Special and fascinating

All dietetics third year students paid a visit to the Pusat Pemulihan Dalam Komuniti last Monday. A visit allocated in our timetable. Since we learnt a topic on Nutritional Intervention for Children with Special Health Needs, we were supposed to go and pick a child at the PDK as our subject. Assessments were done based on anthropometry, clinical, demography, development and feeding skills, behaviour related to feeding and so on. 

My group chose a Down Syndrome girl. She is just lovely. It's interesting to just observe and get to know more about her. Everything about her fascinates me. 

Yes, it's one of our many assignments. It was fun playing around with the kids though. They were so energetic that they left me feeling exhausted at the end of our visit. Lol.

The front gate.

The child that we chose, Nur Dzafirah bt. Ahmad.

Look at her hand on my shoulder! So lovely.

Loves it when her picture is being taken.

Loves taking picture of others too. She knows where to press!

Getting excited.

She loves expanding her arms to hug us :D

She is able to self-feed pretty well. And she loves to keep her things tidy. 

One of the characteristics of Down Syndrome. There is a large gap between the second toe and the large toe.

Other children at the center; the one on the right experiences growth retardation with mild autism i guess and hyperactive. He is actually 16 already. The one on the left has tendency to be violent. He hit, smack, kick you HARD when you're not looking. That is why he is constantly being guarded and put behind the wooden thing in the picture.

This kid is hyperactive and mild autism. So cute and handsome but likes to throw tantrums. I got hit for no reason -.-

A cerebral palsy child. Pity :(

Last Saturday, i went to Big Bad Wolf book fair for the second time. This time with bf and his siblings. Still, i couldn't get the books i wanted. Grrr. Geram. Everyone is saying i bought enough to last them for more than a year already. But..:(

That Men's Health is not mine.

Also, last weekend, cousie brought home two Golden Retriever puppies. Ahhh so cute~ One named Happy and another named Healthy. I played with them, fed them, bathed and dried them. Hope grandma will allow us to at least keep one.

Lovely~

Bought dental sticks for them too! :D

Sleeping like a boss!

Mum loves them too. Well, she loves Happy more cause she said Healthy is so naughty and always bullies Happy.

Prosperity is so small now! I still remember how it used to be. BIGGGG. See now, bf had to add on another cheese burger. Miss Tai Lei Loi Kei's pork chop polo bun. Lol, don't know if i spelt the name correctly or not.
