Submission to the Cause

Have I not known, the value of pride. Little did I comprehend, the extend of one would do to protect his. In the face of own values and will, pride seems to matter more. Iโ€™m not sure how much I do though, never did ask myself that question, because in a way, I think Iโ€ฆ

Time goes on, but Love and Memories live on

Sitting in my office, staring at the busy room full with unfinished tasks and books, a feeling of nostalgia kicks in, making me write this in an early Monday morning. Another year, another first of January, another cycle of ordeal, another meaningless celebration, where most of us find the previous one unfulfilling, and hope forโ€ฆ

My Sons, This is For You Two

It has been awhile since the last post. Iโ€™ve been busy, really busy. Switching from being a clinician in the health ministry to being an academician in the education line does has its challenges. Compared to the routine of managing healthcare, now I have to think about how to teach, how to generate new knowledge,โ€ฆ

Reality Check- โ€œI know, thanks for the concern.โ€

Itโ€™s the same feeling all over again. 4 years, or is it 5 years ago? When I was tasked to be the platoon leader in a night ambush simulation operation during my Potential Officer Course, I told my teammates during the operation briefing: โ€œThe Dr. Thong you befriended or knew just before is not hereโ€ฆ

Joker: the mentally ill or evil? (A psychiatristโ€™s perspective)

My consultant psychiatrist mentor once told us in a meeting: โ€œThose who want to be a psychiatrist must watch the latest Joker movie!โ€ I couldnโ€™t agree more.

A Simple Wish

It’s been 2 months that I’m away. Sorry things got a bit bumpy, messy even. How I wish I could turn back time, to know the cost of my foolishness. Being away from you clouded my vision, made me lose sight of what is important, made me almost walk a path of destruction, where there’sโ€ฆ

I read back my novel. I miss you, grandpa.

Itโ€™s been awhile. While contemplating my options about my future, I read back the novel i wrote for you, hoping to find some clarity, maybe a wisdom that may have been forgotten within my memories of you. Grandpa, I have always look up to the sky whenever i faced with huge obstacles, may it beโ€ฆ

Finally, I see their grace in me

After 2 years of housemanship, and 4 years of training/ Medical officer routine, I have reached the part of my career where I can get my own parking spot- yes, itโ€™s a big perk. Try to find a place to park your car in any governmental hospital every morning, you will understand. โ€œWith bigger power,โ€ฆ

Time has passed since i written anything on the blog. I would say I got distracted from my usual creative self by many other major events occurred for the last few months.
