Simple Thoughts.... Complex Thinking..... In Search For An Answer
~* Sunday, June 26, 2005 *~
I've been packing my stuff for my Aussie trip, trying to pack as light as possible but there is still so many things i have to bring... lucky i got a damn big suitcase! Weiyang has finally sent me the pics.. so can post a few up for ur viewing pleasure.. & some which we took while celebrating min li's birthday.. but kinda blur some technical problem i guess...
I did something meaningful today.. i went for this "Care to Dance" program set up by the YMCA where I had the chance to have a good at Lindy Hop and later headed down to Assumption Sch to teach the kids from MINDS how to dance. They were having a 3 day camp, where we were part of their program for their 1st day.. After seeing them, it really pains my heart to see that the difficulties they have to face everyday, some had trouble walking.. others were really old but still had the mind of a toddler. We each buddy up with one of them and bring them thru the simple steps and mainly to interact, guiding them along so that they can have a good time! Even simple activities like these make them really happy as they try their best to imitate our actions.. they were laughing and just so innocent... sometimes it's nice to enjoy simple small things...

Dance is a little insanity that does us all a lot of good. - Edward Demby
I was buddy with this boy at a point in time.. he can't even remember his name! so guess wat!? we name him "handsome boy"... it was really difficult talking to him, as he speack in a sler which i could barely understand.. then his coordination was very bad.. being a step slower then most of the others, but he was so loving, giving hugs and saying that everybody is his friends.. so cute!
As i see the difficulties they have to face in their life.. to live life each day.. needing someone to take care of them round the clock.. not able to transcend their basic mental level of understanding.. R they missing out on life? or is their ignorance blissful? It bring a joy to my heart knowing that i made someone esle's day today.. even though it is a small action.. it is a satisfaction to help those less fortunate then ourselves.. i'm not trying to be Mother Teresa or something.. it's just something i would encourage you to try out.. so far most of the community service I have done or feedback from my friends have been nothing but positive! Made some new friends there as well! :D
This is the type of difference i wanna make.. not how i boost the financial figures of big companies.. the car I drive.. the money i make... the struggle that i have to fight of practicality, materialism with the pulling of my heart strings, spirituality & world peace... haha... well, you get the picture.. so Wat do i really wanna do with my life? I ask myself that qn everyday.. somedays it is clear, some days loopsided, some days i dun have a clue...
Not in much of a talking mood today, sorry to those who attempted to call me.. i'm just kinda drained and since i am at hm.. just wanna enjoy the nice peace and quiet of the night..
