Dear me! I was in the spotlight or shall i say centre of attraction in today's communication & diversity lecture. Today was our last lecture and the last topic was about 'What is effective intercultural communication?' Just as well after so many weeks of sitting in front, me and my friends sat at the back since we were the last ones to enter the lecture hall. Half way through the lecture, the lecturer started popping up a question! Oh yeah, it was on the section of 'slang'
"Is there anyone here who comes from a different country?"
Without further ado, i raised my hand up! ..i cant just sit there and keep quiet! I looked left and right and i was the only one who raised my hand up..which means i am the only international student not only in the course but in this lecture for today. Gahhhh everyone was staring at me! Just mentioned that, i came from Malaysia and the lecturer asked if i am familiar with some given examples of slang on the slide..i was familiar with most of it..like
Awesome, gonna-be, gross, a nerd, a wanna-be, wicked, sick, cactus..
but never heard of chuck, fizzer, a hoon...LOL and of course i hardly or never used some of the slangs before i came to Aus.
Next after few minutes, she started asking me what is the culture difference between Aus and M'sia. My brain was blocked..couldnt think and asked me to think bout it and probably share later in the lecture...so some ideas started to flow in, i had my points, ready to share but sadly didnt get to share it...well i think in terms of culture, Aussie people are more open whereas we tend to be more conservative. I also realised, we tend to speak at a fast pace that its hard for the Aussies to catch what we are trying to say. Ohh another thing that i just realise.. dinner in aussie sometimes they call it 'tea'. OMG..when my friend first said..'i had pasta for tea'..hmmm i was thinking..tea as in 'coffee and cake...tea break...in the middle of the afternoon'??? Actually its dinner!!!! LOL ...
The lecturer also asked if we celebrated christmas..or any other similar special occasions with aus...i said yes we do celebrate christmas, church is a number 1 priority...and there would also be family and friends gathering..food. I also add in that malaysia is a multicultural country and that we had celebrations like Chinese New Year...ethnic group celebration...( Harvest festival )...wanted to say deepavali or hari raya...but i am affraid nobody would know and definitely alot to explain. Then my lecturer goes, what about Easter? I said easter is celebrated among christians but we dont have easter breaks! LOL!....Gahhhh i was blushing the entire time.
3 weeks in a row, my OT tutorial class has turn into a cooking session. Yesterday another group presented on how to make tiramisu!~..YUM! Started of with a quiz on Italian Food? Then it was fun time! The group has prepared most of the ingredients which consist of; freshly beaten cream, mixture of coffee and orange juice, biscuits, and cocoa powder. First break your biscuit into half..as long as it fits the bottom of the surface of the plastic cup that we used. Dip the biscuit into the mix coffee and orange juice...now here comes the skill. If you dip it too long, your biscuit will become soggy and mushy. So you need to get the right amount..you dont want your biscuit to be too hard or too soggy! After that, apply a layer of cream..and repeat the first step again till your cup is almost full. Lastly, sprinkle some cocoa powder and refrigerate for at least 30minutes. Wala enjoy ur tiramisu! It was really good..maybe a hint of rum/alcohol would be good :) .
Yesterday also during my understanding health lecture, we watched a short animated movie clip called 'Harvie Krumpet' produced by Australia and won the Golden Globe Awards in 2004. Its a very interesting, embedded with some deep meanings and of course hilarious! This short movie was kind of link to our topic of healthy ageing and social determinants of health context.

For today's OT prac, we visited a rehabilitation centre..in Geelong called the Mc Keller Community and Rehab centre..just bout 5-10 mins drive from Geelong city. Surprisingly the area looks huge, different sections of buildings..old and new. Could easily get lost, cause every section looks similar inside the building and its colour coded. So to identify where you want to go you just have to follow the colour..say blue for paliative care, green..another different section...orange...etc.. Ahh..lots of information pumped in today, there is so many sections in the building..besides paliative care there is impatient department, neurobehaviour department, gym...where physiotherapist work, there is hydrotherapy as well..i think its some sort of therapy that is dealing with movements as well..you will see 'mostly' oldies floating in the pool, in fact most of the patients are elderly people..and i can smell cholorine from far (can imagine how much chlorine is added into the pool water).
