Hello :) I'm here to update my blog again (obviously it's me, if not who else?) Well, in any case, I feel more relived now since I've cleared two of my presentations today, family therapy and social issues! I'm pretty satisfied with my own performance today, other than the fact I talked a little too fast, need to change this! I'm having another presentation tomorrow, so I need to remind myself constantly to reduce my talking speed. I have quite a number of things to prepare tonight since it's an important day for me tomorrow, not exactly me, but just one close friend of mine, that pig sister of mine :D She's turning 18, so I hope that she's gonna excel in everything she do. Shall keep these wishes for tomorrow!
Family therapy presentation was a little chaotic because as we present, I noticed many blank stares from my classmates, and I guess it's because the therapy that we are presenting on is highly confused especially the part on directives. Well, it happens, because my groupmates and I were having a tough time trying to comprehend the information as well, it was a tough journey, but it's all worth it. The presentation went go pretty smoothly other than the fact that the volume refused to co-operate with us for the first few minutes. Just to comment, I love my group's video, those crazy times... AH, MEMORIES! :) I'm glad we managed to pull through this presentation! As for social issues presentation, I ENJOYED IT very much. With so many slides to present and so many information to share, I think that my group has done a really really extremely good job, especially one of them who has to wear heels and present TONS of information. Bravo to you!
I just want to say something here: "To all my friends, who care so much about me and yet, I have put most of you through a hard time trying to care for me and yet, I'm still that stubborn. I'm sorry. You guys are amazing! I promise I will stop being stubborn and lessen the worries you guys have for me. I love you guys!" I think my stubbornness has caused my friends to be extremely worried, and yes, I'm truly, deeply sorry for it. I will change because I don't want my friends to worry so much for me, and yet, I still don't know how to love myself. I will stop being so stubborn, I will change :) I was in the wrong to be overly stubborn and not knowing that this personality of mine is actually hurting my friends and those who loves me dearly. All I can do for them is to change and stop being so stubborn.
Anyway, I'm gonna remove my leg's bandage now and just soak my legs in hot water for about half an hour :) Just printed the exam timetable, quite satisfied with it. I need to start revising on group dynamics because there's a test on it soon >_> OH DEAR! Have a good night ahead! xoxo

Needles Fever!
I realized I've been posting on my blog pretty often recently, which I think it's a good thing. At least I'm taking the time to keep my daily memories in this precious blog of mine! :) Today is a pretty good day for me! My class went to a children's home today, and I'm really glad that I went for the trip. I find it a very meaningful trip for me since I've never visited one before. I love the atmosphere there, though it's a little quiet, but figured out that's because the students are not back yet O_O I want to sponsor a child from the children's home, but the fees is really expensive, so I changed my mind and will opt to be a volunteer instead after exams ^^
My legs were dying as I walked my way out of school and to the home, but it's all worth it :) Anyway, I think my friends are fierce at times. I was trying to take the stairs down to level one in school, and suddenly, one of my friend (she has already reached the foot of the staircase) turned back and shouted something like this, I can't really remember that clearly, "Do you know there's a lift at the back there?" WOAH. This gave me an instant shock and fear. I'm stubborn I know, but I just want to take the stairs at that point of time. I knew I will get scolded if I don't take the lift, so having no choice, I took the lift instead. Well, at least this shows that I have friends who care for me :) Feels really good to have them by my side.
Anyway, I went back home to bathe and head to another TCM clinic to get my leg treated. I swear this time, it hurts more than ever! >.< The doctor asked if I'm afraid of needles, so I replied no. So lying there, needles were being inserted into my legs, it was a stinging pain, I could still handle it :) The next moment, he asked me sit on a chair and inserted another needle into the upper part of my leg, and at that instant, my entire went numb, like really numb. I couldn't even move my leg at that point in time, my leg was extremely stiff. Oh well, this is the price I have to pay for being so playful. Anyway, I could walk slightly better after the treatment, but there's just one main concern: I forgot how to walk normally. I tried, but I really don't dare to walk as per normal. SIGH. The doctor told me to dip my leg into a pail of hot water, as hot as possible as long as I don't scald my legs, and sprinkled salt in the water. I'm supposed to do this for about 4-6 days, 30 mins per day. After which, I should be able to walk normally again. I'm gonna listen to him, because I can't stand being so inactive >_>
Hmmm, I didn't know I miss my biological dad so much till earlier when I saw the doctor who treated me. He looks like my dad. I can't really recall how my dad looks like, but I felt something strong within in when I met the doctor. Maybe I just miss my dad :( Oh well.. it's too late to say anything now~ I'm gonna prepare for my presentations tomorrow! Wish me luck! xoxo

I Talked To A CAT!
