I forgot to node a daylog yesterday. Something significant happened yesterday.
Not only did I check my marks online at my university's website and confirmed that I passed!!! but I also received a nice big letter from Liverpool Hospital in Sydney addressed to Dr. Alex Tan ...
Oddly enough, I did not feel elated at this straight away. My mother was way happier than I was and was positively beaming as she came in, asking "Is there a Dr. Alex Tan in this house?", proudly carrying the big envelope for me.
Another new year next year. My first year working. Earning money for once and not living off my parents. I've pledged 20% of my income (I will probably change that to after tax income) to my parents last week. I've told them that if I did not send them as much money, I could afford a new Mercedes C Class car in Sydney (on finance, of course)... so I'm giving up a Mercedes for them.
On another note, I helped my mum make assam laksa today by chopping up bunga kantan (don't ask, I don't know its English name either), cucumber, peppermint leaves, one green chili and some onions. Now I vaguely know the ingredients for Penang laksa but not the right proportions (I didn't chop everything and I didn't watch the cooking, *sigh*) nor the right order of doing things ...
