A New Beginning

Time passes so fast lately. I promised to blog upon confirmation, so though it's a bit late, here I am. During the 2 months of break, I spent time thinking about what I want to do and searched for what I want. Actually I didn't have much courage to pursue what I want, but Melvin pushed me to it, wanting me to wait till the right job came.

I looked through and applied for many jobs that may be what I may want to do. It's easy to get a job, but not easy to wait for the suitable one, because one gets stressed easily without income. In the end, I chanced upon a job in NHG to serve in Tan Tock Seng Hospital. The job requires at least 3 years exp in healthcare, and I didn't dare apply at first. Coz I got nil prior health care exp. But Melvin encouraged me to apply for it. I was always interested in health care, and hoped to pursue a career in it, but the opportunities weren't there before. So this time, I took the opportunity to apply for it.

I got this job through many coincidences and blessings. Before I went for the interview, I was offered another job, which I turned down. Heng ar.. lolx.. During the interview, there was a long queue of interviewees which made me really nervous. I was given an essay question when I reached, without being informed beforehand, and told to do it within 30 min. I completed within 15 minutes and was allowed into the interview room earlier, jumping queue, and was tested on my impromptu translation skill during the interview. Diaox. Luckily I passed with flying colours. I was told to be notified within a week if I got the job. During that week, I couldn't sleep. Finally, the phone call came, and hurray! I got it.

So, this is the first time I got a job which I wanted myself, and thought about it for a long long time. It is now my 2nd week, and god, it's really tiring. My job's always busy and on-the-go. Time passes in a blink, and sometimes I got so many tasks on hand I don't know what I'm doing, especially with all the abbreviations and medical terms that hospitals use. And I'm only given the easy jobs now, wait till I get the difficult ones. But at the same time, I find it really challenging and fulfilling. I go home everyday feeling satisfied and very TIRED. keke.. Actually a lot of my job scope is similar to what I did at TDL, but with much much more benefits. I get to see the sun when I end work, I get to spend time with my family and have dinner together, I get to enjoy my weekend, and I get paid more stably! The culture is also suitable for me to have a family, my future mother-in-law's in the health care sector so she takes care of me more now (She kept nagging at Melvin to not disturb me and let me rest more because my job is tiring), I get good medical benefits, I get to enjoy bonuses. Oh, and one really big coincidence and blessing is that my boss is also a vegetarian! Keke.. So... I'm well taken care of by the one up there. With everything in place, and Melvin's new job starting next mon, we prob can have a kid as soon as we get married le. Thank god~ ^_^

My Big Break

After some months of wait, many years of following, I've finally found what I want and heading towards it.

Wish me luck! I'll disclose more upon confirmation on Monday. Till then~ ^_^
