Work has been extremely demanding lately.
I cannot take it already.
I need SPACE, AIR and TIMEOUT!

Let me breathe please....

What is the purpose of life?
This sounds like the beginning of a pressimistic write up.
But no la, it is not going to be the case.
I am the so called post 65 generation.
As I get older, this question of what is the purpose of life seems to pop up on my mind more often than not. Maybe it is because i have spent too much time in work. My work is rather heavy going as a senior executive in a hospital. A lot of concerned colleagues and friends are wondering how do i cope. Well, just do lor. As the youngest senior executive, i am probably paid the least and salary amount diluted with large number of hours that i have put in work.
But seriously, work is merely to provide food, shelter and maybe security (in terms of finances).
Why work so hard??
On the other hand, if one don't carve out a career in her 20s and 30s, one will really get no where when she is 40 or so, especially in this highly competitive city. And the worst part is to get rejected when one seeks out jobs enuthsiastically, and experienced the dejecting feelings. This is how mean this society can be.
I must confess that i do not know a lot of things, and i hope to read and travel more, but sometimes time and money are limiting factors.
Anyway, whatever it is, a person don't have many decades in this earthy world, breathing in the oxygen and consuming the earthy resources. Make good use of the time that i am being allocated - do good for others, treat myself better.
Don't complain anymore. Life itself is a irony at times. But live a life without regrets.

Allergy test
Friends who know me will know that i am allergic to alcohol (yes, alcohol - i will get swollen body from head to toe). I leave u to imagine how i look like.
Today I went for an allergy test trial. It is a new service that i have started, so i volunteered to be tested to give the team my support and also let the nurse fine-tune her skills. Partly also to test out if i am really really allergic to alcohol (this sad fact that i have kind of accepted).
At the end, the allergy test trial is only to test out whether one is allergic to any environmental agents, and unable to test whether one is allergic to alcohol. Knowing this, yes, i was a bit disappointed but still went ahead with it to fulfill my initial intentions.
I am glad to have done so, because my dear nurse really need to polish up her skills leh. Hopefully the test marks will be gone by tomorrow (if not, my dress code is long sleeves tomorrow for sure)
You may ask me what have i got to gain from this?? So silly to be tested.
Well, now i know i am not allergic to dust, weed, wool etc lor.
Any my dear nurse knows that she needs to be more gentle with her handstroke.
But most importantly, I just hope our patients will benefit from availability of this new service.
I will be happy then.
Cheers.

simple lifestyle
In the midst of hectic lifestyle from monday to friday, the only time that one could possibly breathe a bit is probably on friday evening and weekend...
Today is a good sunday. My student and myself decided to bake a buttercake for the day. She has never baked a cake before, and i could see the excitement in her eyes. Decided to made her the 'instructor' for the day.. and listen to her instructions.
When I saw how she carefully measuring out the 60g of butter, 190ml of milk, greasing the baking pan, and mixing the mixture, i could see that she is enjoying what she is doing. When she saw that the cake is ready, i could see the happiness in her eyes. I am happy to have made her day :)
It is really good to take a break from routine, and just set off to do something different and something that one enjoy. Baking is not my first love, but it is certainly therapeutic. Hopefully i can learn how to make pastries one of these days.
