did CIP yesterday morning from 0800-1200
with Metta and Patricia
such an early time + such a quiet place (suntec&raffles) = BAD RESPONSE ):
then we decided to walk to CHIJMES to try our luck
but it didnt make a very big diff either
BUT
smth happened
this man leading this blind man
came up to us and asked us if we could bring him to THE BENCOOLEN
so we said OKAY
and started walking him there
he's quite a chatty person
asked us bout our school, name, etc.
and even told us a joke!
and finally we brought him there and another person took him away
and then Metta and I decided to go temple since we're alrdy there :p (hahah i know we're not supposed to)
then Patricia was so excited
and was so happy that a lot of people there donates
so we decided to stay there and do our CIP (forgot to mention,its flag day)
then we finished our stickers and went strolling arnd for a while and finally back to the collection station (:
after that i went jurong library with rheza (coz i need him to teach me maths & physics, i suck in both)
and then i wasted my night
yupp and i call it a day
my point is
i dont really like flag day
although its helping people in a way
but i prefer earning the money on my own rather than ask people for money without doing anything
yesterday was kind of a turn
we helped that blind man
that short period of time
felt more meaningful than the rest of the time
it wasnt about the outcome that we get
but the lesson we learn
the reflection we make
the action we take
and what i learnt
is that i take everything for granted
but when we compare ourselves with those who are less fortunate than others
who would be the luckier one?
i know this may sound very very typical
like those you would write in every reflection
those that you forge out just to get a point to fill up that piece of reflection essay
but this is what i really feel (:
