What's Work?

Work - 일하다...That's how to write it in Korean. As for me (저는) I've been working for a medical company (외사) for the last almost 9 years (거의 9 년). When I first (먼저) took (찍다) the profile photo (사진) on this blog (플로그), I was a Section Manager at my old company. Leaving that company in summer (여름) 2011, I joined the new company as a Senior Engineer. I was fortunate to meet many good (좋다) mentors who guided and mentored me to where I am today (오늘). I was promoted in 2012 to Assistant Section Head, 2013 to Section Head, 2016 to Manager and in 2018 to Senior Manager. I was also fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to work in Engineering, Software Engineer and Customer Service and hope to continue to do so for years to come. From here, where do I go? (여기서 저는 어디로 가요?).....

How's the family?

We are fine....Yesterday night, which was Thursday, 18th June 2020, my wife and I brought the children to Klinik Singapore Lip Sin to get their flu vaccinations. The last time they had flu vaccinations was back in Oct 2017 for HY and Feb 2018 for AY. Fortunately, they had some flu shots because HY came down with H1N1 in January 2020 at the same time AY came down with Para-Influenza. Dr. Hwang, who is their pediatrician whenever they go to Island said it was fortunate they had flu shots because it can help minimize the effects of the flu.

Thus yesterday, we went to Klinik Singapore to have flu shots for everyone, me included. And after that, rewarded the kids with McDonald's Ice Cream - though I can't say it was truly a reward for them because they both put up quite a struggle when we were trying to get them to have their shots. They had Abbott Influvac Tetra shots.

And now, since I have missed one round of sentence makings, here are the next sets of Korean sentences.....

1. 방금 뭐 봤어요? (What did you just see?)