There were lots of lounges for the patients to socialise with other patients or relax rather than staying in the room the entire time. Oh and i also notice where ever you go in each section of the building, there will be a sink with few bottles of soaps and a sign telling you how to wash your hands properly. They sort of have this anti-bacteria liquid, where you just squeeze some on your palm and rub around your fingers..exactly like how you wash your hands. Hygiene is definitely a number 1 priority. There is an OT department as well, where patients undergo rehabilitation or they are being accessed say after an injury. we get to try all sorts of equipments,..wheelchair, clutches...etc. Even small gadgets that allows you to put on your shoes and many more.
We were passing by one section of the department, mostly rooms where patients are staying and i saw this old lady talking on the phone. Next minute she started yelling at everyone (us) ..
"Can you please be quiet!!!!!!!!"..HAHA. Our supervisor went to one corner and told us that, some patients who come here pretty often can get abit cranky and apparently that old lady is suffering from dementia as well.
Its quite a nice environment to work and there are other health care workers that OTs tend to work with like speech pathologist, physiotherapist, social workers, nurses, psychologist...so yeah wide range of people working in one department...surprisingly there is only one dietician and ..hm cant remember the other one..but imagine the amount of work load!
haha...alrites..off to cook dinner..laters...

Have you ever wonder why is it important to be able to interpret and understand your own feelings?? As a practicing clinician that is... well it also applies to everyone. You cant show your emotions when you are working or dealing with patients right? You have to put it aside and focus on your clients as well as being open minded. Maybe another reason is that we may come to understand ourselves more better if we understood how we feel? Hmmm am i making sense here? I m still having doubts myself.
This was what i learned during tutorials today from a group of students who did their presentation on decorating biscuits with facial expressions (eg: smileys) based on how you feel. Its not decorating for the sake of decorating but it also relates to the occupation (i.e the process of decorating it..how you do it..and are you able to do it)..ok to make it simple... first we have to use our dominant hand (right handed or left handed)...which for my case as a left handed, its easier to use the bread knife with my left hand to spread the icing on the biscuit...and slower plus takes more effort using the right hand. So imagine one day if your left or right hand is impaired..and you could only rely on one hand which is not ur dominant hand. It would be hard for yourself to be able to do what you normally could do, say even a simplest task like buttoning up your shirt? what about writting?
.........hahaha.......putting up too much OT stuff..............that is part of OT, understanding a person's impairment, what has been altered and find alternative ways to enable the person to do what he/she must do.
Anyways besides decorating biscuits...we learned 8 proper steps of how to wash your hands before handling the biscuits of course. It was good fun. Used lollies a.k.a candies to decorate the biscuits...spread a layer of icing before that.
Wasnt meant to be that way...
My newly decorated smiley face biscuit is partially ruined..because i have to put the whole bag of biscuits into my bag and ran under the freaking rain which got more worse. Well i was consider lucky because my friend offered me a ride home but she parked her car quite a distance away from the campus, so we ended up running under the pouring rain. She had a hood..and just as well i was wearing my wool coat which was hood-less............gahhh was soaking wet, my shoes, my socks, my jeans..my hair.................... crazy weather. so my biscuits which was perfectly decorated..is abit out of shape..as in the smiley happy face that i was trying to portray.
Ah..my age has become a hot topic among my friends. Everyone is starting to realise or found out that i am not 18 or 19.............. Muahahaha. "hey felicia! when is your bday? and you are turning?"(*drum roll* the truth is out)....uhhh...21 this year? WTH...(@*#&@^!^.. are you kidding me??????????? are you serious??????????? omg...i m so shock! I always thought you are 18!!!!! Hahahaha.......oh dear......i m so flattered that i dont look 20-ish..........LOL! Still i feel old........being the eldest among the group................sigh...........................Hmm.
