The Prehistoric Survivor

Do u noe tt pre-historic creatures still exist? i mean, other than the descendents of small flying dinosaurs (i.e. chickens), there is one species of creatures tt survive from ancient times til now w/out much evolution?

It is a smart and resilient species.

It is the cockroach.

u muz be wondering now why issit tt i choose to blog on cockroaches instead of the expected ramblings abt how wonderful my 1st day at clinicals is. That is because this topic on cockroaches is more interesting, and i'm planning to to save my comments on my 1st day of placement as a draft so tt when i feel like blogging but have nothing to blog, i can post it up.

now back to the main topic. cockroaches. hrmm. why do i say tt they're smart?

well, it's really evident. this morning at 615am, i saw a cockroach in my kitchen. nah, that sounds like nothing extra-ordinary, but u muz first know the situation in my hse then. The cockroach busters (i.e. my dad and my bro) left the hse for hongkong this morning at 530am. and it so happens that my mum went to see them off. SO, the hse is only left with me, the one tt has been unknowingly conditioned by societal norms to be afraid of cockroaches.

isn't it smart of the cockroach to choose to make its appearance then, when it had disappeared for mths???

anyway, i had my duties as a member of the household to get rid of unwanted visitors. so i proceed to fish out a roll of newspapers, which is the usual routine of sacrifice. but! as i look at the brave blackie with the murder weapon in my hand, i couldn't do it. u see, due to its perculiar position, if i had juz slammed it down, its body maybe disembeled to various locations. now, i can't do tt to a creature tt had withstand eons rite? after serious consideration, therefore, i decided tt i shall use insecticide to "blow" it away onto a more suitable place (i.e. floor). but my kind gesture caused it so much agony!!! wat can i do?? "... ..." so i performed euthanesia as an act of kindess to end its agony...

hrmm... ok. so why do i say it's resilient?

well, after i performed the necessary procedure of euthanesia, i took my cup of tea n had breakfast in the living room. after abt 20min i went back into the kitchen to clear up, only to notice tt oh-mighty-survivor is still twitching its legs!!! it's not dead yet!!! i gave it another dose of insecticide. no!!! still alive!!! guilt weighed down on me as i realise tt i gave more torture to it by performing wat i tot to be best. as i wallow in my guilt, it slowly became at peace...

death time would be at ard 25min post operation. resilient, rite?

hrmm... are u asking me how i dispose of its body??

no, this is a question i had no answer to. u see, i am so full of guilt tt i cannot imagine myself touching its sacred body! no! i am unworthy of accompanying it on its last journey to the rubbish bin.. not with hands stained with its blood. so basically i left it on the scene of crime.

when i came home today, it's gone le. maybe it had went to some great unknown, where things are wonderful and nice.

it shd. it deserves it.

post clinical correspondence~

Mr. ABC: Dor! M getting all the gossip about u from XYZ.
Dor: Argh! Why u two so san ba??? But anyway XYZ dun really know alot abt me wat. Wat's there to gossip? Haha
Mr. ABC: Chey! Hahaha. But in fact he praised u. Anyway let's find some time to catch up another day.

Key:
Mr. ABC --- colleague of my clinical supervisor in prev attachment
XYZ --- same batch NJCO member, now holding prominent position in NJCO alumni

-----------------------------------------------------------------

this is the latest correspondence. the previous one was a phonecall from my previous supervisor to ask me if i wanna go back again for my next attachment so that i can follow through the case, PLUS an invitation to attend my client's graduation party from the programme. an even earlier one would be me asking both of them for ang paos, which they kindly and tactfully rejected. =(

anyway hmm, how to say leh? never expect to have such kind of sms correspondence with a qualified OT. Especially not with a previous supervisor or colleague. maybe becoz we got to know each other when we're "working" bah. can see tt i seperate my work and social life quite clearly haha.

they've shown me tt a "working" or "teacher-student" relationship can become friendship. its knida nice actually. BUT i cannot expect all clinical supervisors to be as friendly though.

better get into the mood for clinicals on monday le.

symptoms of stress

Taken from Cheng, M. (2005) Lifestyle and lifespan development 2: Stress and its management. Singapore: Nanyang Polytechnic.