I swear I'm turning CRAZY because I talked to a cat today, no, in fact, I talked to THREE cats today! I have no idea how my brain works nowadays, it actually has the ability to communicate with animals. BRAVO! Well, I'm definitely not mad, I did talk to a cat, but it was all my cousin's fault >.< What exactly happened was that, I was walking home with my cousin after a basketball game, (he's such a loser.. I shall explain myself later! :P) and we spotted 3 cats lined up in a straight row, and one of them suddenly walked off. I commented, "Ha, look, even a cat knows how to give way to me now!" Then I have no idea how, we started exploring the love triangle that we believed was occurring between the cats. The cat that walked away was obviously sad because he didn't managed to win the heart of the girl, and the girl followed another guy. HOW SAD! :( I empathized with the cat who suffered a defeat in the combat of love, and so, I looked at him (I made a daring guess that the cat is a male) and said, "Don't
be sad, I understand how you feel, peace 'kay?" HAHAHAHA. I can't believe I said that to a cat, and the cat somehow looked back at me as it understood what I just said to him. Amazing and brilliant cat that was!
Anyway, enough of my nonsense. I shall explain to you why I said my cousin was a loser. In fact, he is still one to me till now :P He challenged me to a basketball game with him and so... CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! I had only one leg to jump and shoot the hoop whereas he has got a pair of fit and long legs which has already secured him so much benefits, and yet, he still lose to me. He's such a poor boy. OH WELL.. That's life, but it's funny. I kept making fun of him and teased him on how he can't even shoot properly. Okay, I shall not continued to mock him further or he will come after me with a chopper, penknife, nail clipper, stapler and whatsoever that can inflict harm on a person T_T
School's finally starting tomorrow! I'm pretty excited to go back to school again although I can't seem to figure out a reason why. My friend's gonna fetch my from the bus stop tomorrow so that I will reach school safe and sound. I'm finally crutches free! I really hated that thingy, I've dumped it into corner of my room now. SORRY :P I'm gonna read up my scripts and revise a little before heading to bed. Have a wonderful night lovely! xoxo

ALOHA!
I'm finally back from the TCM. I almost fainted during the process of rubbing, twisting and turning my leg. It hurts super badly! I saw stars and there's double vision. I could have fainted there. The pain was unbearable and at the very instant, I just feel like breaking my leg. The beginning of the process was alright, I could still handle the pain, but as the physician continued rubbing, the level of pain simply just increased. I wanted to scream, but I held back since I don't want to embarrassed myself as there are many people around. I was tearing and stuff, and was clinging onto the pillow case so tightly. I wanted to runaway..
Shall not talk about the treatment process anymore, it just triggers the pain even more. My walking speed is so much slower now and I have no idea how to make it to school on time and alive. I need to wake up earlier, and decide which transport mode I should take. Travelling is just so inconvenient for me right now, I just want my leg to recover faster! Why am I so playful? Sigh, I guess this is one important lesson learned. I think my mum feels that my leg injury is very minor, she asked me to help with housework, and I climbed up and down the ladder just because I need to clean to topmost of the cupboard. Oh well, I can't blame her, because this is my responsibility as a member of the family. Family assumption #1: A change in a family member affects all of the family members. In this case, my injury has caused a certain amount of changes in my parents' and sister's behavior. Hmmm...
