Education/Learning

Since most of us (OTties) are having our mid-eval now..... I have a quote for you all.... and of course for me, myself:

“The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.”

We have 4 more weeks to go..... jiayou!

Let us all continue our strengths and work on our weakness/es!

Yesterday, today, tomorrow

" I cannot change yesterday but I can make the most of today and look with hope towards tomorrow."

Korean dramas and songs

Oh... I think I am so in love with korean dramas and songs now.....

Korean songs and dramas are always so emotional.... haha... but I like it... ;-)

Maybe, we should all go and learn abit of korean so that we can watch the dramas without subtitles.... right?

haha.... all of my friends who are currently crazy about goong now.... maybe can consider my suggestions.... lol.... ;-)

Goong OST: I'm a fool

I was a fool. I was a fool.

My regrets were too late too. I know that it can't be turned back.
I know that I can't see you too.
I was so wrong, I'm so sorry.
I didn't get to say then, instead I was just being rotten.
So I'm here now pleading for forgiveness with worry

I'm a fool
Because of my pride I'm ruining myself with alcohol
and the bitter taste of cigarette smoke.
I cry my eyes out all day because I still love you
You and I, we both are like fools.

Don't be like that, think about it.
Think about what it took us to get here
Think about it again, you're going to regret it.
I was so wrong, I'm really sorry
I didn't get a chance to say then, instead I was just being rotten.
So I'm here now pleading for forgiveness with worry

I'm a fool
Because of my pride I'm ruining myeslf with alcohol
and the bitter taste of cigarette smoke.
I cry my eyes out all day because I still love you
You and I, we both are like fools.

I can't live a moment without you.
I still cry even no matter how I drink or if I cut my hair.

I'm a fool
Because of my pride I'm ruining myself with alcohol
and the bitter taste of cigarette smoke.
I cry my eyes out all day because I still love you
You and I, we both are like fools.

Don't ruin yourself anymore...

The other half

Today, a guest OT visited my clinical placement to know more about the place.

We chatted alittle bit with her during lunch.....

And we mentioned that it is rather traditionally that female OTs will marry either engineers or doctors.....

Hmm... I think I will want to "break" that traditions of marrying engineers .....

I think I would want someone from the helping professions tooo..... ;-)

So.... it can be social worker, doctor, PT, teachers, OT, ST, blah blah blah.....

Part of my personality report

You At Your Best
When you're in the presence of others who care about you, you relax and really shine. Supportive, safe interactions with people who believe in you are an important step in your unfolding path towards more confidence. You'll thrive in atmospheres that are calm and quiet. When you feel soothed, you can tune into your real thoughts and reactions. By creating a peaceful environment for yourself, and by slowly building up your confidence, you will be able to enter the world more fully and share the amazing person you are.

Achieving Success
You are focused on success in your life; and you define it in a variety of ways. You love the boost you get from getting credit for your work, financial rewards, achieving your personal goals, finding luck in love, having great friends and, in sum, getting what you want. You can be held back, however, by a pesky self-doubt that occasionally questions your ability to really “make it” in the world. You've never been afraid to let the world know what you have to offer. Whether it's standing up to take credit in a work scenario or letting a new person you meet get a sense of your charms right away, you know how to put your best assets front and center. A challenge for you in the area of ambition is to partner with others as you pursue your dreams. Don't let that niggling self-doubt keep you from teaming up, combining resources and sharing the trip. You'll find the rewards of being on a team or part of a duo can be felt during the process and pay off in the final reward.

Conflict
When conflicts arise for you, it's often because your sense of fairness has been offended. The frequent difference between what people deserve —whether credit, money, or happiness — and what they actually have, can be extremely galling for you. There are also times when you don't feel justly rewarded for your efforts and assets. Occasionally, there are times when it's hard for you to let go of even seemingly minor irritations. You may find yourself reacting strongly at first. But gradually you will learn to let it go.

What reallys motivates me
Safety and ease are at the heart of your motivations. You want to feel protected, accepted and safely away from drama or confusion. You're willing to work and plan in order to create a haven from life's ups and downs. Such subtle rewards are, for you, the richest ones.

My Intuition and psychic impressions

You're very intuitive when it comes to expanding your horizons. Somehow, you know which opportunities will take you to a higher level, and which will lead to dead ends.

