Wednesday, November 16, 2005!
i ponder whether today had been spent meaningfully or not. one on hand, i visited charitable organisations, learning more about them and stuff. however, i felt as if i didnt gain alot of knowledge either. i am kinda still as confused as before.
but one thing is definitely felt: i am in awe that some people in the world are just so willing to give up so much of themselves just to aid others in need. they are willing to spend so much of their time on volunteering. especially the students, because as a student myself, i do understand the many time constraints that we face.
so being enthusiastic, beng ah n i signed up to be readers. haha. reading to K1 indian kids for SINDA. i'm really hoping that i will be able to give so much of myself to help others too. i really want to.
so beng ah and i joked about bringing loads of biscuits to the lil kid's house and stuffing them with biscuits everytime they learn a new word. then at the end of 6 mths, we weigh the child. HOHOHAHA.
nvm. cheap trill.
i realised that there are so many people out there in need. i've stayed in my cocoon of safety for too long, failing to realise the many things happening around me. i guess my parents had always protected my sisters and i from reality problems.
maybe the political attachments in coming monday would open my eyes even further to the problems that many singaporeans face. maybe these problems are faced by my parents too.
i am too fortunate.
and i yet i whine too much.
