Goat Xi Fa Cai

I noticed that the traffic to work today was almost non-existent. The city dwellers had taken off and the ward had been quiet.

Everyone was in jovial mood walking around the hospital, and it was a good thing that I cancelled this afternoon’s clinic. I could just go with the flow, taking things easy while waiting for the holiday to start.

Would be in town though as my colleagues would be taking some time off for the New Year. Hopefully things won’t be too hectic. Might have some time to have a good walk in town sans traffic with my camera on tow.

So, to all my Chinese friends and those celebrating, have a Happy and Prosperous New Year. Goat Xi Fa Cai!

Doctor's Day

I didn't even know that such day existed. And for some reason, SJMC celebrated the Doctor's day last week, which brought suspicion to everybody.

We were celebrated with a nice lunch, plus everybody were given a box of chocolate. Not just any chocolate, but Royce, Idlan's favourite, which he gobbled down in one sitting. The whole box!

I also recieved a nice gift by my ward staff. The Day Care gave me a nice card and a scrumptious cupcake. Suspicion aside, it was quite a nice gesture.

So, Happy Doctor's Day to all my colleagues ...

Pledge Tree

Have you made your pledge yet?

Yesterday, we celebrated the World Cancer Day at Subang, but unfortunately I was stuck in clinic all morning and was not able to attend. A couple of my patients who attended actually texted me but I was just too pushed for time.

As part of the event, they had a show by the cancer survivors as well as information booths and health screening, the usual stuff.

And what caught my eye was this pledge tree. Need to have another look tomorrow as I wasn't clear what the deal was about ....
