Fulfilling

Dear Diary,

Today capped an incredible day for me. =) Last night at about 9pm, while I was preparing to go home after work, I received an email from my manager to go for a advisory committee meeting at the College of Medicine Building the next day. Initially, I was a little reluctant… awww… if I go, I would have to look through some survey plan and give comments the next day… have to wake up early… it was plain troublesome. Then again, how can I disappoint my boss? Haha…

I woke up surprisingly early in this morning, and had breakfast with Dad and Mum. It had been a long time since I ate breakfast with them. Then I proceeded to Singapore General Hospital (SGH) to meet up with an ex-classmate and she bought me a drink… cool, haha… She looked a little demoralised. We had an hour chat in the Polar café, which basically was a ventilating session for both of us. I told her I would raise some of her concerns in the advisory meeting too. She then brought me to the College of Medicine Building where I signed in for a visitor pass.

I lumbered up the stairs with my huge sports bag and the guitar. When I found the meeting room, I entered and everyone in there froze for a second, thinking I went into the wrong room. I smiled and said that I was representing my company. They smiled back and the chief pharmacist asked everyone to introduce themselves so that I knew who they were. There were about just less than 10 of them. Everyone was some hospital pharmacy manager, retail pharmacy manager, HSA manager, head of PSS, NHG head… I introduced myself… just graduated from pre-registration training this year, hahaha…

Anyway, won’t elaborate too much here except they really treated me very nicely and I was like a little boy there. Everyone was at least more than a decade older than me. Then again, I just spoke out quite frequently… fearless, keke… I thought it was a superb session for me to bring up views that if I went through the proper channels… it may not even reach them! =) I sure hope the pharmacy profession will make good progression.

Went back to my pharmacy and did my usual work. Then come evening, the locum pharmacist gave me a huge piece of cake which she baked personally. How sweet of her. I attended my last guitar lesson just now and gave my instructor a supper treat…. What a fulfilling day indeed!

God Bless,

Andrew
