Sunday...
i am so heavily involved in planning and coordinating and liaising...
it feels both sucky and yet there's a sense of accomplishment....tis is definitely part of the noc experience....
a growing up and maturing process for some, and for others, learning how to be even more mature adults...
i finally got to go chinatown todae....we went there to do some urgent grocery shopping...hahaz....
Below 2 fotos depict the more traditional look of the Chinese towns....
A shop selling groceries....look at tis box of ginger...so nostalgic, so retro kind of feeling! i juz had to photograph it....hahaz....
Passed by tis monument on the way home....it says sth like.... "We give freedom to the Slave. We assure freedom for the free"....
wow....looks like sth from ages ago....when there was still discrimination against the blacks...dat era....
************************************************************************************
I feel myself being in the midst of some politics....It's onli so earli in tis programme and i can oredi feel it....
some ppl help others with an agenda in mind....
Some ppl don help unless it benefits them....
Why?
I noe the world and the workplace revolves around tis kind of mindset most of the time....and I've alwaiz been revolted by it.....
Now, i'm oredi feeling so....
For myself, once i decide to help someone with sth, back in sg or here, it's most usually wholeheartedly so....i don like to do thgs with an agenda in mind or some motive....it's so tiring....
I have to concede dat sometimes i do, well, after all, i'm still human right....
But, wat i wan to stress is....some ppl do so most of the time.....and it's reali very irritating....
Maybe dat's y i've enjoyed community service in NUS and hav been actively involved in various kinds of projects for the last 2yrs....
They allow me to feel free, to help without expecting returns....to feel happy when i see the smiles on the faces of kids or the needy....
Well, i don wan to be involved in too much politics....i'll juz adopt a defensive stance and as long as i'm not being harmed, i will remain so....juz like Singapore Mindef's stance yah...onli defence....
Okie....first dae of work tmr....i better get some sleep soon....
nitez ppl....
