Wednesday, September 07, 2011Hello everyone!I'm finally updating after my official start of adult life. It's been 45 days since I first started working and... well, I wouldn't say this is what I had in mind when I first accepted the job. During the first few weeks, there were many a time I was so free I was literally doing nothing. Then chatting with my Uncle over 1 weekend set me thinking of where I want to go in future and if the prospects this job will bring. Furthermore, this place is really really far from home. It takes me at least an hour and a half to get home everyday. I mean my dad alights me off at NUS in the morning for now, but what happens when we have to sell the car and when he retires? However, the work environment here is wonderful - colleagues are really nice, welfare from the company is not bad (we get like 3 buffets for a 4-hour training! Just where to find this kinda welfare right?!) So that week was really tormenting for me. I kept thinking what was the right course of action I should take. Should I start looking out for new jobs? But it hasn't even been a month at that time! After much advice from my friends and a whole lot of internal debate within myself, I decided I should give it a few more months before deciding whether or not to call it quits. After 1 month plus, I would say I've learnt more things, although very specific but at least I'm learning more about the education system in the healthcare industry, doing slightly more stuff now, although still very very administrative, but I guess that's all part of learning to move on to something bigger. In here, there are so many jargons and rules and regulations it really take time and effort to learn them. They can't be studied off a book cause its the new queries and issues that leads you to realise the numerous stuff you don't know about. Its really only sitting through those meetings and addressing those issues will I learn more. In conclusion, I told myself I have to be patient and wait and slowly learn more. It isn't exactly that WOAH in terms of prospects, but I realise everyone here works towards a certain goal that I personally believe in and that's for the betterment of better healthcare. After those visits to the hospitals and time spent on doctor visits, I firmly believe in the need for quality healthcare for our society. Hopefully with this belief, it will pull me through to something I would never have expect. =) Okay! Done with the updates! Now, having received my first pay just last week or so, I've been slowly realizing part of my many goals in life and that is... to finally be able to give my parents and grandparents allowance and treat my loved ones with my own $$!!! =D So super happy when I saw how happy my grandparents were when I first gave them some $$. SO were my parents! =D Really felt very good. It felt awesome when I treated my maternal grandparents and uncle's family during Hari Raya Puasa. We didn't go anywhere expensive, just somewhere near their place called Happy Seafood Kampong at Tagore Lane. Don't have photos with me now but will add some in here one I have them! =D Next treat is today to my Nanny and her family. This family brought me up when I was young and my jie has showered me with gifts and numerous treats ever since. I'm so glad I'm finally able to foot the bill for once. =) Looking forward max to tonight! wheeee.... Other than that, I've got a few more treats upcoming, will update them as they pass! Meanwhile, take care everybody! *HUGZ* |
