Dear Orange,
Time for another reflection sessioN! First the good news. I didnt do as badly in my mid term exams as i thought:) So i rewarded myself with an awesome dinner with sebas n david! We had white horfun with dou ya(both ends cut off!), XO beehoon and oily chicken with nice chilli. HAHA. We continued our food expedition to the icecream place at sunsetway. Woah the couch was so comfortable i swear i can fall asleep there! JJQ joined us too:D

Now that i am back in hall, reality caught up with me again:( I have so much work to do!! But I want to go home:((( Enough of procrastinating JM! The reason why I am blogging is to share some insights i have to the social work profession. The department invitied a medical social worker to speak to us today!
COntrary to what I've always thought, social workers need outlets to vent their emotions and frusfrations too. Thats great news for me:) It's good to know that social workers can cry like any other human in the work context. I really cannot imagine bottling up all my unhappiness and let it accumulate throughout the years. Its wonderful to get to hear from all these inspiring social workers, and i really can imagine myself gaining all that satisfaction i want in life(not in monetary terms)!
This is so important to me, yet i somehow have this fear about not having the capability and capacity to help people like how successful social workers in the field did. What if after I am euqipped with the knowledge and skills, but ultimately i dont have the x-factor/ am not cut out for social work?
I can see my path, but it looks so rocky, I am afraid i'll fall. Hahah but come to think of it maybe if I am a little more confident, I can manouvre through it more steadily. And even if i fall, there'll definitely be helping hands around me to push me on. YeP! Since I've decided that this is my career path, I shouldnt look back. The only way is forward!:D

Hhaha i am grateful that my mind is tuned in such a way that I almost always have happy thoughts:D

so noe comes the unhappy one: I have so much work to dooooo!!!!!!:(

gtg.
Love,joy:)
