All back to last week, we knew that the posting will be out in the week, just have no idea which date will it be. Monday, tuesday passed. No one talked about it. Then on Tuesday night, friends message and wish us lucks for wednesday. At last, the long awaiting answer, almost there. I was in karaoke with my colleagues. Insomnia struck me. Slept at 1am, woke up at 5 something, prayed hard and mumbling on how much I wished to get back Penang with my roommate, till I fall back to sleep.
On Wednesday, I woke up and find myself looked like a walking zombie. When I opened the door into my 4 months long working place, my boss, colleagues looking at me with wondering looking. They said I looked like zombie, who doesn't sleep for ages, messy hair, eyes bag and dark circles.
I was the only prp that day. Which means, I'm busy. It's good, as I won't have extra time to worry about the posting, being pessimistic regarding the posting , being paranoid. Although I did check on the kkm portal once in awhile, to make sure I didn't miss out the list.
It was almost 5pm. The peak hour of the day. Staff nurses coming to collect medicine, asking for those medicines happened to 'not in place' they supposed to be in. Patients got discharged at this hour, busy verifying the slip to make sure the medicines are all prescribed in the correct doses, frequency and so on. Filling, labeling, counter checking and dispensing. After I cleared the crowd, look through my phone, and found out my friend said posting list was released. He got Penang.
I can feel the heat vaporizing, left only coldness especially on my palm, my fingers. Hand trembling, thinking whether I should check it on pc or phone. Without any hesitation, I click on kkm portal, found the list, and key in my ic number. With my finger trembled, I could not typed probably. Lucky thing was the portal actually did save it up, so I don't have to actually retype it. My mind was empty on that moment, anyhow the list is out, and I have to accept it. With lightning speed, I press on 'semak' button, and the answer revealed.
From all the message shown up, I saw the words "Pulau Pinang". Stunned for 5 seconds, stood up, and I started shouting to the top of my voice. In excitement. Then I rushed to my boss aka my friend, hugged her and shouted "I got Penang!". Everyone in the room, stunned. I went back to the place I stood, and started crying. I don't know why, and I don't know how to stop it as well. The tears just couldn't give me a break, they kept on rushing out. There were staff nurses, patients, bosses, ppf, looking at me. I just could not bother that much, I released all my stress, and tears of joy. Finally, I'm going home.
Called my mom, told my friends, and celebrations started as all 6 of us got our choices. At last, my wish came true. SY and I going back together. Last year, when she got Terengganu, and I haven't got mine, I told her to calm, maybe I will get the same place as her, I will accompany her there. I never know my words did came true. The next day I got my letter, the word Terengganu strike me. Well, she got shock as well. This year, I keep wishing we both can get back Penang together, and my wish got answered, we both got back Penang. We are lucky, although the first year we got a place that far from home, 7 hours drive to east coast, we got each other. Actually is three of us. We have friends, and we're close enough during Uni time.
During the one year plus in the east coast, we went to Kelantan, and Pahang as well. We explored the places that we will never go, if we didn't got the posting there in the first place. Now, we got back Penang together. Lucky enough, all of us got back our places. 3 of us, drove all the way from east coast to west coast, up to north. No one left behind. We met friend there, and she came back with us as well. Fate put us together, and treat us well.
Thanks for everything.
I'm glad I got there for the first year. I met a lots of awesome people, great friends and colleagues. Made lots of close friends as well. Everyone are so nice, and united. I learnt to be caring, concerning for others, and cooking as well. I actually enjoy taking care of others. Those younger brothers and sisters. Those are the precious memories that I will hold so deary.
Wish you guys to get back to your own hometown soon.
