lucki fer the fact dat i alwiz watch tv - hk police dramas - dat i noe how to phrase in chinese when translating to the mother at imh....(fyi, imh = institute of mental health, aka woodbridge hospital...) the scene was typical dat of how the police interrogates the criminal....wif my prog head as the "police" role....n a male nurse by the side....(the nurses there r all males...i guess dey haf to put dem there....) n thanks to the fact dat i'm a chinese n can speak chinese at dat....dat i got the chance to go wif my prog head todae....feel so priviledged....it's realli a once-in-a-lifetime experience....not ani visitor can get to enter the remand wards....n i did!
it isnt my ferst time at imh....my second actualli.....the ferst time was when i was there fer a visit fer abnormal psych module....the feeling is different....last time when i was there, i was a little wary of the surrounding pple....all arnd was very peaceful n calm n quiet...serene....heh....todae when i was there, it was quite crowded...i dunno y....mabbe more n more pple r getting medication frm there...cos the pharmacy or sth has a long queue....n there was a seminar on....n a group of sch students there fer visit....hmmm.....todae i was there light-hearted....tho i noe tis case is rather depressing plus one of our students just got admitted there....wanted to visit him man...but cant go in i was told....i felt okie lar...not too scared la....there wasnt ani receptionist area....so din noe where to enquire....had to ask the staff walking past...luckily we got the rite person....(n not the patients...haa....) aniwae, the remand ward was sooooooo far awae....at the end of the whole hospital....n now i suddenly rem during my visit they did mention dat.....hmm....we walked rite till the end untill both of us kept seeing the sign dat saes onli "mortuary"...next sign..."mortuary"....n the next..."mortuary"......so i guess we were in the wrong direction...haa...n we realli did walked past the mortuary....brr.....
finally when we reached the remand wards....it was all fenced up n locked up with grills....i was feeling all comfortable even when we met him....shook hands lightly....like a touch....we started the interview earlier without waiting fer the mum...the interview was conducted by my prog head n all i did was sit there beside him....he realli is a very intelligent 20-yr-old considering he onli had pri sch background....he reads up alot alot.....he likes physics, chemistry n wants to go into psych....he noes electrical stuff, some stuff bout all the disorders, how to make gun, the laws n legislations (which chapter which statement), all the court hearings procedures, etc etc....amazing!! when we were ferst there he kept interrupting betw the qns....n when my prog head said we'll take turns to tok....he said "dun use the autism wae leh..." so smart!! he noes!! we usu state rules n tell how to take turns to students....his background is very complicated....been in jail n in n out of imh....he ran awae frm hospitals a few times...by injuring others.....poking pple's eyes with pencil/pen...when he said dat i was tinking..."raj, u better hold on tight to ur pen!!" haa....occasionally he asked to go toilet out of the blue....hands were trembling awae...cos of all his medication i guess....when it comes to the part on sex...cos he roams arnd in geylang.....ferst on y he tried to drug himself....he said "i shall not tok about it cos she is here" pointing to me....he even apologised....i din find it too disturbing untill he said one of his fears is dat he mite molest gers if he comes to our centre n he kept staring at me fer a good 5 sec....untill my prog head redirected him by tapping his pen quite loudly on the table n said "look at me when i tok to u!!" in an angry tone....poof...felt so protected...haa...so man! tried so hard to keep a straight face thruout....but cld feel my face turned a lil hot....den he said "r u angry? sorrie ar...."to me...
hmm...dunno wad will be the outcome of his hearing tmr....he has even decided wad to sae in court...how he's gonna twist it arnd n plead not guilty of theft....he indicated dat he wans to come to our centre provided it's not a stay in...he wans freedom....to roam outside....dat was y he ran awae....kept asking us to plead with his IO (investigation officer, i presume)....asked my prog head to bail him out....asked his mum to bail him out....but the mum dun dare....cos he will run awae again....he even noes how much to pay lo....pengz....
my prog head wans to help him....but i guess now we do not haf the manpower n capabilities to help him yet....shall see wad's the outcome tmr....so scared he snatch my namecard awae frm the mum when i gave the mum....haa....bet u he'll rem our names if we meet him on the streets....he could rem all the dates he was admitted n which dae it was even....*chills* wad was more amazing is dat whenever a qn is asked, he doesnt realli nid to tink before responding....if it were me, i wld be humming n hawing......so all i did was translated fer the mum n my colleague....tho dey din tok much....the mum kept repeating her worry of wad will the outcome be tmr....haiz....the guy does noe he worries her...at the very least he does not hurt his mum....
haiz....apart frm all the disorders he has been diagnosed wif, it could also be due to some environmental factors dat he's turned out lidat....he has an abusive father....the education system here restricts his freedom....realli kept me in deep thots all the wae on my ride frm hougang to woodlands....
realised my prog head can b quite sweet n manly....haa....gentlemanly n has a mind of his own....he called imh to ask if the staff will be arnd during the interview n dey luffed at him tinking dat he's scared....but no...cos he said he has a lady teacher wif him (which is me....heh)...opened doors fer me every time since all the course's daes....but sometimes i still tink he's kinda bias towards the other colleagues....well....he asked if i felt scared....yesh....at some point in time....heh....of cos....
n oh no...my boss suddenly checked wif me todae n realised i wasnt gg to the nie course....gosh...does dat mean there goes my pay rise??? *sobz* shall not pin hopes liao.....bet he fergotten or din catch it when my prog head told him....oh well....*sobz*
so darn tired....got squeaky eyes liao.....
