On the first day of practical...

My first day of industrial training. Forced myself to get up at 6am, and drove out from the house at 6.45am. On the way there, I felt that I have taken the wrong road, thus I checked using the GPS. Thank God for GPS. If not, I will be ended up don't know where.

Reached Hospital Kajang on time. But when I checked in, there was no one there. So I waited. While I wait, I read the book which Andrew found in the library and photocopied for me. After half an hour, the person who is in charge of guiding me today came. Anyway I have known earlier that my field supervisor is on leave today.

This person is a UKM student who have finished his internship there. But he extend his practice due to his thesis. He is doing a thesis on suicidal.

I had orientation, where I was brought to meet all the staffs in the psychiatry unit. They all seemed friendly and welcomed me. And since my supervisor wasn't there, so basically there was nothing I could do. Thus, I spent the whole day reading counseling materials and some profiles of existing cases. Zzz....

Thank God the ward referred a case before the day ended. I got the opportunity to observe how counseling is done in hospital setting. This is an entirely new thing to me, and I have observed things that I didn't learned back in uni. So it's all good overall.

Now, the crazy part. It took me 3 hours 30 minutes to get home. And the most crazy part is, I spent 1 hour moving a distance of only 5km. Wahh... Faint. Thank God for Willie, he has been accompanying me through smses all the time while I was stuck in the jam. There are 12 weeks more of this craziness. I think I'm going crazy.

This is KL for you. So many cars, so many people... Traffic jams are everywhere and super madness. I love KK more. At least the jam there is nothing compare to here.

Maybe I will go see Willie on my way home tomorrow, since leaving my practical setting on time at 5pm also take me so long to reach home. Another long day tomorrow! I guess I better hit the pillow now. Night people!

P.S.: Do pray for me ya? Need God's grace, wisdom and strength a lot lot...
