Today will be a memorable day for me, the day that finally stepped out from HTAR, for good, I hope.
The day started off pretty well, but i felt rather lonely in the afternoon as I spent my so called last lunch hour in Klang, alone. I took a drive to Tesco, and bought a tray of brownies from Secret Recipe for the ward, as a parting gift. My original plan was to buy 3 trays in total, but they only had 1 at that particular shop. I got the only tray that they had and Melanie bought another tray of brownies for me from the Shah Alam brach. Gave the brownies to the two wards that I've worked in before.
Saying goodbye, bidding farewell is just something that I dislike. Well, there is a probabily that I might be transferred back to this place, but leaving a familiar environment and the people whom you are comfortable with can be a emotionally painful. There were so many people who I wanted to meet before I left but I guess it's just not feasible to meet all of them. I said goodbye to the collegues that I bumped into, and took an extra effort to walk to the outpatient clinic to say thanks to my HOD before I left.
It's interesting to hear the things that people tell you when you are about the leave a place for God knows until when. The things that they advice you, the stories that they want to share, last minute questions that they want to ask, etc. You will speak to people that you tend to take for granted everyday, shook hands with a particular person for the first time and getting apologies from people who you never expect.
Just to share a few interesting events that happened today. I got a pat on the back from a specialist who was never close to me, my HOD telling me that I had a lot of potential and a phone operator who I never spoke to in person, wishing me luck just before I left the hospital. I have no idea how she knew that today was my last at HTAR..
Things will definitely change and again I have adjust myself to a new working environment. One thing that I'm going to miss about this place is the friendships that I've made. There are so valuable to me and I've met many wonderful people throughout my journey in my career.
All the best to me this Monday...A new beginning.
