The begining..

Mid-way eval was conducted on thursday, I remembered getting quite anxious and not being able to stand or sit while Hua Beng was with Dot. Some of the things that I foresee that Hua Beng would do, i.e., patient-napping, questioning your plan, ... didn't happen. Hmm..

Rather, he was rather focused, bent on doing one thing, which was to enhance my learning, he offered some suggestions to see if patient's performance in activity would improve under his recommendtion. Though at that moment, I didn't think it made a difference, I understood his logic/rationale on doing it later on. And hua Beng, being Hua Beng, would ask for immediate feedback, like, "How? Any better?". Hehe.. I don't really see, so I just kept quiet and pretend to be concentrating really hard on loooking at my patient.

Anyway, my clinical experience has been further enhanced by yet another nurturing mentor. The conclusion being, I need my theory, substance behind my treatment. If not, my treatment sessions would just another session of diversional therapy for my patients. Yeppy, yep.. I need to work on it yar.. Hua Beng also reinforced that my sup I was right in identifying that she's a great sup. She's known to be a meticulous clinical educator.

Eval ended with lotsa constructive feedback that I could work on and also a CE eval full of mainly 3s and some 4s. Don't really think it's good, oh well, like sup said, if she doesn't want me to leave thinking I'm good that there isn't much to worked on already. According to her, students usually have greater improvement towards final eval. Justified !

After eval, = ) came to pick me up after seeing that it started to drizzle. Upon reaching home downstairs, he said something was wrong with the tyres. He asked me to stay in the car and walked to the back to check things out. I stayed in the car lor, for a while. hehe.. I didn't see why I had to be in the car when the tyres was wrong & thinking that maybe I can help. I walked to the back saw him taking out a bouquet of sunflowers from the boot !! I was :-o , speechless. It was already comforting to see = ) after a nerve-wrecking eval day, I had a bouquet of sunflowers to add to the joy ! This is the begining...
