placement ended on a good note. with coffee and flowers and interesting discussions. with promises to keep in touch and what nots. now i look forward to my next placement. ideally at some far away beachside location. (preferably with lotsa sun and no stress) gah.. being sick is no fun. lying in bed like a sick puppy isn't exactly exciting or interesting. ... ok i forgot whatelse i wanted to say. i need to go grocery shopping. soon.

hello hello! i woke up early today to finish some documentation.. and its done and i've got spare time for once! haha! i've been watching sun rises since last monday and i conclude that the sun rises in a different way everyday.. (: some days its cloudy and the sun can barely be seen.. some days its so bright i dont want to look out of my window.. there's this baby at placement who only comes in on wednesdays.. and he is just the cutest! he has so much lovely brown hair its almost funny.. and he has the biggest eyes and the longest eyelashes.. and he fell asleep while i was carrying him in a sling.. and i didn't even realise till another teacher pointed it out to me.. and when he woke up and saw me, he smiled.. and that just melted my heart.. oh my, so cute so cute! ok.. enough gushing.. i shall go to work now.. just too badhe doesn't come in everyday.. boo.. (:

grr.. waking up at 630 in the morning is not funny.. it reminds me of st nicks except that this time, there's no breakfast and milo ready.. and its freezing.. ahh, the thought of st nicks makes me think of orange bowl and blue bowl and wanton and chicken rice.. yumm.. its odd hearing thunder and seeing huge raindrops in melbourne.. extremely odd.. even the babies found it odd.. i think i'm getting a sore throat.. which might have gotten fast tracked after a child coughed into my face.. for me to realise later in the day that he has a fever and possibly, a sore throat.. boo.. folding freshly washed cloth nappies is therapeutic, almost. being in charge is odd. being completely random, like now, is normal. when a human, ... , looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken
and still obeys. that's what frightens the devil most.

today was good (and i'm only halfway through the day!) i slept in and did my laundry i went to vic markets.. i soaked up the sights and sounds.. i bought some much needed vegetables and fruits.. i people watched.. i bought brekkie/lunch and a coffee.. i went home.. sat on my beanbag, enjoyed the view.. read my new jodi picoult book for a good 2 hours while enjoying my coffee.. i can't believe that i'm actually halfway through my placement.. this placement has been fantastic.. (despite the fact that my supervisor is a he with a partner that's a he as well. hmm.) i've been learning alot.. and i actually want placement to go on for longer.. its good exercise (after monday i was and still am aching).. its meaningful.. its fun.. its what i wanna do.. the only drawback is that my clothes smell like baby now.. my sweaters have tiny bits of food stains.. and i know there's drool on the two shoulders of my sweaters.. ah well.. i realise what frustrates me the most during placement is when an infant cries, and i've no idea what they want/need.. and it becomes this pointless guessing game.. its heartbreaking almost, when you can't soothe them.. but then again, i feel such a sense of triumph when i can soothe them or meet their needs.. and i know i made their world kinder, happier even.. even if its just for those few hours.. (:

its times like these where i wish there was somebody here that i can turn to. somebody who knows me best. if you knew how i felt, its times like these where i wish i were back home. where every moment is filled. where there is a shortage of time. would u call?its times like these where i regret.

" Wait for the Lord, be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord" Ps 27:14 did i tell u that i miss you so?i saw a full rainbow today and wondered who will find that pot of gold at the end of it. i'm beginning to get the hang of animations now.. stir's gonna be a computer guru. soon. i'm loving my mng knitwear and shall go shopping once i've handed in all my assignments. lenny's coming tmw! bearing gifts! yay! that should cheer me up once i hand in my essay on tues. so exciting! belated birthday present! (: stir wanna go backpacking round the world too. i want the excitement and wonder of seeing a country for the first time. of experiencing new things for the first time. stir regrets, slightly, cutting her hair short. its really cold when the wind/rain blows. well, at least its not as messy now. or messy can be its 'natural' look. heh. stir is angsty today and is blasting music so she can't hear her thoughts. i realise i have a neighbour with a dog at home! i heard the dog barking yesterday when i went home. so fun! hopefully its a cute dog with a friendly owner. so i can play with him/her/it. i happened to see a photo of my friend's dog today. it looks exactly like jude's old fat dog! hah!

rachel's early birthday surprise got foiled even before it started.. she went home early on the day where she shouldn't.. so patrick went to her place, and she was like, what are u doing here?! that completely spoilt it.. she even "surprised" the rest of us.. bah.. so much for blowing balloons to fill her room.. and i was so excited at the thought of surprising somebody! :( ah well, its the thought that counts right.. haha! it reminds me of the time the spices + jo went to jude's place to surprise her with balloons as well.. and she wasn't surprised cos she saw the guys downstairs.. boo..  pretty cupcakes from celest!  charlene and rachel look like they dont know what to do with the cupcakes cos they look too nice to be eaten.. (:   random random shots from rach's place.. hanging around, having a few good laughs.. (:  random shot of me and alycia (:  the pretty pretty cake from laurent with the pretty name of christine! our one saving grace for the night of foiled plans.. at least it was the one thing she didn't expect.. thanks to stir's selective memory.. heh..  rachel happily beaming at her favourite cake ack! i just realised we didn't get photos of the room semi-filled with balloons, and of the lilies we got for her! boo..
on a side note, i think i'm completely jaded/cynical/guarded in affairs of the heart now.. i couldn't even be bothered.. bah!
