Thank god i caught this in time before it's left vacant for a year.
As i read back, i'm still surprised at the way i write my past posts. In the sense, if you ask me to choke up the same thing, i can't write the exact same words. Maybe cuz the emotions are different already.
Coming Feb is exactly 1 yr left-Vital Anniversary. Nothing much has changed. I try to be available when they ask for meals. But the times they have asked me out has been decreasing. I dun blame them. You can't hold on to something or someone that you don't see for that long.
I'm starting my 4th sem of school next week; and it has been a pleasure. Although its not easy but I've been trying and i'm glad i took this route. I kinda staked my whole life on this course so I basically dun have a choice but to succeed. Interest in the course helps. It makes everything ten times easier. Things come naturally and go naturally.
So what have I been up to these non-blogging days?
I've been teaching tuition to kids.. All these started off from the HOPE volunteer tuition from YEC. I tried teaching and helping Glize with Chinese, and it just snowballed from there. Not a bad thing; found out i could clique with small kids cuz i'm as childish. I can stoop down to their level and be firm at the same time. Its expanding. I'm accepting Pri school kids mainly. But speaking of which, I have Wei Yang as my first Sec 1 student. Well, he's a bit of a special case cuz he's from SPD. He has some physical disabilities and SPD is looking out for volunteers to help him. Since i'm in the tutor and volunteer line, thought i'd give it a try. Not bad, i'm still able to pass on knowledge, instead of destruction. hahahaha. sec 1 math; i wouldn't even dream of it.
Volunteering in SPD has widen my heart. It helps me understand their way of life and how they do things. They sometimes leave me in awe about certain things in life. While we are complaining about some trivial matters, there they are trying to learn to stand, talk, eat, sit and do the simplest things with the biggest effort. It knocks you out of the comfortable life and shouts right in your face HEY YOU! STOP THINKING YOU'RE THE UNLUCKIEST. GET ON YOUR BLOODY FEET AND DO SOMETHING ABT YOUR PROBLEMS! .. oh well. and then we learn that, there are people who seem weaker, but so much stronger than us. life's greatest challenges, and we wonder what they are.
actually its kinda crazy of me to try to pen down wad i've been doing for the past 8 months. thats impossible. cuz i can write essays just over one small incident, how the hell do I expect myself to cram 8 months into a blog post?
then i shall.... continue at a later date. =)