Anyway, I saw this super cute and adorable little girl at the TCM. I started to play pee-ka-bo with her and she responded quite well to me. At first she was all shy and didn't want to play along with me, but as time passed (which is like 2 mins later), she joined in with me. She was hiding behind her parents and at the same time, tried to peek at me and see if I'm doing the same to her. I love the smile on her face as I was playing with her, it makes me feel good since I'm a future social worker associate, and working with children is inevitable. She's really adorable, she continued to play with me until it's my turn to see the physician. She even waved goodbye to me. AH! How adorable can that kid be? (Pfft, I sound like a pedophile now!) I'm gonna start to think and reflect on which group of people I can work with, probably children and elderly :) I can't really work with families because I'm scared to have a counter-transference especially on cases related to domestic violence. I shall see how things work out, meanwhile, I just need to handle my own emotions well and find solutions to the problems that I've been avoiding. How am I supposed to provided help to the others if my own issues are not resolved? WORK ON IT ELAINE!
I'm gonna my fringe trim later since my mum keeps complaining about how long it is, I hope I don't look weird with a slightly shorter fringe. I'm off for now, byebye! xoxo

How The World Should Be.
I'm really bored at home, just reading and flipping through my textbooks, trying to concentrate, but I'm sure all of you know that I've failed terribly. As I'm reading more, I realized that this world is filled with unfairness and even though there are legislation and policies that protect the welfare and interests of people, it's not enough, it's never sufficient. So what if there's laws that state that discrimination is not allowed, people don't care, that's mankind, nonchalant attitude is what comprises of us. I'm not saying that most of us don't care about the others, it just that it gets me really frustrated when I read about how minorities are being despised upon, making them feel marginalized. Is there really a need to treat them this way? They are humans too, they're no different from the majority.
I wish I have to power to create the world that I want it to be. How the world should be, it should be filled with showers of love and care. "Love each other or perish", I really like this phrase though I can't seem to recall where is the source. Without love and care, who exactly are we are? Without love and care, I guess we would probably live in a world filled with hatred and grudges, that explains why wars break out, why riots occur and why people resent one another even for the slightest mistakes. The price to pay for hating someone and holding your resentment towards them is high, a price that we can never afford to pay no matter how much wealth an individual or a country has. All the lives lost, all the properties destroyed and all the innocent ones who lost their dear ones, no, it's never the right choice to resort to violence to fight for what you think is rightfully yours. There's always a better solution than violence. (I think enlarging certain words make them looks more powerful!) People are so afraid to love, because they are afraid of getting hurt, for another time, by the same issue again. I just hope more people will dare to love, dare to say the phrase, "I LOVE YOU" more often and making sure that they mean it when these 3 words, 8 letters, 1 meaning is being said. Say it before you can, before it's too late to even utter theses words out.
Probably one of the many concerns we are facing in this society will be gender inequalities. The gender roles behind each sex is overrated. Who said that women are the only nurturers of the child, and should stay home and be a housewife? Who said that men can't stay home and help with the household chores while still going out to work? Females should not be discriminated just because of their gender. Victims of abuse are majority women, employees with lower rank are usually women, employees with lower pay are mostly women, parent who does most of the household chores and cater to the needs of the children are mainly women. Tell me why is there even such a gender difference in our society? Don't despise us women, just because we abide doesn't mean we are good to bully. The society is moving forward, we should not stay in the whole mindset of a patriarchy society anymore, it should be a gender equality world.
I should just leave my thoughts and comments for some other day now, I'm getting tired and thinking of social issues upset me because it shows me how cruel and how inhuman some human beings can get. I just hope that the world will change for the better. Throw away the judgement, embrace the differences, that's how it should work out.

Who Am I?
Erik Erikson's theory has finally come into play in my blog, the stage on identity vs identity confusion. I guess I'm still in this phase of trying to find out who I really am in this world. I once thought I managed to figure that out, but I guess I'm not ready to even accept my own identity for the time being.
Most of the aspects of identities are made known to me, however, I seriously have no idea who I am to myself? I always thought that I'm a good friend to others, someone who will be willing to do anything for my friends and love ones, this hasn't change. The only thing that's bugging me was the fact that I handle my friendships in a subtle manner. It seems to me that I always screw things up, especially matters related to friendships. WHY? I have no idea why, it's just in me. It's innate that I tend to do things that are harmful for the relationships that I have, and when I realized it, it's too late to do anything about it.
