Moody baking

Last friday was my last day on placement (this year). I "should" be relieved or even happy but NO.. i'm not! Can you believe that some part of me actually crave that hectic lifestyle in the hospital? Mr Ar has been commenting that I'm looking quite stressed and moody this weekend (NOT PMS) and I realised it's because...... I WILL NOT BE SEEING ANY CLIENTS TILL NEXT YEAR!

Well, not exactly right, often, my participants often requires counselling. It's different however when you do work with clients for a period of time.

Anyway, something to relieve my anxiety for not seeing clients..

Piglet mooncakes- Mum sent this to me. A friend made this and gave it to her. My family said since I can't be there to celebrate it with them, they decided to take a picture of these CUTE mooncakes (with lotus filling in them) for me to drool on.

Seeing the picture makes me feel better... ahhh...