You never hesitate to take risks for the sake of greater knowledge. At times, you pass off your successes as "lucky breaks," but there is really something more powerful at work here - your intuition.

A great way to strengthen the bond between your conscious mind and your sixth sense is by watching foreign movies with the subtitles turned off. You'll be amazed at how much you can glean without understanding a word that is uttered. The more you practice this technique, the stronger your psychic abilities will become. That's because you will be forced to tune into subliminal messages for information.

You can also apply this technique to certain real-life situations. Just tune out somebody's words and tune in to their energy instead. Traveling to foreign lands also heightens your powers of awareness.

Challenge Life Goals

I didn't realise that the motivational posters in my room are placed in the following order :

Challenge-Life-Goals

Challenge
Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go where there is no path and leave a trail

Life
Life is like a roller coaster. There are times when you are up.
And there are times when you are down.
You can either dread the journey
Or learn to enjoy every moment of it. The choice is yours.

Goals
Always aim for the sky...
For if you fail, at least you can reach the clouds.

Note: To all my friends out there, jiayou! Esp. those beloved friends of mine who are out for clinicals.... remember... Challenge-Life-Goals! ;)

Food for thoughts

This is a very late post.... but nevertheless... please enjoy!

At 香港茶餐厅(marina square) after one of our papers during exam period,

The menu

My pork chop cheese baked spaghetti

Serene's cheezy baked rice

In school during exam period too,

Is that 1 bread that you see?

It is actually just 1/2 a bread..... cheated my feelings....

Oh.... the following are taken during one of the fridays after my CE3A with few of my classmates (we happened to meet in the sch library and decided to give ourselves a good treat) .....

Perhaps Love

Perhaps Love (Is This Love?) - Howl and J

I don't remember when it happened.
I'd get dizzy just thinking about you.
Because my thoughts kept stretching, my heart was surprised.
It's a little awkward that I keep saying to you that "it's nothing"
and that "my heart's just trifling"

Is this love? And if you feel the same way, is this the beginning?
My heart keeps saying it loves you and the more the world listens
the louder it yells it.
Why is it just now that I hear it?
That the love has been found us so we might be together.

Even if I try to explain my feelings, the only true way to understand
would be to become me and feel them.
I'm already inside of you, just how you're inside of me.
I don't know if we've gotten used to the meaning between us.

Is this love? And if you feel the same way, is this the beginning?
My heart keeps saying it loves you and the more the world listens
the louder it yells it.
Why is it just now that I hear it?
That the love has been found us so we might be together.

Now that I think about it, there were so many moments of fluttering.
I'll make up for all the time lost.

I'll be with you and give you only good memories,
so in return you can't leave me.
Even the slightest moments make me feel uneasy
Stay with me

I'm loving you (until then)
like this (only you) already

男人不坏，女人不爱？

哈哈。。。 不知为什么我看的戏都是 “ 男人不坏，女人不爱” 的。。。

在现实生活中的人也是如此吗？

Gong

Just finished watching 'Gong'........ such a nice show......

I dunno how many times I teared..... haiz....I think I'm kinda immersed in their roles now.... still feel sad for them when I think about it...

Sometimes when I watched...... I feel like using something to hit the 'prince' head sia..... why must he wait so long then tell Shin Chae-gyung that he likes her.....

He never told her that he likes her...... so she thought that he didn't like her.... she thought that he want her to stay with him because of the 'political marriage' which was the initially reason.... but in the end, the prince fell for Shin Chae-gyung.

Because Shin Chae-gyung thought that Shin didn't like her and felt very suffocated in the palace, so during one live interview, Shin Chae-gyung said that she wants a divorce.... this caused Shin - the prince to be very heartbroken, who then cried in front of her for the 1st time when they went back to the palace.....


The worse part of all was..... Shin Chae-gyung always didn't see the whole session when Shin met up with Hyo-rin...... the first time was Shin wanted to return the things that Hyo-rin gave him.... and that time Hyo-rin fell onto the stage and twisted her ankle.... Shin went to massage abit for her.... but Chae-gyung only saw that part and left.... but the later part was that he returned the stuff to her..... argh....

