now i noe y i cant be a social worker

yup, now i know why i cant be a social worker. I mean, i do have wad it takes, at least in terms of patience n a listening ear, but darn, i faulter. Today, someone told me something tt happened in her life. Nope, i'm not gonna reveal what exactly it is coz its up to her if she will let out the news. The thing is, the more she said about it, e sadder i got. And at first, i was the one asking, 'so, r u ok?', but den later, she became the one asking, 'hmm, r u ok?' coz i've got tiz really upset look on my face n damn, those active tear ducts!! Arghh, yup, i cried. I'm so damn emotional lah! wad to do? EQ high is like tt one mah. N i felt so sad.. Then again, i thought of e quote, Dont cry becoz its over, smile becoz it happened.

Like hello?? I'm supposed to be the one who is strong and to play the role of a comforter, or at least, juz to be there n be strong, but in the end it turned out that she ended up asking if i was alright. Can u imagine what will happen if i'm a social worker n my clients start telling me bout their life story n i start weeping? Walau, seriously.

Anyway, on e brighter side of things, i realised tt kids love me! hahahaha. Yes its true. Today while taking bus 198 to school, there was this 2-yr-old kid sitting in front of me. Her mum was carrying her so it meant tt e lil girl was facing me. This 'lil girl suddenly turned and looked in my direction and as usual, i'd give e toothy grin n attempt to make kids laugh by making all kinds of funny faces. And yup, she laughed. Well, she smiled. N den she extented her index finger to me, n i did likewise. It was like the scene in ET, and we actually joined n touched each other's fingers. Aww man. It was so sweet. N most kids juz love to grip my finger. It's really so heart-warming when they wrap their hand round my finger. Those little fingers, so small, yet the grip/cling can be quite tight actually. I just love kids! Ok, not those pesky kids tt yell to the top of their voices, but those adorable ones.

Oh n 1 last thing, YIH is really freezing cold. I was so 'fortunate' today to take the ultimate freezer seat, sitting under 2 air cons which was like full blast or smth. And i had to look like some jay chou imposter/poseur putting on e hood attached to the teamNUS jacket. Still, it was cold. Brrr. No matter how i sat on my hands to provide some warmth, it was still..hmm, COLD! My nose started running n mucus juz came out. I hope wad i think is not true, tt is, i hope i'm not falling sick. Coz i experienced signs of falling sick ytd. Well, today, to make sure i really dont fall sick, i ate an orange in e morning, ate a slice of watermelon for lunch, and bought carrot-apple juice to drink at YIH. Make sure there's xtra dose of vitamin C to boost the immunity system. Brought deedee[my laptop] to sch today n let yunshan see all e pics i have taken so far. Eh, much to her surprise, she realised tt i dun really take so many pictures aft all. Hahaha. Yup, not as many as she expected it to be. This can only mean 1 thing, u all have gotta take more pics lah! So i can have more pics in my computer.

  • your crying is a signal that you can sympathise with them! it's good. sympathy is impt in social work... but so is controlling your emotions, which can be trained ;) social workers can get emotionally affected too!
