2 Presentations down
Finally.... 2 presentations were over.....
PPR and Abnormal Psychology.....
Much effort was put into these 2 presentations than other presentations....
From the laughers that the class have....I was glad that the class enjoyed the presentation....
Just that I apologized for what I have said at the end of the class.....
hmm... how should I put it...
It is not that standards getting higher and higher.... but rather, being the last group to present, we had to squezee our brain juice to come out with one that is different from the previous 3...
Maybe it is more challenging.. rather than higher standards.... ;p

China Photos and TPJC SSC 2003 Dinner
It took me so long(erm.... almost 10 months for china photos and 2 years for SSC photos...) to process the films into negatives.... ;p
Will upload the photos soon...
Anyway, I didn't develop the photos. Instead, I ask the shop assistant to help me burn into a CD instead.... so it is analogue to JPG. I still have 1 more roll of film not yet process... took the wronf one... that's why ended up processing the TPJC SSC Dinner 2003 photos.... I will bring to the shop to process next week...
I have uploaded to my multiply website liao.... to visit, click here to visit my china photos took using analogue camera and here for my TPJC SSC dinner 2003.
I will upload to flickr when I am more free......

It just don't worth the effort
Before I start to complain of what happened during my Entrepreneurship Presentation, I would like to thank those who tried to wake me up..... thanks theresa for giving me the morning call!!! I was up at 7am already... but fell asleep again after messaging my classmate....
Not forgetting the kind soul who said that he would call me.. but doesn't have my number.... ;p
Thanks guys!!! I really appreciate that!!
As the title goes, It just don't worth the effort.........
After burning 1 day during the term break and 1 weekend @ char's house..... not forgetting the intense research that we did and the burning of midnight oil to touch up for the presentation - total of 52 slides, the search for our blazers, pants and skirts in order to look presentable for the presentation..... your " your time is up" stops us from presenting.... it is not the content I am talking about... but is the effort..... the student's effort.....
We were supposed to be given 15 mins of presentation but you cut it into 10 mins of presentation and 5 mins of Q&A only told to us at the day of presentation. Never mind about that..... but WTH are you taking our 1o mins of presentation to ask questions?? Can't you just leave it to the 5 mins Q&A?? Can you guys just imagine that we only presented like 10 slides out of the 52 that we had?? Just because the lecturer stopped us and asked us question?? And there was a little technical fault in the beginning.... and we wasn't compensated for even a minute....
The 10-min presentation for each group got shorter and shorter..... unlike the first few groups who presented.... they were given the full 10-mins.... and well... these people who presented first consists of certain people related to this lecturer. I can't help but think there might be some kind of bias here.... but well... in the end, I decided to give him some benefit of doubt. Perhaps it all goes back to expectations..... Maybe like what Char and CY said, perhaps he just want innovative stuff instead of all the marketing stuff.... but how can 1 don't feel the way I feel when you are only given 10 minutes of presentation, with 6 members in your group and it is 50% of my whole module!!!
Out of the 6 members in our group, only 3 people presented.
Anyway, since WE did the presentation for US and NOT for YOU, it doesn't really matters much now..... so long we know that we did put in our best.....
In the first place, there wasn't much good impression of you and respect for you WHO pick up your calls when you were lecturing and left halfway to attend to the call w/o apologizing after that...... yes... we are student.... but shouldn't YOU showed us respect as well? does being a lecturer gives him the previlage to do so? I don't think so....
How about leaving a whole LT of students in the LT when you said you or another lecturer will be back but never return after that? Where is all the sense of responsiblities that as a educator should show?
After this, there is still a 2000 word (40%) report to write.....
We are going to PROVE you that we had done our research well.....
Because of this, I didn't have my breakfast or lunch till 4+ where we went out of the LT and went to the North canteen to eat....
Well, though we were disappoint about how the lecturer handled this presentation, it did not damp down our spirit.
We went on to take photos of us in business suit.... it is a rare chance to wear such attire as we don't really need to be so formal in our other presentations...... Photos will be up after S send it to me... ;p
I seriously think that you have a problem with your time mgt.... perhaps you should see an OT because you have a problem in your job performance as a lecturer....
;p