The 2nd time was at Yul's party..... Hyo-rin told Shin that she would be leaving to purse her dream.... then Shin also mentioned that he may do so too 2-3 years time.... so Chae-gyung heard that and thought that he had already planned for the future.... without her.... but in fact.... the later part was that Shin said if he were to go..... it will be with Chae-gyung..... haiz..... but she didn't hear too....

So sad right??

But glad in the end the prince finally confessed to her..... =) And they stayed together to overcome all the difficulties....

hmmm.... I think if I were Chae-gyung, I will also choose Shin instead of Yul too....

世界上最遥远的距离

世界上最遥远的距离
不是生与死

你却不知道我爱你

不是我就站在你面前
你却不知道我爱你
而是
明明知道彼此相爱
却不能在一起

世界上最遥远的距离
不是明明知道彼此相爱
却不能在一起

明明无法抵挡这股想念
却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你
放在心里

世界上最遥远的距离

而是
用自己冷漠的心
对爱你的人
掘了一道无法跨越的沟渠

Horoscope for the day

The Bottom Line

You are where you need to be, and this place has more to offer than you realize.


In Detail

Sometimes when you finish a journey, you arrive at a place that looks very different from what you thought it was going to look like. You might be disappointed, you might be pleasantly surprised; but you should definitely be hopeful that things will get better. You are where you need to be, and if you aren't happy about the accommodations, be patient. Learn to live with it and explore what it offers. This place you are in has much more to offer than you realize.

Clinical Attachment

Currently, I am having my attachment at one of the pediatrics settings.....

I like pediatrics..... but don't know if I can work with them....

We shall see....

Due to confidentiality, most of the things will not be blogged down....

First day passed.....

JC Classmates...

Went to one of my Leela, my JC classmate's 21st bday celebration....

Glad to see all my friends well and happy..... esp. to see my JC best friend's boyfriend treating her well..... much much more than her ex..... lolz...

Well, at first I couldn't understand what all of them are talking... cos they are all business and accountancy students....

luckily came 2 other JC classmates... where at least Maslow's hierachy of needs, eric erikson's , all some other names came in... lol.... one of them is currently in social work... and the other in computer engineering (who have to study some socio stuff.... )

Ya..... haben been seeing them... hope that we have a gathering soon!

Journey

A journey has ended.... and another is about to begin....

2 weeks of stressful event is over - EXAMS..... Another 8 weeks of journey is about to begin....

Say I wasn't worried, it's a lie... 'cos that's what will happen to all of us on the 1st day of clinical.....

I am excited, no doubt abt it.... but at the same time.... I am worried that I will not be able to perform up to my own expectations as well as the clinicians.... I know you guys want to kill me for saying that.... 'cos it has not even stARted...

okay.... I am going to jiayou and enjoy this placement!!! So is all my classmates k?

Jiayou.....

In another news, sensory-motor practical result is out. I didn't score well.... neither did I fail. It was all expected. But glad that I had passed... ...

Let's meet again in 2 mths time.... while those having "respite care", I'll see you ard in school next week!

What's Behind my emotions?

