It's a testament to how much i miss changi when i force Catechol to drive all the way to the east today to hunt down this market that's one of my fav sneak-away lunch places. But sadly, and quite expectedly, I failed to describe the address to Catechol -_-"
One thing abt working with Easterners is that even though you may lunch with different kakis, everyone seems to know where all the good food places are.
A comment like "That time Ms Koh treated us to very good cheng teng...." will invariably be met with "oh ya! I know the place, the cheng teng is damn good!" or "ok! let's go there for lunch, i know how to go!"
Or "Ed brought me to this market near his army camp with good pasta, do u know..." will see us at the very market 10min later.
Or
Me: "What market is this?"
Jw: "I dunno, i call it the round market." (The market is circular in configuration)
Me: "Round market???? Isn't there a proper name?"
Ph: I also know it as the round market.
As such, it is quite impossible for 2 Westerners to revisit all these places.

Anyway, i find it quite disconcerting to be working at my current workplace where i find my private and working worlds clashing horribly.
I was just talking to my mo who live next to this shopping centre that i hung out at almost weekly ever since my teenage formative years. And she immediately came up with an impressive list of Colleagues She has Spotted at said Shopping Centre, which includes more than a few of my bosses. Very scary i tell you.
And sometimes, i find myself suppressing a shudder when i read the addresses of some of my patients.
Much too close for comfort.
I know i haven been blogging much, too tired and my life has been too boring to blog.
And this is most likely my last post in a long long time as i head into the 2 busiest postings ever.
After one whole month of lamenting my fate, and hearing "Oh no, you're going there next mth? Very busy! It's the worst!" from at least 10 HOs, 5MOs, a few nurses and even my GP (!), i think i have finally accepted my fate.
On a happier note, I've got 5 glorioous days of leave next week!
I'm available on 11th and 12th of nov if anyone's leave clash with mine and would like to meet up!
