Thank you Mao Mao.

This afternoon I felt really lousy. There was a lot of frustration and bitterness bottled in me. I texted mao (my gf) to tell her how I was feeling. Then she called me from Malaysia. When I heard her comforting voice, I just broke down...

She told me that in times like this, I have to be strong.
I have to stand up and continue to try.

She told me she does not mind where I end up,
that she would always be there to support me.

She told me that sometimes circumstances can be unfair,
but what matters is we accept the trial and face it bravely.
(at this point I remembered that she too, called me last year in tears when she was sent to Kelantan for her housemanship. De javu. She also cried like a baby, so now we both understand how each other felt)

She told me that it's people who have gone through trial,
that understand more about life and become stronger.

She told me that God has a purpose for me,
and He sees it fit to put me, amongst other people, through this trial.

Most importantly, she listens. And she loves. :)

Thank you mao mao. :) You are the only one who understands.
