ah die. i think im becoming a woman of few words. i don't know what to blog nowadays eh. right, lets backtrack and see what i have done this week...

mon
sch as usual, lessons from 10am to 4pm followed by meeting till 6.30pm. headed to yew tee for 'meet the people' session which freakingly ended at near 12AM!!! i was zombified during work probably because i had a long day in sch. and the fact that it ended way so late didnt help much huh. but mr yeo was nice thou, he asked me to leave first knowing that i live so far. but i stayed on since i probably have to cab home anyway. doesnt make much a diff.

tue
sch as usual. had presentation on autism research proposal. was fine i hope, even though the prof did mention certain things that we have overlooked. but oh well, which proposal/presentation aint flawless. studied at compasspt lib and met jiaji for dinner and home!

wed
lesson at freaking 8am = waking up at 6.15am =/ i almost fell aslp during lecture especially when the prof talked abt physics bio and whatever. zzzzz. headed to starbucks after lec ended and studied. the starbucks guy was nice to let me redeem a grande caramel machiatto because by right, redemption is only meant for tall size. heh! and west coast plaza starbucks is super conducive for studying =) love. headed back sch for personality lecture and home!

skipped my reproductive health tutorial since attendance wasnt counted and that was my only 1 hr of lesson, so i declared free thursday for me! therapy session in the evening. i always feel abit worried when i go for session. i really wonder how the mom thinks abt me when im doing the therapy. does she thinks like im a lousy therapist who cant handle her boy or she thinks that im already trying my best? u know, sometimes when the mom sits in, i cant be myself. its like everything i do, i must make sure im doing it according to her way and that comprises of the way i speak to the boy, the way i carry out my task etc. and i did a wrong move man. i was asking the boy to do a twisting task to practise his fine motor skill and i thought it was fine for me to increase the level of difficulty by giving one of the token that is slightly harder to twist (the boy has already mastered this task), but i was wrong! he was doing well and twisting really hard to get the token in but i think he got irritated at the end of it. he tapped my hand and asked for help and he suddenly cried. as in, reallly cried at the top of his voice and he started being disruptive. AND THATS IT. i lost him for the next 1 hr. nth interest him after that and it was a hard time man.

fri
sch as usual. lessons from 8am to 4pm followed by therapy at 5.30pm. somehow, the boy was an angel today =D totally cooperative. i guess over the 5 therapy sessions, im starting to learn to handle him. i guess i was too task-focused and i overloaded him somehow. and i was trying all ways to build rapport with him every session because he doesnt play with me. or rather, he dont see the need to play. so i decided to take it easy this session and it turns out pretty fine! of course, the success of it very much depends on the boy's mood on that day too. and i realised he likes people to carry him and turn in circles so i did. its like every 15mins or so, i will carry him and turn in circles. and i make sure he drinks water (because he doesnt understand that he is thirsty, he just get irritated), like lots of it so he remains well hydrated and not be disruptive ( i hope), i make sure i gave him lots of break time (which means, giving him books or toys for sensory stimulation. he likes to flip books which is a form of stereotypical or repetitive behaviour commonly seen in children with autism), i make sure im using as few words as possible to convey my meaning to him because if he doesnt understand what im trying to say, he will switch off and it wouldnt be easy to get him back again. ok, too much things to take into consideration, i shall stop here. but on the whole, fri's session was the best so far.

sat
