Flag Day

Flag today was quite enriching, especially the fact that I got to witness a few incidents that really touched my heart.

I remember vividly having to stand near the bus stop with so many people buzzing past me, and little hope in mind for a generous donations but up came a wheelchair bound uncle who screamed at his maid, signalled to her to stop pushing his wheelchair (the maid was trying to avoid us) and took out $2 and got the maid to donate it to us. Same went for this elderly wheelchair bound lady.

But the most touching incident I encountered was this dirty rag and bone lady who was collecting cans in the bins. I approached her nonetheless without realising that. She conversed with me in Hokkein and asked if it was for charity. She was delighted when she knew she got to insert a coin into the opening of the aluminium cans. She forked out 10 cents from her pocket. Little the amount may seem, but when I knew it was her hard-earned money through can-collection, my heart totally sank. I felt sorry, compassionate for her, and yet felt she was a heroine in her own ways. That 10 cents could probably be her saving up for a meal!

That was not all. Her neighbour (I suppose) actually saw her donate and mocked at her in Hokkein, saying that she herself had no money yet she donated money and what an irony it was. The amazing thing was that old lady remained very calm and composed. She smiled, kept quiet and just walked away slowly.

I was really really touched by this scene. No words I can use, can describe the kinda feeling I was going through. Just through a flag exercise along, you get to see and experience for yourself the warmth as well as the disappointment our fellow Singaporean counterparts are. I'm not trying to be critical but those in office wear, men and ladies alike, are one of the most stingy and arrogant people who refuse to donate, let alone care about the donor.

Anyway, the entire Flag day was enriching and I never regretted waking up early for it.

Applause

An applause is just a facade by the audience to show their appreciation and nothing more than that. It is something which I've just come to realise.

What's a good teacher?

"Look, the best teachers don't give you the answers. They just point the way and let you make your own choices, your own mistakes. That way, you get all the glory. And, you deserve it." - Mr Sue, Glee Ep. 12

Thanks YQ. It's really heartfelt when I get to experience it myself. :)

抛物线

蔡健雅


我确实说我这样说我不在乎结果
我对你说我有把握成功例子好多
人们虚假又造作总爱得不温不火
我们用真心就不会有差错
我没想过我会难过你竟然离开我

爱沿着拋物线离幸福总降落得差一点
流着血心跳却不曾被心痛削减真真切切
青春的拋物线把未来始于相遇的地点
至高后才了解世上月圆月缺只是错觉

我好想说我只想说我不要这后果
可是你说相对来说走开是种解脱
当初亲密的动作变成当下的闪躲
感情的过程出了什么差错
我没想过我会难过你终于离开我

爱沿着拋物线离幸福总降落得差一点
流着血心跳却不曾被心痛削减真真切切
青春的拋物线把未来始于相遇的地点
至高后才了解世上月圆月缺只是错觉

爱沿着拋物线离幸福总降落得差一点
流着血心跳却不曾被心痛削减真真切切
青春的拋物线把未来始于相遇的地点
至高后才了解世上月圆月缺只是错觉
至高后才了解世上月圆月缺只是错觉
只是错觉

非常喜欢这首歌的歌词，尤其是放黑的那两行．

谢谢ＹＱ的魔鬼训练．

SCAMP!

Hello World,

I'm back and totally shagged ttm. Hahaha. For those wondering where I was for the past few days, I was at NUS! Hahaha. Yea, attended SCAMP from 21-25 June and had a hell good time there. Met wonderful people, played wonderful games, screamed funny cheers, drank yummy alcohol and danced till the cows went home. Yipee~ I really really really enjoyed this camp. I wished it has never ended. Hahaha!

I really liked the conscientious way the organisers planned the activities. It was so good, even better than those planned by teachers. The timings were just nice and the activities - bagus! I cannot emphasize how much effort they have put in to organise this seemingly easy 5 days event.

Of all the activities, I loved Day 4 the most. Hahaha. We had Sentosa games followed by clubbing. Yea, it sounds really crazy but I think it was a once-in-a-lifetime-never-to-be-missed activity. It was my first time clubbing and I'm like kinda addicted to it already... But of cos, gotta control cos my pocket went bust just after that day and my ears almost went deaf. LOL. Of cos, I loved Sentosa. The sun, the beach and the wonderful (but painful) tan I got even after applying sunblock (SPF 108) twice. My sun-kissed skin is so nice, golden-brown now, I'm lovin' it!

And so, with much sweat and tears, we ended the 5 days camp with a blast (by playing polar bear?!?!)!!! LMAO.

And coincidentally, I had a wonderful group of peeps who organised a fabulous trip to M'sia on 26th June, making my entire week packed ttm but happy and crazy at the same time. Thank you, people!!! I'm really shagged but on the inside, I feel so loved by all of you!

Oh yes, before I forget, THANK YOU MY BELOVED JIE MOOI for heading down and scavenging for me on the first day. HAHAHA. I had a good laugh at lao niang, like seriously!!!

Thanks to everyone who made this camp fun and happening in one way or another. It's definitely etched onto a section of my mind like forever. The memories make the camp feel like it just happened yesterday and I'm definitely missing SCAMP already! :(

Love ya, guys! And I hope to see you guys soon!

Kunai, FTW!

害怕

家中又吵得鸡犬不宁。因为害怕再次受到打击，所以选择什么都不管，什么都不理。

又有回到中学时的感觉，好想每天躲在外头，找人陪伴，也不愿回家。

希望这场雨赶快过去，日子安宁点。
