Deadlines, Leaves and Holidays

I had my group assignments' discussion yesterday. Just realised that we had only 9 weeks left to do 5 of our critic group assignments. On top of that, we left with 4 weeks to do our another module group assignment.

When we were trying to fix dates to meet up, I realised that we have to do our individual assignment for our occupation module. We also have 2 more onlne quizzes and 2 hurdles!

Wa Liew.....

So many things......

Anyway I took 2 days leave in October and in Novemember to do assignments. And intending to take 1-2 week in decemeber so that I can go bkk with the npcc gang.... but looking at the amount of time left and the number of assignments..... I doubt I will be able to finish the group assignments 1 week before, which I initially wanted........ sianz......

Well..... my colleague was suggesting..... "It is okay.... from now onwards..... you go and get yourself a boyfriend..... so that you can ignore them and go anytime you want with your boyfriend!" lolx..... funny..... so easily get a boyfriend meh.....

Hmmm..... anyone wants to go for holiday in December (after 14 dec i guess)??? =(

It is all worth it.....

... ... to walk 1 bus stop distance more to watch the following clip in the bus 'sTV Mobile after we came back from lunch at the central today:

I am so proud of Yip Pin Xiu! A lot of people will think that being a disabled, she cannot do this, cannot do that. But from an Occupational Therapist perspective, we would often ENLARGE their ABILITIES and MINUTE their disabilities.

I can't help but feel a sense of pride of being a Singaporean because of Pin Xiu and also the sense of achievement and happiness. I guess she has made the first step that allows the public to look at people with disabilities from another perspective.

An interview with Pin Xiu in the airport:





In another interview of Pin Xiu with CNA:




They are the voices for the people of disabilites and they should be heard. We should empower them! =D

Bias

How to reduce Bias:

1. Look at all sides of a story
2. Like what we call in qualitative research, do a triangulation, i.e. comparing infomation gathered from different sources and see if it has different results

(more points to be covered when I'm more free.)

Run

My next run is in a month's time and yet I haven't been running religiously. Last weekends, I was busy doing assignment. This weekends, I am having lesson. I guess I must start next week. But then again. It might be the wrong timing. If it is the wrong timing now...... it might be so in a month's time when I run. Hopefully not.

This coming 10km run shall prepare for my 21km run which is in December 2008. Hopefully I can be able to make it.

Gonna start training soon. How can I lose out to someone who don't participate in runs but has went to like at least 2 runs the last week? lolx....

Anyway, this watch is cool isn't it? But all good thing come with a price.

Hardwork pays off!

I just received my lecturer's email on the results and comments of my previous assignment. Remember the one that I have been burning mid-night oil for just that 5%?

Anyway I got my results back. Overall was ..........

EXCELLENT!!!!!

For the marking criteria, I scored 1 good and 3 excellents! Coolz.... Thus, I got 82/100!!!! But then again.... convert to 5%.... it is just pathetically 4.1 marks.

Oh.... did I also mention that I got my quiz result 1-2 weeks ago? I got 182.5/200! And converted to 3%... it is only 2.7 marks.

This is just the beginning.... I just wonder how long I will be able to put in that same amount of effort for the next 17 months to go..... but well... this is not a bad start..... Cause I think it seems like I am doing better than I was a student in NYP... lol.... I just need more motivation to carry on!!!

Anyway, I know what you gonna say..... this is not "Hao lian" okay.... I just wanna share the good news..... =p

I'm feeling better!!!!

Yes..... I'm feeling better after talking to you. You know who you are. =P

I know you will read this. Don't ask me how I know.... I just know it. ;P

Anyway, thanks for asking "Who you are angry with?" Are you thinking I am angry with you? haha.... just wondering.... anyway.....

I am not really angry... just confused..... disturbed.... and disappointed.... and few others indescribable feelings.....

But after that short talk..... I slept much much better last night till I almost overslept as I am too good in my sleep that I off my alarm without myself knowing it. My colleague even said I have good hair day today! lolx.....

Anyway, it's great to be talking it out to you! ;)

Thanks!

