fyi, Mango is having sale..so to those of u who are mango addicts like me, now is the time to go shopping there..i always wait for mango to haf sale b4 buying their clothes..so jus now, i bought myself a long sleeve top for 19 bucks..think im gonna get another one fr there..i went to the one at TM jus now, n the place was super packed seh..me n hani spent ard 1 hr looking through the piles of clothes..i think the crowd gave me a huge headache after dat..hehe
well poor hani..she lost her hp!! yes, how depressing can dat be..she didnt realise her hp was missing until we were at ntuc to withdraw some cash..dats wen she asked me to call her hp, but it was already switched off..she said someone mus haf reached into her bag to take the hp while we were bz shopping at mango..guess she didnt feel someone reached into her bag cos of the crowd..so many ppl pushing one another..so she would'nt haf thot dat someone wud actually steal her hp..haiz she was so down after dat..called her mom n bf to inform them abt it..but she champion ah, she bought a new hp on the spot jus now after getting a replacement for her sim card..she got herself the nokia flip fone 7270..hehe but she said, she's so heartbroken cos she lost all the memorable pics and impt numbers in her old hp..i understand how dat feels la..if i was her, i wud feel damn fed up also..arsehole sia all these ppl who steal other ppl's stuff..nak kene chop off their hands already..then they scared! luckily she memang wanna buy a new hp, jus waiting for her pay to come in n trade in the old hp..takpelah gerl, dah takde rezeki..its a lesson for us to learn also..take care of our valuables esp in crowded places..girls, take care of ur handbags..if u go shopping wif ur bfs, get them to jaga ur bag for u..hehe
meeting kisha, ain n ita tmr after work to do non's collage..already chose the photos which we wanna work on..if tmr cant finish doin it, we'll cont on saturday after my mendaki class..yes, mendaki class starting dis sat..haiz makin tambah penat seh.. but its ok, only 1 more mth to go b4 my attachment ends..yay!

shall take some time to update my blog now..well work was quite tiring jus now..in the morning, i had counselling for the new batch of inmates..so far, they all ok2 la..looks like im gonna haf the prob that hani had wif the previous batch..language barrier!! cos jus now, most of them cant speak and write eng..so i hafta speak malay..my malay dah lah so rabakz!! then im nt sure how im gonna conduct the group session if got language prob..well i jus pray dat the other half can speak eng la.. then after counselling, we rushed back to the office to finish up the recordings for the first batch of inmates..didnt see them jus now, so didnt get to bid our farewell..haiz my supervisor took 2 days of emergency leave some more..but then, its gd la if she's nt ard..hehe
n last sat, met up wif kisha at bugis..n we took neoprint!haha so long never take neoprint wif her..so we walk2 n shopped a bit..i bought a top n a pair of shoes fr xodus..then yest, went out wif dearie n i bought sandals fr u.r.s..gosh!! im a sucker for footwear..i counted the number of slippers n sandals n shoes i have on the shoe rack outside my house..there's ten pairs altogether!! n dat havent include the ones i haf in the shoe compartment in the balcony..dats how crazy i am over footwear!! think im goin to give away some of them la..since i dun really wear them anymore..worse come to worse, throw them away..it seems unhygienic to give ppl ur used shoes rite..
then yest, i dunno wats up wif my bf..he's extra corny n cracking all sorts of nonsensical jokes..n i went along laughing at every single one of them!! seriously, i nvr thot dat a guy can haf such a gd sense of humour..i dunno where he gets all those crazy ideas fr but it's very spontaneous of him to think smth corny like dat..if only i can type out wat he said yest, but it would'nt haf the same effect if u were to hear him live..haha in a sense, he has a lot of things in common with my dad.. in terms of patience n corny-ness esp..hehe it's my dream to find someone as special as my dad..i told dearie dat yest n i actually saw the glow on his face after dat..haha i can imagine how well the both of them are goin to get along with each other in the future..insya'allah well dear, u can treat him as ur real dad u noe..i dun mind.
~flew by @ 8:19 PM
my, my...i guessed today was the best day at work so far..minus all those paper work which we rushed to do of coz..well i had group counselling session jus now after lunch..today's session was the last session for this batch of inmates..everything was as per normal, where we discussed n talk about the diff skills which they can apply when they are released later..then towards the end, when i was about to terminate the session, i told them dat i had a really gd and memorable experience to be able to work with them.. hopefully, they benefitted from all those counselling sessions which they had wif me so far..then they all replied by thanking me for the guidance which i had provided them with in such a short period of time.. they think wat was covered in the counselling session will be of a gd help for them in the future la..then the whole group gave me a round of applause as a gesture of appreciation..i was so touched by dat seh..n each of them thanked me again b4 leaving the session..gosh! i was so dumb strucked by their actions..they actually acknowledged me as their counsellor..hehe
me n hani think dat we're really gonna miss this batch of inmates..well after all those rapport building and closer bonds created, we wont be seeing them anymore from mon onwards.. furthermore, everyone of them has those distinct characters..some are so outspoken, some are reserved, we also have the jokers n the polite ones..its all in one la.. which makes the group dynamic very vibrant..so it was a kinda emotional moment for me jus now..yeah2, im a very sentimental gerl ;-) some of them told me again.."ma'am, on monday u coming here again rite? we meet u outside the gate ah..get ur contact number..or if we dun meet u, we call up the office to get ur number.." haha tak give up seh dia org..but then, as their counsellor, its a DAMN good feeling to see ur inmates feeling very motivated to change..n i guess this is wat they said abt working as a social worker.. u really get to feel the satisfaction out of the job! true indeed.
