《时间，旅途》
好累 好累
好想停下脚步
扎营停住
然而时间仓促
催我赶路
赶往未来旅途

心里的惆怅是否会随着岁月而增加？对我来说这问题的答案好像是是。
随着我一天一天地长大，感觉上烦恼的事越来越多，人情世故也越来越复杂。看《光阴的故事》汪茜茜说过:" 从矮处看世界，感觉世界好大，好壮观，但是随着人长大，世界从眼平去看，就会看见它的这面目，看见世界的丑陋。" 她说得好对哦。小时候得我们，因小时翻脸，却在短时间内符合。说绝交，但不到五分钟就又玩在一起。长大了，说绝交就真的绝交。就算以后和好了，仍是由心结。随着我们踏进社会，我们看到的是人类的勾心斗角，算计。
长大并不像小时候想象的一样好玩。长大了，责任多了，想要的幸福快乐也变得复杂。小时候得到心仪的玩具让我们乐得不可开交，长大了，希望靠近梦想的大学得到一份高薪的工作让我们得到短暂的满足。然而，我们的贪婪无厌让我们向盘上事业的顶端，世界的第一，其他人有的，我们也要。其他人没有的，我们也要。怎么样才会让我们满足呢？
是否要求安逸的生活是没志气的？为什么我们厂追求物质的享受？为什么我们输不起的个性总是让我们不快乐？为什么没有名利我们就不甘心？满足人类的虚荣心到底是为了什么？就只是希望其他人能以崇拜的眼光看待我们吗？

a recent spate of events left me moody once again. I guess moodiness is the only drive that makes me blog since I have no idea where else I can vent out my moodiness. An accident involving my primary school playmate left me thinking once again about the vulnerability of life. No doubt she is well recuperating in the hospital, I can help but think that life is so fragile. It has once again shown how important the phrase "treasure the others before" is. This phrase always pops up to me whenever something drastic happens. I rethink about the friendships forged, how I have not been trying to keep up with these friends whom I may once have been really close to.
This year, many reunions have been surfacing-primary 2 class gathering has been on the talk for months, secondary school HMT pals, primary 6 classmates, JC classmates. All heard of but never materialised. Ok, maybe I should say I only managed to meet up with my primary 6 classmates. After 6 years, we've finally met. Really cool to have met up with them. Hopefully, more of such gatherings would occur. It's really nice to see how much all of us have changed yet remain the same(maybe) after all these years. The amazing thing is that we are atill able to recognise each other after all these years.
Oh well, all's said and done. What has passed has passed. No point crying over split milk. Exam's just this Thursday. Time to mug and work towards my goal.
Goal: UoS!!!=))

IT'S FINALLY OVER!After all that hassle with publicity,elections are finally over.Though I got a post that I wasn't really very keen(Liaison & Logistics Officer),and not a post that I was running for in the first place,it's still something I have not tried before.So yep,I'd just have to brace with whatever is coming.=)
Foresee a busy year 2 school life with the SC coming up,but hopefully studies would not be affected.THe promise made to myself is not forgotten and it will be my ultimate goal.

In an twinkling of an eye, we've entered week 3 of Year 2, Sem1.In that one year in OT, I wondered to myself, what have I learnt?How are they useful to me in future when I am a practicing clinician?All the answers were pretty fuzzy initially. Yet now as a year 2 student, I gradually understand their importance. Anatomy lays my foundation for BSM,which then allows me to know which muscles are activated under what conditions, hence allowing me to know what deficits a client would have with a lesion in that muscle. Sociology allows me to know how culture and family influences one's values and beliefs, thus reinforcing the fact that each individual is unique.Psychology lays my foundation for Psych disorders as well as to LLD,and perhaps Play and School.OT modules lays my foundation for future transfers,reasoning and many many more.
I wonder if I do have the appropriate time management skills with the increasing workload, adding on to the coming new role as the EXCO for the SC. Hopefully this would not add on to my current workload.
Was supposed to try out lifeguard today but since twinnie ended lesson late, we didn't go.Had dinner with clique and it brightened up my day.Missed the laughter that we had and it is one of those rare days where I get to go home with them again now that I'm not in the same class as them.
Haha,haven't blogged for months and I'm losing the hang of it.I need to brush up my english as well as my chinese.Is it really possible for one to be bilingual?I wonder.

HOLIDAY ARE FINALLY HERE!It has been such an arduous journey getting by Year 1 Sem 2.But I'm glad we made it through!For once,I really feel the bond between people. There is no clear distinction which class anyone is in.We do things ogether,as an OT Year 1 cohort.And I have to say that is a really great feeling.
Just came back from our OT chalet,and it was really fun!Almost the entire cohort turned up and all of us had lotsa fun.Desiree, Eunice,Justyn and Chee Kiong were sitting in a corner,drinking,going really high.Syams came and all of us were really glad to meet him again.Some went for night cycling,others just sitting around chatting.
Went for kbox with the OT cohort on Monday to celebrate sylvia's birthday.Surprised her at kbox in amk and sang our hearts out with songs that most of us know.IT has been a really LONG time since I enjoyed myself so much.Whee!
Gonna go for UKM in KL next Wednesday and I'm looking forward to it!OT rocks my world.=))
Aim: 1)To be a good clinician upon graduation
2)To go to UoS upon graduation

Today perhaps is the most inspiring day in 2009. Guest speaker,Mr Gilbert Tan, a c5 SCI tetraplegic came to gave us a talk about his life as a disabled.This talk aims to give us a picture of how life is like from the client's perspective. Initially, I thought it was yet another boring talk that most of us always always have.But I was darn wrong.
He was engaging, with a sense of humour.HE was really optimistic and "handicapable".How the doctor gave him only 5 years to live after the accident and now he's still alive after 26 years post-accident and the doctor is dead. The way he deals with problems really makes me realise how fortunate I am to be abled,with fully intact senses.He used to play the guitar, but now he can't. As a fellow guitarist, I know how much this could have meant to him,to lose the ability to move his fingers(UTS:no fine motor skills).
His story also made me realise how as OTs and PTs, we can touch lives,if Gilbert's PT had not told him, " Being disabled is not unabled. Not handicapped, but handicapable." (
Writings- My Expereience as an Disabled Person ) Perhaps, he may not have stayed strong and be what he is today.
He sang for us two of his composition 'Live life' and 'Can I Wash Your Feet', his words touched me. For once, pitch did not matter to me, but the words and feeling put into the song. An important lesson learnt today: Disabled can be THIS abled. The 5C's in life was also really meaningful,not anything more than material gains, but more spiritual.(it's getting long and late, shan't elaborate on his 5C's..)
"Singaporeans are perpetually busy, though they are generous at giving cash and kind, the thought of giving up precious time deters too many from being a friend to the disadvantaged, the disabled, the poor and needy. Learning that a disabled person still chooses to do community work will perhaps confront the excuses and reasons and maybe lead a few to consider making a difference in people's lives." - Gilbert TanSo here's the link to his website!He totally inspired me that I should be a good OT.=D Living Life With Gilbert Tan- Mouth Artist, Composer, Singer(attempting to do proper referencing..lolx)
