Moving into October
Weekends have become increasingly cathartic, without exception to this one. Celebrated Chelly's 22nd at Da Paolo at One Rochester, which is like a Dempsey replica, just less crowded. Sunday was spent in church, afternoon roast duck with SJ, and finished off with an awesome free Family Medicine Tutorial when I was helping out at the church clinic.

What a Good Friday
Wow an entire posting has gone by without me posting about it at all! If anything at all, Family Medicine has left me with a wondrous awe of my favourite Fam Med King Prof GLG and the many wonderful things that everyone has to say about him. Like the time he spent 2 hours from 8pm - 10pm post clinic hours to convince and explain to a GP friend the teaching curriculum though he already expressed disinterest in participating. (That GP eventually relented hehe) It also helps that he wear a singlet under his white long sleeved shirt all the time. ;)
Ashamedly, the first time I ever stepped into a Polyclinic was during this posting, and I'm glad I did. Though travelling to Pasir Ris every morning was a real dread, it was made better with KQ's daily chauffeuring and the things that went on at the clinic. Dr Tan NC, director of the polyclinic, really impressed me with his determination to make things change for the better. Scheduled appointments, automated registration and payment were but just a few of the many things that he pushed for to make a more effective healthcare system. There, I also met some very inspiring doctors and nurses. Perhaps the icing on the cake were the kopi and lunch treats from Dr Tan on the first and last day of our posting, coupled with free lunch when the Singhealth Poly CEO came to visit one of the days. (: -is cheapo
Today was spent in church for an afternoon of prayer and the Good Friday event. Being in the sanctuary on a quiet afternoon was something rather refreshing, and the moments there before the cross were precious. I spoke with a couple of visitors over dinner, and found myself feeling more comfortable that I thought I would have been. In many ways I'm glad I was there, and hope for more such opportunities to arise.
Friedrick Nietzche says, "God is dead, we have killed him!" Jesus is dead. Thoroughly, fully and completely dead. But what hope is there in a dead man? We find the answer in Easter and the conquering of death through a resurrection of Jesus, restored to the throne of heaven. Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. Blessed Easter to all (:
