went for the 1st session of occupational therapy with bry. today is just the inital assessment and to find out more details. the therapist spoke to me while bry played in a gym rm, he had fun and was amazed at the things there. we spoke about his behaviour at home, my concerns, feedbacks from school, behaviour at school etc. she then assessed bry writing skill, mayb a better word will be study skills, and commented he has good handwriting and able to concentrate on the given tasks.
i was surprised that he was able to draw lines using ruler (vertically but not horizonally) as i never ask him to do so at home and wasn't too sure if he does it in school. another surprising task was the use of scissors, i told the therapist the father refused to let him use scissors as bry may not follow instructions and may hurt himself. the therapist mentioned that drawing lines and use of scissors are essential skills for primary school and encourage me to let him practice at home.
i must state that i am not treating these sessions (have another one next monday) as quick fix to bry behaviour, nor am i using them as bashing sessions. the therapist did ask me some questions and i decided to be truthful regarding how the father (i always refer as the father to her) has different views with handling bry, even brought up the example about prof koh recommendation to sit bry on the chair instead of the hi-chair during meals and how the father response (summarised verison) was since dr feel bry is grown up then bry can go out and work. i think there is nothing to be ashamed of since i am not making things up but just being truthful.
homework of the week, she asked me to pick a problematic behaviour that i would like bry to change and she will help me. her initial diagnosis (do you call that or assessment) is that bry is not hyperactive or attention deficient, bry is relative bright and it is common for brighter child to suss (her words) out which individuals are push over (as in the case with his chinese teacher) or find loopholes to make use.
i am glad that bry is not hyperactive and hopefully with the help of these sessions and psycholoist, his behaviour will be better managed.
probably not a good place to mention but just briefly, had another arguement with the father over the kids's violent playing (re-enactment) of the cartoon characters. they were getting into an arguement and bry was getting upset and repeatedly told dom to stop talking. dom was saying anything to him but kept on his monologue, to the extend that bry was going to start crying. i had made my stand very clear regarding this issue, my decision was not for them to play/re-enact the cartoon characters and no more watching the show. i refused to step in to defuse the situation and carried on messaging my fren. the father exploded and kinda of trashed the kids' lego toys, shouting at them and me, saying how i am controling blab blab. i told him my decision regarding this issue and his reply was dom can watch but dun play with bry.
wat can i say. i have a bad temper but i will not harm kids especially i see something being a negative influence to them. his response was separate, separate and separate.

Mobile No. Changed?
this is really to let off steam.
tat Father got a new mobile abt 2-3wks back and since it is not an apple, i believed he had some difficulties to sync data to the new mobile.
so today, CNY eve, he finally took both mobiles out. obviously i have been curious abt the possible number change. come on, i dun need to contact him for MY emergencies but for KIDS. and should he just inform the schools abt the change in number but not me, it should say a lot abt this ?man?
kids got a little accident spilling the water and it was probably bry but he denied. tat Father decided to join in the "teaching" and started going on abt how bry should he continue will become a dishonest person etc. i got so fed up, and shouted at him to shut up. i was already unhappy over an issue with dom and now with bry. tat Father got angry and scolded me for being "not right in the head" cos he tot i was going blame it on dom (even though it was obvious who spilled the water).
anyway, i got angry and spoke loudly to dom to ask tat Father if there was any change to his mobile no. i missed called him and "behold" the old apple sounded. so i asked him. guess his reply. his reply was why i dun ask when he got the new mobile and ask now. WTF! i told him i was waiting for him to tell me, i need to know should i need to contact him regarding kids, i added that he wouldn't be informed should anything happened to me and the funeral home will not even call him. bit of history, he refused to answer any calls from my mobile. tat Father went on to tell me house line not changed, fibre optic has a number but not used, apple mobile not changed and i dun need to be concerned abt the new mobile. i told him he wan to use new mobile for his "extra activities" (whether he has someone, not my problem) is his business but i must know if he changed his mobile number. then he say he will be keeping apple as backup and will soon port the number to new mobile (i believed he changed telco when he signed for the fibre optic).
see what kind of person i have to put up with? doesn't lift a finger to help teach kids and still dared to comment that i multi-tasked mobile with kids, which i have stopped, but he is now surgically attached to his mobile. then again, it is ok for him but not anyone else.

Kang Gary!
My fave RM cast. these are some stuff i found on FB regarding Mr Random Capable! (cr: FB Kang Gary - 강 개리)
he stays true to his roots and self, despite of the success that he has achieved with music.
the fact that Leessang stayed with the same management company until now, and how both of them are willing to forego material comfort to be able to continue creating their own brand of music. you dun see that in many celebrities now.

so sweet..... someone commented that the girl (in question) was his first love, i only knew that he wrote the 3rd song due to the failed relationship, didn't know that he has written 4 songs to signify the relationship.

New World Korean Movie Feb 2013
bit late to talk about this but better late than never.
yes yes yes.... lee jung jae, my #1 fave korean actor, is going to be in another new movie! after the successful "the thieves", his new work "the new world" will be shown in korea in feb 2013.
lee jung jae is an excellent actor who portrays his character 101%. i have watched almost all his movies, from "an affair", "last present", "ilmare", "the housemaid", he is one man you can never get tired of. i must say this and i believe those who are familiar with his works (movies and dramas) will agree that he looks so good for a man who is 40. no matter which angle, beaten up or well dressed, running like mad or playing the piano, this man doesn't have a bad side. he just looks good!
another reason for me to be excited about this new movie is song ji hyo, our very own running man ace! she will be acting along side with lee jung jae! lee jung jae doesn't do much dramas, and his last few dramas were a flop (triple and air city). he is also currently filming another movie, about prince seyang, will be waiting for it too!
just a short description of the plot of "the new world".
A detective (Lee Jung-Jae) goes undercover to become the #3 highest ranked member of a crime gang. After the boss of the gang dies, the undercover detective suffers internal conflicts between the #2 highest ranked member of of the crime gang (Hwang Jung-Min), who believes in him, and a high-ranking officer from the police organization (Choi Min-Sik), who considers him as merely a pawn.
