Destiny

Channel 8 was showing this show Destiny (梦在手里).
Tay Ping Hui played the role as Shen Jingwen in the show.
In the show, he is suave, mature and abit attitude (but to me,I think that is character!! ;-) )

Suicidal

Was watching a show on channel 5......
it was toking abt sucidal...
abt ppl who do not know how to cope with depressions, stress, hopelessness.....
they think that suicidals are the best option for them....
but often than not, it causes more harm, to their loved ones and friends....

Thus, when anyone out there feel like there is no more route for you, no more hope... and you are depressed....
always remember.... there will always be others who are less fortunate than you... there are definately other solutions around.... choosing death is not a solution.
Remember, no matter how difficult times you are going through now.... your family and friends will always be there for you.....

"Life is full of lots of ups and downs.

Sometimes the sun shines

Sometimes the rain pours

But it takes both the sun and rain

To make a rainbow"

" Life is like a roller coaster.

There are times when it is up

And there are times when it is down

You can either dread about the journey

Or enjoy every moment of it

The CHOICE is YOURS"

Sign Language Trainings

Sign Language training will be on next wednesday at 3pm.... Well, my lesson ends at 4pm (provided there is no PPR lesson....) and no one is going to miss the Physiology lecture.... so I guess I'm not missing it to.... but we will still miss the 1 hr of sign language training.....

haiz.... it may be worse for the next few weeks if we have PPR on that week... as our lessons will end at 5pm... then this time we will miss 2 hrs of sign language trainings.....
hmmm... actually I don't mind missing few hrs of lectures.... as I don't think I will remember and understand much thou.... lolz.... and well, I have missed 1 weeks of lessons before... lolz... I still passed thou... hehe.....

but then again..... no one is gonna miss the lesson..... so is it peer pressure that I'm gonna attend the lecture?? I dunno..... I just worried that we cannot catch up with the training and make a mess of everything....

People's Stories

Recently, I came to realise that I am interested in people's life stories.....
Maybe that's why I choose OT?
but then again... ... I'm already like that before I choose OT!

I'm interested in relationships of people. How and why people behave in certain ways that they behave. Even things like why such pretty/handsome person doesn't have a gf/bf.....
and things that some people go thru that I didn't.....

I enjoyed reading at people's blog... not because I'm a sadist or I enjoyed "putting my happiness onto others' pain" (direct translation from 把自己的快乐健在别人的痛苦上) but believe it or not, sometimes I can feel how the person feels... maybe because I am an emotional person? but sometimes I wonder what actually happens to the people.... I am curious... sometimes I will even think and make up a story in my mind... (wait... isn't that what OT suppose to do??)

Sometimes reading others' blog makes me think and feel how fortunate I am.... sometimes it makes me think why do I do the things that I do.... sometimes it makes me think that I am spending lesser time with my family and friends....

of course, all the reading of blogs makes me reflect on myself......

Last but not least, a blog is something to update your friends on your well-being. At least, that is why my blog is here.....

Uniquely you

There's a place in my heart

That I keep for someone special

Memories forever true to me

Take me through those tougher days

Suddenly I found in you

All the joy, the smiles and laughter

All the hope and love divine

Always you - you on my mind

I always knew - there would be the day

When I give my heart away

To the one who'll always keep me safe and warm

If I should go - I won't ever forget

The special days, the times we had

And no matter what - whether winds of change

You will always be - Uniquely you...

...In my heart

Where I keep my little treasure

It's a time I always turn to

It's the place where you're by my side

I always knew - there would be the day

When I give my heart away

To the one who'll always keep me safe and warm

If I should go - I won't ever forget

The special days, the times we had

And no matter what - whether winds of change

You will always be - Uniquely you

There's a place in my heart

That I keep for someone special

It's a time I always turn to

It's the place where you're by my side

You're the special one - my only'

Cos it's you - Uniquely You

National Anthem

Forget to mention that I feel proud to be a Singaporean, where you see the whole parade singing National Anthem together.

But well, these are kids. I wonder if adults sing as well? Maybe some....

But definately, I sang! I missed the times when we sang National Anthem in school......

