H.E.C.T.I.C.

it's been a busy week. busy with what? I'm not sure either.

School, School, School. and more school.

School work has now officially occupied my sunday too. oh that sad.

Misses church service for the pass 3 weeks. I told them i was hiding in the cave. haha.

I had no time, seriously. Still trying to catch up with all the literature readings, more refining of the presentation slides and now, still brainstorming about the role play.

Afternoon had more discussion about my paediatrics module. We need to plan a treatment session for the kid, who is diagnosed as ADHD. it was exciting, just as we talk about it, we got confused then got clearer and then got confused again. haha.. but overall, everything went on well in today's discussion..

I can't wait for holiday on thursday. and yesterday was a waste.

Intention to visit the history museum with my family(including my grandfather), i thought bringing him back to living in the 70's would bring back lots of memory. But in the end we didn't make it to turn back time. But i bought my grandfather to explore a new dim sum restaurant in Marina Sq, food was just fair, and expensive. Then i bought him to Central @ clark quay to shop. haha...

Soaking him in the GSS atmosphere was kinda fun. Enjoying Ya kun toast with a cup of coffee.. Chit chating was fun too. I hope to have more of such outings with him. hope he enjoyed himself.

Talking about him, i hope my cousins and aunties would come to visit him more often. Since chinese new year, i had not most of my cousins coming to visit grandfather. And I wonder why. Are they really so busy that they can't even spare a sunday once a month to visit him.

He needs not only love from my family, but his other children too you know. Don't regret only when one is not around, cherish him while he's still by your side. I already learnt my lesson. I miss my grandma. I really wanna tell her alot. alot that is always stucked at the throat just because we are not the kinda family that will express our loves outwardly to one another.

I repented. That's why i made a promise to myself to spend more time with grandfather now.
What about the rest in the family.

Grandfather's health is deteriorating. I can finally see him growing old. I can feel it.
From him, I see how Occupational Therapy philosophy holds so true.
Only when you are doing an occupation, you are a being.
Due to his inactivity, he's growing old, more health issue surfacing.

I admire my grandfather, and i pray that my dad can grow old like my grandfather. Old but still strong. Independent in all ADLs, minimum assistance in community mobility. That's why i admire him.