Physical signs of stress
headaches; upset stomach; neck/back pain; acne/allergy flare-up; muscle/eye twitches; heart pounding

Emotional signs of stress
depressed; anxious; burned out; rushed; sensitive; suspicious

Behavioral signs of stress
disorganised (losing things, making dumb mistakes); trouble getting along with others; daydreaming abt escaping; difficulty in making small decisions; irritable, fatigued, poor sleep; do trivial rather than impt jobs; overeat or crave sweets/caffeine.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over the past 1 week i have:

physical signs:
headaches that last for the whole day; upset stomach; neck muscle tt's VERY tensed (yes i have them all along, but it intensified); appearance of one pimple tt erupts everytime i wash my face; pain in the eye ball (but i suspect tt it's due to lack of sleep)

emotional signs:
manic signs (alternating periods of depression and elevation); anxiety (in the start of the week, when the threat of being unable to complete the assignements become very real); burned out (oh yes, definitely); sensitive (to comments, motives etc); suspicious (of any unknown creatures lurking in the dark in my hse when i switch off the lights)

Behavioural signs:
losing things (i lost my cash card of value $13+ this morning, and a packet of tissue paper later in the afternoon); trouble getting along with others (i always haf this prob); difficulty in making small decisions (to do this first or that first); irritable, fatigued; do trivial rather than impt jobs (like ytdy i insisted on packing my study table abit b4 starting on my report); crave for caffeine (basically i NEED teh-o in the morning, otherwise i'll juz wilt and mop ard for the rest of the day).

Conclusion: I AM STRESSED.

hope i won't reach exhaustion during my clinicals next week... i'll like die and fail my placement~

time of commemeration

at this precise day, hour, minute and second, i officially announce that i have given up on all my assignments.

there doesn't seem to have any more point in bia-ing le... since its all gonna enter the respective pigeon holes in abt 6hrs time and disappear from my sight until er... next sem???

i didn;t even bother to check them thru. too tired and sick of em. my only regret now is that my printer is lousy and i can't print them out to make them permanent. i'm praying tt i can wake up on time tml to rush to sch n print. having known tt these 2 assignments are the suckiest i've done yet, i can't afford to lose marks from late handing in le.

n i totally agree with xj... wat's the point of writing factual reports based on fictatious scenarios??? it's the whole irony of things. argh. i dun make sense. tt's the result of 2+ consecutive days of sleeping after 3am.

i think i've reached saturation point in my threshold for stressful events le... so much so tt anymore tt's trying to barge in are deflected. Example: today when Michelle Cheng was warning us about how expectations of us will be changed in our upcoming Clinical 2B, and when talking about the different things to prepare for, and also the fact tt i'm involved in a pilot test of a new style of supervision, all these like make no impact on me. its juz cognitive processes tt ran thru my brain, but no effect on my psychological aspect. not even a ripple.

n this is when i find myself pretty cool. it's like a successful business woman who noes wat she's doing n haf everything under control. cool.

maybe i should be constantly under such heightened state of alertness. i might like myself more this way.

孤单

人，
是孤单的。
一个人时孤单，两个人时孤单。
可是，
越多人陪伴，却越是孤单。

我，
在众人中呐喊，无人听见。
在众人中落泪，无人知晓。
能了解，
身处人群时却还是孤单的痛楚吗？

想想，
还是一个人时，会过得比较好。
那就让我一个人吧。

tear

they quarreled becoz of me... how can i not shed a tear?

she accused me of NEVER doing things willingly for her... how can i not shed another?

he accused her of being "something wrong"... tt's more than i can bear.

the joy of the victory over the horses are insignificant to the war at homeground.
i've never felt as sorrowful as i do now.

JAY!!!!!!!

*hearts*

erhrm. er paiseh... me still quite overly excited... over wat? haha can guess rite?? of course it's JAY CHOU concert lahx~

er no, not another new concert. i juz watch the Taipei concert VCD mahx. ah! *hearts*

how to say leh? watching the concert brings life back into my empty life!!! i dun need to watch movie le! i dun even need the ktv this sunday!!! wahahaha. although throughout the whole concert he only remembered the full lyrics for 3 songs, and had totally forgotten the lyrics for 我的地盘, but! i'm still soooooooo happy~ can u imagine? i haf like totally no control of my facial expressions... a smile can slowly creep onto my face halfway thru a song, or my eyebrows will furrow like his when he's 深情地唱-ing. oh my~

before anybody complain, i shall specify tt this is not an entry to turn my blog into a Jay Chou shrine.

anyway, how to say leh? suddenly i realise why i like him so much. ya coz he's talented. but also he looks good in both the 乖乖 image and the 坏坏 image. u noe? tt's wat attractive abt guys. to be gentle, but yet haf abit of rebelliousness, but again can be so serious. wah his 眼神 melt me man. so 认真，深情~~~~

den when i was watching the VCD, i finally realise why Taiwan concert are always so sought after, and why fans can fly all the way there to listen to that concert even though he will come n perform in s'pore a few mths later. perhaps it's to be among the 1st to attend the concert, but i think more prob is the atmosphere there! omg there's like SO MANY pple~ the stage is so BIG!!! it's open air, so the FIREWORKS!!! FIRE TECHNIQUES!!! EFFECTS!!! oh my goodness. i can't help but get high too!!!