"Mari kita...... "

NDP NE Show 1

Hmm... went to NDP NE Show 1 just now....
Feelings kinda affected by the Red Lions...
One of them actually sustained injuries from the waist down.....
He is Master Sergeant Chua Koon San.
Though I have witness the scene, I was kinda shocked and worried... and can't really remember how he fell and injured....
but I remembered that after he fell onto the ground, he was lying there motionlessly.....
He looked so helpless.... and the medical team /medics took like 30s - 1 min before they approached him... perhaps they were waiting to see if Master Sergeant Chua could stand up on his own.... but I feel that it was far too long... he didn't move at all... after he fell....

Well, of course the show has to carry on.... But it is kinda discouraging when you see someone lying down there and the whole parade is cheering.... haiz....
The medics took a spine board with them to carry Master Sergeant Chua. This resulted me to think at that point of time whether he has injured his spine..... Thou I'm not related to this Master Sergeant Chua but I kinda worried for him......

I've always respected those who particpate in NDP.... for, they are the pride of our nation...
I always respect them for the effort that they have put in..... For, I was once part of NDP....
I feel proud to be part of the NDP and I will always be.... whether as a participant or as a spectator..... Most importantly, I'm proud to be a Singaporean!

Thus, I wonder why Singaporeans want to give up their citizenship....
Though I am not in the era where Singapore fights for its independance... its self-government, etc
but I see how Singapore grow..... I see how Singaporeans fight together during the SARS period.... how closely we worked as a nation....
Sometimes in life, we shouldn't think of what the Nation can give us but what we can give the nation!

Our 6 NE messages (if you guys can remember) :

• Singapore is our homeland; this is where we belong.
• We must preserve racial and religious harmony.
• We must uphold meritocracy and incorruptibility.
• No one owes Singapore a living.
• We must ourselves defend Singapore.
• We have confidence in our future.

All these can be found in http://www.moe.gov.sg/ne/aboutne/sixmsgs.htm

Now when the world is vulnerable to bombings, attacks, terrorisms....
the more we should be united as a nation....
United we stand, Divided we fall.....

Soon, I am going to do my part for the Nation, SADeaf and of course for myself. I'll be going to sign the National Pledge( which sadly I didn't have the courage and confidence to do so just now) and the song uniquely yours.....

Last but not least, I pray that Master Sergeant Chua will recover soon! May god bless him!

Blood Donation Drive

Serene, Wendy and me helped out in the Blood Donation Drive today.....
Practically there is nothing much for us to do.
We were suppose to ask the donor to fill in some feedback forms and write down their particulars....
But it was not the last station.... wrong arrangement.....

Then Serene and I were asked to attend to a gal (A) as she was not feeling well.
Haiz.... but the doctor like cannot make it like that...
Do you know that he actually says he was "gan joing" meaning panicky in hokkien??
and he did not really know what to do???
I was like.... erm..... and in the end I suggest to him to give her some warm drink.... lolz....
dunno if it helps... but she din shivers after that....
Guess I do not want to have him as my doctor if I am in her states.....
guess she already got well.... A see you around in sch!!! ;-)

1st week of school

Hmm.... this is the 1st blog ever since I started my YR 2, Sem 1, Wk 1......
Things are getting on pretty fine....
btw, thanks jace for volunteering to be this year class rep!! ;-)

Hope this year will be a fine year..... the modules this sem looks interesting....
For Behaviour Science, I'm actually learning abnormal psychology, practitioner - patient relationship and behaviour and cognitive modification. These sounds interesting isn't it?
Studying topics relating to social sciences has always been my interest. Thus, hope to do well in this module.

Other then Behaviour Science, I have a counselling module which we will be taught some couselling skills. This is also one of my interest as well. Perhaps because I had counselled my friends and juniors before, I may have done a little well for my "role-play" the other day... lolz... Hmmm... well but I guess those I did in the past and what I am going to learn are alittle different. Counselling is to give them options and not advices. =)

Another interesting module will be components of occupational performance 1A. This has many parts to it. They are : Biomechnical and sensorimotor, creativity, intro to mental health and occupations as therapy.
These are very interesting, especially the lab lessons.... but sometimes not enough time to practise what has been taught during the practical sessions.
During Biomechnical and sensorimotor Lab lessons, we are suppose to locate and palpate muscles, etc on a living person. This is cool man.... as what we did last year in anatomy is "muscle man" and candavers.... but this time round.... the subject is a real human being... of course we have to try on a real human being.... who want to give treatment/therapy to a dead person anyway?


