hahaa i quite enjoyed the extended time with Lynn and Samuel today =) had training at HPB in the morning, and saw them (and jiadai), then went off with them and had lunch, after which Samuel suggested that we go to Lynn's new home (in Punggol! unrenovated! hahaha) and after that to his new home, and ta-da, off we go for our own self-declared learning journey.
so it was a whole afternoon talking about interior design (possible design of Lynn's new house), and the very clever design of Samuel's house. haha. really very nice!
had the chance to just discuss about future counselling options with them as well, and told them about my decision to leave. discussed about ADD as well. hahaha. pretty refreshing i guess, since i'm talking to people who understand the situation, and know about how the counselling sector is, and know the difference between the 'standard' of school counselling and the external social service sector. school counselling is really very narrowed. and there're a lot of chapalangs. haha.
talked about backpacking too. haha. samuel and his wife previously spent 6 months just backpacking around Australia. hahaa. i guess backpacking for an extended period of time is something which I'd like to try as well. hahaa.