~flew by @ 10:42 PM
im at work now..jus finished up all the paper work..so many of those to be completed.. n im sure there's more to come..well im alone for today since hani is having tutorial in sch..n jus now, i had to do two group counselling sessions..mine and hers..but then, its not as bad as i thot la..the officers there were asking y am i alone today..hehe had a great time doin the group sessions..lucky none of them gave me any major problems.. my grp members actually asked if there is any way they can contact me in the future..dat came to me as a real shocker la..they actually liked my counselling sessions..haha but then of coz im nt allowed to disclose my contact number to them la..so i explained to them dat i cant do dat as long as im still their counsellor in prison.. if they bumped into me in the future tu, lain cerita la..haha then one of them said, "if like dat, we wait for u outside the prison gate lor on monday, before we leave for the halfway house. Because by then,we are no longer in prison wat.." haiz buat gelak ah dia org
well, i thot wanna cabut fr work after the counselling session jus now since nobody will even noe if i cabut except for HIM la..hehe my supervisor nt around dis week, n i doubt the ppl in the office will notice if i didnt come to the office..but then, i got nowhere to go also..wanna go home but there's nothing to do at hm..i thot wanna go out for lunch or something..but no one is free..nt even dat bf of mine who is not working today..i think he's bz lepaking at hm now..he cant be bothered to take the trouble to meet up wif me for a while..but then, its okie..at most, i'll jus give him the cold shoulder treatment only..haha so i actually skipped lunch today..n im damn hungry now..haiz
gonna prepare for tmr's group counselling session first b4 goin off..i shall leave an hr b4 my usual working hr ends..kwang3 im such an evil person ;-P
p/s: oh yes, its my gd fren's bday today..Happy Bday kisha!! Haf fun being 21...n remain the way u r sweetie!!may god bless ya...
~flew by @ 4:01 PM
haiz..weekends are over..tsk tsk i didnt even get to do anything much..n its back to work tmr.. boring!! my supervisor on vacation leave some more..so me n hani are on our own for the whole week
i went on a date wif dearie jus now..haha met him at bugis mrt since he wanna get smth at bugis but in the end, he cant find wat he wants to get..same goes for me..planned to get a number of things but none seems to attract me..in the end, i didnt even shop for anything..only bought for non her farewell gift..got her dis roxy pouch..im forever buying for her roxy stuff, cos i noe she'll definitely love it..hehe then looked ard for kisha's bday gift also..was thinking of getting her a braun buffel wallet..saw one nice one jus now but ain told me to checked out the price of the watch which kisha wanted..so i went to the watch shop at tamp central to check it out..i guess dat one was over our budget..hehe anw dearie bought contact lens jus now..we walked ard bugis n town..satu benda pun tak beli..in the end, he bought contact lens at tamp, the shop which i always get my lens..haha well, he got a gd price la..dats bcos im a regular at the shop..i think i wanna get a new pair of glasses also..saw some nice frames there..dearie suggested dat i shld wear glasses wen i go out..but then, like tak kene seh i wear glasses wif tudung..haha but its ok, i shall take his idea into consideration..haha
after that, lepak at starbucks TM for a while b4 heading home..had an awesome time jus now goin out wif him..he cracked some lame n corny jokes which made me laughed alot..well, cant help it, we're both lame ppl..haha n he looked cute wif his short hair.. told him so many times dat he looked much better in short hair..then he, tak abis2 ngan his O.C style of hair..well wateva it is, i love him loads..no doubt abt dat ;-) k k, b4 anybody starts puking reading dis entry due to its overdose of mushy-ness, i shall stop here la..hehheh
~flew by @ 11:51 PM
hmm..weekends
its friday...weekends are here finally..planned some things for the weekends actually..meeting up wif kisha n ain to get non's present tmr..my dear fren is leaving for melbourne australia soon..gonna miss her loads seh..sob sob dats 1/5 of our gang gone.. we planned to get a lil present n do a collage photo of us..dats gonna be interesting..n kisha's bday is also coming..looks like i cant spend so much on myself dis mth..hehe baru plan nak beli mcm2 later wen i meet up wif dearie for our shopping spree dis sunday..looks like i can only shop for half of the stuff i intend to get la..
