Yo..its now a week now, since my exam ends..have been quite busy lately..talk about holiday!! So wat have I been busy lately? B4 I go on, I think its better for me to give a recap of wat have I been doin for the last few weeks…this is gonna b abit long..haha..bear with me:P

First, the visit to Home for the Elderlys, managed by Little Sisters of the Poor. The timing was bit closed to exam though..haha. The trip was organized by my fellow Legion of Mary members and that was my first visit to an old folks home..Looking at the residents there, some are mentally impaired, others challenged in terms of health conditions. Yet, the sisters there are still patient and have their minds intact. Before this, I have browsed thru internet finding info about wat a caregiver actually does (I wanted to get a job. In fact, at one stage thinking of becoming a caregiver since can’t get any other jobs)..so wat have I found? Quite a big percentage of caregivers suffer depression….imagine urself, facing ppl that are mentally impaired or terminally ill…everyday..oops, sounds like a health professional’s everyday life:P anyway, if I were given this kind of job, I would certainly be depressed…so when my fren asked me wats my thoughts after the visit? My answer was- what a high level of patience that the sisters have. But my fren’s reply made me ponder- it can be trained …True..how many of us are born to b patient and gentle? It takes time to nurture the virtues and some have to b trained. So often, I use the excuses eg ‘this task is sooo not for me’…perhaps when I face a difficulty next time, I should remember that it takes both time and thru training I can be better in handling things that im not good at, eg patience

Next was the exam period..although this sem has been more interesting, as we learnt about things that are more relevant to our everyday life…the diseases that we heard so often in the media…eg diabetes, heart attack, colds, flu….and their appropriate treatment….it’s interesting…but the amount of work…to me, it’s a lot..far greater than prev semesters…though mos of my classmates don think so…haha….mayb im the one being left behind in studies..nway, loads of reading and self study…in the finals, I kind of screwed up in my oral exam too: ( fortunately, my written exam are not as bad…I think …hope it wil be alright…to take special exam wil be a pain in the arse….haha..esp to apply for leave…not sure my boss wil b happy..haha..

And then, it’s over!! My exam is over…which is now…the current status. Unfortunately, I’m currently working in Little India, the Indian restaurant part time at night as waiter…and oso in a pharmacy in the morning..i work from 9 to 530pm..and then from 7pm to 930pm or sometime 10pm…rili crazy… I know…but its quite fun I must say….my boss are nice…and the staff members too…in both pharmacy and restaurant..although I broke glasses, give the dishes to wrong customers, type te labels wrongly, give the wrong medicine (oopss :P), my boss(es) din scold me..they jus reminded me…I think THAT shud be the proper attitude a senior or a leader shud have. …i always disagree with the leaders that scold subordinate in a middle of a crisis…when ur in it, the main purpose is NOT to point ur fingers finding WHO made the mistakes..its to SOLVE the prob!!! Do u think ur subordinate is not stressed enuf? Do u think he needs ur criticism to realize his/hers mistake at that time? U can have all the time in the world when the crisis is over, or during a review meeting…but not in the middle of a crisis, when ppl are stressed enuf!!

Ok, enuf of grumbling..haha..watched some movies too the other day…im quite amazed with myself, having time to watch movies despite having a top priorities to accomplish…cleaning up my room..nway, watched X-Men3, Narnia, Star Wars 3 …I know, all these are from ‘n’ years ago..but I have been busy ma…:P All of them are not bad…if u look at them closely, u wil notice they are actually quite meaningful…seriously..esp Narnia..think it was worth watching again..

Ok, its now time to get back to cleaning y room..wil kip all f u who r interested, updated with my life..won b goin back to Malaysia this yr…so im stuck here…so don expect much la…u shud hav known by now…there isn’t much interesting things here in Dunedin nway, tak k to my friends and families…May God bless us all : )
