It's been a month??

Just checking in today to assure that I'm still active on this blog. It's been a blurrily busy month again, and the coming month is going to get busier still. And naive old me thought after passing my exam, I was going to have more time on my hands.

Been wanting to discuss a few things recently, one of which is the new PSLE system which will come into effect in 2021, exactly when Gareth(my second child) will be taking the exam. Have some thoughts on that, but I'll do it in another post.

Zika exploded onto the local scene about a week ago, and new cases have been added everyday. It's been quite busy for us at the frontline, in the polyclinic, as the workflow and protocols change literally everyday. I think it's going to be very difficult to eradicate Zika. If we could, we would have eradicated dengue long ago. Thankfully the illness is usually mild and self-limiting, but the main worry is the microcephaly in fetuses in infected pregnant women that seems to be associated with the virus.

As I mentioned, going to be quite busy for the next few weeks, need to get some projects and presentations done, but will still try to come in here, and more frequently.
