@Nic, Pril, Nyz: Same title with my Indonesian blog, but don't worry it'll be a different story.
I've found my dream book last night. My dream book is the book that I use to write my resolutions and dreams. I have used this book since 2008. I couldn't recall whether I wrote it on new year's eve last year, but when I found the book last night, I put it on the table, ready to write it for second-semester-of-2012's resolution.
I thought I could start another research project this month, but the grant money has not been approved, so I should wait till next month till I can work on this project for my Monday. I started to read my Chinese 3 textbook, but I felt distracted after a few minutes! Aaaaaaaargggh!
Let me share with you what happened so far between 19 July - 6 August. Hahaha.
On Saturday, I attended a workshop on "Encouraging Spontaneous Language in Children with Autism". It is very hard for children with autism to initiate conversation and the parents are longing to listen to the children trying to start a conversation and desire to share their experience with the parents. After attending the talk, I went to Plaza Singapura and saw the aquarium exhibition. I saw a little kid (I think around 3 years old) pointed the fish and talked something to the mother and the mother just played with her phone. I felt soooo sad. It's so ironic. Many parents out there are longing for the children to interact with them, but here some parents ignore the children who want to interact with them.
Last Sunday I saw a man with a walking difficulty crossing the road near my house. The road is not wide, but the man has not finished crossing the road when the light that indicates that "it's time to cross now" went back to red. I guess it's a small little thing, but I do think that a lot of infrastructure in Singapore is still not friendly towards people with physical disability. During NUANSA preparation, when me and Helen tried to carry a pack of magazines from SIF using a wheeled-office chair, we went through the route for wheel-chair users and it was sooo long and confusing.
Two Saturdays ago I went climbing with Krizia, Paul, Ci Yaya (my roommate), Ci Yaya's friend, Frank (my housemate), and Frank's wife. It was sooo fun. Hahaha. The first time Ci Yaya belayed me, I was quite scared to fall because I has not trusted her. But after a while, I gained confidence in her and tried the difficult route when she belayed me. Hehehe. Some parts of my left palm became very rough (anyway, my skin is not smooth hahaha), and a bit peeling off.
I went to drink white beer with Ci Yaya and her friend after the climbing. Quite nice :p Initially I didn't like beer (I prefer wine :p), but actually it is not bad. My mom was surprised when I went back in December 2011 because I could drink wine (I shared a glass of wine with my dad). I used to have a stereotype that people who drink are bad people! Hahaha. Now I know that it's the matter of temperance. Any excessive activities are not good! Drinking in moderation is okay (don't worry, it's not a hobby for me :P). The good thing about it is I think drinking can be a nice way to chillax with your dad!! When my parents came here, we went to a pub in Clarke Quay and had a drink. My dad ordered "Shangria" (how to spell??). I loved it! hahaha..
A few weeks ago when I was distracted during work, I browsed NUS Website for the master's programme. Ahhh I really miss school. I found out that there is a scholarship for Master's coursework program in Southeast Asian Studies, but at this moment, I really want to finish my three-year-tuition grant bond first.
Yesterday I went baking cookies with legionaries! To be honest, initially I was quite lazy (I can't bake!!), but yesterday was very FUN!! It's been a long time since the last time we had fun together. Hahaha, so I really really enjoy yesterday's baking+watching Olympics+watching DVD on Catholicism series :P (Thanks to Dom and Eugene!!)
What else?
ahhh...for those who read my blog, my life is not only a happy life :P It's just that it's difficult to express sadness in English. Hahaha. I actually cried twice this week :P HAHAHA..But nevermind, the key is to get up again :):) Bouncing!! like basketball :)
Have a great week ahead :)
