Squarefish's 1st counseling retreat....

I'm back from my counseling retreat! It was supposed to be great. But then I got this stomach cramp and it made me abnormal. Sighs... When I called to tell my boy boy about it, turned out that he is having the same problem with me. Greatness. We both are sick, with the same symptoms. And we suspected food poisoning.

The blame? Must be the Singapore Chicken Rice we both ate on Thursday night. Or the pudding milk tea, but no way that the pudding milk tea is at fault.

We thought we would be fine the next day, but it turned out the otherwise. So I begged my boy to come all the way to Beringgis Beach Resort and bring us both to the doctor. Well, doctor said it's some infection and both of us have the same set of medicine. How cute. So we are leaning on each other now and taking turns to whine. Haha..

Overall, my group session with my group facilitator which is Professor Shuaib was great. I have gained new knowledge and skills from him. Well, I gotta admit though, I was a little disappointed and bored. I was expecting to see him conducting a real group counseling session and be a client in the group, but instead I had lecture and task to work on.

It was when he said he would use psychodrama in one of the session that makes me go excited. Then only I looked to the positive side, and appreciate his effort. In a nut shell, I am thankful and grateful to have him as my facilitator. And yes, I can say that this retreat has been a wonderful and fruitful.

Of course, my roomies and I had our girls pillow talking and pillow fighting. It was fun! The craziness... Oh, and there was this incident which I find it pretty dumb. We were supposed to have 2 UMS buses to fetch us back, but ended up only 1 came.

Reason? The another bus driver took the keys for a particular bus, but the bus was missing. Awesomeness. >.<

So everyone cramped up into 1 bus, and some followed those who drove there. As for me, Doreen, Andrew and Ling Chien, we followed Miss Patricia's car back to Kingfisher! (She is staying in Ujana.)

Enough of the talking, time for pictures! (Though if you wanna know more, you could ask me to show you my report that I need to do on this retreat. :p)

Before leaving...


Posing by the beach


Playing wolf catching the chicks, with mother hen protecting. Yes, bestie was the wolf. A very aggressive one.


They went swimming. Philips was showing off some moves I guess. Lol.


My group members.


And yes, we love acting cute. :p


The manicure I did when everyone went for their last session. Mine finished earlier as Prof. Shuaib had class that morning.


Roomies and me promoting our room.


And the pillow fight... Bestie got smashed by us two.


And the girl who is dreaming about her future with her prince charming...
