Updates

Yeah.... I am here for some updates.... been busy... or rather, too lazy to update, not as diligent as I used to be as compared as when I was a student. The number of posts here seems to have reduced tremendously... but well.... I'll try... so please bear with me for now....

Maybe I'll update on my work stuff:

1. Happy 6th month anniversary to myself, with SPD.....
   
2. Seeing more clients now, as compared to June when I just joined.... there's definitely lesser breathing space... but I believe there still is some for me.... hehe...
3. Enjoy my therapy time with my clients.... and with most of my colleagues as well....
   
4. Going on leave soon... for a break....
   

Ms Yiwei is back!

Our dear Ms Yiwei is back from Aussie... and Zub, Shuhui, Weiting, me and Yiwei had a gathering dinner at PS.... as usual.... we go to secret recipe.... had a great dinner.... laughing like nobody business over gossips...

As it was Friday night.... Yiwei and me decided to walk walk before we went home.... we strolled to ORchard.... it supposed to be late night shopping as it was a last friday of the month... but most shops seemed to be closed.... ya... so we walked and decided to stop by to talk..... guess we are all old liao.... need to take a rest.... haha.... then left at 11+ before we all missed our last train/bus....

Looking forward for our class gathering soon..... our taiwan gang can also meet up too..... maybe we should get a nicer name instead of calling ourselves taiwan gang.... lolz


23rd Birthday

Counting down to my birthday... ... 4 more days... don't have any plans yet... see how thing goes ba... got to work on my birthday too and the day after.... but taken off on 12 - 14 December.... plus weekends... I am free from 12 - 16 December!!! Anyone too freeeee.... nothing to do? Please sms me..... but 14 December should be having my class steamboat at our "Maria" house... looking fwd for the gathering... cum mahjong cum gossip sessions...

Since I already started working.... I thought of pampering myself for my 1st birthday on my 1st job....

1. Hair Rebonding
2. Eyebrows trimming?
   
3. Pitstop cafe?
4. Facial?
5. 1 new pants + blouse

Have been saving up for the past months.... but come to think of it.... I should pamper myself once in a while... money are saved for rainy days.... but what if it never rain at all? ;)

Hmm... sometimes it is during such "personal day" where you will think about soulmate.... Well, I know I have my friends and family around... but sometimes you just wish to have this particular soulmate around to share joys and woes with you... ... I know I will meet him one day...

I believe.....

haha.... just hope that it will not be during the time where I have 3 big candles on my cake... wahaha...

Nevertheless.... it is still good to be single... =)

Relationship Questions

Every Tuesday, the younger clients at my side will come for therapy....

There is this client who will always ask us questions regarding relationships, love.... etc....

These are some of the questions that he had asked us.... different answers were given.... different views from guys n gals.... Maybe you all can share your views too.... just click on the comments... and answer them! =)

1) Will you kiss a guy/gal on the first date?
2) Will you hold a guy's/gal hand on the first date?
3) What will you do when the guy wants to kiss you? Will you turn away?
4) Can guy and gal be buddy only and nothing more?
5) You have so many guy friends, why you don't have bf?


My answer:
1) and 2) No. I would not make the 1st move, even if I may like the guy. Reason being I don't know how the guy feels about me. I would not want to risk losing a friend.
3) Depends. Whether I like to guy or not. I may just look at his eyes and smile? =)
4) Yes. Friendship does exist between girl and guy... not just BGR.
5) Well, chemistry is very important. Some can only be friends... and it takes 2 hands to clap to be in a relationship. =)

Some other answers from others:
Client A (a gal) has the same answer as me.

Client B (a guy):
1) YES. Who pay for the dinner? (lolz.... I can't believe this was the answer....)

How about you guys? (and gals of course) =)

Looking back... Walking forward...

I have always wondered and I guess many of you too, what would life be if 3 yrs ago we didn't choose to study occupational therapy?

Would I be an engineer now? lol... Do you all see me as an engineer?

Or would I be a police officer in SPF? I think that's more likely ya?

But then again, when I see some of my clients.... and how appreciative they are of us, I can't help but think and FEEL that I have made the right choice.... I'm glad that I am of help to them...

Well, on the other hand, when I see my JC classmates doing well and earning far more than us... and I'm sure we will ask ourselves "why are we not earning as much?" It is not that we are not as good or educated as them..... hey... we have scholars in our course who have 4As in their A level leh.... It is that dishearthening la... maybe that's why they say salaries that we earn are always very sensitive to be disclosed... but that doesn't reflect the jobs that we do...

haha.... even my clients also think that we are earning lesser than we should be paid.... =p
Maybe, one day.... the people who determine the starting pay of allied health professionals should do something....

If not.... wait for me to be one la... lolz.... just kidding.... ;)

But I'm glad that most of my clients are appreciative of what we do... afterall, it is these little things that make us enjoy what we are doing....

你那么爱她

直到爱消失你才懂得
去珍惜身边每个 每好风景
只是她早已离去

直到你相逢他早已经
不在对你留恋
最后的你 开始了一段挣扎

你那么爱她
为什么不把她留下
为什么不说心里话
你深爱她
这是每个人都知道啊
你那么爱她
为什么不把她留下
是不是你有深爱的两个她
所以你不想再让自己无法自拔

Grow old with you by Adam Sandler

[Billy Idol (Speaking):] Good afternoon everyone.
We're flying at 26,000 feet, moving
up to thirty thousand feet, and then we've got clear skies
all the way to Las Vegas, and right now we're bringing you some in-flight
entertainment. One of our first-class passengers would like to sing you a song
inspired by one of our coach passengers, and since we let our first-class
passengers do pretty much whatever they want, here he is.

