Small Circle

There is something special about the Social Work profession.

It is NOT big.

Yupz.. Indeed, the social work circle in Singapore is rather small. In this line, there will be alot of telephone calls to make and alot of reports to conjure up. In that process, you get to speak to the different social workers, managers or any other significant figures.

It's a strange yet nice feeling I get each time I go for meetings. I went for a dialogue session at MCYS today and saw a few officers. When we went through one round of introduction, I went "Oh.. so it's you!" or "Ah.. I can finally put a face to the name I have known.."

Somehow, whenever I go for trainings or courses, I am always 90% confident that I will meet someone I know.

A strange but nice feeling. Something that I feel that I will never face in the Engineering field. At least, I am only speaking based on my previous experience in Chartered Semiconductor. Hmm.. come to think of it, I don't remember going for external courses! Heehee...

Oh yes.. I had a great gathering with my Chartered colleagues yesterday. Just a small gathering over Di's house. Best part of the whole session is Di's lovely daughter. Yes.. daughter.. NOT SON!! Many saw the photo and thought I was carrying a little boy... I found myself staring at her non stop. Whenever there is a chance, I will always "rush" to carry her. I am told that "I love to take joy in other people's pain." Hee.. Simply means that my friends take pains to deliver, I take joy in enjoying their fruits.. *smile*