anw i watched mr n mrs smith wif dearie yest after work..personally, i think the movie was awesome..brad pitt n angelina jolie had chemistry in the film..its really cute to see how they will first fight until both of them bled before kissing n making out in the end..haha i wud definitely recommend the movie to u guys
well lets talk abt work now..had one counselling session jus now..im starting to grow attached to the group of inmates which i am in charge of..they'll be released on the 20th june..which means i only haf till nxt week to conduct group n individual counselling wif them..the reason y i say im feeling attached to them is dat they r really nice ppl to work with..i enjoyed the group counselling cos it was a gd feeling to see all of them so semangat n willing to share their experiences..i believed some of them genuinely wanna change, its jus dat they need someone to keep reminding them not to go back to their old habits..one inmate of mine told me jus now dat its not dat he dun wanna change..he has plans to take care of his family n all dat..but circumstances make them fall back to their old ways..wat he needs is constant support basically..i treated most of the inmates like a fren..its a better approach so dat they are more willing to open up me abt their problems..most of the inmates dun really like the counsellors in the prison cos instead of listening to their concerns, they are merely telling them wat to do, which the dont like at all.. i guess at the end of the day, wat these inmates really want is a listening ear for them to pour out their feelings n concerns..they know dat they committed an offence, thus they dun need the counsellor to remand them abt their past..well im jus glad dat these inmates benefit fr my counselling session..one inmate told me dat he prefers talking to me abt his concerns than his own counsellor in prison, which was really flattering la..so me n hani dah mcm kawan ah dgn dia org.. definitely gonna miss them wen they're gone..n then comes the new batch of inmates which we are in charge of..hopefully the new grp will be jus as fun to work with
oh yah, these are the list of office dares which i was talking abt..haf fun reading thru them :-p
OFFICE DARES
- Run one lap around the office at top speed
- Call someone in the office you barely know, leave your name and say, "Just called to say I can't talk right now. Bye."
- To signal the end of a conversation, clamp your hands over your ears.
- Leave your zipper open for one hour. If anyone points it out, say, "Sorry, I really prefer it this way"
- Walk sideways to the photocopier.
- While riding in an elevator, gasp dramatically every time the doors open.
- Every time someone asks you to do something, ask if they want fries with that.
- Shout random numbers while someone is counting.
- At the end of a meeting, suggest that, for once, it would be nice to conclude with the singing of the national anthem (extra points if you actually launch into it yourself).
- Walk into a very busy person's office and while they watch you with growing irritation, turn the light switch on/off 10 times.
- For an hour, refer to everyone you speak to as "Bob.”
- While an officemate is out, move their chair into the elevator.
- In a meeting or crowded situation, slap your forehead repeatedly and mutter, “Shut up, **** it, all of you just shut up!"
- Repeat the following conversation 10 times to the same person: "Do you hear that?" "What?" "Never mind, it's gone now.”
- Find the vacuum and start vacuuming around your desk.
- Hang a two-foot long piece of toilet roll from the back of your pants and act genuinely surprised when someone points it out.
- Present meeting attendees with a cup of coffee and biscuit, smash each biscuit with your fist.
- During the course of a meeting, slowly edge your chair towards the door.
- Page yourself over the intercom (do not disguise your voice).

the weekends are here..no plans for me..jus spending my time at home to rest my mind n soul..hehe
work has been goin fine so far..had counselling session on thur n fri..so far, the ones whom i counsel were pretty ok la..they dun gif me any problems, which was a relieve! went to changi vilage wif hani on both days to have our lunch.. on thur, we ate there n on fri, we tapao the food n eat in the office since its more comfortable wif the aircon n all..the weather is scorching hot nowadays
well i met up wif dearie yest n the day before..we had some misunderstanding last thur..i guess i hurt his feelings with my words in the midst of anger and frustration.. actually nthg major happened which led to dis misunderstanding..i haf no idea y i suddenly got so pissed at him n said all those things..dats wen he decided to met up wif me after work on thur to slow talk..he asked what is really bothering me until i brought up issues which i shld'nt have..so i told him how i felt abt us.. as for dearie, he's been great..always willing to listen to me n put up wif my behaviour..he is so patient wif my mood-swings all these while n i was really moved by his words last thur..i guess i can really feel the sincerity in him n in the end, im the one who felt bad for hurting his feelings..he told me nicely dat i shld get a hang of myself n try to relax a bit, nt to get worked up over nitty gritty things..
i guess i treated him as my punching bag..vent all my frustrations on him..haiz mebbi i took his patience for granted..i told myself dat i'll try to change my attitude and nt gif him too much trouble..sometimes i really pity him..he already has problems of his own n i add on to it..anw im glad to say dat things are already fine between us n it felt gd to be in his arms again..we had our quiet moments wen we met up on both days, enjoying the sounds of the waves breaking on the shore..i would say dat was one of the great moments we both had thus far *i love u baby*
