GOODBYE NUH !!
Yesterday was my last day at NUH. Finally !! I've been waiting for this day to come..cant wait to leave NUH. Have worked there for 2.5 months.. very short time hor... but then its long to me..
I have this Happy-to-leave-yet-she-bu-de feeling especially towards the end when the clock striked 5pm as that marks the end of my journey @ NUH. And as i was checking in casenotes (thats my daily routine) at around 4 + pm, my colleagues came to me and gave me this bear...
And guess what ! Its not just a bear itself. It has a recorder inside and all of my colleagues came together and play something. " We Will Miss You Yiling !! " came out from the bear. Just press on the right arm of the bear and it will play.. actually when i saw them coming in i was quite puzzled why they all come looking for me at this time.. so! it was to give me that. I heard from my colleague that im the first temp staff they gave a pressie.. that aside, what touched me most was the effort, coming together to record their voices even though they were very busy. And i didnt expect that to come you see.... surprised and touched, i was rather speechless too haha, only kept on laughing...then one of my colleagues was so funny as she stared at me and asked me .........
After 10 mins..
Me: Yana, why you stare at me like this ?
Yana : *with a doubtful look* yiling, why u dint cry ar ?? "
HAHAs.. her qns was so funny la.. actually i was on the verge to la.. but managed to keep it within.
The clock strikes 5. The end.. as i walked to the clinic and thank everyone for their guidance and tolerance over the 2 months , many of my colleagues asked me to take care and be good (wait, am i very naughty??? ) Although its just a simple take care, but i can feel their concern and warmth for me, especially when some of my colleagues are quite senior already.And yes it seems exaggerating, but some of my colleagues had tears rolling in their eyes... gosh.. as we gave each other a hug, Yana dropped her tears! Gosh.. as i thought i can leave the place happily, in the end she made me dropped my tears too.. sob sob..
Argh so paiseh la... haha when my supervisor who guided me along throughout my work came to say goodbye with a hug, i dropped even more tears.. i think they just have this motherly feeling that made it irresistible to drop my tears...
This 2.5 months wasnt easy. Many complains from me u've read, many scoldings i've got from colleagues and even patients , umpteen times of harbouring the thought to quit, eventually i overcame everyone of them.. To me, its really a tough road to walk.. Looking at the past when i first joined NUH, i know nothing at all and everyday im get scoldings till i hate the job so so much. Learning everything from scratch, till now. It was that which made me realised healthcare line is really no easy feat. Its a level up the stress that other careers would face. I just have this undescribable feeling in me. I only know i learnt everything the hard way, through making very very serious mistakes and finding ways to solve it. I never thought i will make it till the end and im amazed and proud that i walked till the end. *claps*
My clinic manager said " You're still young, the outside world is still a challenge. In anything that you do, persevere and it will bring you success"
Argh so touched ... boohooohooo.. playing the recordings in the bear makes me smile.
I think even though life is hard there, i still think the experience i've gained is incomparable. Will cherish the things i've learnt, especially when i learnt them the hard way.
*pic on top : my daily routine, checking in casenotes which comes in 2 trolleys"
Now its time to rest and enjoy.
