Catching Up

Growing up is really tricky.

Even for our friendship’s life.

After graduating and intern/exchange I realized that catching up with my friends is not as easy as it was. Before I can always see them every other week and it was easy to arrange a 4-hours-girl-talk session where we joked, laughed and shared our stories. These days it was a bit challenging. As a talk-active, social person that I am meeting my friend could not be done within just 30 minutes. I turned hyperactive and will talk for the least 2 hours which I now found to be challenging to do during weekday and sometimes during weekend too! With everyone now attending everyone else’s wedding during weekend quiet time of catching up should be scheduled beforehand. So here are some catch-ups that I don’t know why but feel like I need to post just so I won’t forget about.



My girls!!

First of all is…..with my two girls!! We are supposed to be five girls but one is now doing her internship and another one is an intern in Jakarta so it is only us three. I spent like 6 hours with them! We had nice dimsum buffet lunch, a whole lot talks about the future and all the jokes and watched coco after that. It is a good movie btw! I recommend it.



Second was with Disa I mean I know it was because both of us being the gak-bisa-diam human that we are so arranging our catch up sessions were not easy. We did actually spend like 6-7 hours in total but it does not seem even close to enough after her 3 months short course in Leiden. Girls *eyes rolling* our girl-talk session has no end, hasn’t it? Anyway I hope by this weekend we could spend some more time for batik-hunting. This picture was taken during our breakfast last Saturday and I have something really interesting that I want to write regarding Disa wait until she give me permission to do so!!

With Yufau! My baby that is now fiancée plus an internship doctor! I got to meet this strong woman also last Saturday and even we only spent time for an hour or so I am sure she will be doing just fine! Shooo happy to se her! But apparently I was not able to see her ring bhahaha

Well, growing up really pull us into different directions but even so I feel really grateful that we could make time for each other just to make sure that others are doing just fine. These catching ups become more pressuring especially because within the next 2 months I will do my internship and perhaps (I am not sure about this I might need a whole blog-post to write about) will not come back to live in Jogja. Having friends is great thing and meeting them is another but even so I hope that we could always squeeze our time for a short catching up session and this term is including those that I don’t mention here because it will take 10 pages or more to write a post about you all. Spending time with you guys even only for an hour or two can be such a mood booster that I hope we could stay friends like this for years and years to come!


So, have you met your friends lately and give them a hug?

I hope you have an amazing week!

The six months update (kind of)

Hi there,  It’s your R1-going-on-R2 here. HAHAHA. Dang.  I was looking at my phone wallpaper today, of Janik Sinner smiling from ear to ear, lifting the Australian Open trophy. The joy in his face was so pure, the excitement like he never imagined he would win a Grand Slam. Before it hit me, it was only six months ago. Yet, January and the beginning of this journey seem very distant. It feels like I have been here for at least a year and a half, yet the novelty and adapting keep happening. So, when the newest batch was getting welcomed, I couldn't help but think to myself, 'Really? That fast?' You see, the residency system relies on the continuity of knowledge passed through independent study, bedside teaching with attendings, and from senior residents to us, the juniors. But in all honesty, though the last six months have been packed for me (and except for the wittiness, the athletics, and the know-how), I am not sure I have enough clinical knowledge to pass on to these 1...

Grieving - Part 1: The upside down world

Background: Staring at a peeled-beige wall, waiting in an empty office for my dad’s death certificate.  Facing another heartbreaking moment because two weeks ago, it never crossed my mind that I’d be writing my father’s name on a paper declaring his death. Gritting my teeth as hard as I could to keep me from crying. Was it a successful method? I won’t answer. Has anyone ever told you that when you cry too much, your head, eyes, nose, and even salivary glands can hurt all at the same time? Well, they can. I don’t think I’ve cried this hard since elementary school. I’m the kind of person who usually observes my thoughts and feelings, thinking, “Huh? Interesting” and sitting with them for hours until they settle. Yet this time, grief swallowed me like a tsunami. Those thought-watching processes didn’t stand a chance. My father’s passing came as a shock. I won’t share the details of his death, but the news arrived on an ordinary day as I prepared for my ICCU shift and for a while, my w...