As for occupations as therapy, it was interesting.... we are learning ART as therapy.... and will be learning "caring and nuturing"
Looking forward to "caring and nurturing".....

Of course, not forgetting OTTP 2A.... where we had to do case study = PBL again.... lolz...

We were also taught mobility in Human occupations.
As for mobility, we were taught how to sit a person up from lying down aka pronation, with different level of assistance, to turn a person in bed, to shift a person up and down the bed.
I must admit that Hua Beng has very good mobility skills.... he has a very firm touch and you feel comfortable with him..... (hey... you guys don't anyhow think.... anyway if you all do not know who is Hua Beng, he is our lecturer. He showed us how to move/ shift patient and he did it to us, to let us feel how the patient should be feeling. If I were HB's pt, I will feel comfortable and have trust on him....) Guess we still have LOTS to improve if we want to have even 75% of HB's skills..

Not forgetting Dr Param with his and his neuroanatomy and neurophysiology.... hehe

Initial D

Went to watch Intitial D yesterday.... or is it this morning?? ;-)
anyway it was a midnight show.
GX and me had nothing to do and so we decided to go for a movie and.... i left my hse 10 mins!! haha....
Anyway Thanks for the movie, GX.

Actually not really interested in watching Initial D.... cos i thought that the show is good because got JAY inside.... and I'm not a person who is crazy abt stars, etc....

but after watching the show, I would say.... not bad..... the racing scenes are nice....

JAY's image in the movie is cool thou I'm not into Stars thingy.....
but it ends kinda sudden.... so i guess there might be a part 2?
Let's wait then......

1st Parade by Juilet Batch

I went to the weekly parade by the Juilet Batch on Friday.
Hmm... not too bad for a first timer taking over the unit.... by well, there are still room for improvement.

Still need to improve alittle more on their initiatives....

Basically not too bad la... but guess did not have enough time to debrief them... well.. as usual.... the top.... haiz... Don't want to talk about it.

Will email them things that I've not debrief on yet.....

Volunteering

Well, I've decided not to join SHS Club for the next Academic Year. SHS Club is not just a CCA but it is also requires alot of committment. Just take a look at the last academic year. Sad to say, the people running the show are mostly the OT Students.... Taking alook at next semster timetable, I wonder how much time I have for myself. With 8am lecture and that means I must leave my house at 6.30am and that's if I not intending to be late.... and with lessons ending at 6pm.... that means even if I have nothing on aft that, I can only reach home at 7.15pm - 7.30pm?

And in another 11 hrs time I gonna leave the hse again.... haiz.... this will be my routine for the coming semster.... then again... that's IF I have no project discussions... no research to be done..... IF not, Library will be ours again..... and that's 9pm?

Just take a look at my timetable then..... do you think I have time to Volunteer in SHS?
Now even have to solve the problem of Volunteering in NPCC.... cH has officially hand over his work to me... and that means I not only have to guide the Cadets but also the instructors. With my elective ending at 5pm on Friday, how am I suppose to Volunteer myself?? And my instructors cannot make it as well.... Well, it's all 5-day week fault...
And sometimes, it is not that we don't want to volunteer.. but volunteers also need to study and/or work.... therefore, our only free time is SAT.... Volunteers are willing to turn up on weekends... but the rest? think that is sth that really needs to be solve.... if not, there may not be many volunteers left.

Guess, there's a will, there's a way..... but then, there's always a limit to how much a person can volunteer.....
There's always priorities..... things that are Far more impt... like earning money to pay for expenses and school fees and stuff....
As the saying goes,

泥菩萨过江, 自身难保.

Perhaps, maybe, I should try to solve my problems first before going on to others.... but then again.... If it is within my means to volunteer, why not?

If not YOU, WHO?

If not NOW, WHEN?

If not HERE, WHERE?