BUT the main thing is, in such an atmosphere, facing so many ardent fans, the performer will definitely be more happy rite? i tell u, can see one loh. dunno how many times he smile in the concert. also dunno how many times he crack jokes etc. in s'pore i only picked up his "cheerfulness" during the encore 简单爱, and i tot tt's becoz the concert is abt to end le so he happy. haiz.

but of course maybe i short-sighted tt's y didn't notice his 微笑s... ah! btw muz mention this... during the s'pore concert i think he looked me in the eye leh!!! (yes xj u can laugh at me again... but tt's really wat i feel mah~) anyway i ganna 电到... whole nite cannot sleep tt nite wahahahaha~

ah! hope the s'pore version of the concert will also be available... n yes, i think there's a high possibility tt i'm gonna get tt one too haha.

the currently crazily grinning from ear to ear gal, signing off! :D

Ego's epic journey (Part 01)

Ego's journey in search of Super-ego is long and tedious. The search brings Ego to many places, and she met various kinds of people along the way.

Sometimes, people are friendly to her, and helps her along in a foreign land. Othertimes, which occur surprisingly often, is true as well.

Sometimes when Ego is in distress, or when the journey gets so tough that she is being pushed to her limits, she "see things" that others don't. Now, things here does not refer to them that belonged to the other world. It refers to the ability to see through situations, behaviours and motives of others interacting around her. Sometimes, what she sees reminded her of how Id behaves, and she will also be reminded of how Super-ego berated Id for it.

She was taught by Super-ego that these things are WRONG, DISGUSTING, and one should feel GUILTY for even having such motives or behaviours. So when she sees such behaviour, she cannot help but feel the same degree of disgust that she feel when she sees Id doing it.

However, the "special ability" not only allowed her to see the bad things. It also enabled her to spot those people that do not seem to have such motives. To Ego, these people seemed pure and untinted. unlike herself.

Yet this does not mean that Ego will feel comfortable around such "good" people. It is precisely the fact that these people are so unlike herself that she felt that they must be abnormal. How can anybody be so pure? How can she, the tinted one, be allowed to mix with them? The feelings of disgust surfaced again.

At this point, she usually feels disgust for the world at large.

She knows that such ability to comprehend the surroundings will not last. She is also uncomfortable with having to feel disgusted with so many people, including herself, at one go. So she can only hope that a good night's rest can take away such ability, and return to her the positive outlook of life that she needs in order to search for Super-ego among the sea of disgusting people...

Recurrent dream

Part 1: at the clinic -
i'm apparently a GP. An aunty came into the clinic, complaining of here-pain-there-pain. gave her pain killers.

Next day, aunty came back sayin pain-killer no use. now more pain. found it interesting, but still maintained tt pain killer will work eventually.

Part 2: the Library
scene change, and i'm apparently strolling in a new neighbourhood. was walking and relaxing when i heard fellow strollers commenting on the Haunted Library. interesting. so asked them for more info.

Went in search of the Library according to directions given. Eventually saw this big, muliti-storey glass building looming in front of me. interestingly though, its situated right smack in the middle of a housing estate.

Went to the walls, squatted down and peered through. Saw some bks on the shelf tt looked really REALLY old, and books tt i've never seen b4. i was enraptured. i want to go in.

Beside the Library is a Church, and a cleric juz walked out. i went up to ask if it's safe to go in. Basic info collected are: the Library has been around for a VERY long time; it is open for public from 9-5pm; no membership fee req'd; it is advisable to keep your volume down and return books on time.

Hence i walked into the Library, and browsed though its collection on the 1st storey. A book caught my eye and i decided to borrow it. Open wallet, search for I/C... eh? wat's this? Pulled 1 yellow cardboard out and scrutinized writings on it. oh my goodness its the membership card for the Library~ had my name on it somemore~ how did it get into my wallet???

