The Journey

assalamualaikum

in the name of Allah the Most Gracious the Most Merciful

My wife is with me at Banting now. We'll be staying here for the night. Tomorrow is a public holiday but the job demands my presence in the ward in the next 36 hours, minimum.

I need to thank her for making the sacrifices to come here often. She was on night shift last night, and had a decent 4 hour sleep before starting her engine to reach here. I can't ask for more. In the past 4-5 weeks, she has made most of the travels, while I am stuck in this cowboy town. Everyday is a routine, and the thing that excites me is the countdown to see each other every week.

My boss has been pushing me to sit for the exams to become a medical specialist. No denying that it is an ultimate dream that I need to achieve eventually. The path is straightforward, but full of obstacles. One needs to be determined and focused all the time. I suppose with frequent travels, life couldn't be more difficult. I wake up at 6 am everyday, and reach home at 7 pm. With very little time to spare at night, the long working hours will take its toll long before you realise.

I have started a little. My plan is to be on full throttle when wifey finally gets her transfer, so I can dedicate more time towards achieving what is required.

Sometimes, I realise I make too many excuses. Lol, sometimes?

May Allah pave the easiest way for me to be up on par with the great ones, one day. Amin.

till next time,
assalamualaikum
