Relocating….

Moving to a new place used to be exciting yet nervous when I was younger.

I thought I could have adapted faster considering I am 30+ now but the contrary is I actually do miss home. Kuala Lumpur is a busy city, a little disorganised and always jam jam and jam. Driving every other weekend on the N-S highway is another achievement unlocked. I was initially posted to a hospital with Vitreoretinal services (yay VR) but was eventually transferred to HKL for the next two years.

Park N’ Ride

I will be moving to somewhere near HKL (opposite to be specific) next month but for the month being, I have been travelling via MRT to HKL. A new Putrajaya line has been built and it’s such a commendable project. I could drive to the Park N’ Ride MRT early in the morning, park at the lady’s level and then walk through brightly lit-ed area to the MRT and reach MRT HKL station in 20 minutes time. Not sure if I use the train too early but it’s obviously unterutilised and I have no problems having a seat every morning. It’s also super convenient to the public who needs to go for their appointment in clinic. List of Park N’ Ride MRT stations can be found here (not sure if the list is updated) https://www.mymrt.com.my/projects/travel-with-mrt/park-n-ride/#1632979437269-8924293d-14a2

The Park N’ Ride service charges a flat rate of RM4.30 daily if we use the same card to tap onto the mrt. Kudos to the gomen in coming up with ways to counter traffic congestion. And I use the MY50 unlimited travel pass (https://myrapid.com.my/our-products/my50/) which allows me to have access to unlimited rides on all public transport services operated by Prasarana for 30 days of consecutive unlimited rides.

As I enter my third year of ophthalmology training, I feel more responsibility and apprehension rendering me super wary and careful. So I reckon it’s high time that I rise up to the greater responsibility endowed and be more knowledgeable and professional when seeing patients. 🙂

I also hope to be more active in journaling my training days and gosh, I have to think about oral exams again gee.
