Spring School Programme

a 2-week programme event which just ended.
it has been fun having the participants around.
it was more livelier at our institute. conversing with them. interacting
though i must say, it was tiring..(having to run errands), it was really our pleasure to meet em.
each and everyone of 'em.

=)
the above pics are just with some of the participants.
some of them mainly came from Indonesia, Malaysia, Philipines, Australia, India, etc...
see..i dun nid to travel/ book a flight to meet people from other counterparts.
loving tiz lah...hee! the perks! value-added.

justifying the reason why

the actions that we do.
do we have reasons to justify it.?

reasonable reasons?
or just sound reasonably sensible to us?

and I've my own reason for such entry which is..
..hee!!! sensible enuff.

my chain of thoughts.
=)

another of my weekend thoughts

suddenly i felt like doing something crazy.
not insanely, religiously wrong crazy.
something that i will feel amused, or something tat i will laugh out at wen i tot of it.

now..wat is it?

anws lets talk about this "someone" whom i met.
an indonesian guy. not that very good-looking. but its his shyness that relie captures me.
and he have such kind eyes.
he will be here in S'pore for the next 1wk. for a programme organized by us.
the first time i met him, he was super the shy that he didnt even looked at me (in the eyes) when he talked to me.
im like seeing me in the male version. ehehe!!
but subsequently, we managed to make eye contact..and small talk.

seriously, i do wish to talk to him more.
mingle wit him more.
hmm...bt me myself am afraid to do the approach. bcoz..i've never done it before!!

ehh..wait..maybe that is the crazy thing that i want to do..
hee..maybe..

but for nw, im happy that i've met him.
he is the reason that i am so happy to be at work (in the morning).
=)

..sometimes...

ir0nically...
sometimes...
i dun wana be the first few t0 kn0w...

...i want to be surprised...
terkej0t ber0k the same time as the others.
leaping f0r j0y with them.
exclaiming happily!

keeping the j0y t0 myself is far w0rst than keeping sadness..
ir0nically...

the cute c0nversati0ns

Cute Conversati0n #1
Called up the bus transport driver. To enquire. Upon agreement, I asked him for his bus plate no. and the size of easy identification on the 1st day of taking the transport.
Me: whats the size of your bus? small or big?
HE: medium

Cute Conversation #2
Had a mini accident which resulted in leaving a scar on my left hand.
During the healing process, it started to itch. And I thought that it was infected.
and so....i told my friend about it
ME: (pointing to the scar, while talking to my friend) It started to itch really bad the other day
SHE: Then what happened?
ME: Ermm..i scratched....

I was anticipating her to say "ohh dear..something must be wrong...yadda yadda yadda"

Cute Conversation #3
With one of my new colleague.
ME: Ok, later I ask u on how to go about preparing for the Cover Page ok.
SHE: ohh Ok..what do you want to ask me?

Later means 2 secs interval??

=) reflecting back on the conversations just make me smile.
it may sound silly to others, but for me, seriously..i find 'em so cute.
=)

i think...

..im goin to ignore myself sometimes.
at certain times of the day.

hope it works.
=) insya'Allah.

macam mane nie...

the key points of being a counsellor
-refrain frm counter transference (meaning to say that do not allow yr emotions get in the way - maybe bcoz of yr own experience, or you have a "soft spot" for the matter)
-empathy
-be authentic
- etc, etc, etc

and of all the key points, i cant stop the counter transference, too much (way too) of empathy.
i kinda just finished reading the 1st chapter of "A child called IT".
no..nt a ghost story. bt a child who was abused by the mom when he was young.
and i cant stop "feeling something" abt it.
affecting my current mood, my thoughts.
(not that i have a personal experience like his.)(its just the 1st chapter..gosh!)

so tell me..macam mane nie nak jadi counsellor??
klk nt professionally pon, at least a skill which will benefit myself and my closed loved ones.
the art of detachment...NIL.

bt then..hey..im being authentic. true to myself.
i believe that EVERY kid deserves a good childhood. a loving r'ship with the parents.
that's the value which i firmly stand by.
ok not bad, now i think im "somewhere".
=) i feel much betta rambling away..hee! i deal with my short comings later on!
