its alright, im ok, i think god can explain...

Well... that ends it! 4 days straight of CIP.. ow... Sat, Sun, Mon, Tue.... nearly the whole day gone every day. But in serving the community, i really did feel enriched... maybe there is some merit to doing these things.

DAY 1 - Family Day @ ACJC sponsored by MINDS and NeWater
preperations went smoothly enough, when the buses started to unload the people though... it felt hard to keep that smile in place as the diff people came, looking slightly lost and all, in some way, had their shortcomings showing physicall. I just felt so sorry for these people and the normal life they had been denied.
thoughts of unfairness and injustice filtered through my mind.
yet, as they walked past me(the usher at the gate) many stopped to smile and say hi...
ignorance is bliss?
my heart was just.... wrenched... there is no other way of saying it... and yet with all that they did not have, they were joyful about the things that they DID have, like the volunteers who came along with them, people with sincere hearts and beautiful souls, like their family who came along on the hot day just to be with them...Their enthuism made this so much more enjoyable than i thought possible.
my cup overfloweth...
DAY 2 - Science Center & RTC stayover
okie... SC was as fun as always, though yeah, nothing changes that dramatically... people were friendly and generally approachable. Good Singaporeans. Pretty much nothing happened over the 3 days so yeah. just liddat lorh.
rest... i need rest....
haha... went to meet the guys at NetSpiel at arnd 8 on Sat, and played til like 1am.. haha... nuts right? then went back to RTC with them and slept while they played...(had to go for Science Center the nxt day)
Hmm... all this CIP... pretty worn out:P gonna study with Adel now...
i know why people drink now, why they take drugs... its to forget... forget the pain, the humdrum, the loser-ness of their lives... i know now...
