-blow dust away-
yes, im back blogging!
have been real busy at work these few months at work, and my event just ended last fri. and it was a blast! =) glad that everything turn up well and it was well-received by the management, given all the nights of staying back late in office, breaking a record of leaving the office at 1130pm! but all was worth it =) as you can see fr my v happy pic at the end of the event below:
and one of my greatest breakthrough is to get my boss to do a jump shot together with me-->
it took me almost 3 months to plan for the 2 weeks campaign alongside with other of my projects! i love all my events projects!
i hope to pen this down as another milestone in my life, in fact probably the first milestone in my working life. I have been doing events projects here and there but i felt this one in particular is more impactful to me and the participants. it felt great when after the event people fr various dept call you, greet you along the corridor congratulating you for a good job done. COO and CEO thank us personally as well!
admist all these praises, all glory to Him. i know it's God who set me up. it has been my prayers since day 1 of work for God to show me open doors, allowing me to discover more of myself tru the good and the bad. and tru this project, i found what im good at, and what im not. i found out that i thrive most in an environment when there's freedom and liberty. Though senior colleagues' opinions are useful advices, but i find it hard to live up to that expectations set by past experiences. i love to create new things, not doing things repetitively the old ways. at the beginning of this project, there were people who say "last time not like that what" and pass me a thick booklet of how this has been done in the past, but the success of this project has proven old traditions might not always work out to be the best.
it's also a great opportunity for me to get to know my boss better. when the senior colleagues are not around for this event, it kinda forces me to interact and discuss things more directly and openly with boss, and that made me realise that it wasnt hard at all! one of memorable moments was that at the end of it, she wanted to take a pic with me and i got her to do a jump shot tgt! yea! also got to bond with the rest of the colleagues, helping one another to "clean one another's backside!"
this project also opened up opportunities for me to work with top management in the hospital. accompanying them to the grounds as they serve the roles as pharmacist, nurses etc and filming them for that one whole week! it was fun to see a more personal side of them, getting to see their uncertainties and the "real" side of them.
all in all, healthcare industry might not be the most prestigious and money-making industry, but it's definitely a place where people are more genuine and real. it's definitely a life-changing industry. The people here are always so ready to help, esp the nurses and back end staff. it's an industry which face life and death day in and day out, experiencing the reality of life so closely daily. working in a hospital definitely soften my heart. seeing the old, the crippled, the blind, the insane etc everyday in the hospital always bring me back to reality, bringing me back to a modest living. whenever i go to A&E and the wards, i will still feel a certain kinda of tug in my heart. every now and then when i see old people on public transport, somehow i would feel i wana go forward to hold them, give up for my seats for them, asked if they are lost etc. this is the impact of healthcare in my everyday living.
ask if im here to stay in TTSH or healthcare, i really duno. being apriased by management and getting closer to boss might invite unwanted gossips here and there, but i just have to have the reassurance that im not here to fight for recognition, but to excel in my best and it's God who gives the promotion. im not so much for the title nor the money. The only thing I know now is to just do my best here to test out my gifts and threshold before moving on to something greater that He has planned for me =)