法医X档案2, Beyond The aXis of Truth 2
“你可以不爱我。
可是你可以让我爱你吗?”
“You can don't love me but can you let me love you?"
This is my life....
I was surfing and reading many of my friends blog, when I saw many of you are writing about " I am the gal" and " I am the boy".......
Inspired by you guys, this is mine......
I am the gal who is turning 21 and is looking back in life to reflect what have I done in the last 20 years.
I am the gal in the kindergarden class looking out of the window, looking at the others' parents outside the classroom and wondering where's mine while holding back my tears.
I am the one in kindergarden who thought that we were going some shopping centre to learn to money handling skills, only to know that we were going to the "mama" shop next to my kindergarden.
I am the one who mistaken you for stolen my scissors when I was in primary 1 because you were a problematic student which I later found out that my scissors was at home all along. Luckily I apologized and you have forgiven me. Where are you now and how have you been?
I am tha gal who was the second tallest in class at the age of 6. At the age of 20, I became the top 5 for being the shortest.
I was the one gal who was daring enough to write your name in my prefect notebook even though someone told me your dad was some "big shot" in the police force. I was primary 4 then.
I was the gal who cried when I got 99 marks for my primary 6 maths prelims. It was not tears of joy but tears of disappointment. 1 mark for careless mistakes. I think I still have the answer script somewhere in my house.
I am the sister who saw you cried in front of others for the 1st time, over a gal and then few years later, because of someone that you loved was hospitalized.
I am the gal who approached you and asked if I could be a prefect and promised I would not quit this CCA to prepare for my O level.
I am the gal who receives an excellence from you for my conduct when I was in Secondary 1.
I am the gal who saw my own result slips before given to me by my form teacher because I was the one who printed the result slips for the whole school.
I am the gal who respected you most but lost the respect for you when you failed to defend for us even when we were not in the wrong.
I am the gal who, for the first time, was so happy that I cried. It was the release of my O level results.
I am the gal who screams at the sight of dogs. Not that I am afraid of dogs but because I am too excited.
I am the gal who decided that I was not going to change into arts course, not going to drop NPCC and not going to poly, when you tell me that I was not suitable for a science course in JC, when I was too busy with CCA and when in the first place, not suitable to be in a JC. I have proven you all wrong. =P
I am the gal who decided that I am not going to get a degree and get a diploma instead.
I am the gal who wants to do alot of things but yet there is so little that I can do.
I am the gal who does dragonbating and kayaking and yet don't know how to swim.
I am the gal who wishes to love and be loved yet I fear committments and failures.
I am the gal who believes in Love at first sight and that THE ONE will appear when the time is right.
I am the gal who prefers to love than be loved.
I am the gal who is feared by your boyfriend who always make you cry.
I am the gal who promised to go to China with both of our families after our As but it never happened.
I am the gal who loves to watch romance movies but shy to let others see me cry.
I am the gal who felt that I can grow up sooner when I hear you saying that you are in your 60s and yet I am still schooling.
I am the gal who yearns for a shoulder to cry on yet I don't wish to be dependent on others.
I am the gal and this is my life.......
And it goes on...............

Few but encouraging....
I was at my unit the other day..... no... i'm not going to touch on NPCC stuff in this entry... but rather people who I have not seen for a long time.
Pardon me if I couldn't recall your name... there were few of them... at least someone who are near my era.... lolz.... I was surprised that 1 one them could actually remember my name when I can't even recall his.... nevertheless, all of them, or rather 3 of them looks familar.... I think it was becaues my unit joined their area for atc last year..... so much so about the history.... I am coming back to the topic.... few but encouraging.....
One of the 3 of them, actually heard of Occupational Therapy course... smiles..... and the other 1 volunteers in CP centre.... and I found myself preaching talking to them about OT.... I didn't preach to them la... I just got excited to tell them what I am doing in my course.... since 1 of them knows about it and the other volunteers in one of the potential place that I may be working in.....
I realised I am falling in love with you more and more......
occupational therapy.....
*gosh..... what are you people thinking?? ; ) *