Creepy, but i still wanna borrow the book. At the same time a group of students walked in hurriedly, saying its about 5pm soon and they need to get the book b4 tt. my bk is borrowed, about to leave, when another 3 students walked in and started, for god-knows reasons, to bully me. i of course retaliated lah. the ensueing cat-fight was loud indeed, and lasted until someone from the earlier grp shouted "run!!!"

we stopped, recognised the severity of the warning, and started scrambling for the door. i ran out, and never looked back.

at least, i didn't look back until i was safely out of range. here i turned around and saw one of the bullies lying on the ground in the Library. Her body slowly disintegrated into bones and dust as the glass door of the Library closes... ... ...

Part 3: on the way home
was on the MRT. The aunty from Part 1 came onto the MRT. i greeted her, and asked her about the pain. She said its still there. I fished into my bag and got a packet of remedy-for-cold drink and passed to her, saying that i now think the pain is becoz she is having a flu. Flu is common nowadays anyway. She think abit, smiled, and took it.

<---end of dream--->

Interesting fact #1
right after the aunty smiled, i remembered tt i had this dream before. I wanted to change the story abit, but i juz couldn't get into the dream again. its like its rejecting my entry. only the aunty's smiling face lingered...

Interesting fact #2
i am apparently a male in the dream.

something tt turned up from spring cleaning~

found a piece of poem tt i wrote inJC2. Shd be right after [The One] concert news was released. quite interesting. phrasing so awkward. haha.
read! read!

《少女一天的心路历程》

晴。

温暖的晨光晒在大伙儿的脸上。

“去嘛！去嘛！陪我去听他的演唱会！”

多双兴奋的眼睛围了过来。

“不了！好贵哦！”

嘻嘻哈哈，

欢乐，也只有被上课的铃声打断。

晴。

微微的风轻抚着咱们俩的脸颊。

“是花！好美！真的是要送给我的吗？”

一双温柔的眼睛正凝视着。

“是的！喜欢吗？”

羞羞答答，

甜蜜，也只有含羞草在风中摇动。

阴。

沉重的空气结冰似的疆住了脸容。

“不对！不对！你们真有专心听课吗？”

一双愤怒的眼睛横扫全班。

“这题！你回答！”

昏昏欲睡，

肃静，也只有被偶然的苍蝇搅醒。

阴。

昏暗的夕阳覆盖了家中每一张脸。

“女儿！宝贝！家的荣耀就全靠你了！”

两双期待的眼睛正叮嘱着。

“是是！我明白！”

勉强一笑，

欣慰，也只有被心中的压力沾污。

雨。

皎洁的月亮被层层的乌云遮住了脸。

“什么？哎呀！怎么会搞成这个样子？”

一双疑惑的眼睛望着题目。

“惨了！怎么办？”

搔搔脑袋，

不解，也只有继续尝试继续挣扎。

暴风雨。

凶残的闪电划破了夜空漆黑的脸。

“走开！走开！为什么要一直缠着我？”

众多双阴险的眼睛逼了过来。

“不要！救命啊！”

猛的一醒，

宁静，也只有被烦人的闹钟粉碎。

新的一天，又即将开始。

daylight robbery!!! but i fell for it willingly~

i was halfway thru spring cleaning ytdy when i suddenly crave for pineapple tarts... not juz ordinary pineapple tarts, but Bengawan Solo Pineapple Tarts. So i told my mum:

"mamee ah, later on in the evening u wanna go Northpoint? i wanna buy pineapple tarts from Bengawan Solo."

Notice tt i didn't ask my mum to buy instead. i was feeling generous then. anyway my mum's eyes noticeably lit up, but paused abit before she replied:

"hmmm... actually i also craving for Kueh Bangkit from Bengawan Solo also..."

"ok lah. i buy them together later on. u wanna come with me?"

i was really feeling generous.

"ok... actually i also thinking of bringing the bah kua to grandma... u wanna accompany me there? there also got Bengawan Solo. "

I shall skip all these not impt minor details. Basically I agreed, later on regretted, tried to talk my way out of it, but still ended up at my grandma's place.

AT BENGAWAN SOLO: Searching around for BS Pineapple Tarts

"eh? dun haf leh... sold out liao ar?"

"issit? ask aunty lah."

"aunty, Pinapple Tarts 在那里?"

