weeelll, i know i sorta promised a daily account of things but i haven't been able to find the free time unfortunately.... So sad so sad.... But ive gotta say that apart from the last 8 days, it has been absolute fun! I mean I joined this program called Mentoring Malaysia and wow! was i amazed!! i mean, its funny to think that psychology students are so excited about virtually anything.... ( a mere trip to Rimba Ilmu aka the Jungle of Knowledge was a blast! and well, being a person who is all for the positive youth development! god i will remember this phrase till my very end thankz to ARCCADE which by the way stands for Asian Research Center for Child and Adolescent Development) Though I felt a little sad that I had genuinely sacrificed my holidays (we were required to come in practically everyday to college for some reason or the other, trainig, briefings, etc etc...) but man, I could never have chosen a more productive way of spending my break! being a mentor has definitely changed my perspective and this experience has been a ground breaking one in my life!!! Many people misconstrue the field of psychology as being able to comprehend practically everything and most people turn a bling eye to the very fact that psychologists or psychology students are human beings juz like every other individual. We're not perfect and neither are we the poster children of angelicism. But well, i have to say that this has been a one in a lifetime chance and I truly owe my inspirations to people like Dr. Brendan (who is almost ALWAYZ POSITITVE, really, you can tell him anything and he'll show you the silver lining! quite frustrating at times to see someone so cheery! hehehe!) then there's Patricia (she's a ball of fun though she's not even close to a ball! but well, Pat juz has this way of making everything feel great!) Jaime is the quiet one (really, she is so docile that you can never imagine her mad in a million gazillion years!) Usha is another fun person though she is also a little quiet ( and they say I sound like her, sheesh, i sound like a wacko next to this completely calm and rational person! hehe) Jasmine is a ton of fun! The larger than life person who juz exudes vibrance as she lights up even the largest space with her spirit of fun (though she does seem to be perplexed with BM, yeah she's from UK so she's not well versed in Bahasa) then we have Eric. Eric looks a little serious but don't let the serious glasses fool you! He's as quirky and filled with a sense of humor that matches anyone elses. (GO ERIC! hehehe) then there's Daniel. Daniel is perhaps the most quiet and docile human being I have EVER MET!!! i mean really! he's soft spoken and always wears a smile! Honestly, I wonder where he has the energy to stay so calm and sane everyday!!! ( imagine his dedication, he travels 4 hours to and fro to work... he must REALLY love kids!!) and thats all of em at ARRCADE! but i must say that apart from working for remarkable souls I had the pleasure of working WITH wonderful peers. Kaleena is a sweet and warm friend, thats glowing with spirit and cheeriness. Grace is just as sweet as Kaleena and Grace has a sense of warmth that fills the team with so much security (she interns at ARRCADE so she's like OUR big sister! hehehe) and she LOVES purple! Janice is a quiet little person but you can totally rely on her to help! Mrema is fun and always ready with in put and help! then there's Samenti our team coordinator. Samenti is fun and always filled with positivity and she's super cool! and then there's me!! I'm not about to describe myself but for those who know me... hehehe... you know me! well, im signing off now! A fun and totally wonderful day!!!