[Robbie Hart (Singing):]
I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you

I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches
Build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growing old with you

I'll miss you
Kiss you
Give you my coat when you are cold

Need you
Feed you
Even let ya hold the remote control

So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed if you've had too much to drink
I could be the man who grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you

Words of Wisdom from songs?

Both the following songs were heard at the charity show for cancer patients..... seems very meaningful to me.... Songs are in hokkien..... so it may vary from the actually meaning in chinese..... =)

歡喜就好

作詞：吳嘉祥　作曲：吳嘉祥
　
人生海海　甘需要攏了解　有時仔清醒　有時青菜
有人講好　一定有人講歹　若麥想嚇多　咱生活卡自在

歸工嫌車無夠叭　嫌厝無夠大　嫌菜煮了無好吃　嫌某尚歹看
駛到好車驚人偷　大厝歹拼掃　吃甲尚好驚血壓高　美某會兌人走

人生短短　好親像塊七逃　有時仔煩惱　有時輕可
問我到底　腹內有啥法寶　其實無撇步　歡喜就好


隨緣

作詞：陳百潭　作曲：陳百潭　編曲：徐嘉良

有緣無緣這一切隨緣凡事都放乎自然
無真無實的愛情緊變若夢醒　　就隨時再見
有緣無緣這一切隨緣凡事都放乎自然
人生路上有足多發展又何必在情路流璉
命中若注定是咱的　愛寶惜著這段良緣
反倒轉若不是咱的甭白目來製造孽緣
有緣無緣這一切隨緣凡事都放乎自然
人生路上有足多發展又何必在情路流璉

Who say clients learn from us?

Who says client learn things from us only? More often than not, we do learn alot of things from our clients - Life experience/Words of Wisdom.

Client A:

"It is good to save but save comfortably. Not till the stage where you stuff yourself with bread."

"Do not force yourself to run when you cannot run. If you cannot run this time, there is always another time. If you force yourself and something happens to you, there may not even have a next time."

Client B:

"It is important to find someone who you know when you wake up the next morning, will still be your wife(beside you), and not someone(only pretty on the outside) who you never know whether she will be beside you the next morning when you wake up."

Client C:

"If you can marry early, marry early and give birth early. Then, when your children grow up, you are still not that old."

********************************************************

Sun in Sagittarius:

Optimistic and freedom loving, you have an inborn sense of adventure and a zest for living. Sagittarius energy represents anything that takes one beyond normal boundaries. You appreciate the great outdoors because of the wide-open spaces and freedom it brings.

The real you can be quite idealistic and philosophical about life. Accepting and understanding abstract ideas and theories is natural for you. You seek truth and are basically very honest. Because of your willingness to "say what you see," this sign has earned a reputation for being somewhat blunt. As far as you're concerned there's no reason to beat around the bush when you can always take the direct and truthful approach. You would never willingly hurt someone's feelings, but try to remember that others may not be prepared to accept your well-meaning honesty. You can be quite gullible because you tend to accept things at face value. You expect the same honesty from others that you yourself express

********************************************************

Which Hairstyle Matches You?

My Result: Sweet and Subtle

It shouldn't be too surprising to hear people think you're a sweetheart. Laidback and easygoing, you know when it comes right down to it, how you treat others is what counts. So, it's no wonder your signature hairstyle should be as natural and unpretentious as you.


With your big heart and fun spirit, you'd probably rather spend your time hanging out with friends than primping in the mirror. Why fuss if you don't have to, especially when it gives you more time to laugh and enjoy the moment? Whether you're blonde, brunette, or something in-between, your hairstyle is bound to be as bright and sunny as you are!

What's Your Financial Forecast?

My Result: Promising

It looks like the financial weatherperson is predicting mostly sunny skies for you. Grounded and smart, you know a penny saved is a penny earned. But that doesn't mean you don't know how to enjoy life and splurge on something nice for yourself every once in a while.


You believe a little give-and-take is the key to long-term financial success. And this levelheaded attitude helps you maintain the delicate balance between spending now and saving for later. Keep up the good work!

Take this test >

What's Your Morning Personality?

My Result: Dreaming of More Sleep

Maybe you work the late shift. Or perhaps you're a confirmed night owl. Whatever the case, you're typically off in dreamland come daylight. For late risers like you, the snooze button just isn't going to cut it. When that alarm goes off, you'd rather get a few more hours of sleep in than get up.


We'd guess you're at your most productive later in the day rather than first thing in the morning. While some people can function on minimal hours of sleep, perhaps you need a little extra shuteye. After all, extra beauty sleep could be just what the doctor ordered. So dream on, sleepyhead!

The Colors of Love Test

My Result: Caring Partner

You value the special bond love can create and are likely to seek out someone who cherishes that deep connection too. Whether single or in a relationship, you're a compassionate person who cares about others. This strong people-sense makes you more skilled than most at understanding individuals' differences and reading others' moods. Above all, you're looking for a steadfast, loyal partner who you can trust to stand by you in good times and bad.
