Nice cosy session in Kluang yesterday speaking to and networking with doctors and pharmacists. It wasn’t easy to plan this and I’m thankful for the Hyphens Pharma team for putting this together on a weekday evening. I shared on atopic dermatitis, the clinical aspects and how Ceradan products can complement existing management. Thank you for the warm evening.

I still enjoy Barney’s food 😌

Was a really long day running clinics in two towns but for now … Skin checks over. Sound checks start.
(Forgive me for being corny 😂😂😂)

Had a full clinic day in Kluang, evening ETS to KL, overnight stay, talk delivered, and straight back. The ETS ride was excellent. Highly recommended. Tiring but fulfilling experinece despite losing my right shoe sole en route (lol!)

Working day at KPJ Kluang….
First, dropped by to say hi to , always nice to make an acquaintance.
Second, blessed by thoughtful patients. This famous Kluang delicacy is almost always snapped up, so this really made my day.
And lastly, a cute appreciation from the KPJ Kluang management. They are such a supportive and kind team.
Always thankful for the sweet people here. Indeed, Kluang is a happy town 😌

It is truly a pleasure to be here at the 7th Annual Scientific Meeting organised by the Dermatology Chapter, College of Physicians, together with so many accomplished speakers and our honoured guests AP Jennifer Huang and AP Jean McGee from the United States. It has been an intense and tiring week for me with back-to-back commitments but standing here today makes it all worthwhile!

Back in Singapore two years later for another dermatology event — the 36th DSS Annual Scientific Meeting. The range of challenging topics was good: nail tumours, dermatosurgery cases, lymphoma variants, and GVHD. The registrar case presentations were a highlight — relevant, and thought-provoking. It’s encouraging to see so many subspecialty areas in dermatology being actively developed here — something we can hopefully see more of back home too.
Kudos to Dr , a physician from one of the hospitals I cover — she did a wonderful job co-authoring and submitting a case report with me.
Last but not least, thank you L’Oréal Malaysia for making this trip possible!

Probably the only time in my life that I would be on the silver screen 😌 it’s a privilege sharing about identifying skin problems with an exciting group of pharmacists. As first-lCeradan Malaysias, pharmacists often see skin issues before anyone else — and it’s great to support them in making that first step count. Thank you Ceradan Malaysia for the memorable night!
