I recently celebrated my 33rd birthday, a day after my final exam to complete my training.

The exam date was given at random, but it was for the week of my birthday. I was expecting it to be on my birthday… Because ever since I’m a child EXAMS ALWAYS FALLS ON MY BIRTHDAY 😭😭😭 #Octoberbaby

Luckily it wasn’t, and I took the rest of the week off to celebrate my birthday. I mean honestly I’m not going to go work after an exhausting exam AS WELL AS MY BIRTHDAY! 🎂🎉 The exam went well, thanks for asking all of you! Of course I wouldn’t know the results but I’m optimistic… I mean it can’t be that bad right? 🤞

I planned my birthday well I think 😂 no one else is going to plan it for me at this geriatric age! So I called my best friend IO out. She’s a surgeon and was coincidentally on her research week. We had a really nice meal at Chaiwala, followed by a nice Thai massage. 💆 We had such a good fun!! The massage was so worth it. I wonder why I didn’t treat myself earlier!!!

The masseuse asked me what have I done to my back— because it was SO SUPER STIFF. 😂 I didn’t do anything though… I think it’s all the housework and manual labour at home. I don’t go gym and my job is pretty much sedentary. She then go up my shoulder and was again shocked at the amount of knots I have. I FELT SO SOFT AND WOBBLY AFTER THE MASSAGE!!

Seriously if you haven’t gone for a massage before, it’s time to try! Don’t go to the British one though… They don’t really do much. It’s like they are just wiping your body with essential oil 😂😂😂😂

My sister Q wanted to make me our family traditional birthday dinner but Mojuju didn’t get the grocery in time so we had to eat out. The restaurant’s standard really dropped though. Not sure what happened. The chef must be in bad mood 😂😂😂

Everyone at work was so nice to me when I came back fro my leave. ❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰 I’m honestly so so lucky to be so loved everywhere I work in. I hope my new workplace next year will also be the same 😞😞😞. Honestly, I’m already dreading leaving the practice after my contract ends. They have been so supportive throughout difficult times. They helped restore my self confidence and made me realise the importance of putting myself first.

Only a happy mother can raise happy children.💞

And only a well doctor can help their patients. 🔥
