Last week of clinicals

This is going to be the last week of clinicals.

And I am going to see the kids for the last time. I have prepared some gifts for them.







Oh, there is this very sweet parent who got me a christmas gift. She was worried that she won't be seeing me again as she won't be coming the next 2 weeks. So, she gave me in advance.

Thanks for the gift. I have never expect a gift from anyone.



Oh.... there was another cheeky boy......

I was telling his mother that this week will be my last time seeing his son.... and he told the son that the coming week will be my last session with him..... and he asked me when I went near him,

"Next week your last episode ah?"

Following that, he asked:

"Will you miss me?"

Then the mother asked him if I will miss him.

The boy replied something like this,

"She will miss me."

Then cheeky me asked,

"Will you miss me?"

Cheeky boy will always be a cheeky boy.....

He said,

"No." but turning his face away, with a smile.

FYI he is just a 2+ turning 3 boy.....

In another session,

I was telling another parent the same thing.... and this time round, my client is a little gal.
Her reply was she will miss me..... gal will always be more thoughful and sweeter than boys... =)

Learners and Teachers

I was talking to Luppy regarding some learning and teaching stuff, and this phrase that I read somewhere came out from me into the MSN conversation:

"If someone cannot learn the way we teach them, maybe we should teach the way that they learn best."

Maybe, educators should try to teach the way that learners learn best. But on the other hand, if that is the case, learners will not try to initiate their own learning as they will know that educators will provide all for them.

Thus, in conclusion, there should always be a balance of both. =)

Dream of a seagull

My foot does not separate from the ground;
I'm simply afraid,
I'm afraid to fly to the sky.
Because I'm used to the ground,
Sky is an unfamiliar place.

Don't I have the wings?
Don't I have the dream of before?
Am I not the dreamer,
The dreamer of before?

CRD over @ my clincial placement

My CRD is finally over @ clincial placement.....

Not too bad.... quite okay la.....

Just got to make some changes regarding the comments that the clinicians made and also update on the assessment that I have conducted today!

14 more days to go!

Gambatte OTties!

阳光总在风雨后

在这段的实习期间，心情象潮水般，此起彼伏 。。。
有时高潮，有时低潮 。。。
看的小孩的情绪也象天气般的变幻莫测 。。。
有时阳光普照，有时乌云密布，
有时却又晴天霹雳 ，下起了一场大雨 。。。


希望在一切结束之前，有个阳光普照，高潮的一天。

因为，

“ 阳光总在风雨后 。。。 。。。”

Education/Learning

Since most of us (OTties) are having our mid-eval now..... I have a quote for you all.... and of course for me, myself:

“The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.”

We have 4 more weeks to go..... jiayou!

Let us all continue our strengths and work on our weakness/es!

Yesterday, today, tomorrow

" I cannot change yesterday but I can make the most of today and look with hope towards tomorrow."

Korean dramas and songs

Oh... I think I am so in love with korean dramas and songs now.....

Korean songs and dramas are always so emotional.... haha... but I like it... ;-)

Maybe, we should all go and learn abit of korean so that we can watch the dramas without subtitles.... right?

haha.... all of my friends who are currently crazy about goong now.... maybe can consider my suggestions.... lol.... ;-)

Goong OST: I'm a fool

I was a fool. I was a fool.

My regrets were too late too. I know that it can't be turned back.
I know that I can't see you too.
I was so wrong, I'm so sorry.
I didn't get to say then, instead I was just being rotten.
So I'm here now pleading for forgiveness with worry

I'm a fool
Because of my pride I'm ruining myself with alcohol
and the bitter taste of cigarette smoke.
I cry my eyes out all day because I still love you
You and I, we both are like fools.

Don't be like that, think about it.
Think about what it took us to get here
Think about it again, you're going to regret it.
I was so wrong, I'm really sorry
I didn't get a chance to say then, instead I was just being rotten.
So I'm here now pleading for forgiveness with worry

I'm a fool
Because of my pride I'm ruining myeslf with alcohol
and the bitter taste of cigarette smoke.
I cry my eyes out all day because I still love you
You and I, we both are like fools.

I can't live a moment without you.
I still cry even no matter how I drink or if I cut my hair.

I'm a fool
Because of my pride I'm ruining myself with alcohol
and the bitter taste of cigarette smoke.
I cry my eyes out all day because I still love you
You and I, we both are like fools.

Don't ruin yourself anymore...

The other half

Today, a guest OT visited my clinical placement to know more about the place.

We chatted alittle bit with her during lunch.....

And we mentioned that it is rather traditionally that female OTs will marry either engineers or doctors.....

Hmm... I think I will want to "break" that traditions of marrying engineers .....

I think I would want someone from the helping professions tooo..... ;-)

So.... it can be social worker, doctor, PT, teachers, OT, ST, blah blah blah.....

Part of my personality report

You At Your Best
When you're in the presence of others who care about you, you relax and really shine. Supportive, safe interactions with people who believe in you are an important step in your unfolding path towards more confidence. You'll thrive in atmospheres that are calm and quiet. When you feel soothed, you can tune into your real thoughts and reactions. By creating a peaceful environment for yourself, and by slowly building up your confidence, you will be able to enter the world more fully and share the amazing person you are.

Achieving Success
You are focused on success in your life; and you define it in a variety of ways. You love the boost you get from getting credit for your work, financial rewards, achieving your personal goals, finding luck in love, having great friends and, in sum, getting what you want. You can be held back, however, by a pesky self-doubt that occasionally questions your ability to really “make it” in the world. You've never been afraid to let the world know what you have to offer. Whether it's standing up to take credit in a work scenario or letting a new person you meet get a sense of your charms right away, you know how to put your best assets front and center. A challenge for you in the area of ambition is to partner with others as you pursue your dreams. Don't let that niggling self-doubt keep you from teaming up, combining resources and sharing the trip. You'll find the rewards of being on a team or part of a duo can be felt during the process and pay off in the final reward.

Conflict
When conflicts arise for you, it's often because your sense of fairness has been offended. The frequent difference between what people deserve —whether credit, money, or happiness — and what they actually have, can be extremely galling for you. There are also times when you don't feel justly rewarded for your efforts and assets. Occasionally, there are times when it's hard for you to let go of even seemingly minor irritations. You may find yourself reacting strongly at first. But gradually you will learn to let it go.

What reallys motivates me
Safety and ease are at the heart of your motivations. You want to feel protected, accepted and safely away from drama or confusion. You're willing to work and plan in order to create a haven from life's ups and downs. Such subtle rewards are, for you, the richest ones.

My Intuition and psychic impressions

You're very intuitive when it comes to expanding your horizons. Somehow, you know which opportunities will take you to a higher level, and which will lead to dead ends.

You never hesitate to take risks for the sake of greater knowledge. At times, you pass off your successes as "lucky breaks," but there is really something more powerful at work here - your intuition.

A great way to strengthen the bond between your conscious mind and your sixth sense is by watching foreign movies with the subtitles turned off. You'll be amazed at how much you can glean without understanding a word that is uttered. The more you practice this technique, the stronger your psychic abilities will become. That's because you will be forced to tune into subliminal messages for information.

You can also apply this technique to certain real-life situations. Just tune out somebody's words and tune in to their energy instead. Traveling to foreign lands also heightens your powers of awareness.