I am who I am!

What doesn't kills me makes me stronger!

DMX - Where'd you go my lord

In the name of Jesus
no weapon formed against me shall prosper (preach)
and every tongue that rises against me in judgment thou shall condemn (preach)
For this is the heritage of the servant of the lord (preach)
And that righteousness is of me says the lord (preach)
Amen
Lord give me a sign

Verse 1
I really need to talk to you lord
since the last time we talked the walk has been hard
now I know you haven't left me but I feel like I'm alone
I'm a big boy now but I'm still not grown
and Im still goin thru it the pain and the hurt
soaking up trouble like rain and the dirt
and I know only I could stop the rain
with just the mention of my saviors name
in the name of Jesus
devil I rebuke you for what I go through
and trying to make me do what I used to
but all that stops right here
as long as the lord's in my life I will have no fear
I will know no pain from the light to the dark
Imma show no shame spit it right from the heart
This is life from the start cause you held me down
and ain't nothing they can tell me know
Lord give me a sign

Hook (x1)
let me know what's on your mind let me know what I'm gonna find
it's all in time show me how to teach the mind show me how to reach the blind
lord give me a sign show me what I gots to do to bring me closer to you cause Imma go through whatever you want me to just let me know what to do lord give me a sign

Verse 2
Please show me something
I'm tired of talking to him knowing he frontin
Crying bout life ain't nothing
Cause you either be the one mad cause you trapped or the one huntin
Trapped in your own mind waiting on the lord
Or huntin with the word that cuts like a saw
the spoken word is stronger than the strongest man
carries the whole world like the strongest hand
with the trial and tribulations you never let us down
Jesus I know you here with us now Jesus I know you still with us now
keep it real with us now I wanna feel show me how please let me take your hand
guide me or walk slow but stay right beside me devils tryin to find me hide me
hold up I take that back protect me and give me the strength to fight back
Lord give me a sign

Hook (x2)
let me know what's on your mind let me know what I'm gonna find
it's all in time show me how to teach the mind show me how to reach the blind
lord give me a sign show me what I gots to do to bring me closer to you cause Imma go through whatever you want me to just let me know what to do lord give me a sign

In the name of Jesus
no weapon formed against me shall prosper (preach)

Where'd you go?
I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever
that you've been gone
Where'd you go?
I miss you so
Seems like it's been forever
that you've been gone
Please
Come back home

Don't step on my tail

Why do people always think that other people are in the wrong without even knowing what was behind certain actions?

There are always different side of a story. Yours is just a part of it and that is your perspectives and your assumptions. How much of what you know in life is actually 100% truth? How much truth is there when a person tells you something? It might be his/her perspective and his/her assumptions which what you think might be the truth. Why do one end up "listening" to someone who is not even "recognised" as reliable person to be the truth? People... ... rather believe these unreliable sources

Why do I even though of protecting others feelings and end up getting affected and hurt? Maybe I shouldn't even have those considerations and let you all get hurt on your own....

People always make too much assumptions.... NOW I really understand by that statement.

老虎不发挥， 把我当病猫。 Don't be surprise of what I can do... ... if you really going to step on my tail again.

TEAM SIngapore - Paralympians

One of my colleages went to support our 6 Paralympians on last Saturaday at Cineleisure there. A pity that I wasn't about to go due to the mad rush in my assignment. They really made us Singaporeans proud. Though not all of them has achive a medal, to me, being able to participate is already a great achievement and satisfaction for people with disabilities.

My colleague brought to office a TEAM Singapore Poster with 6 of their photos and autographs. She even gave them a hug each. It was so sweet of her.

Let me present to you.... TEAM Singapore!

道不同 不相为谋

The title says it all... ...

Assigment done

After burning so many days of mid-night oil... ... my assignment is finally done!

Sent to my lecturer only like 10 mins ago? Did so much for just a 5%-weightage assignment. More to come I tell you.

1st week of Oct we still need to submit a non-graded assignment. How great? But glad one assignment is down now. =)
