life connections: our treasured bonds

being shepharded into a classroom that was gradually filling up with people, she quickly grabbed a seat at the back and sat down. as she waited for the others to settle down, she began observing the people around her. there's an ex-college mate, someone who looked distantly familiar, that gal with spiky hair and a graph-paper like shirt, and many other equally blur faces. and oh, there's the man she was speaking to at the previous open house she had attended. "so he is the manager...wow!" and the female lecturer who spoke in a very nice singsong manner, the angmoh lecturer with the sia lookalike top, and the one who appeared to be addressing the freshmen.

"hah. wonder how school life would be with these people..."

"welcome to the course of occupational therapy! as you can see, you guys are a huge cohort. the biggest we have had so far in fact! before we get start on anything else, i'll like to introduce you guys to a few of your seniors who will be showing a slideshow of what an occupational therapy student's life is like..."

the lights went off, and the room fell into dimness. picture after picture flashed on the screen, showing people in the library, class pictures, candid shots of their classmates etc.

"hmmm. this is actually beginning to look fun afterall..."

and so began her life in the next three years as an occupational therapy student. filled with fun, excitement, joy, stress and wonderful memories to come. her emotions captured in motion.
