Saturation...

Dear Diary,

Boy... Am I saturated... not sure if those things I diligently put into my head today will still be there when I have my exams on Wednesday this week. Nevertheless, today's off-day was kinda relaxing despite myself sitting in front of the TV, watching Rachael Ray and Martha Steward shows... thumping the calculator like no tomorrow... generating NPV, IRR, etc...

I still have to go to work tomorrow which is kinda sianz... and my colleague called me up to inform that I have to wear a coat and necktie to give a budget presentation at the hotel nearby. I have to be there at 8.15am! Can't they just do with a necktie and in our board-room??? Maybe start at 9am instead when most of us have snapped out of our morning zombiness? Haha...

Sometimes, I think about how different my job scope is compared to what I studied in the university. Not that I miss it very much but still... those memories of taking great strides into the push-door wards, feeling busy and enjoying that "tsk tsk" which every colleague seemed to make when they discuss IMRs and case files.... I miss that disinfectant smell in the hospital too, haha...

Actually, doing a little community service work with the elderly on certain Saturdays can be quite nice. Keeps me in touch with clinical practice and the act of caring. Quite touched that a priest told me that if any of the elderly needed medical fund assistance, I could request from the church. I told him I can just refer the disadvantaged patients to medical social workers in polyclinics. You would be surprised how many of these elderly who have lived more than I have ever lived x 2 - 3 times, are still consciously asking the meaning of life and the life that lies beyond.

That's the main aim of our Christian calling, isn't it? Caring for others and sharing the Gospel just like what our Lord Jesus would have done.

Alright, I give up waiting for the sky to clear. Will skip the evening run and head for the showers now! ;-)

Ciao!

God Bless,
Andrew
