• I've got permission from 2 primary schools to proceed with testing!

Mary's Mount Primary School - 45min drive (without getting lost >_<) Our Lady of Mt Carmel - 5min drive away!!! THANK GOD! (but this is a small primary school, so I'll probably get only about 30 participants - which is really good enough!). The principal's so nice too, and enthusiastic about my study (confirmed with me at least 3 times that she'll get a copy of the findings of my study)~ hee. made me abit stress in a good way... now I seem to be able to work with a purpose in mind. not that i didnt have any before, but that was just to aim for first class honours. NOW, there's an additional fire burning inside me, haha...i want to make some contribution to the research literature with regards to children's cognitive development! 我要做一个有用的人！ahaha~

• Outright approval from Ethics!
• Even though my supervisor is on maternity leave, she rocks still!! After I updated her on my progress in the pilot study...wah! her one comment is like revelation for me. well not exactly revelation, but still, put in quite alot of ideas in my head. Wondering how come I don't think like her, like why why why~ wooh~ so inspired! i want to read more! no doubt she'll be awesomer than awesome if she's in uni, but still..haha.....nevermind, i can be more independent. i am very independent anyway! =p
