Tis a treat! Managed to get a couple of pictures of my workplace last Friday because Neeta unexpectedly brought her camera and we also had an excuse to whip the camera out and take some stills; another colleague surprised Krystal and me with mini cakes in celebration of our birthday! How sweeeeet! It’s only been 3 weeks in our training phase but we’ve all bonded nicely over long walks (14 minutes out to and back from lunch), waiting for the never-coming bus along car-filled roads, bitching and laughing good naturedly behind each other’s backs during training role play. HAHAHAHA! The things we laugh till we tear about.

I dont know how best to explain the work I do. Many ask if Im a teacher, but really, I am anything but. Sometimes we think of ourselves as teachers in our line of work, however, I would like to state for the record, I AM NOT A TEACHER because the skills we teach develop are anything but academic based. Simply put, I change maladaptive behaviours. It’s a noble job they say; a courageous job. I, however, say it’s just pure fun. Although we do have our moments where we’re completely drained by lunch time, other times when our ears go temporarily deaf due to excessive shrieking (not on our part of course), or times where battles are waged every other moment (seriously! those are terrible), the times when control is regained and breakthroughs are small miraculously brings a massive wave of satisfaction that just propels you to want to stand up on the chair and cheer loudly while thumping your chest like King Kong.

But we cant. Cause we have to remain professional. Haha! But you can imagine the overwhelming pride and joy at that very moment.

*sings We Are the Champions*

There are times we work on the floor but mostly we work at a desk. And this is mine!

This is my work desk with all my materials! I am such a messy person arent I?
But it’s not just my mess! I share materials with my other colleagues too!

And this is me… At my desk.

So chor lor! HAHAHAHAHA!

It’s clinic week this week. The Big Time Professionals are coming down all the way from the Asian head office to do Psychological Assessments alongside consultations.

And I got my first case already! Im excited yet very nervous. I dont know what to expect as is the case each and every day. But I WILL be triumphant!