月之歌
但愿人长久
明月几时有
把酒问青天
不知天上宫阙
今昔是何年
我欲乘风归去
又恐琼楼玉宇
高处不胜寒
起舞弄清影
何似在人间
转朱阁
低绮户
照无眠
不应有恨
何事长向别时圆
人有悲欢离合
月有阴晴圆
缺此事古难全
但愿人长久
千里共婵娟
月亮代表我的心
你问我爱你有多深
我爱你有几分
我的情也真
我的爱也真
月亮代表我的心
你问我爱你有多深
我爱你有几分
我的情不移
我的爱不变
月亮代表我的心
轻轻的一个吻
已经打动我的心
深深的一段情
教我思念到如今
你问我爱你有多深
我爱你有几分
你去想一想
你去看一看
月亮代表我的心

一言难尽
Why is it that nobody or so few people believe that Occupational Therapy student who is in POLY is that busy?
I'm sure that many of my classmates would agree with me, as this was mentioned few times in the causal conversations with them.
It is not that we cramp all our projects to the last minute but rather we have too many projects and presentations to handle. Some are even given to us to prepare within 2-3 weeks, which actually disrupted the datelines that we had planned for our other presentations that we were given earlier on. Some of our gatherings and outings with friends may also be disrupted.
Sometimes I feel that it is useless to explain to people that we are really busy..... cos NO one believes that... just because we are POLY students......
But nobody is aware that even a POLY student like us hasMUCH more the same workload that as Uni student......
Thus, sometimes I just give up explaining that we are really busy..... and..... PLEASE DO NOT SAY the why-go-poly-after-JC.....
Maybe I shall explain it once and for all.....
I believe most of the OT student qualifies to go to an Uni.... some even went to an university but decided to take OT instead.....
FYI, courses like Occupational Therapy, Physiotherapy and Radiography are only for students with A-LEVEL qualifications. So, does studying in a POLY makes us different from UNIVERSITY students just because POLY is primarily for O-LEVEL students?
Sad to say, the answer is YES. This is perhaps due to the public not knowing such courses exist in the first place, which I don't blame them. I didn't know that they exist until when I was looking for alternatives other than choosing a degree course in case I didn't get in.
Well, I didn't meant that OT was my other alternative in case I didn't get into NTU or NUS. In fact, I was offered common engineering in NTU. But after much considerations, I decided that OT was more suitable for me though I know that I have to bear the consequencs that comes along like, friends and relatives asking:

"Why you go poly after your JC education? In that case, why don't you go poly in the first place?"
"Now, that you are in poly, what are your plans after that?", etc.
Perhaps more promotions or talks should be given to such courses. Maybe, things will get better when full-time degree courses are being offered in Singapore in the future.
Talking about degree courses, if I remember correctly, HB was mentioning that Occupational Therapy are one of the most popular courses, after medicine and Physiotherapy, in one of the overseas university and that the cut of point were much higher than to enter into their law faculty. I am not trying to compare which course should have higher cut-off point but to emphasize that OTs and PTs have more recognition in other countries and that they see the importance of the professions.
Perhaps, OT is still a young profession relatively to Singapore..... hopefully things will change for the better..... of course, if our starting salary can increase.. that will be great....

Interesting slogan
Just now was looking for a slogan for our Entrepreneurship presentation when we came across a very interesting slogan here:
" Planned Parenthood of NYC: Oooh… Oooh… Ooops! "
Addendum: Please don't be mistaken this for "my company" slogan.... it is not.... = )
Around the world in 80 days......
You only needs 80 days to travel around the world .....