I'm on a phase of emerging adulthood, since I'm already 18, and one of the markers for this is actually to take responsibility of your own actions. Yes, I knew that long time ago, I bear the consequences of my actions. I should have thought more in depth that what I did was about to cause an eruption since I know, some things can never be kept in the dark for long. I was too foolish to think that I have the capability to control what's gonna happen next. 18 years of my life, and yet, I'm still unable to figure out what exactly I'm doing to my friends and myself. Am I always putting my thoughts and opinions on others? Am I always in other people's way? When something unpleasant happens, there's a tendency to blame myself for everything, no matter how many times people try to convince me that it's not my fault. It takes 2 hands to clap, there's always a percentage of fault that I contributed which caused the whole misunderstanding/issue/problem to occur, and I dare to say, for majority of the times, I'm the one who contributed the most. Because it's a matter of fact that I do not have the capability to weigh my own actions and words.
I've learned to grow up doing the right thing, and I've learned that words spoken out can NEVER be taken back. I do admit in a certain way or so, I've regret saying certain words. I'm standing right here, on this Earth, trying to piece everything properly in my life, which seems like a difficult task because everything is going against the flow that I wanted it to be. I won't push away the fault and responsibility, and I know I have to do something about it, but how? I'm starting to question myself on whether I should even have close friends in my social life, on whether I should even trust people when I share with them my troubles? Why do I seem to have lose the faith and trust in mankind, or is it for the fact that I've already lose confidence in myself that things will be better and that I can keep my friends till the day I leave the world? I'm so confused right now... Having an injured leg, preparing my scripts for presentations and studying for exams are things that keep my mind occupied day in day out. And when I cease all these activities and simply just lie on my bed to reflect, I realized, I'm not that good overall. I'm just someone who will cause misery, hurt and pain in other's life. THAT'S ALL. There's nothing I'm good in, there's not a day I can live my life without feeling remorseful. For the record, I think I'm better off alone.

That's The Price!
Yo people! I'm back again :) I've been busy, as usual, what's new? This week is kinda good and bad for me.
I think I should learnt to be less playful at times, because my playfulness costed a great price on my leg. Jumping around can cause serious injuries, this is a sincere advice, so little kids, don't jump about or you will end up like me! >.<
I have a playful character, always jumping around and I never know what it will cost me until yesterday. I was trying to place a jacket into the cupboard, and given my short height, I have to jump a little higher than usual just to make sure that the jacket will be in the cupboard safely. HERE WE GO! 1, 2, 3, jump! Okay, my friend told me I jumped too early and missed the jacket, in fact, I slammed onto the cupboard, stepped on my friend's leg, kicked something and THUD! I'm on the ground T_T Everything happened within split seconds, and before I could even react to you, I was lying on the ground, moaning in pain because my right leg was literally numb and I can't even move it. After a few minutes on the ground, I had to get up as I want to try to move my leg. First few steps were alright since I don't feel the pain YET. As I started walking, the effect of the pain grew tremendously... Hopping was my substitution for walking back then.
I wanted to go home and see a doctor, and I was of course, trying to walk properly to convince my friends that I'm alright and I can make my way home alone. I knew they didn't believe me, but I was too stubborn to listen to them at that point of time because I have something more important in my mind.. I kept insisting that I wanna go home, till one of my friends, came and scolded me, OH NO, I meant, she was being stern with me, telling me to think rationally and logically given the fact that I can go nowhere with my leg in this state: SWOLLEN and PARTIALLY DISABLED. I gave up trying to be stubborn and heeded my friend's advice. This incident made me realized that, I'm not alone in this world, my friends are always there for me, helping me and giving me the support that I need. I can't thank them enough for all that I've done for me. Carrying me to the taxi, scolding me so that I can think in the right manner, buying food for me and simply writing notes to give me encouragement, I really love my friends and appreciate all that they've done for me! If it wasn't for them, I think I can't make it to and fro from school to home and vice versa.
