new phase of life in 9 hrs' time!
in 9 hrs time marks my 1st official job in the marketplace! went to ttsh for body checkup and tour around the place to re-familarised myself with that place. everytime i go to a new surrounding, i made sure i recce the place first so that i know the place well enuf, this give me a sense of security in an unknown ground.
i went back to the care and counselling (the dept which i used to work as in TTSH 3 years back) and it was so nostalgic! Hanz (my mentor) is still around! and when he was talkin to ther patients, the words that he said sound so familiar to me! cz i almost repeated that to patients everytime everyday when they came in to enquire sth. but most of the ple in the dept have gone. the turnover rate for MSW (medical social worker) is really high as this is a super stress job. promised him to meet him up for lunch soon!
preparing myself mentally emotionally and physically for the new start tml. i just ironed 2 pencil skirts, 5 office pants, 6 office shirts (sweat sweat!). should be more than enuf for the week. got reminded that last time i used to iron my own primary school uniform since p3! i wore pinafore since pri sch to sec sch, so its extremely difficult to iron those pleats and everytime i have to countdown to the number of pleats left to iron (total of 6!). and now when im starting out to work, i iron my own office wear! -sense of achievment and independence!-
being an working adult means....

no more checking of gmail everyday for job openings!

and the list goes on and on...
and i wonder how am i still be able to cope with the 3-4 tuitions a week. there goes my weekday night and saturdays.
