Been feeling rather down recently. Even though I'm aware of it, I just keep thinking pessimistically. Most things are fine, I just keep being afraid that one day I'll lose the things I have, especially my family. I don't know why.

I feel like my parents have done so much for my siblings and I. When I was sick, they just spent the unreasonable amount of money to give me an injection and now when they know I'm not recovered yet, they offered again. And of course there are many other things they do that I take for granted. I shall not do that.

Now I'm not even sure if I'm recovered or not. Just 2 days ago, my stomach discomfort kind of reached its peak. Today, it felt like there's nothing going on. I really don't know. Shall wait and see and continue eating healthy in the meantime.

Saturday
Even though it was a Saturday, I didn't have tuition because I had school. Went to school to edit some Escapade video with Avelin and Zhao Yi. Learnt some new stuffs about editing and filming in the process. It felt quite nice having a room to ourselves and chatting and all that. All in all, it was quite fun.

Ms Gamar was also there, so we were sharing stories about weird and rude people. Quite funny. The staff gave us free lunch and dinner and they were nice to us. Ms Gamar also offered to send us to the station and send Avelin home.

Sunday
We were supposed to go filming at Serangoon Garden. We did went to Serangoon Garden, but it was raining, so we didn't film in the end. Just did a few interviews in some Taekwondoe place and planned some stuff. Quite concerned about our progress.

Monday
Had the whole WPD lesson in the Writers' Room. I missed this room :) Anyway, we did some need analysis on our stakeholders for the insurance website. We were laughing at things we were not suppose to laugh at, but it's funny. Created a persona and finalised our need. We seem to be progressing fine with this CA.

Had psychology after that. Learnt about person-centered therapy. This week we did actually learn about the therapy itself besides the theory. Basically, it works by being a non-judgemental and nice companion to the client. It's a very gentle way to counseling.

There's this part about empathy, in which we have to feel what the other person is feeling. Quite difficult. Had to identify someone's emotions and concerns based on very fact-based information. Also played this game where we had to identify emotions based on simple scenarios. All the chim emotions came out. Couldn't identify words like apprehensive, hysterical, and uplifted because they are just not normal vocabulary -.- The person letting my group guess was like "when the lift go up, what do you feel?" for uplifted.

Tuesday
Had Documentary Making instead of Writing for Interactive Media. It was a lot about analysing documentaries. Watched this film about a mentally retarded guy (Philly) and his family. It's touching how the family remain so united with this condition. Philly's parents seem to love him a lot and he loves them in return. Quite sad when he had to separate from them because he knew they were going to die of old age sooner or later.

Went to Holland Village for lunch with Mj, Cx, and Zi Wei. Ate some very milky pasta and Mj and Zi Wei got so amazed by some things sold in 7-eleven o.o

Headed home after that. Took a nap and then did some work for my website assignment. I'm so satisfied with my layout. It's the best I've done, I dare say, and I spent lots of effort. Now I'm mentally drained. Pardon if some parts of this post doesn't make sense because I can't think properly.