I'm really glad that my right ankle bone wasn't fractured, or the consequences will honestly turn undesirable.. I have to depend on the crutches when I'm walking now, and it's really troublesome. It hurts my hands and having to walk around with crutches is the worst thing ever. I don't like how it hurts me and I have to exert so much strength while using it. Oh well, what can I do? I injured my leg due to my playfulness, this is the price I have to pay. I just want my leg to recover asap so that I can go all active again. I'm really not used to being so inactive, I prefer moving around. SIGH.
I'm going to rest, do up my scripts and revise my school work since exams are round the corner. Have a good night people! Love! xoxo
I think I should learnt to be less playful at times, because my playfulness costed a great price on my leg. Jumping around can cause serious injuries, this is a sincere advice, so little kids, don't jump about or you will end up like me! >.<
I have a playful character, always jumping around and I never know what it will cost me until yesterday. I was trying to place a jacket into the cupboard, and given my short height, I have to jump a little higher than usual just to make sure that the jacket will be in the cupboard safely. HERE WE GO! 1, 2, 3, jump! Okay, my friend told me I jumped too early and missed the jacket, in fact, I slammed onto the cupboard, stepped on my friend's leg, kicked something and THUD! I'm on the ground T_T Everything happened within split seconds, and before I could even react to you, I was lying on the ground, moaning in pain because my right leg was literally numb and I can't even move it. After a few minutes on the ground, I had to get up as I want to try to move my leg. First few steps were alright since I don't feel the pain YET. As I started walking, the effect of the pain grew tremendously... Hopping was my substitution for walking back then.
I wanted to go home and see a doctor, and I was of course, trying to walk properly to convince my friends that I'm alright and I can make my way home alone. I knew they didn't believe me, but I was too stubborn to listen to them at that point of time because I have something more important in my mind.. I kept insisting that I wanna go home, till one of my friends, came and scolded me, OH NO, I meant, she was being stern with me, telling me to think rationally and logically given the fact that I can go nowhere with my leg in this state: SWOLLEN and PARTIALLY DISABLED. I gave up trying to be stubborn and heeded my friend's advice. This incident made me realized that, I'm not alone in this world, my friends are always there for me, helping me and giving me the support that I need. I can't thank them enough for all that I've done for me. Carrying me to the taxi, scolding me so that I can think in the right manner, buying food for me and simply writing notes to give me encouragement, I really love my friends and appreciate all that they've done for me! If it wasn't for them, I think I can't make it to and fro from school to home and vice versa.
I'm really glad that my right ankle bone wasn't fractured, or the consequences will honestly turn undesirable.. I have to depend on the crutches when I'm walking now, and it's really troublesome. It hurts my hands and having to walk around with crutches is the worst thing ever. I don't like how it hurts me and I have to exert so much strength while using it. Oh well, what can I do? I injured my leg due to my playfulness, this is the price I have to pay. I just want my leg to recover asap so that I can go all active again. I'm really not used to being so inactive, I prefer moving around. SIGH.
I'm going to rest, do up my scripts and revise my school work since exams are round the corner. Have a good night people! Love! xoxo

Happy Birthday!
Hello! I'm finally back from the stayover at my friend's house and of course, open house! I just want to say, this year, I've had a super awesome birthday! :D It's all thanks to my friends who came up surprises and a dance performance for me, they are great! I really got a shock when I saw the cake that they bought for me, I was overwhelmed by tears, and started crying non-stop. That very particular moment when I saw the cake and the impromptu performance they put up for me, I was really touched, and I still am. That scene is etched in my memory, I'm lost for words because this was how amazing the entire birthday surprise went! :) I want to thank all my friends who went all the way out to celebrate my birthday with me, took so long to figure out what to buy for me, spent the time doing cards for me, and of course, spending hours, minutes and seconds wishing me happy birthday and giving endless and countless hugs. For every present, card, hug and wishes that I received, thank you, really, I'm really thankful that I got to know you guys. Thank you for making this year's birthday so special and memorable for me, if it wasn't for all of you, I guess I will not be able to know how does a real birthday celebration feels like. Words can't describe how grateful I am towards everyone in my class, all I can say is that, I LOVE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU! <3
Those presents I've received, those cards that I get and of course, those text messages that I received, I will keep them and really treasure every single wishing that was sent to me. I really do enjoy the celebration, thanks folks ;) Oh, something really freaked me out when I was having the open house. I saw my friend's twin sister, and OH MY GOSH, they look super like. it's like a mirror image of each other! O_O Their actions, the way they walk, the way they talk, the way they laugh and the clothing they wear, ARE ALL ALIKE! I'm like seeing two exact faces! If my friend didn't wear the class tee, I think I will have quite a hard time figuring out who is who. AND! I feel really honored that my friend's twin sister gave me two hugs on my birthday, she's like a celebrity to me now! ;) She's friendly!
