This trip is special; it's the first with Leong for half a year, I thought it would be useful for a fresh pair of eyes to see the construction progress. We have only 2 small packages left, the A&E dept and a new Cathlab but these still need attention and take effort to coordinate. This trip is also special for a less pleasant reason; to hear Sherlin's reason for leaving us. She's worked with us for 2 years and feels that the collaboration isn't working out for her. Working from home, the slow pace of architecture project, the lack of studio dynamics, the long hours of producing drawings are reasons for her departure. She's also re-evaluating her future in this field. I told her I'll keep the door open for future collaborations.
Later that afternoon, Sean and Suen Ling met with a young man who has an interest in design, but lacked the opportunity and discipline. Sean's first assessment was not positive, so I told SL 'no', but decided to ring her and hear from her. She talked about empathy and giving chances. So next Friday, we'll give Michael a week to see if we're able to give him some insight in our work. Darryl will the prime tutor for Michael, it'll be good for both of them.
