I doubt that I come off as mysterious. Well, maybe in person. Most of the time I’m smiling because first of all, it is just simply easier to be that, even during a crazy hectic day. Second, it eases my interaction among my colleagues and friends. I’ve written a lot about my experiences through various articles, YouTube videos and Podcast on this website. For my dear loyal readers, you would probably know that too.
However, I realised that apart from my closed countable amount of trusted friends, nobody knows about the existence of this side of me. As I began my housemanship journey, I’ve made a number of connections with various colleagues who thankfully enough are on rather good terms with me. It truly eases my day at work and in addition to that, I’ve also grown close to a group of friends. We call ourselves the “Lunch Time” group, and are from the same intake of junior doctors.
It did not actually occurred to me that they did not know about the existence of the graphics designer / writer in me until a few of my colleagues took an interest on what I’m writing. This is a rare occasion. However, “slow days“ do occur once in a while and it is during that time that I would take the opportunity to just sit and write.
Personally, I prefer to write my articles beforehand on paper before scheduling them to be posted. The feeling of writing on paper is just somewhat satisfying. Hence, I would always be carrying a book in my bag to allow myself to write should the opportunity arises.
Whenever a dear colleague of mine sees me in a corner writing, they would immediately assume that I am mere writing a diary entry for the day or they would ask me about it. Much to their surprise, I would answer “I’m a writer.”, followed by a smile or laughter. Hence, most of the time, I would not be taken seriously.
Well, to an extent, it is time, I am a writer. I do consider myself a writer. I’ve always wanted to be a journalist and I’d like to think that to a certain extent, I have somewhat fulfilled that childhood ambition.
It is therapeutic for me and I do look forward for a short opportunistic window to write.
Thus, what are some things that people do not know about me?
I enjoy content creation. The idea of writing and expressing my thoughts, designing (although simple) and editing videos are just some of the activities that I seek solace in.
