my residents are really CUTE!!!

me: do you want to eat sweet?
resident: i want!! (and kept nodding his head)

** so i pass the sweet to him.. **

resident: shh.. don't tell jie jie (pointing to my colleague who came in with him) you give me sweet. it's our secret. shh..

muahahahaha!! they are seriously damn cute right!! oh man. they even know how to sort of "bribe" you in doing things for them, some even know how to bully people, etc.

oh ya... i realized that somehow unknowing-ly you will end up acting and behaving like them once you spend all your time with them. i received A LOT of comments saying that i should move in with them soon... i am behaving more and more like them.. are you okay? i should start arranging for my appointment at IMH.. etc

But sometimes in order to communicate with them.. you really need to go down to their level to communicate with them; only then are you able to click with them, able to get some response from them. it's true. if you come and act al mighty in front of them they will be thinking "who is this freak standing in front of me? what is she trying to do?" if you manage to go into the same channel with them.. at least you can get some responses from them... even those that don't talk at all at least when they get use to you and see you more often, they will smile to you.. really...

the most satisfying moment is.. when you manage to get a non responsive resident to smile at you when he/ she sees you coming.. that is the time when you know that they are starting to recognise you.. acknowledging your presence and the satisfaction you get is PRICELESS.. really..

you will never know that all this little things that you do to them.. (walking over to shake their hand, smile at them.. acknowledge them...) actually meant a lot to them.
