Today's my last day of work in the clinic. The clinic that I've come to love so much, so much that I've come to regard it as my second home. It is with mixed feelings that I'm leaving the clinic - jubilant, sadness & fear.
Jubilant - for I'll no longer be under the thumb of that bitch. She'll be the downfall of the clinic. I'll show her that I can do much better outside. I'll prove to her that I'll be far superior in all ways.
Sadness - for I've come to love almost everyone in the clinic, just as most of them has come to love me. The parting scene was really sad. We were bawling our eyes out the entire day. I've never encountered a workplace whereby one feels so much about one's leaving. Our turn-over rate in the clinic is very high & usually no one bats an eyelid when a staff is leaving. To know that I've been loved & revered really touches my heart. It means that my effort in the past 4 years have not gone wasted. It means that I must have been doing things right.
Fear - leaving this warm safe cocoon for the outside world strikes fear in my heart. For I'm sure from now henceforth, the trudge is uphill all the way & the view won't be pretty.
It has taken alot out of me to take this big step forward. I don't know if it's the right thing to do, I guess only time can tell.
A champange (but of course it's only sparkling juice) from the girls to celebrate. They firmly believe that I'll do so much better outside. They have that great deal of faith in me.
My beloved nurses & optometrists.

Zarina, Liza, Trista, Siti, Christy - a most thoughtful memorabilia from them. They've put their photos & private messages into this beautiful photo frame.
