Heaty and Herbal Tea
My lips were extremely dry.... cracked.....
And the ulcer on my lower lip hurts (1st ulcer formed when 1 bite my lip last week. On thurs.... I bite on the same location when i ate my almond chocos.... it hurts badly man....)
I seriously need a bottle of hearbal tea.... i missed my daily dosage.... haha...
I walked past the medical hall this evening on the way home.... and wanted to get myself a bottle of herbal tea and I heard this on my mind,
" Herbal tea not good to drink cold one."
职能治疗 OR 职业治疗
Last few weeks, I was concerned regarding the chinese term for occupational therapy.
And I remembered that there is a copy of newsletter that has an article that wrote about OT in that particular newsletter. And I also remembered that there is chinese version of that newsletter. Thus, I went to take a look to see if there is a chinse term for OT. To my dismay, it was 职业治疗!
Now, I am confused. To whether it is 职能治疗 or 职业治疗...... OR are the both terms acceptable? If not, which shd be the correct one?
Can someone (readers from china, taiwan, hong kong, etc ) pls advise??!?! =)
In other news, coincidencely, I saw what LPK stands for in chinese. =) But it was alittle too late to be discovered.
VCDs
Okay..... since Break week is here.... I am going to relax myself with VCDs!!!!
These are the VCDs I hope to watch (in no particular order)
最后之舞 ( korean)- 我叫金三顺 ( korean)
- Helen, the baby fox (Japanese)
Quill (Guide dog - Japanese)- I am Sam (English)
- Rory O'Shea was here also know as Inside I am dancing(English)
- Mozart and the whale (English)
Of which, the last 2 is recommended by CSM... which is currently shown on CH58 of SCV which I don't have!!! And Rory O'Shea was here is one of the movies that I have been finding... maybe... can go and check it out at VCDs rental shops.....
And if you noticed (if you know that the movies are abt) the last 4 movies are all related to disabilities..... ;)
If you all have the above... pls msg me!!! or if you wish to watch the above... pls msg me too...so that maybe we can watch together... haha... ;)

BrEaK WeEEEkkk

Kendra - 1st Guide Dog in Singapore!
Today, we were very fortunate to have Mr Kua Cheng Hock, 1st person in Singapore to own a guide dogto speak to us @ OT Learning Community.
Mr Kua Cheng Hock, who is born blind, gets around with his golden retriever - Kendra.
Kendra is 3 years old now. Kendra has travelled 3 times to U.S (much more fortunate than me...)
It is very inspiring to listen to Mr Kua and how much he did to help other people with visual impairments and how he helps to advocate for himself and others. And I believe there's alot that we can do as OTs to help clients with visual disability.
Hope to see more guide dogs in Singapore!
(hmm.... maybe can get Singaporeans to go overseas for trainer course.... then can come back and train the dogs.... then will have more guide dogs.... )
Updates!
It has been along week.....
If you didn't know what I've been up to for the past few days.... these are the updates....
In prep x (for.. hehe..) august babies celebrations on 23 aug..... I am tasked by the welfare rep to buy present for lukewarmcoffee.... was suppose to get hui2 present too.... in the end... it was purchase by lukewarmcoffee..... =)
August babies.... on their actual days and the august babies celebration:
(sorry.... don't have pam's one....)
"Maria"'s 21st - 18th August
How I got the present for lukewarmcoffee
I was suppose to get present for hui2..... then in the end, we wanted the bags ourselves too... cos the bag was so ergo.... it has padding on the sling... (职业病) ... in the end, we didn't get the present... cos we wanted to sound hui2 out... I was bluffing hui2 that I am getting for lukewarmcoffee and visa versa..... see how clever I am? LOL.....
AND on 8 AUG.... lukewarmcoffee went back to the shop and sms me that the GREEN bag was sold out but pink is still availabe.... this shows that she likes the bag.... ;) (clinical reasoning.... haha... )
Last week, we were suppose to look for present for "Maria" and in the end... we went to NTUC to buy our own food.... hehe.... and this lukewarmcoffee wanted to buy this biscuits but it was expensive (save $$....) and I thought it could be a good present for her... lol...
AND SO.... I got her a bag and the biscuits..... ain't me CLIENT-CENTRED?? haha.... not I say one la.... lukewarmcoffee said it herself.... (hahaha....)
Last 3 days
I volunteered to do bday wishes for hui2.... hehe.... and guess what I made??
I made poker cards.... with wishes... and photos.....
hehe..... and my sense of schievements .......
Babe poker cards
Babe poker cards 2
Babe poker cards 3
Babe poker cards 4
Piglet with the Babe
Piggy in the center
Babe in the Centre
Ms Piggy with Piget
Guess how long I took?
3 nights.... compiling... cutting... and I only laminated with scotch tape yesterday night (took back the cards from hui2.... haha... ;) )
AND... do you all know that the cards can really be played??? It is so functional.... and client centred too... lolz.... cos .... our Ms Ong play DAI-DEE!!! haha....
I can't believe how creative I am... WaHahaha.....
Don't you think so?

Plans after NYP
okay... I have decided....
To start working after completion of education in NYP.... I will put my further studies for a hold 1st..... until I save enough money(may it be onshore or offshore) to support myself and my parents.....
Met one of my relatives in the lift the other day.... she was asking when I am graduating..... and that I can support my parents once I graduate as my dad is alrdy so old... my dad is turning 62 this yr btw..... and still working hard physically.... as a odd job labourer.....
hmmm... and guess my brother haven't been really contributing though he is alrdy working for so many years..... don't even know if he saves any money for his future..... maybe he does have current acct... I don't wish to know anyway....
Ya.... so my degree will be put on hold.... I don't know how many years... but.... maybe in the end, I may no longer needs it. =)
