Weekend - Saturday

Today, I woke up early in the morning to bid my parents goodbye as they headed off to Genting for a short trip with their friends. Today, is also the 1st day of my Diploma in Social Service Practice course (Intensive Lectures Term 3). To my surprise, I was 'fully awake' after I woke up. I thought I will be tossing and turning on my bed for a while before I actually wake up, but I did not. I guess part of me is feeling excited about this new term, but there is also another part of me that dread to go for the course as a way to spend my weekend... :) Feeling a little 'edgy', walked up and down my house, not knowing what to do to kill time, am afraid that I may wake up late if I sleep in again,... I decided to head for a swim. It was my 1st time swimming at Bouna Vista Swimming Complex. For the longest time, I have always wanted to 'visit' the swimming pool since I started working in Ghim Moh 2 years ago. Today, I finally fulfilled my 'wish'... :) It was a refreshing and therapeutic time though. After the swim, I was fully 'geared up' for the course... :p

Today, we revised on the topic of laws, and learnt how it may affects our daily work. I thought that I've absorbed much today, as compared to Term 1 when we first touched on this topic. It was explained with much patience, instead of rushing through it, and being "bombarded" with the various legal terms. I was also 'amazed' at myself for staying awake throughout the lesson (I guess the swim helps; am going to do it next Sat... :p). After the lesson, I realised that the usage of verbs are actually soooo... important when it comes to interpreting the law, and that alone makes 'studying' law interesting today. At least, I am aware that by knowing the law, it does somehow, change the way we approach our work, with the perspective of rendering help and support to the best interest of our clients.

Night time is "Home Alone"... :) It is rare when there is 'silence' at home. 'Enjoying' the moment... Looking forward to Sunday!!!... :)
