Congratulations

Thanks to Allah Al-Mighty, my littler brother had successfully passed his June A-Level exams with flying colours. With that results, he is now able to enroll as a Medical student and ditched Biomedical at the Institute of Medicine, University Brunei Darussalam, and with God willing, in 6 years time my little brother will be a doctor, a profession which we never expected in our small family.

It is ironic but yet it is not suprisingly either, for him to choose medicine as his career. All his life, especially during his infant years, he had made good friends with doctors and nurses in Brunei and Singapore, and even made the First Ward at RIPAS Hospital as his secondary bome for nearly 3 years. For your information, my brother was diagnosed with Tracheal Stenosis, which basiically means the narrowing of his windpipes that can cause difficulties in breathing. Being an infant and also ashmatic, it was really a life-threatening situation during his early years in this world. Our life, especially my mom was very difficult during that time as she has to make sure that my brother is always in good health and able to live his life normally. Fortunately, as he grows older, his windpipe seems to grow also but he still has the side effects until this day.

I dedicate this blog to him, to show just how happy I am of his achievement. I know that it is still a long way to go, but whatever happens I still salute his determinations and the level of hard work that he did before his examinations, and it was something that my sister and I could not do during our school life. Good luck Md Ali, do your your best and hope you can be a successful doctor someday and the whole family are really proud of you.
