Thank you 2025 for the good time too.

D先生说time flies。

我说年头我还在准备college interview。很快我就fully immersed into the training。来了新环境，需要适应的有很多，但都一切顺利。一切顺利，是因为遇到kind peers，也因为我去年有了一年PHO inpatient experience, clinical work本身不太需要适应，只需要适应new system and having an intern。记得当初让我很开心的是，我一和他见面就知道了他是个好人的consultant。

工作挺好挺开心。很主要是因为遇到好老板，我也很喜欢，很欣赏的老板。我今年也把很多心思都花在工作上。我做了很多CBDs（起初纯粹为了fulfill EPA，年尾觉得我从中也学习了很多，也因为老板每次和我认真讨论，让我有所学习）。下班也在写case formulation，和plan着我的EPA。

去年尾开始看房，看到今年3月买房成功。年中几个月都在忙房子的事情。我很多事情都不是很懂，这种时候很感激神队友。

今年我们还是LDR。但今年好多了。距离只差开车1小时。他租了2 bedroom townhouse，后来我们买房了，我也开始有属于自己的空间。

有了自己的空间，quality of life和inner peace提升很多。我果然还是个hypersensitive的人。

每次上班听人说什么weekend plan。我和D先生的周末都很简单。Lunch and grocery shopping都会花了大半天。以前在塔州比较常travel，那时没有太多现实barrier and burden。来到了QLD才真实知道塔州的美丽。

但是我挺喜欢黄金海岸。虽然塔州还是最美丽和平静的地方，还有我们都想念的hursey seafood。挺喜欢黄金海岸，我们都喜欢小城市，喜欢这里去哪都方面，也有不错的亚洲食物。我喜欢海边，但不像身边的白人是真的很beach person，可能这点对我不太relevant。但还是喜欢可以看海的感觉。

虽然不是每天都是happy day，但今年是很开心的一年。

工作很开心（谢谢我的好老板），学习很 fulfilling，虽然常常心里还是有anxiety。

生活很平静，爱情也是，和甜甜的。

也好像是我成熟的记忆里，最幸福的一年。

29岁，很多事情都可以自己决定和自己扛了。

谢谢我的际遇，让我可以过到想要的生活。

回想teenage and uni years觉得当初不容易（也是因为有人翻起我2016的blog post 我看见自己曾经绝望的文字）。

但是 我们都会长大。然后跟从前的自己说，life is okay. You are okay.

The last time.

Dear R,

I have been well. I have been thinking about my interviewing skills after my OCA with you. I was thinking maybe I have done it the wrong way all the while, in the community, but my patients must have been forgiving. I tried slightly different way in taking history. I did OCA with Sam (because I run into him every day). I joined Hugh's reviews because my Weds morning lectures were put on paused for the holidays. It was good. He will take developmental history every time. 

CCT has been a good learning experience for me. I think an inpatient and a CCT term this year is a good combination for me. Although it was not what I expected initially, I was overwhelmed by the flooding script jobs and having to work with many people and the frequent interruption of my work. I had to get used to it, and I found out that everyone is lovely and kind. I am glad I have learned to see patients in the clinic, to think about the plans; and when I discussed patients with consultant (especially with Sanop in the initial phase, I discussed many pts with him) I learned something too.  

Working with different consultants in Red Team is a kind of learning as well. Hugh is easy going. I know more Red patients. Sometimes in Case Review I needed to contribute to the discussion, because he didn't know the patients. He often agreed with my plans. It made me feel that I have learned something, and I can work in CCT competently. 

I rarely had direct clinical time with you. I did not see many Yellow patients either. But I have learned from weekly supervision with you, surprisingly they are helpful in my day to day work.

This term has exposed me for the first time the clinical world outside the hospital- the ward and the ED. I am glad I had this rotation, although many people have told me that it was not designed for stage 1 trainees. I think I have managed it well. I became less obsessive or ruminative about the patients whom I have seen after many weeks. I learned to enjoy it halfway; I very slowly learned the essence of it. 

Although I am going ahead (of course) with my planned exit in January, my 1 week of night shifts and 3 weeks of leaves. I thought I need some time off, I better pick the best time. I always dread the moment of returning to CCT from a week of night shifts to piling scripts jobs, MHRT reports and emails to read. And I have dreaded the workplace after you left. 

But I am doing okay. Afterhours shifts still will stress me out. And heading into a new rotation and unknown still will give me anxiety rather than excitement. I will be fine. 

I have almost forgotten that January this year, I was still stressing about the college interview. Now I am at the end of my Stage 1. I have learned and grown unknowingly, in this one year. 

Thank you for the good time.

And happy new year.

继续日韩的一年。
R问过我喜欢看什么书。我说喜欢日韩书，因为文字和故事简单。
有时读了太多，其实故事确切在说什么，转头就忘了。
好像只是纯粹喜欢阅读时那个moment。
放工吃饭时读的书。

今年读过的都挺好，毕竟都是热门书。
不热门都不会被翻译成英文。

最喜欢<To the Moon>

"This was my twenty-ninth year on this planet, but each year I still experienced something for the first time."

你知道我不舍 你知道我在意 你知道我会想念你

我比我想象中的还难过

走到这里 我更加明白了 你的boundaries 是对我好。

因为你明明也有感情。

你带我走过inpatient。

你帮我transition into CCT, practically and intellectually。

我当然会想念你。

但我要怎样move on。

最后一天 你帮我切蛋糕给大家。

最后一天 离别的客套话我们都没说。

你如常和我说再见。你站在我的office门边，叫我的名字说再见。我看着你笑了，不是礼貌的那种微笑。你也笑了，和我带着同样情绪地看着我笑。

我们都知道，这是最后一次。

沉默几秒后，你轻轻说it's nice working with you。我点头。我心里真的很喜欢，我们一起工作的时光，真的很喜欢。

你说good luck。每次我安静的时候，你都负责打破沉默。我说you too，真诚地，你也看见。

然后你对Anna也说good luck。然后你走去和其他人打招呼和说good luck。然后你离开了SHP，那个你问我知不知道停车场在哪里，那个你带着我和medical director and clinical director打招呼，那个你教我如何run clozapine and CCT clinic的地方。

我们都有各自的路要走。每次相遇的结局是给对方祝福。

谢谢你曾经来过并且认真地停留，点亮了我的2025年，点缀了我的29岁。

这一年，遇见你，我好幸运，好幸运。
