It's a been a while since i've tried to record my life:
I turned 30 years old in April.
I finished my medical residency. Yay! No more having to explain "i am a doctor...but..." BUT NOTHING! haha.
I moved back home with my parents. Okay i didn't expect that either but whatever. I guess i am a doctor but not a rich doctor. sigh.
It was a good year. I started with heartbreak, blew away $3000 on an ex, decided to blow away some more money by flying to bangkok with no preparations, got lost and hungry and scammed, and then met a beautiful girl who told me the world wasn't so bad after all. I went back to work and spent the rest of the time split between partying and facebooking. I dated but never seriously. Girls kept getting added to my phone. There were nights when i texted and three girls all came at the same time. My friends thought i was playing Three's Company.
I got serious at times but not often. I went back to China but not the hometown or anywhere I had relatives. Went to Shanghai with my friend Ken, got lost and hungry, and then celebrated my birthday with a group of expats i never met before. Went to Beijing, got lost and hungry, and finally got to meet Erica.
I came home and my younger cousin Gee got married. Damn it. The first cousin younger than me to get married, and next year there will be another, and then more and more. I almost had a girlfriend but that didn't last more than 2 weeks. I knew in the back of my mind that my time in new york city was almost up and i didn't want another long distance relationship.
The times i was serious i decided i wanted to pursue a fellowship in kidney disease. I flew back and forth around the country to interview for it, i made up my mind i wanted to stay in new york city at that time. But NYU didn't want me so instead i'm moving to los angeles. But i have a year before i start my fellowship! Which brings me back to why i moved back with my parents.
i left new york but not before i finally got to enjoy it.