I love helping out during open house, it's fun and I love promoting my course to others. Many people often mistaken social workers as volunteers, but here I am, telling you guys that social workers is NOT volunteer. We are trained and we get paid! ^^ I't s a helping profession. Joining social work is about passion, not about the salary we are going to get. How long do you think you can stay in a job which is high paying but there's a lack of interest? It's not gonna be long before you see yourself switching jobs every few years, or worst, every few months. I love social work, I love this course, and I love helping people, as simple as all these :)
In any case, just wanna say, I really enjoy the 3 days I've spent together with my classmates, helping out with open house and throwing a small party on my birthday! It was hard work, please rest well my dear friends, I love you guys! <3

Open House!
Today marks the day for the first time I actually participated in an open house. I don't go to open houses because I'm usually too lazy to visit. I was looking forward to my school's open house though I have no idea why, I just have a feeling that it will be a good one ;) It feels great to be able to help out for the open house, and it certainly feels good to see the class coming together as one and help each other out during the event! Those scenes made me smile, guess I'm easily contended.
I love how I'm being pushed around the cart by my friends, it's super fun! :D I love it when my friend pushes the cart as high speed, but at the same time, I'm scared I will fall since there isn't anything for me to hold on to. Kenji pushed the cart to the toilet with me sitting on it, and everyone was staring at us, mainly me, because I looked retarded, like some lunatic screaming helplessly. I don't mind the stares as long as I'm having fun! I'm in charge of the counselling section and that made me nervous since I've not been practicing the skills for quite some time. I have to keep reminding myself which skills I should use, what questions I should ask. I don't want to disgrace myself in front of those who will be visiting our course. I had to rehearse those skills while I'm on the bus to school >.< Initially, I wasn't expecting many people to come to our class and understand the course, since it's a new course and it's located in an area that not many people know how to make their way there unless someone guide them there (which majority of the people who came were guided by students from NYP). I was really glad that quite a number of people turned up today. I think many people are still pretty unfamiliar with our course. It's alright, we will try our best to promote and advertised it!
I went home early because I was tired and I wasn't in the right mood to further continue helping out. I decided to go for a swim to clear my mind and hopefully, feel better after a few laps in the pool. As usual, impromptu arrangement will get a scolding from my mum. She hates the fact that I inform her about certain arrangement so suddenly, so I got a scolding before I managed to go to the pool. My ears are superbly thankful when I left the house, it's a relief! When I got to the pool, there wasn't anyone swimming int he adult pool, so it felt pretty awkward when I was the ONLY one who were swimming. What made it more embarrassing was the fact that the lifeguard was staring at me. WEIRD! It finally got better when more people started to swim in the adult pool, I no longer felt so weird :D I swam about 18 laps before my hands started to ache so I had to stop swimming. Poor me~
I'm feeling super sleepy now, I'm just gonna slack for a while before heading to bed. I need to wake up super early tomorrow to send my cousin back to KL. Goodnight peeps! xoxo

One Less Stress.
Woohoo~ I managed to find some time off my busy schedule to update my blog. I made myself sound like I'm working on a million dollar deal! :D I've been pretty stress and busy recently, with the only goal to prepare for my group activity, which was held earlier today. I've spend weeks in planning, intervening this activity. I think I've lost quite a number of brain cells, and I've improvised my proposal for many many times. I started planning for this activity before I left for KL, and when I was back there, my mind was flooded with thoughts relating to my activity. It's stuck within me, be it whether I'm getting ready to head to bed, having meals or in the shower, I can't keep my mind off this activity. It has unknowingly became part and parcel of my life!
