Hazy days in Singapore.

Oh gosh. I won't ever take our daily fresh air for granted anymore. Moreover my head spins whenever I wear the N95 mask. Sucky feeling. :( Still gotta work, so let's 苦中作乐!)

學會愛自己。

學會愛自己:我們都不是完美的人,但我們要接受不完美的自己。在孤獨的時候給自己安慰;在寂寞的時候給自己溫暖。  學會獨立,告別依賴,對軟弱的自己說再見。

生活不是只有溫暖,人生的路不會永遠平坦,但只要你對自己有信心,知道自己的價值,懂的珍惜自己,世界的一切不完美,你都可以坦然面對。

Bread and butter #476 (Just a process of polishing the diamond...)

Tuesday's examination meant more than just an examination. It's a professional and personal milestone. It's a showcase of my client's strengths and efforts. It's a compilation of the potential therapeutic possibilities in my SW journey. :')

提升水準的時候來了! :)

面對逆境,讓自己安靜下來,抱著感恩的心境 ,
想這是提升水準的時候,試煉又來了,而不是折磨。

Bread and butter #474 (Small group closure once more!)

As nature of mock exam was adjusted, we had one more week of small group time and that means... YEAH!!! More practice, more time with team mates, more time for more connecting moments.
We didn't eat hakka food and duck rice as planned. We ended our day early and Elijah could have an earlier rest. The only thing that happened according to our plans was that we had gongcha, but that was nonetheless different as well because Elijah gave us a treat.
I am two weeks away from my exams, and I just (yes only just!) selected my 3 minutes segment for my clinical presentation. During university days, I chose my major only when I was in Semester 2 of Year 2. During my practice as a Social Worker, I only conducted an assembly talk and took up a case with emotional troubles after 3-4 years of direct practice. There is just this thing between me and delays and/or slowness.
No right or wrong. But at least after every slow (and perhaps scary) moment of life, I find myself balancing and slowly finding my way and being more aware of where I want or can move towards.
At the same time, I want to remain tentative, stay with the present, and be curious about the future- Who knows what will happen along the way...
Many thanks to those who have been supporting me in this journey through individual unique ways. :)

SW pals :)

Good Friday with them. Really good. :)

The smallest things.

Sometimes I share the smallest or most mundane thoughts and feelings with you guys, because I treat you guys as good friends, and I trust that I won't be judged no matter what I say or do. It's not that I've nothing better to do or worry about. I've got tonnes of things to do, just like anybody else.

Having to think through before I talk is something I do in my professional work, but perhaps in personal life, I need to beef up that aspect as well. But I just wonder if being friends do include the need of packaging words or behaviour in a certain way. Is that still being genuine? I know we don't hurt our friends with insensitive remarks, but is there a need to dismiss a random thought just because you have a deeper or more meaningful thought than I did?

I suck at waffle-lizing myself, but I will try it. Waffles with icecream. Yums! :)

I know how it feels...

You know, I know how it feels like to not feel belonged. It's a scary feeling.

You are in the clique. You are in the Whatsapp Group. You are included for social gatherings. But most of the time, you don't feel that your presence made a difference.

You feel that everyone else is concerned about each other except you. Yes, there are rare moments when you feel cared for, but they are so rare that the lonely moments are more overpowering. And that's a lonely feeling to feel.

You need to still conform to social norms, pretend that you are not affected, pretend that you are okay when you are lonely, because alternative behaviour will push them more apart from yourself. And the last thing you want to feel is to feel more alone.

They don't really understand you, and they don't affirm your words and thoughts as well. They just don't know what to do with you. They leave you alone. Makes you wonder if you are really so not well-liked. "Is there something wrong with me?"

But you still try your very best to appreciate those nurturing and heartwarming moments that you have with them, hoping that all these can help yourself feel okay about the relationships. But you know things will never be the same again. You try to keep the relationships alive by putting your heart and soul into it, but somehow you don't feel they reciprocate at the same level as you.

Everyone yearns to feel belonged. Everyone yearns to be cared for. It is the time when you allow one in your life to doubt your genuine care and concern that stabs one right in the heart and lose faith altogether. In you and in oneself.


Counting my blessings, daily.
