Ups and Downs..

Its almost coming to 3 months of me not blogging. I remember I used to blog almost everyday in the past but ever since I started working in 2008, the entries from me reduced tremendously. Coming to 4 months of been a Medical Social Worker. Its not easy. I seriously appreciate the CC job a lot, the fun we used to have, the jokes, laughter, singings, etc... The current job requires me to face real life problems, problems that its not like 1 + 1 = 2. The job is so meaningful that I think I am stressing myself quite a far bit. I always wanted almost perfect care plan for patients, I mean, there are services out there which has lots of dam discrepancy, but I have that feeling of just applying all the services to the patient, to ensure that they have a smooth transition from hospital to home. You see, most of the patients that comes to the hospital I am working in are of rehab potentials and that's why I see a lot of stroke patient, knee replacement patient, hip fracture patient, amp...

Medical Social Worker

Started new job in St Luke's Hospital on 1st July 2013. Love this job alot. It has been 3 weeks already and everyday seems to just pass so fast. There are times where I work till I did not follow the timing and when I look at my watch, its like "Huh? 5pm already??" that feeling. This job gave me alot of insights and learning points. I would say it is quite a systematic way of doing work. Its like if this scheme they cannot apply, then maybe can try the other. Everything has a flow to it. There are pros and cons to these. I never believe in straight roads. I believe we sometimes do need to turn abit and be flexible. The job has its flexibility (I mean when it comes to helping patient) but the flexibility is limited. Its like I am given an area of 100sqm to do whatever I want, but I am restricted to only 100sqm, I cant expand another 50sqm so as to try or trial out stuff. Things are pretty fix. Love my colleagues. I have yet to really joke with them like how I used to d...

Its official!!

Tendered... Joining the new job on 1st July 2013. Hopefully everything will go smoothly and I will be able to achieve what I want. You see, I have a 10 year plan of what I would want to acheive. I have acheived one and that is to become a Medical Social Worker. I am glad I got this job and hopefully it leads me to the place of where I would wanna be. As of now, I would want to gain more experience in this line, build up my portfolio and then..... Lets see if it happens within 10 years of my plan. So eggcitied!!

The trip to Australia!

My first ever solo trip to overseas was really an awesome one!! A total of 9 days in Perth was really worth it. Day 1 (12 April 2013) Went to Changi Airport T3 alone. The feeling was great. Been able to rely on yourself to do everything was really an unforgettable experience. On the previous day, I did an online check-in and thus I am allowed to check-in an hour later than the previous time. Reached T3 at around 7.45am. Went straight to SIA online check-in counter and was shocked to see my backpack's weight was only 9kg! Went in to the duty-free right after gotten the boarding pass. That was the part where I started to get really high. Ordered BK's breakfast and seriously, IT PERKS MY HIGH MODE TO THE MAX after having that. While getting ready to take off, the stubborn me still did not switch my handphone mode to flight mode and thus I took pictures of my seat (3 seats all occupied all by myself) and the thrill of me in SQ plane. I also messaged my dearest lecturer to remind...

12 April to 21 April 2013

AUSSIE (PERTH), HERE I COME!

Surprised!! and of course shocked.

Was really surprised when I saw the Performance Bonus and Salary Increment letter. The initial calculation that I did to myself was only $1000++. After seeing the letter, I got a shocked that I got $2000++ (with pro-rated calculation somemore). I am seriously happy. Those who know me will know that I dont compare such figures like who get higher etc.. I believe this are extras and I am glad that I got that much. As my director was on MC today and tomorrow, my GCD went down to office, collected the letter and came back all the way from Kallang to just pass us the letter. When I saw him holding to a bag that seems heavy, I just smiled non stop to him.. HAHAHAHAH. It was really SMILING non stop.. Then it comes to the part where I giggled and laughed and smiled and giggled again.. The amount is not much, but its like... Its like the feeling of collecting a big red packet.. Anyways, I got a grading of C+. I am happy with such grading because based on my schoold results ah, I am always a C...

First Ever Credit Card

Yeah!! At the age of 27, at last, I have a very own credit card. When I saw the credit limit that was given to me, I was really literally high and happy for a moment, but after a short while, I realise that those aren't my money. I told my mum that I have a credit card, so as to give her the respect and allow her to control how I spend, which I seriously do not think I will shop or buy anything unnecessarily. I am a person who don't shop but if it comes to gadget, die lor.. Had a super dull and boring CNY. Gotten only 3 red packets for these entire CNY period. Its getting lesser and lesser because my grandparents are long gone. Chinese New Year is no longer a festive for me to enjoy. I mean, as every year goes by, between the months, I do hear news from my mum or dad on so and so has passed away.. During one of my uncle house visit (the only freaking one visit I have done throughout the entire CNY), I have seen how he aged so much. I was jokingly asking for his age, when he...
