it has been absolutely wonderful!  Quite a lot of my friends are also new or expecting mums and it has been so lovely having people to share knowledge and experience with. So without further ado! Since my list of "newborn essentials" is quite extensive, I have divided it up to mummy's and baby's.  (Also, I am a fully breastfeeding mummy so a lot of these items will not apply to you if you are not planning to breastfeed) 1. Nursing pillow You will spend an incredible amount of time breastfeeding, especially in the early days. Find one that's firm so your baby is well-supported.  I got a simple U shaped pillow with a removable cover - it gets covered in spit up in no time lol. We also used

Our Forever.

Alhamdulillah. On Friday, the 21st of December, we tied the knot! We were high school sweethearts. We met when we were in Form 1. We became friends then later classmates. I had a huge crush on him in Form 2 (gatai naa). I pretended I didn't have an HB pencil to use for lukisan teknik so I could continuously borrow his. Oh young love HAHAH kalau anak aku macam ni, aku sepak. We started dating not long after and continued so until the end of school. And our story takes a break there. We went our separate ways after school ended and we barely kept in touch. We both met other people, and we never saw each other for 5 years. As fate would have it, we met again about a year and a half ago. We both thought the other wasn't single and just caught up as friends. And the rest were just a blur. I knew I fell for him again when we were driving around aimlessly in my car and I had to look away from his smile because I felt like my heart was about to burst. And I never wante

Graduation. Onwards and upwards.

Alhamdulillah. Just over two months ago, I graduated from med school. Something that I occasionally thought might not happen. This girl's a doctor! After two years of IB. Five years of medicine. Countless exams. I actually made it. And now, I've just entered my second month working as a junior doctor. I've struggled a lot through med school. My confidence has been knocked down time and time again, and towards the end of it, I honestly had close to zero confidence left. I was worried about my capabilities as a medical student, let alone a doctor. Alhamdulillah after a month working, I can confirm that how we do in med school doesn't correlate to how good a doctor we will be. I am slowly building back my confidence. I am so thankful for all the love and support that I've received from my family and friends. My mum and dad's prayers. And my husband. God, there were difficult days where I were at my lowest. He would always be there to help me get u