P.S: To my dear friend Vengli remember to put a smile on your face and be happy ..as happy as this biscuit.
Takes time to get used to your surroundings and you need to open up and accept what is around you.

Yessss...finally weekend is here.
Had a great day yesterday. Went to Melbourne again for placement. Well not really placement tho..we went to visit an art gallery!~ The place is called 'The Cunningham Dax Collection' where they collect all sorts of drawings, paintings and craft work done by patients who suffered from mental illness. Looking at all the drawings, its hard to understand what the patient is actually thinking. You cannot make assumptions as well. Some of the drawings that i saw were beautiful sceneries...how would you associate that to a patient with mental illness?
Another painting that i saw was a lady who was hung (commited suicide) with a very weird mixture of colours at the background...we may think that its drawn by a lady but it was actually drawn by a man. Most of the colours used on the painting were black...red.....and more black.............which implies darkness and emptiness....some of them drew people with two types of faces, demons, dragons..other types of beast that can be quite disturbing when u look at it. Some of them wrote short descriptions on their drawings, stating their experience...and how they feel indirectly which is quite hard to understand.
There was one drawing done by a lady who had bipolar disorder ( a person who can go mania..as in very hyperactive..extreamly happy and the next minute very depressing )..she made a drawing using handprints..it looked like a rainbow made out of handprints...then the next drawing she did when she is really depressed..was just black paint...being painted over the entire paper...and she somewhat drew a banana...and called her art work 'the happy banana'. Some of the people who drew the paintings were inspired by famous artist like Vincent Van Gough and Edvard Munch who dreaw the famous painting called 'The scream'.Another lady she knitted a sweater over and over again..stating that it would make her feel protected. I think through art therapy, maybe patients who have mental illess is able to express how they feel and probably give some sense to their lives. Overall the visit was interesting.
After all that, we took the train back to Geelong. I went to Jessica (my coursemate) 's house. She has a very nice, cozy house..typical western house...carpeted...and i dont even have to take my shoes off?!! unlike at home..please take ur shoes off before u enter. LOL. The toilet and bathroom door has no locks as well! HAHA. So we got ready, and drove to the main campus.
Meet up with other coursemates, and exchange our pub crawl (hopping from one pub/club to anther) tickets. It was a mystery pub crawl..and you have no idea which pub u r goin to. After all that, 4 buses came.
All the students majority law and commerce...were already in their hyper mood. Gosh...i think 2008 is not a good year for me, a couple of bad incidence happened to me again yesterday. Before getting on the bus someone pushed a guy and the guy hit my back real hard and that was just the beginning. Next when i got on to the bus, as i was about to get into the sit next to the window and didnt bend down to a much lower level, the right side of my head hit the compartment of where u can adjust the air conditioner..and it was really hard with a loud thud. Damn...started seeing stars..and it was embarrasing. After that, when we got to the first pub, all the students were rushing to buy drinks since it was free..and there was a snooker table right next to the bar...this fella...started positioning himself..as in bending down and focusing to hit the ball. I was standing just next to him, i knew he was goin to hit me..but i cant even move not even a few inches away as there were people all over...and the next thing i knew......my back hurts again! Ahhh..so pissed...and the guy went..'omg i m so so sorry...i will buy u a drink'. Damn it. I almost tripped a few times as well. Sigh.
In one of the launge that we ended up, there was a famous geelong footy player having dinner. All the girls got so excited...even my coursemates and i was totally blur with the situation as i hav no idea with the footy games in Aus..and this tells me that i should have a fair bit of knowledge bout it. I was surprise that no one dares to come up to the famous player and ask for his autograph or something. HAHA..maybe they didnt want to disturb him having his dinner.