Worse Physical Fall of my life....
I had my worse physical fall of my life just now, in a captain's ball match against the PTs.....
I was running sideway to get the ball.... well... of course I fell la... but before I fell, the momentum was so great that I cannot stop myself from continuing to run sideways.... I tired to balance myself... more than 2 times I think.... I knew I gonna fall but I just can't stop myself from falling.... so... the last postion was..... I was side lying on the floor, on my right side.... and with my left leg raised up.. i think... that's what my friend said....
The palmar side nearer to my thumb was numb for like 10-20 mins..... gosh...
Luckily all is just 皮外伤。。。。。
But the impact was very great when I fell... I can feel it... there was even this few seconds of thoughts that I may not be able to get up....
But overall, it was a good game.... we came in 3rd btw, out of 5 teams.... 5 PTs teams..... and us? The only OTs team....
Anyway, after the match, we had another round of friendly game. This time round, each team is made up of OTs, PTs yr 2 and yr 3..... my team had this really tall PT yr 3 guys.... who is in nyp basketball team i think..... he plays really well in the game.... not forgetting the rest in my team too.... nice game....
All these come with a price..... tiredness..... muscles aches tml..... but it is all worth it....
I was running sideway to get the ball.... well... of course I fell la... but before I fell, the momentum was so great that I cannot stop myself from continuing to run sideways.... I tired to balance myself... more than 2 times I think.... I knew I gonna fall but I just can't stop myself from falling.... so... the last postion was..... I was side lying on the floor, on my right side.... and with my left leg raised up.. i think... that's what my friend said....
The palmar side nearer to my thumb was numb for like 10-20 mins..... gosh...
Luckily all is just 皮外伤。。。。。
But the impact was very great when I fell... I can feel it... there was even this few seconds of thoughts that I may not be able to get up....
But overall, it was a good game.... we came in 3rd btw, out of 5 teams.... 5 PTs teams..... and us? The only OTs team....

visual impairment
Once again, I tasted the feeling of being blind again...... this is the second time in OT course that I was blind..... The 1st time was last year, when we were introduced to the terms - disabled, impairment and handicapped.....
HB was talking about this visually impairment man who is the president of the Disabled People's Association of Singapore. I became curious of this person and decided to check out on him.
This is what I have found:
He is Mr Ron Chandran-Dudley. He was blind at the age of 19 at a rugby accident, tarnishing his dream of becoming a brain surgeon. Luckily, with his father's encouragement, he came to term with his blindness, and decided to volunteer himself at the Singapore Association for the Blind(currently known as the Singapore Association for the visually handicapped) and later took up a degree in social anthropology at the prestigious London School of Economics (LSE) and managed to excel in it.
After his course, he returned back to Singapore with his wife and he bacame the general secretary for the Singapore Association for the Blind. After 5 years, Ron left the Singapore Association for the Blind to study vocational rehabilitation counseling and psychotherapy as a Fulbright Scholar at the State University of New York at Albany. He returned back to Singapore in 1971 and during the next 10 years, he branched out into other social services, including counselling the drug abusers and training after-care officers for the
Singapore Anti-Narcotics Association.

Finally it's over
It's over FINALLY..... at 09 00hrs....
I had submitted my creativity assignment... after so much effort put in..... was pasting the stuff into my book since 7pm yesterday.. and I only finished all at 2+am.... gosh...
I had submitted my creativity assignment... after so much effort put in..... was pasting the stuff into my book since 7pm yesterday.. and I only finished all at 2+am.... gosh...
Spending so much time and effort, at the end of the day,
is it still worth it?
Well, after some thoughts,
In life, whatever effort we put in, we will never get back the same amount.
And often than not, it is always lesser.
The most important thing is not the product but the process......
Don't expect too much
and you will be contented.
期望越高，
失望越大。
Well, today, I overslept. 1 alarm clock, 1 handphone alarm and 2 handphone reminders can't seems to wake me up.....
The strange thing is that, I had switched off my alarm clock and my hp alarm and reminders.... without me knowing it.... and the thing is I have to actually get up my bed to off my alarm clock.... but I can't seems to remember I have done any of these.....
Waking up at 7.30am means that I will be late for discussion with Jo (my intro to mental health lecturer) and even if there was no discussion, I will still be unable to meet the 09 00hrs deadline if I were to take a bus to school..... therefore, I have to resort in taking a cab..... $12.70.... inclusive of $1 charge for peak hours......
Throughout the ride, I can't seem to contact any of my group members.... my phone has no reception.... then it became low batt.... dunno if the problem lies with my phone, the sim card or the service provider....
And the worst of all, the discussion with Jo supposed to be on thu instead of today..... which I already suspected is thurs....
anway, still managed to have a discussion with her today.....
at least one good thing about today.... I do not need to go to school early on thu.....
another good news... I finished school at 11am tml!!!
my phone is back to operation at 12noon today..... revived from a intense CPR by me... hopefully it don't get a heart attack again.... if not, I think I will get mine too.... ;p
Hopefully there are more good happenings to me......
Addendum: Thanks to those who contributed to my assigments, esp. Adrian who tried to email me back despite your busy schedule. Thanks to Murni, Zub and Zhenru too..... Not forgetting Stephen too.... thanks babes and dudes for ya help!!!

