Sunny days & Starry nights ... Tuesday, July 20, 2010

I am very Thankful for everything that has happened to me this week ;)
.
I haven't had this rush for a very long time, but the past 2 days have really felt like a week. That being said, i finally have a taste of ' tired but happy'. I was delirious and running solely on happiness today. Positive emotions can really fuel your body and tide you thru' when it refuses to go on anymore. And of course, i am really really blessed to have met one good soul after another who had given me that extra bonus to carry on. I'm touched by what people have done for me, and very very appreciative. That aside, i have also learned a tremendous amount of things in these two days alone. Alot alot, so much so that i cannot believe i actually had the chance to get in touch with 'materials' like these. Maybe i should start recapping my day from day 1, monday ;)

Monday
Drowsily i woke up at 645 and headed for sengkang. I guess my barrel was not even half filled when i set off, and things really started to get challenging from there. My journey started when i met up with sheila, where i was inundated with information, very very useful ones. She handed me a schedule which overwhelmed me even more. But that schedule is really priceless and it's gonna bring me on an adventure, of which i've alr struck 2. She is really merticulous and pays attention to very great details; and she really organises things very well. She's also very very helpful , not only preparing all the necessary materials for me but also being very sensitive to fine details. That's lucky 1 , to have met a nice 'mentor' who doesn't ask things in return ;)
.
On monday, i woke on photocopying folders, files, making of resources and menial stuff for the morning. Sadly the kid who was scheduled for 230 reported sick and the PECS session had to be cancelled. Luckily i had the chance to sit in for a ST session ;) It was certainly a huge eye opener, and i could only imagine this. I have alws wanted to be in one of these and have never thought it possible to actlly be able to be seeing thigns thru' a two way mirror and meet the professional up close ;) That 's lucky 2, to be given this rare opportunity and having one of my dream answered ;)
.
Monday was actly short but very overwhelming due to my energy deficit, a very bad one. I kinda floated/drifted back home around 7 plus and just had to dug into my indescribable home cooked food for more comfort and energy. That meal was so good. that' s lucky 3, to have a family which cares deeply. Homecooked food brings such comfort that i nvr realised before.
.
Tuesday
Today is an awesome day and again, i've learnt so so so muchh and received so so so much from ppl around me. The morning started very early at 815 and i was tasked to do some tedious resource making and stuff. Things start looking up after lunch. For lunch again i'm very honoured to be lunching with a group of practising psychs and ots ;) that's lucky4, to be able to meet ppl i have alws been so curioused about. I won't say it was spectacular or anything, but it's really good to get a feel of who these ppl are.
.
After lunch comes the highlight, where i had the chance to sit in for a asd diagnosis ;) the session was almost 4 hours long and many many many things occured and many many learning points. i never had such exposure before and i must say the work is really interesting and also tedious. a lot of paper work, engagement work, communication work and work. lucky5, to be able to be part of something i never thought ever possible ;)

of course, everything isn't all red and rosy from the beginning. My slow laid back pace of life suddenly took on a tangent and i really felt like giving in at first. i felt that my free time has been taken away frm me and that i will be better off not doing these. But today i realised that everything is worth it ;)
.
I thought about this . about Commitment. there is only a very fine line bet commitment and chore. a commitment wil easily turn into a chore when you get too overwhelmed and hence lose your direction. your morale takes a fall and you start dreading everything. you find that you no longer are able to derive pleasure frm pleasurable things .i need to keep up that spring in me and actively live in the moment. i got a bit disillusioned when i had to give up my tue morning trek and mon night chompchomp and then thurs matric =x such are the trade offs and i learn that sometimes, you cannot have the best of both worlds. Something will have to give and tht's rlly what time does to limit you. I wish i have boundless energy and time to keep me going so that i can do everything i want . sadly, that's not possible,
.
anyway after session, i went to grams for dinner , a spontaneous one. my aunt treated me so nicely and kept offering me food. the helper made me feel like i was actly dining in an open air cafe and dished out my bowl of kuah teow early just so that i can make it for my nxt apptment. Again, im rlly thankful to hav a family and somewhere i can just go for rest and comfort when i need, and the ppl who receive me with open arms. lucky 6, to have wonderful extended family members ;)
.
rushrush and i arrived at my tuition place. my very first class with this p2 boy ;) mrs.oh is indescribable , just so so so nice, she's such a kind hearted person and i rlly cannot put how lucky i feel when im with her in words. the tuition becomes more of a privilege than work instantaneously. she really took care of me and i rlly am afraid that i will take advantage of her niceness. she gave me a pay rise very immediately and kept worrying abt me not being able to cope, asking if this was okay and if that was okay. I really hope i can deliver results and get to know her boy ;) i will put in effort for this no matter how tied down i will be with work. that's luckiest 7, to be able to get into re-contact with this beloved tr, and having her son as my student ;)
.
then i arrived home at arnd 1130 into the comfort of my homely home ;) and dug into yummy cod fish soup cooked by my mother ;) everythign comes one full circle !
.
tmrw i will be helpin out the OT and im looking forward ;) and thurs schreadinesstest and then k-ing !!! ;)))
.
reminder- attend to school stuff, psych stuff and tuition kid. do not neglect dog momo. and friends.
.
add on: i also thought about how selfless some ppl can be and how much they can give. and in contrast, how ugly another side of the world can be and where i want to be and how i want to become.

& Lazy afternoons ...
9:27 AM :D

Today was good. Today was fun. Tomorrow is another one.
