Abby absolutely loves the baby room in this shopping centre. It's lovely. Glad to see more shopping centres becoming baby and nursing friendly. We're supposed to go to the Parents' room, but ended up in the nursing room instead. Well, it's cool.
Had dinner at Kampong Days (#03-02) directly opposite the HUGE Kiddy Palace. Ordered Ah Gong's curry chicken, braised beancurd, ah mah ah kong soup and mee goreng. Fabulouso! :D Ended with mango with beancurd. That was odd. Brainfreeze nonetheless.
Kinda finished my CEM101 public awareness campaign. Have to design posters. But looking at the scale of what I've proposed, I'm not sure if the posters will be of any use at all. I'm not really sure what the tutors are looking for, but will just design anyway. :)
Now CAE104 - Perspectives in Literature. Will be doing Wordsworth resolution and independence about how Nature is a moral guide and instructor. CAE203 - Intro to Children's Literature. Have to do a presentation on Wed and a paper. Haven't exactly decided what I'll do. Maybe Harry Potter. Maybe Charlotte's Web. See which one I've more to say. :P And after this it's quizzes and exams! Then it's the hols!! I can spend time with abby liao! :D
Oh. Ben received a notice from some1 quite high above him at work for an appointment today. He's a casual, so it's not a permanent job till they secure him with a contract or something. So he was quite worried that he'd be asked to go. In the end, he's been asked to take on a big project and it seems that one other person was 'competing' with his boss over him! :D Someone with his passion and experience, "GRAB!" Heh. I did. :D
He also shared something with me today - the emotional age. Sometimes we feel like telling people to GROW UP. But what exactly does growing up mean? Why would someone tell another person to grow up? It's actually gotta do with the person's emotional age. Chronologically, a person may be 21years old. But emotionally, perhaps due to abuse, trauma or simply an unhealthy environment, emotional growth is stunted and the person may be at an age younger than the chronological age. So for that 21 year old person, he or she may have suffered a real emotional blow at a much younger age and may be 'stuck' there. Unless someone nurturing is able to come alongside with this person and scaffold the growth, the person can be stuck at that age for a long time. Sometimes the behaviour displayed can be typical of a 9 (or 12, or 14, or 19, or whatever) year old, yet the person is way much older (say 21, 25, 30 etc). That's when help is needed to assist the person to mature. :) Provided the person recognises the need. If not, nvm. :) We are all different shapes and sizes, and will just be a blessing to one another in whatever way we can. :)