Daylight robbery
I was at the regional library just now. Wanted to print my creativity assignment.... no other place near my house am I able to print them.
So I went to the nearest library to my home one of course..... At the same time, I went to return my OVERDUE library books..... those that I borrowed for my stitching of soft toy....
Then I came to know that I have to pay $0.30 if I want to print a A4 document.... and it is only black and white.... $0.30 for a page!!! This is 6 times the amount I have to pay in NYP!
Imagine I have 9 pages to print.... and it is $2.70.... whereas I only need to pay $0.45 back in NYP.....
Gosh..... decided not to print at the library.... went to challenger instead.... thinking whether to get a new ink catridge or not.... in the end, I decided not to purchase my bus concession yet... thou it expires yesterday.....so use that money to buy the ink catridge... bought a colour one... so that I can print black and white too... thou it is wasteful to print black and white using colour ink.... this is the best option that I can think of at the moment.... I wouldn't want to risk printing them and doing it tomorrow in school.... 09 00hrs is the deadline.... to risky....
Suddenly, it reminds me of my college times.... how fortunate I am to be a Computer Science student (in case you all don't know, I took comp sci as my A level subject). We have a whole computer lab and a tutorial room (which became our study room during the A level) to ourselves..... P4 processor..... air-con room..... free printing...... free gaming place (when we got tired of studying during our As.. we will go over from the tutorial room to the comp lab...I am not the gaming type of person... but that time I do play yahoo pool and mahjong).....
It suddenly reminds me how fortunate I am then.....

4th biennual General Meeting
Yesterday was Tampines Central Youth Executive Committee (YEC) aka youth group 4th Biennual general meeting. This is when the 3rd term committee is dissolved and the 4th term committee being elected.
With a blink of an eye, this is my 3rd term serving.... came into the committee at the age of 16.....
This year, it is walked over again... so all of us are elected into the committee, without any election.
After the BGM, we had our office-bearers meeting where we either choose the post or being proposed by others. FYI, to be the main office-bearers, we had to be 21 years old and above.....
As my signature is different each time and I am still under 21 at the moment.... I didn't want to be treassurer.... so our treassurer will still be jeff.....
I was deciding between the post of adventure secretarial or community service secretarial.....
I had been a adventure secretarial for all my terms..... but anyway, we can still organize activity that is outside our portfoilio..... ;p
Heard that the one who took up the community service secretarial portfoilio actually wanted adventure secretarial ....
Mmm... maybe she can be the assistant adventure secretarial and I can be assistant community service secretarial.... lolz.... shall see the 1st meeting how ba....
After the meeting, we went to changi for some drinks (coffeessss and some alcholic drinks)
Didn't know that above the Changi Point Ferry Terminal (this is the new changi jetty) has such a place.... the atmosphere is not bad.... a nice place to chat... I don't really like to go to places like disco... 'cos it is simply too loud... and I am too rigid to dance....and I don't really like techno songs....
I like places that are a good place for chat.... plays nice songs (any, except techno...).... nice lighting(no need to be indoor with those expensive lights.... yesterday's was an outdoor concept.... with a candle-lamp.... and of course... star-light... ;p).....
Reached home around 2+....... took a bath.... and was too tired to blog....
Addendum: Thanks Mickey for yesterday.... really appreciate that... ;p