Your strongest belief is
Compassion

Now that you know that Compassion is one of your core convictions, let's take a look at how that value influences your emotional landscape — the way you experience the 8 key emotions, and how intensely you feel them.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience happiness at a moderate intensity. When something really good happens in your life, you like to revel in your happiness. While some may be more inclined to jump for happiness or meditate in a state of serenity and calm, you most often feel a more balanced and even-keeled happiness. Your feelings of delight are nourishing to both yourself and those you share them with.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience respect at a low intensity. When you place your respect in others, it means you've identified them as someone you value and approve of. Some people may think of respect as revering another person without reservation, but when you respect another person you tend to base it solely on your individual interactions with that person. Your tendency is to allow people the opportunity to earn your respect through positive proof of their character. For you, it may be liberating to allow yourself to dispense respect more freely, imagining that humans are generally good in nature.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience fear at a high intensity. When something frightens you, such as a dark alleyway or an upcoming test, you may find that you feel panicked. In situations where others experience mild worry or anxiety, you may feel something closer to terror. While there are certainly times in your life when a high level of fear is appropriate and self-preserving, there are other times when your level of fear may be out of proportion with the actual or likely risks involved. You might consider employing some relaxation techniques the next time you feel overwhelmed with an irrational fear.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience sadness at a moderate intensity. When you get into a funk, you generally avoid the full depths of misery. Your feelings of sadness indicate that you're in touch with your emotions and that you aren't afraid to acknowledge painful feelings. Because of this, you likely tend to be an empathic person. While being able to access your sadness is a useful emotional tool, you may sometimes get stuck in your sadness. During those occasional sad times, you may want to make plans with others to watch a light comedy or engage in other uplifting activities.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience wonderment at a high intensity. When something surprises you, you tend to be stunned for a long time. Unexpected news, such as a significant promotion at work, impacts people in different ways. Some people tend to feel mildly upset or alarmed, but you're more likely to feel shocked. If the intensity of your wonderment throws you off, it may be helpful for you to pay extra attention to the thoughts and concerns of those around you, as this may give you a heads up about things that would otherwise escape your attention.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience hostility at a moderate intensity. When someone makes an inappropriate comment, for instance, you're more likely to feel appropriately offended, instead of blowing it out of proportion, or excusing it entirely. Your feelings of hostility can be used as a gauge to identify behavior that is offensive or inappropriate, and they can motivate you to take action against such behavior. When misplaced, though, feelings of dislike and repulsion can alienate others and sometimes poison you. Engaging in empathetic feelings for yourself and others is a good way of defusing hostility when it seems inappropriate.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience anger at a moderate intensity. When you're wronged, you're less likely to feel complete rage than others. Because you are able to experience anger in a tempered way, you're more likely to channel it into constructive solutions. You're not one to let people walk all over you, nor do you tend to steamroll others with your anger. On those days when your anger feels more heated, you may want to employ techniques like meditation to help you cool down and come back to your center.

Your test results have revealed that you tend to experience expectancy at a moderate intensity. For instance, when planning your vacation or getting ready to start something new, you're likely to spend a lot of time preparing. Looking forward to things can add spice to life, and being able to feel that excitement means you don't tend to prepare for the worst or hold back on your eagerness. This enthusiasm adds thrill to your life, and others find your good feelings contagious. The downside to your levels of expectancy is that sometimes you may feel disappointed or let down when things go wrong, and you may find it difficult to be 'in the moment' when you're focusing on something that hasn't yet happened. Making sure to balance your expectations for the future with an appreciation for what you already have is important for your emotional balance and well-being.

So,

Because of your uncompromisingly compassionate nature, you generally feel most fulfilled when you can lend a helping hand to those who really need it. You are an incredibly caring person who tries your best to put yourself in someone else's shoes before you judge them. You tend to see both sides in a situation or conflict, and because of that you may be often asked to help settle disputes. People likely come to you when they need a sympathetic ear because they know they can count on you to respond in a caring way. Your emotional intolerance for hard-heartedness — in yourself and others — makes you a highly empathic person.

What am I allergic to?

Xiu Ling, you're allergic to Being Alone.

Sure, it might not be a medical diagnosis, but it seems like you're the type who might break into hives when forced to spend unwanted time alone. There's just something about togetherness that you crave. In fact, being with friends and family makes you feel most comfortable.

Maybe it's your gregarious nature, maybe you just like to have company, or maybe you have so much to share that you need others around to absorb your knowledge and enthusiasm. Regardless of what you love about being one-on-one or in a group, one thing seems clear, you can feel a little sickly when you're on your own.

This test is a courtesy from emode.

(Friends out there.... how true you think this is? hehe... )

What are my best adventures?

Xiu Ling, your best adventures are Outdoor Outings.

You're geared up and ready to conquer the great outdoors! Snow-capped mountains, deep blue lakes, and evergreen forests — these are the places your heart wants to be. Sure, you can appreciate a nice dinner out, but nothing beats the view you can savor from the top of a mountain.

Walking in the woods or simply hanging out in your backyard, as long as there's fresh air and the wind in your hair, you're in paradise. So grab the sunscreen and get outside! For a nature lover like you, the sky truly is the limit.

What exhilarates me

Xiu Ling, Living Life to the Fullest Exhilarates You.

Like your signature scent, you're fresh, vibrant, and full of life. Always able to see the best in everyone and everything, you take the time to enjoy the small things and have a knack for making any moment feel special.

