So it's finally the third year first sem. I guess I'm really getting used to life here. So much changes in this year.
I went back to SG a month later I started Uni because Peng is finally married. It was such a wonderful and beautiful 2 day. :') It was a crazy week, with the tiring flights + stupid timing but I guess it's worth it. I definitely know I will regret that if I didn't go back, so good on me for doing something that I won't regret.
And as it's the third year, I guess i'm getting used to clinics now. It was so bad at the beginning because i haven't did fluency before and my clinical educator also did say we four are the 'lucky' ones experiencing this clinic cause it's the first time we are able to learn & apply at the same time. But the first few weeks was horrendous cause i absolutely did not know what to expect and i had a 4 year old client which meant i need to build rapport with the kid AND the mom.
But thank God that A is a great mom and really enthusiastic + understanding about me being a student clinician, and J is finally warming up to me now. Such a cutie, and he has a twin, E who always want me to play games with her hehe.
Now that clinics pretty much settled, I'm so happy to see that there actually has been progress for J and i'm the one responsible for that!!!! Okla, TBH i trained the mom and Mo did the therapy at home. And Emma actually praised and encouraged for saying that it was a great session today though i really felt like i was all over the place + flustered cause E turned up and Mo was distracted and I was distracted + needed to clarify some issues with Mo that requires careful treading. I mean how do you tell Mo that she's doing something wrong LOL. The answer is just be honest.
But with JC there's not much progress partially because he's not as motivated as he is a typical teen and he doesn't feel that his stutter is affecting his daily life. But then Emma praised me for both sessions well done so I guess there must be some redeeming factors that i did not see?
So grateful that UQ has this clinics thingy and how CE knows when to step in or not. Well, Emma never really came into my session, maybe just once for J and never ever for JC. So i guess i can really say they are my first ever 2 clients. :') So proud that i'm actually doing something right. Let's hope this motivation can continue and I'll always feel this way when i actually did something to help my clients.
This semester also has so many group assignments and us girls are just so mad confused about the requirements of these assignments. Blah.
That aside, I found another joy in my life with my fellow mummy. His name is Simba, and he was adopted from Milton markets. Samba loves his hugsy, snakes, beef minced, dry food, and his mommy's hands + areas that he can hook on to and never let go.
My silly bird. Was pretty sad when we found that he can't stay but i'm glad it all worked out well and we're still keeping him.
So thank you for being the first kitty and cat-to-be in my life.
Thank you for the instant bond that prompted me to adopt you no matter the odds.
Thank you for helping me to overcome my fear for cats (no matter how many times you accidentally scratched me).
Thank you for spoiling all my tastes in other cats and no matter how cute they are, you're still the cutest in my eyes.
And thank you, for loving me.
When you allowed me to put my palms on your belly when you just woke up cause my hands are cold.
When you hugged my hands with your four little paws and then you started to gnaw on them.
When you mewed so ever pitifully when i left for a night out for 15 minutes at the door, annoying the hell out of everyone else.
When you mewed even more pitifully when i just went to shower for 15 minutes. When you only allowed me to play you like you were my toy, and i yours.
Mummy will protect you all your little life and you'll always be the only cat for me (this i daresay cause i'm not a big fan of cats).
Lastly, something else has been brewing and i'm not sure what's going on. But i do know that it's not right, and i can't do anything about it but what i did. All i know is i kept my promises right til the end. So i pray that i'll get through it and eventually i'll find the sun again.

For I know the plans i have for you. They are plans for good and disaster, to give you a future and hope.
