It's 7.41pm right now.. and I am in IHUB office in Jurong doing some stuff. I know it's been quite some time since I updated the blog so I wanna apologize to all the avid readers out there (if there's any.. ahahhaa).
Just came back from signing the discharge for the accident form that I was involved in a few months ago. So now trying to do up some work. Anyway.. I wanna congratulate a few students for a few shows well done during this June period. Thank you Steve, Kah Leong, Jemie, Weiming and Lovynn for the FAME show. And thank you Sabrina and Simran for the Kids' World Prince and Princess show. Though I personally did not go down to watch the 2nd show, I received good reviews from the organiser.
Wanna welcome Clare back from her trip in Finland. Hope she had a great time there. Still waiting for xiaozhi to come back from Yellowstone though. Heard that she ran into some problems with the park rangers over there. Dunno what's going on. Evreyone is going on holidays!! And I haven even get the time to sit down to arrange my trip to Canada. Hahahaha...
Alright.. Shall try to update my blog again VERY SOON. Cos I gotta rush for a meeting now at Suntec. Will let you all know the details of that. It's obviously exciting stuff!! =) Take care all of you.
Love

Cough Cough..
Sick for the past 4 days. Couldnt teach or rather could not even step out of the house!! But after going to the doctor, at least I learnt something out of this illness. It all started with me having this horrendous sore throat. After that, fever set in. Usually, I try to will my illness away. (Dont try if your illness is really serious. =P) But the fever was bad so I had no choice but to pay my dear doctor a visit.
As usual, the wait is very long. But I always insist on coming to see this doctor. The wait is long because everyone comes to see him. And he takes his time with every patient to make sure everything is thoroughly checked. He does explainations as well, to make sure the patients understand their illnesses and knows what can be done to lower the chances of a reoccurance. Everytime I come to visit him, I learn something new. I think it's important because you would want to be more responsible to your own body in the future.
He also taught me lots of valuable lessons indirectly. It has been 5 years since he ever had a proper holiday. He works from Monday to Sunday and yes, Public holidays as well. Consultations fees are reasonable and he do not mark up the prescribed drugs by a crazy margin like what other doctors do. So I did ask him on one particular visit why he set this clinic in this particular way where he would earn less and have minimal rest. What I heard touch me. He said he wants to be here for every patient. And he loves to be able to help his patients fight their illnesses. Not for fame nor fortune. Just what a doctor is supposed to do. Save lives.
And of course, I fully understand. I set up The Art of Music and model it closely to what he has done. I am a vocal teacher. My job is to bring up the singing abilities of all my students. Yes, that's my job. Not for fame nor fortune.
The visit 4 days ago actually gave me the chance to know that as an adult, if we have a throat infection, usually we would not get fever like kids do. Because our immune system is stronger. But if we do develop a fever like I did 4 days ago, then it meant that the immune system has lost the plot. Yes.. too weak to do anything. Maybe I was too stressed. He did asked me to go for a short holiday. And I was planning to go to Canada. Hahhaa... Maybe I should take his advice and go for a fortnight? But I would miss all my students... hahahaahh.. and that's the truth.
I am feeling better now. Still coughing but at least I am able to step into The Art of Music for the first time in 4 days. Do take care of yourselves. The weather's not too good as well. And drink more water!! =)
