It's a small country afterall
had been running ard different departsment on Thur and Friday. Was busy akin charge of photoshoot for the new ckinic 's website.
Even with my fellow colleagues' help, it was not easy coordinating. Doctors who are orginally cheduled were delay by other matters. Also, it's not easy to gather the nurses and other staff for photoshot as they have to serve patients too.
Not to mention that it was difficult was to find "calaflaire" (did i spell corecly>). We cant get patients to be in the pictures as we will need their consent first. Was told that the common practice was to get own staff to act as patients.
However , Many of them are "pan-tang". So it ended up that my colleagues and I have to " act" in many scenes.
One interesting thing happened though, which I have to say again: Singapore is such as small country.
The doctor who I am working together with for this website, grabbed her bf (who happened to be meeting her then) to act as a patient for one of our scene. And the photographer knew him too. (the funny thing was that the photographer just came out from the treatment room and saw him sitting at the waiting area, thought that he is a patient and asked "what are u doing here?")
As they talk about wake boarding, then it dawned on me that I had seen the doctor's bf before.
3 yrs ago .
when my ex-colleagues (SPH gang) and I went for wakeboarding.
Asked him if he is a wakeboarding instructor and he confirmed my suspicion.
and his (photographer's) assistant , overheard our conversation, mentioned abt someone.. and found out they have some common friends.
What more can I say?!!
And as if such coincidences aren't enough, I received as sms from "The Ex" in the midst of my photoshoot on Friday morning, saying the he was attending a course then and seated in the same table as with my ex-manager. Said that found her familiar and later he remembered that I had pointed her out to him when we were touring my previous office during our orientation.

I regret not checking on my friend earlier when i sense something was amiss. And when I remembered to sms her on Friday night, was shocked to receive her reply that she was hospitalised due to slipped disc since last Sat and will need to undergo an operation on next Tue.
As her why her operation was so many days away and she replied that the doctor had went overseas for a few days. (btw she is not staying at the hospital I am working at). I couldn't help thinking that shouldn't arrangement be made for other doctor to operate on her rather that let her lie in bed for so many days, enduring the pain?
She din want us to worry hence did not tell us her ward number, though I manage to guess the hospital she is staying at. Well, I have my ways, it is not difficult to check it out since I know her name as in NRIC and her birthdate.
Looking at visiting her on Monday or tomorrow... have to wait for our common friend to decide.
