and its like daily, we're on a sugar high (:
Went to SP for enrolment today, was kinda awe-ed.
Just poof-ed back. So many clubs, how to know which to join. like ACK!
but I think I'd wanna attend the student union club camp.
still the timing's kinda wrong. have lessons on tues, and the camp falls from mon-wed
BAD ):
Anyway, I got my lappie. YAY ;DDD
haha and the freshman orientation tee, is kinda prettaye ;DDD
heh! then headed to Singapore's Christian Home for the Aged with the kids and the other tutors & helpers & boss! It was really sad to see the old folks, limited or rather confined to their beds, their so called, own cubicle, and theres not much to roam about with, no tv clearly visible.
There're elderly whose faces brightened up and they smiled like nobody's business when we sung, performed and spoke to them.
& There was this old lady, Aunt Elsie, who really touched me.
She couldn't see, her hearing wasn't good. Yet her passion for God was really there.
She sung hymns which I don't know of but still, I could feel her love for God.
If someone, without sight, who can't hear well, could trust God with all her heart, soul, and spirit, why can't I? It just hit me really hard.
Then a student's reflection, that underneath everything no matter how harsh or withdrawn they may be, there's a part of them yearning for love. Indeed every single one of us human being's like that, perhaps thats a good explanation when the kids behave like that or friends or other strangers or loved ones, when they get irritating, or make you angry, perhaps they just want your attention. A lil' I care for you. a lil' I'm here for you would go a mile.
& its really an eye-opener, going to the old folks home with kids, seriously, previously when going with classmates, it'd be, difference between enthu and unenthu people, people who do it just for the sake of doing it, not out of pure compassion, out of love, out of care and concern.
Well the kids really made me proud of them, they'd do stuff they don't normally do. Dance with zest, when this kind of thing would make them embarassed usually, or sing lustily, despite the fact some think they can't sing, despite the fact some zhao sia, they still sang. those who were rough and clumsy people, making an effort to fold hearts, putting their heart and soul into writing their comments, its really great to see them going all out. I realised giving isn't just giving within your means as often stated, but giving more than you can.
MAC-RITCHIE jungle walk tomorrow! I'm off heh! TOODLES (:
& the lil actions speak more than words itself.
