One of my friends asked me a question over facebook "office ppl do shift work?". The answer is yes!!

I have been involved in the triage duties for the last 2 weeks, overseeing all the stations for temperature screening and visitor registration. The hours are long, starts and ends at unearthly hours, and hardly have time for meal breaks.

I am largely ok for the duties, taking it as a form of "national duty".

There are lots of visitors who are anxious to see their loved ones. Some of them may lose their cool by our strict visitor management policy, which I can understand. Hope that the public can understand why we are so strict in restricting visitor number, now that we have our first case. There is also a possibility of no impact on public sentiments in another couple of days, especially the fatality rate of H1N1 (fortunately) does not seem to be critically threatening at the moment.

It has been slightly more than a year since the saddest moment of my life.
Whenever I go to the wards due to the nature of my work requirement, my Dad will come to my mind. I still remember the nights when I stayed by his side, together with William, when he was critically ill, and how helpless I was...

When I see visitors wanting to see their loved ones who are in critical conditions during my triage duties, I can fully understand how they feel.

Father 's Day is coming.
My dear Father, I wish you a Happy Father's Day. You are always on our minds.
