My Numerology from Astrology.com

True or not:

Ordinary life, living just for oneself and one's own personal happiness, will never be enough for you. Deep inside you identify with all of humankind and you are strongly concerned with collective issues. What we experience in common - the major victories and tragedies of our times, and especially the expansion of consciousness and understanding - is very important to you. You have strong spiritual inclinations and your intuitive and ESP abilities are very developed.

You are an idealist and a reformer at heart, and can be intolerant and even scornful of those who do not share your views on life. Human weaknesses and needs are something you don't always have much sensitivity about.

OT Glossary - Abbreviations, Acronyms and Mini-Dictionary

I was researching some stuff when I came across this:

OT Glossary - Abbreviations, Acronyms and Mini-Dictionary

Please take alook....and see if it helps (esp. OT students who have problems in the Abbreviations that the doctors are using.)

Blogging

I just realized that I have been blogging alot for the past one week..... at least 1 entry per day I guess.

haha.... guess I haven't been blogging for alot since my CE3A placement due to clients' confidentiality..... although there are some interesting things that happened in CE3A, some are just not meant to be blog to protect all involved.... though it can be interesting to share... lol.... perhaps it can be through "word of mouth" if you ask me la.... lol.... but well, I do "store" it somewhere in my comp for future viewing and memories. ^_^

I can't really remember what is the reason that cause me to start blogging.... was it the trend during that time? I can't remember..... but the reasons why I continue to blog is because:

• to let my friends who I cannot meet up to know about how and what have I been doing
• to share with people about certain issues
• a land of memmories
• a place to reflect on my feelings and thoughts
• a place to 发牢骚
• to share what OT does (new reason)
• more......

I believe there are more reasons that keeps me blogging for so long....

Did I say that I enjoy reading blogs too?

Sometimes it is really amazing to see another perspectives of your friends through their blogs.....

Their feelings..... their real self...... their life stories that we never know.....

Blogs also bring a person closer to one another..... 'cos although you may not have seen the person/met up with the person for sometime, you can still feel close to the person and you know,

" She/he is doing fine."

And friends, as days progress, I will have more project meetings and discussions and thus may have lesser time to leave an entry here..... but no worries..... I will still come in at least once a week to blog on my happenings..... Cos blogging has become a leisure now....

Though I may not blog that often once I get busier, I will still take my time off to read my friends blog.... so... please update your blog!!! hehe.....

Inspiration Quote

There was a OT learning Community for OT student. The invited speaker was Sid, our 1 yr senior. Currently, he is an OT in a private setting for pediatrics.

He was invited back to talk to us about his CE3C overseas placement where he had this opportunity to work with AIDS/HIV patients in Australia.

In his slide, there was this quote where I like very much.

"Human beings have the power and ability to change and transform anything into possiblity."

- Pizzi, 1990

I thought this quote is inspiring and motivating..... so like to share with one and all.... ;)

Final Year Project (FYP) - Research Paper

Today, I got the topic for my research paper :

" Investigation of parents' perspectives towards support group for ASD children."

There is also a research topic that is so near yet so far away from my dream. And the topic goes something like that:

"Sports and recreations for ID and physical disabled."

Hmm.... Now knowing the research topic, got to do alot of research, literature review and guess that simply means more and more time in library and more meetings......

Got to meet up NYP supervisor on Friday too... to let her know how's our discussions going along.....

N.E.X.T Challenge on Wheels @ Marina South

I (Tampines Central YEC) was stationed at Marina South for N.E.X.T Challenge on Wheels organized by NorthEast YECs.

We went to People's Association (PA) first before setting off to the station we were manning.

We got the t-shirts for organizers. It was soooooooooooooooo big can........
And guess what? sizes were submitted beforehand...... and they can tell us no sizes (left with XL, XXL and XXXL). If such a case, then why ask for sizes in the 1st place?? haiz....

Big Big shirt

We had 2 compulsory games and 2 optionals.

The 2 compulsory games are : PAYM “Da Vinci” Code and Game of Sudoku.

For Da Vinci Code, participants are to get the clue from the main station to get to the next venue where there are clues to the next one......

For Game of Sudoku, they are supposed to complete the squares.....

And for optional, it was photo hunt and drinking of wasabi drink.

