The 2020-2022 Covid period were challenging times for all across the world.

It was however a privilege and honour to have stepped forward at the frontlines twice, caring for the ill patients, first at Singapore Expo for our foreign workers and then at Tampines Nursing Home for our elderly folks with multiple medical problems and yet got infected by the virus.

The 12-hour shifts were life-changing. Cheers to my fellow colleagues who showed compassion, fortitude and camaraderie.
