Sigh....... Today is such a sigh of relieve... I handed my assignment for interpersonal skills... I finally got my blog back up again and decided to blog on a regular basis... I dunno what made me want to get this blog back up... Maybe my course that i am studying allows me to ponder about life more indepth...
I dun think many of u all know that i am no longer in Singapore polytechnic doing my Diploma in aerospace electronics... Many people would think that i am crasy and that there are alot of people who can't get into my course... For those people that know me well i think u would know that i would never survive studying such things...
Well i am very happy now... living my life to the fullest by studying Diploma in counselling skills... I am finally doing what i always wanted to do... I always believe that god gave me the gift of empathy... And that to glorify god i would live life as how he wanted me to... This innate gift can be sometimes hurting and rewarding...
I still remember last year... When a SJI teacher invited me to speak at a NYC forum for Service learning... I was asked to speak on what i had done for my project called Sparks of life... It was a project done for MINDS... I raised about 5k, but the money wasn't the issue it was what i learnt in the process that was important... Initially i had a group of commitee, but one by one left my project... It really thought me how to learn through service... I was very disappointed becoz i planned my project with me myself and i, But i was glad that i had 300 over volunteers...
The main thing i wanted to share is that i went through my powerpoint and felt it didn't represent what i wanted to say and what i felt... So i spoke 10 mins without script... Words that came straight out from my heart... It went like this...
"I think after what u all have heard, u would be bored and thing that this is just another person talking about service learning. What makes me so different. Let me tell u why. I started this project with 10 group members. Slowly one by one left. When i was down and felt lonely, i asked myself why am i doing all this, why am i still doing this when my friends left. I pondered for a moment and said.
What i want in life is to be happy and the ultimate happiness u can get is to see the smile on the other person face when u make him happy. Be it giving him money or helping him emotionally. Many of us dun look back and reflect on what we have done for ourselves and others. Why are we living our live with no aim and purpose? To me to help people is the greatest joy in life and to learn from helping others makes live even happier.When was the last time u did something for others. If u tell me never or u dun remember, it is time for u to be happy again by helping others."
I think about 20 poeple cried lor...... Damn awkard lor..... but i think in the end i really want to ask everyone... when was the last time u did something for someone....... if u really dunno i think it is time for u to stretch out ur arms to lend a helping hand.