Hmm.... I was in-charge of the photo hunt!!!!

This is the rule of the game:

And well, I decided to play the game myself too :

More photos will be uploaded once I get a copy of it too....

Cooking and Mahjong session *update*

Last Saturday, 22 July, J@ce , Hui2 and me, we cooked a meal for ourselves.

Guess what we had?? keke.....

Lunch: grill chicken with cheese (jace) , Fried udon and soup udon (xL), potatoe salad (Hui2)

Nice issit it?? (photos will be uploaded at this entry after I have a copy of it)
Serene joined us soon after we had finished cooking.

The food was very filling...... and delicious... how can it not be delicious? ^_^




After lunch, we started our mahjong session.

During the game, I tried to "get" 十三么......

My tiles initially

But the best I can get in the end is:

Well, the game ended when Feran came over. So we settle the "account" first. And well, I lost $3.70.

Another round of majong session started with players - Feran, Serene, Jace and me.

Hmm... we played from living room to the maid's room as Hui2 family is going to have dinner later. As we were lazy, we just lift the mahjong table up and tring to shift into the maid's room. We managed to "squeeze" through the door but there are far more obstacles along the way that we had to keeps the tiles, close the table and move the table. That is the lesson learnt for being lazy. (photos of our laziness will br posted up too.)

Before dinner, I was losing... but soon after dinner, my luck seems to be much better or I can think better? But then again, isn't most of the blood used to help in digestion? haha...

anyway, if i win, i win small small.... but when I lose.... I lose big big... and I feed my adjacent opponent!!! haiz....

So in the end of the session, I lost $0.20. Total adds up to: $ 3.90.

To conclude, we had a fun time cooking and eating. =)

It is a form of therapy for me too.... and leisure activity!

We had fun playing mahjong too, not because of the money but because it is challenging. It requires a lot of attention span, good memory, visual-motor coordination, good postural control (cos the chairs do not have back rest....) and more.....

Of cos, we must not have dysfunction in termination of activity.... if not.... haha....

Opps... paiseh... it is already 1+am.... hahA..... well..... it is good to use such terminology during daily life... so that it can facilitate learning and memory... lol

Hehe..... mahjong is good for elderly toooo....

(Please refer to my past entry on Mahjong- More than a game for the elderly )

Today, while on the way to our station for our N.E.X.T Challenge, at marina south, we came cross 大长今 restaurant!!!!

Bringing the Profession to great Heights

Last night, as usual, my brain don't get to rest even up to the time when I am preparing to sleep.

I was thinking, perhaps, maybe, there could be some OTs out there who can take part in National competitions, may it be sports, arts or music... whichever, as individuals or in groups, and well, try to achieve good results in it. Then, people will know what is OT then. LoL....

And well, I was wondering if we are little closer to our dreams

Community Long Service Award 2006

I was preparing to sleep when I saw this letter on my bed and thought that I would like to share my joy with you all......

Today, I received a (formal) letter from the Community Centre (CC) that I have volunteered in since 2001, though I had received a call on Tuesday by the CC staff and I am suppose to call on Wednesday to confirm my attendance to receive the award in conjection with the CC's National Day Dinner, which I yet to do it. But anyway,

This is the starting of the letter.......

"Dear Miss Quek,

Congratulations! We are please to inform you that you are being awarded the Community 5-Years Long Service Award under the Tampines Central CC YEC."

Oh.... with a blink of the eye..... I had served for 5 years in Tampines CC YEC!!! Time passes so fast....

I wondered when will NPCC ever give long service award to CIs too.... lol....

Change abit of the layout

I have changed abit of the layout.


I have removed the section on "Friend's Blog" as some of my friends' blog is either pronounced dead or has been changed to other URL.

Thus, I have decided to change it to OT related website/blog as most of my "viewers" are OT related. =)
Even you are not, then you can know more about OT NOW....
lol....

There are OT search engines...... some blogs by overseas OTs about their practice, e.g. ABC Therapeutic Weblog, Blog on Joy of Austism, Meta-OT.

There are also Mr Brown's Blog. He is a famous blogger in Singapore. He has a austic child called Faith. Sometimes Mr Brown will blog about her developmental progress.

Enjoy!
