Relationships that perfect a workplace

Last day at clinic today finally. Handed over my transponder, staff card, badge, keys, etc.

I was given a wedding invitation card by my “Godmum” for her son’s wedding on Feb 12th. And she kissed me! It was like hugs and kisses happening at Level 2 right smack in the consultation rooms. Promising them if I get married and get pregnant, I will go back to them for antenatal check ups, baby immunizations, etc.

Got a book from one of my staff. She told me that having a “boss” & colleague who’s a Christ believer makes a lot of difference.

Not forgetting a gift from the whole clinic. Man… Never in my life would I have ever thought I will get diamond necklace from anybody other than my mum. And so, when my colleague gave it to me, I asked her “Hey! You guys marrying me off huh?” Hee…! Trying to make jokes out of a solemn situation la... I was holding my tears back really. But when they gave me the handmade card, I think I got a tad teary while reading it. (I LOVE handmade cards)

“May God guidance be with you in all your future undertakings”
“Dear Sandra, God bless & take care”
“Dear Sandra, all the best for your future & stay happy and pretty always (“,)”
“Be joyful always”
“Blessed are they whose ways are blameless,…… Ps 119:1”
“All the best!”
“My dear god daughter, may God bless you.”
“To you”
“Best wishes!”
“Thanks for all helping me with IT. Goodbye and good luck to your new career!”
“Wishing all the best in your future endeavors”
“Forget me not!”
“May you have a great future! God bless you! Phil 2:13”
“May the Lord’s countenance shine upon you always!”
“祝你梦想成真”
“All the best to you in whatever you do! Keep in touch!”



After all that, I had a chat with my colleague. We both agree that our job “sucks” cause there is no job scope and too many reporting heads. But one thing that makes a whole lot of difference is the people.

Again, Relationships is what matters most.

After all the big hoo-ha at work, had a chat with a personal friend. And we started to reminisce how much I have “grown” through this job. He spoke my mind – This job was no longer a job but a ministry. A place where I learn LOTS of skills and a place where I learn more about myself.

Even right now as I am stepping into a new environment, I am re-learning myself again. I am bruising again & I blundder again. But I will keep learning and I will keep the faith!
