towards the end of march
this year's CNY has been very different.
positively different.
=)
amazing.
now school has restarted. shit's gonna start pouring in...
and my motivation is to complete my assignments on time with any standard to speak of, even if
i have to burn midnight oil.
and off course phantom at the end of march...
猪年
恭喜发财！！！愿主赐你平安，健康。
原来年除夕也可以与平日一样。。。或许它会比平日更闷。。。
时间也一样嘀嗒嘀嗒的过。。。我猜想。。
我们真的团圆吗？
来来回回，吃了，喝了，笑了后。。。新年就是这样的吧。。。我可不像以前一样，超级积极地想拿红包 （因为我知道，我没那一次红包，我父母就得分发一些。。哈哈哈。）。
迎新春 也就是欢迎新的一年的到来。。。 它象征了什么。。为什么有拜年这回事。。。守岁呢？就昨晚我在巴士上听到一对青年的对话。。。
男：你明晚会在哪里？
女：哦，外婆家咯。
男：then, 然后呢？
女：守岁咯。
男：不睡觉啊？可以吗?
女：不懂啦。。。他们讲守岁父母长命。。。
男：then 我也可以啊。。。赌博算吗？也是没有睡啊！！赌博，我可以不用睡。
女：（傻笑）。。
男：then平常我们迟睡不算啊。。。直到了除夕才pandang...
好啦。。。
我还是去读书吧！。。。
好一个除夕夜
约
这是一个约。
在时间之内，在时间之外。
在刹那，在永恒。
约定，在这神圣，宁静，辉煌的一刻，周那艰难又艰难的路。
约定，在温馨的微笑和注目的静默之间，透视那晴晴雨雨。
约定，为了州一个共同的方向，就让潮水翻涌，逆水而上的路，总有你我坚定的脚踪。
-- 以上是我从我朋友的结婚典礼上，婚礼程序里 所读到的。

tight...
dilemma...

patch-pired
so now blogger has removed its beta status and is well under google le...
had so much trouble logging in until cHeK pointed out smth..
right now, it's already one week away from mid term break and this time round, MT break is CNY week...so LL have to spend some time on papers and revision. Immediately after the break, i have a paper due and MT test. sighz..
it is either 1. i think learning is not just mugging... 2. i've learnt how to learnt...3. i've become slacker... or 4. the modules i am doing now aren't really theories but alot of common sense...
i am taking things a lil easier...
and this is causing a lil discomfort once in a while... cognitive dissonance...
2 outstanding things i'm up to:
volunteering at NUH
singing in a band... more will be shared another time.
I want to share with u all my 2 brief session at one of the children's ward in NUH where i volunteer. I see groups of medical students, to with their doc in charge walking along the corridor and entering compartments in the ward. over there, they will start sharing and discussing what is with the patient.
* to me, i wonder how the patient and their family were feeling*
I walked around and played/interacted with the sick and some very helpless children and my heart really go out to them... I know the nurses have to face them daily and they have paramount concern towards their health care...and some patients really are difficult to pacify...
perhaps, they would first feel... irritated, frustration...then would these emotions become a sense of indifference (treating the sick human beings as "another of those") and even to the extent of being numb to the pain and sufferings...
I wonder as a social worker and i am not refering to medical social worker... how would i rise up to the occasion to feel and not to feel for my clients; to enter their internal frame of reference and not be attached...对事不对人？？？是这样吗？also not right... ...
doctors, are they getting too used to seeing patient suffering, not able to breathe properly, unable to sleep well...and the doctors just report to work...knock after shift...go home and have their dinner and zzz....at the end of the month, get their pay...
I am watching patch adams... it is very...well...thought provoking.
PRAYER ANSWERED.