“neh 在这里 lo.”

i was looking at boxes of pineapple tarts enclosed in a green paper cardboard. Quite different package from the one i remembered. Anyway i glanced at the price... OMG!!! $18 and $27 (approximate prices) ??? So ex!!! and why the 2 boxes look the same from outside but got different prices?

so i ask again:

"aunty, 这个跟这个有什么不同？"

"这个 premium 是最新的。今年出的。里面比较多filling"

i stunned abit, den my eyes drifted upon the price tag infront of the smaller box tt says $11. then i glance at my mum...

unfortunately, she said:

"get the premium box la!"

I stared at her, wide-eyed. half a sec later, i began to shake my head.

She stared at me. i knew i had to compromise. So i took the big, non-premium
box.

As i was heading for the cashier, my mum headed for the Kueh Bangkit section. I secretly peeped at the prices... $11 each. darn. But my mum seems unsatisfied with the condition of the kuehs in the boxes, so i tot i escaped. I was actually consoling myself on tt point, when my mum suddenly say she'll want instead a box of cookies with cashew nuts. Imagine the blow it was to me.

Anyway, i spent almost $30 on intangible, bio-degradeble stuff becoz of my fleeting craving. I muz make it worth my money man. So guess wat? After test tasting the box of Pineapple Tarts i sealed back the container with the tape and put it back into the package -- pretending tt it has never been open. Next, i released news tt NO ONE is to touch the box b4 CNY. at least now i am guaranteed a few pieces of the tarts~ buahahaha...

anyway, the Bengawan Solo Pineapple Tarts do live up to its name... its NICE!!!

The story of Id, Ego, & Super-ego

There once lived an orphaned family of 3: the eldest is the Super-ego, and being the eldest, she is the disciplinarian of the household; the 2nd is the Ego, who is the most practical and keeps Super-ego's expectations grounded in reality while inhibiting Id's tantrums. Id, of course, is the youngest of the 3, and is always the one that wants to play and have fun.

When all were young, the Super-ego usually takes charge because she feels all of them needs disciplining and looking after. Ego also feels that it is vitally important for them to be trained in matters like Courtesy, Manners, Righteousness, Responsibility etc, and so made no objections to having Super-ego rule the family with an iron hand. The strict discipline has thus, of course, made Id extremely upset, and she wish to break free from such chains. She was, however, too young to make Ego listen to her thoughts and feelings seriously as Ego had somehow regarded the Id as a trouble maker as well.

Things, however, start to change as both Id and Ego are in their teenage and young adult phase respectively. Id started to speak out louder, and Ego, having gone through the teenage phase, recognises Id's desire to have fun. And so she persuaded and reasoned with Super-ego to let loose her control pf the family. Super-ego was extremely unwilling to do this, but she was feeling fatigued from years of disciplining that she had no energy to argue with Ego. and thus, Id and Ego were allowed to have their 1st taste of Fun while Super-ego take a long holiday overseas. Before she leave at the airport, Super-ego reminded Ego to keep a lookout for Id, for the youngest sister is the one she is most worried about.

Now, Id thoroughly enjoys her taste of freedom in doing things she had always liked to do, and especially when Super-ego is away on holiday, she is sure that she can enjoy this to the max! Sure, Ego did her best in reining in Id, but Ego was never good at disciplining. She is only good at negotiation. And Id's strategy to combat Ego's negotiation is to sweet talk her, and sometimes even tempt her with all the fun she enjoyed. Ego, having no Super-ego to back her up, usually falls prey to Id's requests.

After more than 1/2 a yr has passed, Ego no longer has control over Id. She feels tired at all the futile attempts made to reason with Id, and now she usually just hides in her room, feeling deserted and abandoned while Id goes out day and night to play. During the quiet time at home, she begins to think back to the past, and starts regretting asking Super-ego to let go of the control over the family. She also starts musing about the future. Will Id benefit from all the playing? Will she lose all the important values of Courtesy, Manners, Righteousness, Responsibility that Super-ego had so painstakingly cultivated? What kinda future will Id have???

With those thoughts, Ego decided what she must do. She must get in contact with Super-ego, and get her back here to discipline Id. But Super-ego is on a world tour, and she doesn't tell her whereabouts to anybody. Finding her is worst than seeking a needle in the hay sack! Ego's heart sank... It is almost impossible! .... No! It must be done! Ego made up her resolution to find her eldest sister so that together, they might be able to save her youngest sister from an unimaginable future...

And so, Ego's epic journey in search for Super-ego began...