Creative Activity , Crea-tivity
Creativity Assignments to be handed up on Monday, 09 00hrs......
Guess it will be too boring for you guys if I were to tell you what I will be writing in my assignment.... so I am not going to do so... but well, this time round, we don't have to follow the NYP Presentation Guidelines!!!! But I guess, still have to do in-text citation and references.....
so.. I am going to present my assignment in a scrap book format.... printed the pictures of my soft toys... just need to finish up my written assignment and get it printed outside (no more ink @ home) and gonna cut and paste into the "man-made" scrap book that is half-way done.... and so coincidently that the construction paper is called/branded "Creativity paper".
Below are the photos of the "soft toy" that I have done... wanted to do teddy bears one... but too time consuming.... but well.. one is on the way... but I think I am not gonna to include that for my assignment. The bear still lack a body, 2 legs, 2 arms and 2 forarms.....
Enjoy....
P.S: Please feel free to give any comments too....

My 1st product: an ugly fish
(made with banner cloth and stuffed with TOILET PAPERs)
2nd product: X-factor?
(no lah.... it's my inital.. XL.... didn't do the L thou)
3rd product: Blue heart with pink love
4th product: Pinky E with Blue Evelyn
5th product: Orangy A with brown Adrian
Anyway, if you all didn't know, from product 2 onwards, I uses felt and stuffed them with some wool type material... not exactly know what is the material...
Product 1 is stuffed with toilet paper and made with cloth is based on the assumption that client does not know about sewing and needs to explore on it 1st, without knowing what material to use,etc....
P.S: The last 2 weren't meant to be part of my creativty assignment. They were made as token of appreciation in mind in the first place.... but I came to realize that I have nothing much to write if I do not include them in....
The therapeutic potential in the last two can be self-expression, which I can add into my report. Then I can say that by doing it for someone in mind to give to, it can provide intrinsic motivation for the clients and thus increase the rate of recovery. =p

Back to school
Today, I went back to school again... this is the 3rd times I went to school. Other than monday, I have been going to school everyday. The same goes for tml... Even monday was a school event....
Term break? No.....
Did I say why I go back to school today?
I went to practise my moblilty (one of my modules). I was practising my wheelchair mobility and I decided to go to the North Canteen to get myself a drink. I wheelled myself to the 2nd level( I was at the 5th level and I took a lift of course). Then, at the canteen, I decided to see what I want to buy and I stood up. The gal in front of me was shocked!! I must have frightened her....
Tml... erm... later is the trial exam.... I guess I will not be able to answer the questions... but it will not matter I guess..... Cause my objective of going later is to have a feel how the practicals and examinations will be conducted.
That's all for now.....

Happy Teachers' Day
Happy Teachers' Day to anyone who teaches......
I was invited to the Ngee Ann Secondary Annual Teachers' Day Dinner. Ngee Ann Primary teachers were there as well. Both Ngee Ann Primary and Secondary falls under Ngee Ann Kongsi.
I was quite inspired by what the Principal of Ngee Ann Primary School says during her speech:

" You can count the number of seeds in an apple.But you cannot count the number of apples from a seed."
Mr Richard Lee was there too. I always remember him as the tall man since I was in secondary school. He was always present during Speech Day aka award presentation day back in NASS.
oh ya, he was the one who gave out the first few top prizes for the lucky draw and guess what?? The lucky draw number that he drew for the 1st prize was his!!! And before that, he jokingly said that:
" Every year the primary school teachers will ask me to draw from primary school and the secondary school teachers will ask me to draw from the secondary school. Today, I shall keep the prize for myself."
He was shocked too. He donated out the 1st prize which is a mp3 if I am not wrong.... worth $400.....
That's all folk! Some pictures to share....
Ridzwan, Lup Peng and me
Me and Lup Peng
ME!!
Addendum: Happy Teachers' Day to Zac. Thanks for all the things that you have taught us....
Thanks to A and E for being so patience with us during the sign language practice. =P
Thanks to people like Danping, Yurong, Nicole, San San, Wendy, Ai Ching... who has taught me alot of things few years back....
Thanks to others who has teaches me before, may it be a hard skill or soft skill or even way of life....
Without you all, there wouldn't be the current me....
Happy Teachers' Day, once again.