We ended up in a strip club at the 5th stop..........Oh my........seriously what an experience..best experience for the boys for sure. At the 6th stop..me and my coursemates were starting to get bored...and because we hardly know anyone so the night doesnt seemed to be happening at all. SO we decided to walk to McDonalds and have our late supper. Next we went back to where the last stop is. I think the last stop was by far the best, because of the good RnB music and its more like a club. Had lots of fun with my coursemates...and i would say i am not a clubbing person nor and alcoholic. HAHA....i only have two drinks and my skin started having red patches around the thigh area, backside...and arms. Hot and itchy patches..when u scratch it its really painfull. Happens to me when i drank bailey's last year. Ahh...seriously cant drink anymore...its a torture and the patches will only go within 1 or 2 weeks!!!!! Plus the high heels was a torture as well.
Alrites..thats it for now..

Deprived of sleep......
I am going to transform myself into a zoombie soon....its 6.20am and i m still wide awake since last night??!!!
Finally done with my depressing essay, i finished it on time..but constructing the reference list and tracking back the information you have found took ages..plus with my 4 year old ,2nd hand laptop..u can imagine how fast and efficient it is working. I m getting all sorts of depressive illness now...bipolar,mania,hypomania, dysthmic, cyclothymic...u name it...except for postnatal and antenatal depression, excuse me..i m not pregnant. Anyways, i m just exaggerating...
This essay really ripped my head off ...burn my brain cells...when you have to search for specific statistics from the Australian Bureau of statistics and other government websites and u get so pissed when u cant find what you are looking for...and you have to download pdf files all the time...scroll down few hundred of pages ended up getting small tiny bit of info, analysing tables numbers, percentage that doesnt make sense...strainned my eyes and the dark circles is really obvious now....my neck and shoulders hurts.....i think my muscles is stiff.....ahhh again i am exaggerating..but this is for real.
I have to get ready in an hour time, my printer ran out of ink and its telling me to go to uni earlier to print the assignment out. I think i better not sleep..or else by the time i wake up...i would probably get a heart attacked...knowing how late the time is!!
Oh Lord, please let me the strength to go through monday smoothly....and i hope no dogs again this time cuz the doggy chase incident happened last monday. Hmmm...Can u sleep with your eyes open in lectures? I might try that today.
Whats next: Presentation...............oh dear ...oh dear...

How bad could a person's day become besides rushing to complete an assignment?? Once again bad bad bad bad bad bad AURA floating in the air surrounding me!! Finally i m relief that i had finished one of my major assignment for my Foundation of OT unit....after struggling with it for the pass few days.
On monday, after a long and tiring day from Uni..i decided to go to Coles and buy some food for the next few days. As i was walking back home, few metres away from the traffic light nearby my home, i saw a dog jumping on a lady...i was thinking.."ohh..maybe thats her pet"...when i look again, i notice that the dog is not chained and the lady was yelling. Immedietly my 6 sense tells me that its....DANGER......FELICIA YOU ARE IN A DANGER ZONE!!!! At the same time, there was a police car at the traffic light...ok let me draw you the situation:
Anyways, i was thinking to throw the bread that i bought from Coles towards the dog..but when the dog saw me...i got so scared and started running across the road. It was barking out loud and all i had in mind was...pleeeeeeeeeeease dont bite me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! H E L P! Somebody! Once again LUCKILY there was no car coming or else, i would probably be in ICU by now. There were cars coming from the opposite direction and i think that is what makes the dog retrieved back. I was frightened..i saw a lady coming out from a house and i told her there was a dog running around the housing area. She said "Its mine"!!! WTF**@&#^!@^@
Ahhh.....for goodness sake.....why dont you go and chase your cute doggy back! I quickly went off before anything bad happens. The police car stopped right infront of the lady's house. So i m guessing she must have called the police or the police was there on the right time!
What a day.....my 4th bad experience.....!
My dad told me that they sell a special kind of device that has no sound or anything. All it does is release some kind of energy wave that the dog is affraid off!! Sooo gonna get it and including a pepper spray!!!!
I bought 2 packs = 4 Nestle Classic Noir (a chocolate dessert) for $1.99 from Coles. I have eaten one which means i have 3 left. Few minutes ago, i went to put my left overs back into the fridge.
