Enjoying my working life

I have been actively participating in events and conferences that was held over many weekends for the past few months. Though I didn't get much rest, I was actually enjoying what I was doing. It was very meaningful helping out in the company launches and doing public forum to create more awareness for Alzheimer's Disease. Ever since I joined my current company, I get to understand more in dept on the disease and the problems patients as well as their caregivers face during their daily routine. It was only then that I realised that the power of love is so great for some and vulnerable for the majority.



Many patients used to be the love of someone's life, caring husband to wife, loving parents to their children, but when this disease strike them, all these changes. Many caregivers find taking care of their AD family members very troublesome and tiring. They soon became very short tempered and impatient with them and gradually neglected them. This is a very common sight I see during outings with the caregivers.

Got very good feedback from the food I catered for the public. It's from Food Haven.

The turn out that day was massive, about 150 people came for the talk cum launch of the caregiver's dvd.

Newater plant at Changi.

This was taken a few months ago. My company collaborates with ADA every year to have a Caregivers and their AD family members an outing to tour around Singapore's places of attraction. This year we brought them to Newater plant.

This adorable granny has colourful nail polish, though she is an AD patient, she is still very cheerful and curious with the surroundings. Her caregiver is a maid from Indonesia, not only does she looks after the granny, she also in charge of her grooming as she was the one that painted her nails.

Dinner symposium held in Goodwood Park Hotel on a Saturday night. We were wearing our product uniform and a doctor commented that we looked like bus conductors! Later we found out that she is a Psychiatrist, but was also disappointed that she is so shallow to make such a comment. All this while I assume that they are very caring and understanding, guess I am wrong.

Me and my lovely colleagues. I am certain we don't look like bus conductors. What do you think?

So this is a short summary of what I have been doing for the past few months. Need to carry on with my work now.
