Got v. positive feedback for my placement case analysis report! Good chance of seeing a good grade for my field placement. Emailed my FT and sup to share with them. I couldn't contain my joy.

Anyway, I realised I can't stand people who talk nonsense. Not in the sense of being lame. But I have low tolerance who try to talk about academic stuff but somehow always seem to miss the point and end up sounding like fluff. Oh well, but we all start somewhere. And ya, it's not like I know everything. But I think, if we want people to recognise social work as a profession, we gotta be more exacting in what we say or do. It's something I feel strongly about. I don't think we should just have a good heart. It's equally important to have a thinking mind. Anyhow, I'm really thankful to have met some others who share the same passion as I do and with whom I can discuss and just reflect on issues.

I guess Society for Social Work Students came off to a good start - got certain lecturers commending us on our effort and proactiveness. I want to be a better communicator! How huh. Let's see where this goes.

Attended a dialogue session with some community leaders just now - Dr Maliki, Mr Teo Ser Luck and Dr Vasoo.. There was much debate about how Singaporeans are not stepping out to be more proactive in solving community problems. It's a great pity we didn't have more time to focus on issues around how the government is/is not supporting THE COMMUNITY WORKER.

It's late.. gotta be doing my transcribing and coding.
