today had been a pretty meaningful day. went to "peace haven" nursing home to distribute oranges to the elderly. it was an event organised by the "lions association of singapore". went with my mum, sis and uncle. basically, it is a place for elderly ppl who suffer from dementia. it is quite a big place accommodating 300 plus ppl with a complete range of facilities. so we were there to spread the warmth of chinese new year to them and let them know tt there are still alot of ppl out there who care for them. =) there were some who are completely fine and could communicate effectively with us, while others who do not really talk much but i can still feel tt they enjoyed our company. after the visit, i really think tt we should cherish everyday of our life and dun hesistate to express our love and gratitude to those around us. it has been pretty long since my last volunteer work. i still remember the last one was with lions association also, when we brought children to choose their new year clothes and toys. it was a new experience back then, being able to see them so happy also brought a smile to my face. i really enjoy doing volunteer work but time seems to be the limiting factor sometimes. i always imagined tt i will go around spore or maybe even overseas to help ppl do health checkups if i have the skills and ability next time. i wish tt the world will be peaceful and everybody around me will be healthy!
now to update about what happened the past few days. ystd was a very fun day. went to eat reunion steamboat dinner with my uni OG mates at bugis. i drove there and i muz say tt spore gov is really brilliant in placing the erp gantries at strategic locations. a wrong turn and tts it, another erp will pop up ahead of u. anw, we had a great time laughing and enjoying the food at the same time. i never failed to laugh my hearts out when i am with them. they juz simply rock! love ya all. =) cant wait for our kbox session soon!
14th feb was of coz a meaningful day for me. it was the first valetine's day tt i got to celebrate with my dear. however, it felt kinda out of place or mayba i should say sad because of the issue tt happened recently. i only got the chance to celebrate with dear in school during the afternoon period. we ate lunch together at yunan garden and took a stroll at a place tt not many ppl know exist in ntu. although we only got to spend a few hours together, i really enjoyed every moment of it and like what dear said, quality is more impt than quantity. i drove back home after tt and dear accompanied me on the car. we were listening to "the power of love" cd tt he got for me and there was a slight traffic jam. tt was the first time i wished tt the jam was a massive one. was kinda sad when we parted. so i spent the night with my mum and we went to riverview hotel to have a buffet dinner. it was a lovely one and i enjoyed it alot too. we took a short stroll along clarke quay after dinner and it was pretty heartwarming. can see tt my mum was very happy and i am really glad tt she was.
a few days back, i told my mum about how i felt about the issue and she replied me too. in short, she said tt she cant stop me if i wanna be together with dear and she believes in fate. she agreed tt fate has brought me together with dear but she said tt maybe dear and her are not fated (she joked tt maybe they were enemies in their last life, lol). she did not have a very good first impression of him the very first time they met and tt was a major part i guess. but at least now the dark clouds over our rs have seemed to clear abit and i am contented with the outcome of this seemingly complicated issue. so we have all agreed tt the priority now is to keep our grades up and focus on the upcoming quiz and exams. we can then slowly build up our rs and try to improve my mum's impression of dear. after this issue, i really think tt first impression is very impt in establishing other ppl's view of u.
thanz to all those hu provided me with advice and showed concern over the past few weeks! i am really glad to have this bunch of good friends and dun worry, i am much better now. =) so focus is now on studies and i planned out a little timeline in my mind on how to manage the following 14days to chiong for my tcm exam. hope i can stick to it!
