Wow, almost half a year now. Cant believe I have been slacking off for that long already. Suddenly, I feel like writing again.

Got bronchitis, took a day off at home. It was nice to stay home and rest completely once in a while. I tried to sleep a bit more in the afternoon but wasnt successful. However, I rested in bed for almost the whole day. I caught up with some TV drama, some emails and facebook.

The trip to Japan and Hong Kong was a blast. Even though during that time there was some unhappiness. But thinking back now, we did have a lot of fun. I love Japan, it was a country of amusement. Food, technology, and culture are awesome! Shopping was not bad, though the things were quite expensive. But I truly love the food culture there. I think I can live there for a long time and wont get sick of the variety of food that they have. Hong Kong was a lot of fun too. Too bad the time there was too short: 5 days is totally not enough to explore and experience HK! Went to the Element Mall, and the sort of new IFC mall. Had tea at my long missed Spaghetti house, yum yum!! Too bad that we only had buffet once, it was soooooo delicious!! For me, it's all about the food!! Food is the only thing that I wont think twice when I spend my money!!


I guess the trip was a bit too "exciting" and it probably became exhausting. I got sick after I came back. My cold turned into bronchitis. For music therpists, it's truly hard to carry on a session with bronchitis, and I am quite skeptical about the antibiotics. I dont know, my gut feeling just tells me that they are not very good. Hmmm....so, I am trying to see if the bronchitis will heal itself.......

That's pretty much about it! Will write more later!!

 

Just checked with the accountant in regards of the raise. Well, despite of what the owner has promised, the accountant told me that it's not gonna happen, at least not yet. It seems like I have pissed the owner off by being too initiative. Well, I really dont think I did anything wrong in this case. She is the one that promised the raise once she received the wage schedule, and now that she has the wage schedule, she is still not trying to implement that, how awful! I mean, I am not pushing her for a raise, I posed the question, and hey, just let me know yes or no. Not telling yes and then ask me to wait forever!! I am quite disappointed with her, I thought I work very hard for her and her facility, and I really cant believe at the end of the day, she handled this so unprofessionally in front of the other co-workers. Honestly, I could care less what other people think, but I hate to be framed like that.

As much as I am disappointed with the owner, on the other hand, I really enjoy working there. The residents and staffs are great. Even though once in a while, there will be people saying ignorance words to me such as "Concert time", "I dont know you have to do documentation for music?" Music, hello, this is not only music, but music therapy, why cant you get it through your head? The funny thing is, the guy that said this to me is actually a foot nurse (or he called himself foot doctor) that clips toenails for the residents. Anyway, I was really touched today when a care aide told me that music therapy is the best out of so many programs in the unit. Thank you so much, it really means a lot to me!!

Long weekend!! Yoohoo!!!