Friendly and fun-loving, you can charm strangers and acquaintances alike with your easygoing ways. You're a hit at parties, whether you're entertaining a crowd with witty stories or having an intimate conversation in the corner. And then there's that dance floor you're not afraid to tear up. Sound exhilarating? You are!

Making a difference - How can I change the world?

Xiu Ling, you'll make a difference when it comes to Dedication to Change.

While other people sit around and wait for life to come to them, you put yourself out there and make it happen. After all, if you don't like the way things are, how do you expect anything to be different unless you do something about it?

Determined and dedicated, you're not afraid to go out on a limb and do what you can to make an impact. You realize change doesn't happen overnight, and you don't give up easily even when the going gets tough. That's what makes you such an inspiration. And it's also sure to make the world a better place. Bravo!

What is my relationship destiny?

Xiu Ling, your relationship destiny is to Have a Romantic Rendezvous.

Wild thing, you make our hearts sing. Daring and headstrong, you know that the world is full of all kinds of adventures and possibilities, and you want to try as many of them as possible. Whether you've already met the action hero who's bold enough to join you on your travels, or are still looking for a soul brave enough, you're sure to enjoy the search.

A risk taker by nature, you're not afraid to put yourself on the line, whether you're scaling mountains or falling in love on the first date. Sure, that means you'll get a few bumps and bruises along the way, but for a courageous spirit like you, that's part of the fun. How romantic!

What you love to indulge in?

Xiu Ling, you love to indulge in a Good Workout.

Hiking, biking, swimming, running — whatever your activity of choice, you know it's the quickest and easiest way to revive your body and renew your spirit. Bubble baths and bon bons are luxurious to some, but an adventure-lover like you needs a little more action to feel indulged.

Courageous and strong, you love setting goals...and achieving them. Your motto? Try anything once and do it often. You make the most of every day and get a kick out of overcoming challenges and learning about the world around you. Sound wild? You are!

中秋节快乐

今天考试终于考完了。。。 。。。

考完试的我们， 吃了一顿丰富的午餐。。。

之后，我们又去唱 K Box 。。。 从四点多唱到9 点 。。。

今天又是中秋节。。。 可是天空太 hazy 了 。。。 不能赏月。。。

在此， 祝大家中秋节快了！

The Haze and respiratory problem is here to stay

More and more ppl are having respiratory problems becos of the haze....

For me, not sure if it is the doing of the haze..... or perhaps it is becos it is exams time and all our immune sys are low due to lack of sleep......

But I know, I have BLOCKED/running nose.....

Horoscope for today and tomorrow

Today's

One of your greatest gifts is your ability to believe: in yourself, in possibility and, most of all, in the future. No matter how outlandish this idea might seem right now, you know it's just a little ahead of its time.

Tommorrow's

Thinking ahead is one of your favorite pastimes. You need lots of freedom -- both physical and mental -- in order to really let yourself roam the way you want to. Give yourself room to shape the future.

In another horoscope,

The Bottom Line
Keep on keeping on -- you are closer than ever to getting what you want. Persevere!


In Detail
Keep on keeping on -- you are closer than ever to getting what you want, and if you just keep going, you will soon (very soon) see a sign that things are about to change the way you want them to. If you're on a diet, you'll notice your clothes fitting differently. If you're working on a new relationship, you will start to see this person open up. If you are just trying to stay positive, you will soon get the encouragement you need to believe deep in your heart that everything is coming up roses!

Sometimes all these just inspires and motivates me.... of course when they are postives.... lol

Falling sick

I am seriously going to fall sickkkk....

Ah chew ......

I missed my daily dosage of herbal tea.....

Role Conflict

I was at a cafe at the airport just now with SC, studying......

We were there a couple of hours..... then came the waiter saying,

" No STUDENTS allowed!"

At that moment, I feel that there was a role conflict..... 'cos I am a customer, thus I have my rights to stay.... But at the same time, my role is a student....

Thus, to spite the waiter.... cos I just can't stand his attitude, I decided to cast away my student role for that moment and enjoy my customer role.... so I kept away my notes and slowly eat my pastry.....

My attitude would be better IF he had said this instead,

"I'm afraid no studying is allowed here."

Cos no studying = no studying BUT students are allowed......
BUT NO students = NO students whether you are studying or not.....

See the difference?

BTW it is not so much about what he said BUT how he said it....
