After a week or so of sleeping for 3-5 hours consecutively, my body could not keep up with the rate of work anymore.. this morning i woke up feeling nauseous.. this evening, the nausea came back and followed me through from clementi to toa payoh. i was supposed to have tuition tonight, but at the rate i was going, i figured it'll be safer to head home instead.
hehe:) finally, a night of rest:) ironically, the only night that i'm home before 10pm, my whole family's out on a wedding dinner. haha.
have been carrying out recordings and testings these few days for irp:) it's actually quite fun collecting the data.. hahaa. Really thank God for Dr Tan (remind me to comment on certain things later) and her lab. She's got a cool lab! with sofas and soft toys (not that i'm particularly a fan of soft toys.. but having soft toys in school really help to calm people's nerves.. especially before an experiment). haha. and she's got a wonderful corner in her room that is so quiet when you close the door. brilliant for recording people speaking!:)
there was this time during testing that a little boy and his grandmother were directed to the infant lab by an undergraduate(till now i still wonder why). the boy's grandfather is a professor and he was being interviewed for some stuff.. so they asked if they could sit at the sofa. i had the opportunity to interact with this 29 months old little boy who sang a korean song and danced for me. hahaha. i think i could see a bit of why people love infants :)
and since the boy falls in the age range that Dr Tan is looking for, i took the liberty to pass the small piece of paper about the research to the grandmother. lalala.
recently i was thinking about how social hierarchy causes a boundary to be put up between people. perhaps it's just me.. but i always have the feeling that there should be a distance kept between the lecturer and me.. and this of course includes Dr Tan.. and even the way of addressing her puts her at a level different from me - which is true in a way because of the fact that she's my supervisor and i'm not.. haha. but the thing is, it causes me to wonder if i can add her on facebook (perhaps in the future?:S) and of course, the conversation topics. like sometimes i feel like asking how her day has been and all...but i'm scared that it'll be too informal. lol. it's the title! and the setting! lol :) she reminds me of.. marlene lee. Dr Marlene Lee (who taught me abnormal psy) was really nice too. and ziwei. hahaa. 'cos ziwei is so childlike (not childish), yet so knowledgeable and wide in her field of knowledge:) but all in all, thank God for her.
don't mind me. i think about silly things :)
ohoh. Dr Tang mentioned that there might be a module called psychology in gender in the following sem. sounds good!:D haha. i just realised that my area of interest is quite strange.. gender, linguistics and developmental disorders. as strange as how my two favourite subjects were literature and biology. lol.
