this week is the first milestone for my internship because...
I'M HALFWAY THROUGH IT! Yipeeeee~
Actually come to think of it, I had more to do recently so time passed much faster the last few days. I understand better what I was doing than previously but seriously, the working mood greatly depends on the boss' mood for the day i guess. I'm really confused by the way he speaks when he's laughing and joking at one meeting and the next he's hinting i'm working too slow for a job given to me a week ago, but really, our last meeting was only 2 days ago and he did witness the stuff i've done "up-till-then" and still "approved" it. But what to do, i'm only an intern there to learn whatever i can, and if it involves seeing the moods of people then so be it.
6 weeks in also means i have to quickly do my interim report that has to be handed up soon. Goodness, there's like so many things to do but so little time. And 6 weeks also mean that my holiday is half way thru. Sad that almost all my uni holidays are spent doing school related stuff. Uni life sucks.
Anyway, recently went to do CIP with my group of friends @ an senior citizens' home. It's a yearly event and we went last year and so we decided to do it again! It was more fun than the previous year as we manage to "do" some mural painting instead of painting the base coat like we did last year. And many more bizarre things happened to me during the course of the day, which includes getting SMACK by a "seemingly-gentle" old woman and having interaction difficulties with old aunties. But i guess most of them are still really optimistic people and they do not let their situation bring them down, which is really a good thing that people should learn and it will make the day a better one. But seriously, looking after parents by yourself is the best option. Even if you put your parents into the best ward (there was these 2 beds/room kinds and 6-8beds/room), the wards may have lousy service. There was unflushed shit in the toilet bowls and also shit-splatter stain on the ground. And i witness a lady being (wheelchair) pushed into her room and left there dazed while the nurses attend to others because of the help constrain. It's really sad to not be able to do anything by yourself, and ignored because they know you can't too. The woman was sitting on her wheelchair for at least 10 mins doing absolutely nothing in the same position (I dunno when they attended to her because by then, I was preparing to leave the place already). Hais, but there's only so much one can do as we don't have the financial capability and time.
So, now that father's day is coming, have you thought of how to show your appreciation yet? I know that with or w/o gifts, a simple meal will be able to make their day and let them feel appreciated of all the things they've done for us for the whole lifetime. That's how great all fathers are, and that's how great my father is =D
"Happy FATHER's Day Dad!"
