Haha in view of recent events, I felt an inclination to change my blog template. I mean after a while, the "freshness" wears off and you want a new face and a new mood. I always pick my blog templates based on which ones put me in a good mood when I see them. And this one represents my current mood - HUNGRY! :D :D :D I bet celeste will sooooo love this template manz. XDActually I don't feel like blogging. Hmm ok so what happened recently... CO prac is drawing to a close. :( Last friday's prac was quite efficient cos we managed to go through whole song, even though it was the first time we were praccing 3 out of the 4 movements. Last night I was discussing with tienli how CO has somehow become less fun after concert...which is so sad :( but whatever it is, I'm still really really really going to miss CO pracs and CO people after prac stops. (which is basically like next week, and dazu has ALREADY stopped D:)
On saturday went for CIP at IMH with SL group. For some unknown reason I wasn't REALLY surprised by what I saw and the experience was pretty much what I had expected. Perhaps it's cos of the interview that we conducted with the IMH Job Club guy which I personally found extremely inspiring and which more or less prepared me for the CIP experience. But well, despite not having any groundbreaking learning points or whatever, I do think that it has and will contribute to my discovering more about myself.
One of the questions that I was asking myself is HOW exactly should we, as volunteers, position ourselves in relation to the "special friends". There IS some significance in the group leaders telling us to treat them as "special friends" rather than patients. On the other hand, the guy whom sarah and I were talking to kept thanking us for coming down to visit them, which was really nice, but also gave me some food for thought. Should we think of us going down as "helping" them, or more along the lines of "making friends", and learning from each other mutually? What about the special friends whom we go down to visit? How do THEY view this entire experience?
Ok I can't really think of anything to say liao so shall post up a couple of nice songs. :)
Breathe - Taylor Swift ft. Colbie Caillat
Really nice song that I listen to when I feel a bit sad/emo. It really helps to calm me down. :)
It's Not Just Make Believe - Kari Kimmel
This song ALWAYS makes me go super high. :) Fairytales <3
Before I end off, thanks to everyone who has been so caring and encouraging over the past couple of weeks. It's been full of trials and tribulations but all your love and friendship helped me stay strong throughout. This experience has taught me to treasure life, as well as everyone around me, so don't worry about me, I'll be fine! :)
Friends are the sunshine in your life. :)