My activity had something to do with eggs, and some condiments. I spent so much time trying to figure out what are the condiments that I should use. I was really nervous and stressful today because I have no idea if my plan will turn out the way I want it to be. I keep reminding myself of the steps that I need to follow, and make sure I bring everything to school. It was a stressful period for me, it's a form of psychological torture. Oh well~ What made me feel nervous the most was the fact that my friends will be playing 5 different roles, each with a different role that they need to act out and I have to deal with them. It's like problematic behaviour that will be displayed in the group. The 5 roles were:

Oh well~ What made me feel nervous the most was the fact that my friends will be playing 5 different roles, each with a different role that they need to act out and I have to deal with them. It's like problematic behaviour that will be displayed in the group. The 5 roles were:
- Advisor
- Silent observer
- Assistant leader
- Superior
- Storyteller
It was scary to me because I have to think of the methods to deal with such situations on the spot, no script, no lines, it was a difficult job. I was the 3rd to conduct my activity to me, and with the clock ticking, I can feel my heart beating faster and faster, as if it was about to drop out. It was that scary, that torturing and stressful.
For one of my friends activity, I was given the role of the silent observer. At first, I thought it would be a difficult role for me to portray successfully since, I admit, I'm a talkative and noisy person. Amazingly, I managed to emerge myself fully into this role and kept quiet throughout the activity. I guess it was due to the fact that I was nervous about my facilitation which was approaching soon. I like the first two activities that my friends has planned, it was fun to play, and really challenging. Both of them seemed so nervous, which in turn, added to my level of nervousness. I couldn't really focus on the games and debrief because my mind is entirely occupied by my own thoughts on my activity, I was in my own world. Finally, it was my turn to facilitate. I had some difficulty setting up the place since I didn't really consider thoroughly how I wanted the circle to be like.. But, this was soon over, thanks to the great co-operation my friends rendered to me!
For the first part, the members were supposed to balance a hard boiled egg on the table top surface within 3 minutes. If everything goes as planned, I would expect everyone to not be able to balance the egg. HOWEVER! That's not the case, one of my friends managed to balance the egg, and it totally struck me. I got a little flustered, because this meant that I have to rethink of a debrief for my activity. In any case, I reacted by asking the rest of the members to give her a round of a applause because personally, I've tried the activity and I failed in balancing the egg. I should practice more! For the second part, the members were supposed to choose from the 6 condiments provided for them and do a try and error method to find the correct one that will help in balancing the egg. When I was trying out the experiment, only the salt works, strictly speaking, only the salt will help in balancing the egg. So, there came another crisis, there were responds like chilli powder and sugar are capable of balancing the egg as well. I was once again, taken aback. The entire original plan was side tracked and I have no idea what to do. I couldn't figure out the reason why such a thing happened, all I can do were to proceed on with my activity and try to twist and turn my debrief to fit the situation. Oh, just to mention, my lecturer played the role of the storyteller, and she did a really good job! I was annoyed by her, and was trying hard to stop her from telling her stories to the others. PHEW! I managed to handle her, and eventually, completed my activity. Though it was far off from the way I've planned it, I'm pretty satisfied with myself during the facilitation! :)
Now, there's gonna be one less stress for me. I can finally concentrate on my presentations and revision now. My "sister" came to my house today, wanting to borrow a black shirt for tomorrow, and I ended up opening every drawer I have to show her. She was like assessing my house. One good point she made: my house is small. YES, my house is indeed very small, there isn't a lot of space to hold too many people. She's the second visitor from my class whom has visited my house. I don't usually bring people to my house because of my mum, and when I do, feel honored :P Just kidding, when I do bring people to my house, it will be of a reason, either for borrowing of something or for some other reasons. She witnessed the way I interacted with my mum, which I guess was a good thing ;)
Anyway, I'm gonna bathe and start with my revision now. I need to study as much as I can tonight before I send my notes and textbooks for open house tomorrow! Oh, mentioning of open house, I'm looking forward to it, I have no idea why, I just have a feeling that it will be fun! :D I have to pack so many things for the open house tomorrow, poor me! Have a good time ahead, peace out! xoxo
