next step

just had a chat with Damit, the person whom I had relied most during my times in Brissie. listening to him seems to give me a wake-up call, cos it wasn't easy for him either. pity cos of his ward call yesterday, he only cud break fast (puasa) at 11pm -_-''' imagine your mobile non-stop ringing every 2-3 mins. lol. can't imagine myself dealing with a broad range of conditions & needing to act right on the spot.

aside frm this, he also gave me a few advices on a 'list to dos' b4 I set off for next year. let me see.. first of cos, I need to pass my IELTS. a 7 for all components. I'm registered to do one on 3rd of Sept. hope things go well.. then baruta I can apply for AHPRA, wch will allow my name to be registered on the Medical Practitioners' Board. a few things then follow... (i'll make a list).

1. Ielts ($280)
2. Ahpra ($330)
3. Working Visa ($265)
4. Health Insurance ($900)
5. Medical checkup- see if I need to do it again cos I already did it 6 months ago ($360)
6. contact Rocky to divert relevant paperwork via email (not by post) since I'm in Brunei
7. Get prescription and tax payroll no. from Rocky
8. Preference rotations & holiday for next year's schedule
9. Inform Moe & apply for airticket to Rocky (hopefully okay since no direct flight to Bris)
10. Inform Brisbane High Comm to renew my allowance =) and to claim all these expenses!!

Also.. hopefully I will have the motivation to study in next few months, to prepare myself for internship. I just want to thank God really if all goes well for me to work abroad. altgh it may seem ters commitment for me to buy a house & start a family, I think im just gonna conc on my work 1st =) I think with work alone, there's engh for me to handle. and just let life and cash flow as time goes` :)

I also want to thnk 1 person for being understanding. I hope to earn some money in 3 years time & build up my status so if I return and apply for govt housing quarters, it'll be easier to get a house. but we'll see. my first earnings will be in 5 months time. now truly said, I just have to enjoy myself to the max.

I <3 you.
