First Day of Work

Sorry guys!Haha!So long nv blog liao.Thought i am abadoning this blog already rite?Haha.Had been so busy going out la.Tat's y no time to blog too.hee

Anyway, gonna share with you all about my 1st day of work.

My 1st day of work gave me a really big shock. All along I was told that I would be entering to the child and adolescent department to do some outreach work.Therefore, the supervisors and such briefed me about the children programs and make me mentally prepared for the job.

Then, the shock came in. A lady from the Psycho Geriatric department, which means the elderly department, handed in a resignation today and therefore there is a place there that needed a social worker urgently.

Hence, the supervisors had a meeting and decided to ask me would I mind to change to the elderly department instead. Although my passion may not be in elderly, seeing that all the timings of events fitted so well coincidently, I believed that God is trying to plan things out for me. So, I accepted the offer to go to the elderly department.Maybe it's Lesson 1 for my obedience to God.Haha.

The staffs there are all very nice and welcoming. My office is a ward that contains 4 people including me.Haha.And one of them is a same batch course mate with me.Phew.So gald to have someone I know to work with.hee.

Since this is my 1st day, everything is still quite slack for me.But I know my slacking time will not be long as I see my fellow colleagues was busy like mad while I was just sitting around reading.haha.

Cheers

Taste Of Honey:

There are people who asked me why would I choose IMH where there are many sad cases to work in.
This is my reply:

The situations that the patient are in may be saddening.However, I am happy that I am in a position that is able to do something and improve their quality of life.It is far much better than knowing about the existence of these situations but not being able to do anything at all.

China trip- Day 2

This day we went for a tour on the East line of Xi'an.
We were so excited for the trip that we all woke up too early and therefore got time to go walk walk in the neighborhood. As it was the earthquake period.Alot of people chose to sleep in the park instead to play safe.

A man carrying his mattress back home, and people behind cleaning the litters left behind.

Anyway, we had breakfast and tried their 肉夹膜。It is call 肉夹膜 instead of 膜夹肉 is because it is 肉夹于膜。Like that also can rite?Haha!

The Wan ton soup we drank.

The 锅贴. So oily sia.Haha!

First location of the trip, we went to 西安事变地点,and learnt about the histroy of how 蒋介石 was forced to cooperate with the 解放军 to fight against the Japanese during second world war.

This is the place that put their weapons and train their soldiers.
This is the place where 蒋介石 hid when he was chased by the 解放军.

The wall craved the whole story of the 西安事变.

Next, we went to a temple to see the 舍利子.It was said that this is the bone of the skull of the Buddha. Obviously it is the fake version.The real version had to spent another 100RMB just to go in and see. Weicong and Yuan Ern went in to see the real one and was persuaded to donate money to the temple. Weicong gave 400RMB lor!!!!Phew, lucky I din go in.Hahaa!
These are the two creatures that protected the Buddha.But come to think of it, how come Buddha also needed things to protect him?Hmmm....
Anyway, it was said that touching different parts of it can be benefited one.
Guys should touch this.
Ladies should touch this.
For me, I touched the nose that should give me more money and the thights that should give me 桃花运.Tried, Tested, but till now still does not seems to be working.Haha.
Before lunch, we went to this jade shop claiming that they would be the only one that sell the genuine jade with gurantee too. I bought a pair of jade for my mummy.It is called the 丝绸玉 that has around 70-90% similarity as they are make from the same stone.
Lunch finally and I managed to try the Dog Meat!!!Not fantastically nice la.But still edible.Haha!

Finally, we can go to the Highlight of the day, 兵马俑!!!
This is the person that found the 兵马俑.

And the signature that he wrote on every book.
Found this poster along the way that my friend say look like me.haha!So took a picture with it too.
Lastly, we went to 华清池.The place where many emperors took their bath in before.

This is the garden that the emperor brought the empress 杨玉环 to拍拖 every night.
The emperor's Bathtub.So big rite?Like a swimming pool like that lor!

杨玉环's bathtub.
Her dry and comb hair area.On top of that shelter.
Our turn to try and play with the 温泉水.Said to be able to smoothen your skin and treat any skin disease.

Before we went to buy tickets for the trip to inner mongolia the next day, we went past the 城墙 of the 古城.

At night, we went to walk around the 钟楼 and 鼓楼.So nice at night rite?
We also ate the 牛羊泡馍. Din really suit my taste cos abit bland and like eating soaking bread.haha!
