Before I start this blog post, I wish to write something really off-topic.

When someone tells you something, you have a umbrella to block what you hear, Some people just tells you stuff to get to you closer. Dont you feel that you’re used?

Let me give you a simple senerio. I make out with Girl A and Girl B.

At first I go with Girl A, later, Girl B came, so I go with both Girl A and Girl B, after that my attention is focused with Girl B.

Probably Girl B is prettier, So I neglect Girl A.

While Im enjoying, Girl A is there suffering. But Obviously, I am not going to break with Girl A, what if Girl B fails  ( and the relationship turns sour and dont go well? )
So Girl A is like a backup for the guy.

You get what situation you are in?
Dont just follow your heart, use your head too.

Think about it and give me a ping once you read this.

Thanks to Jiehan, Dave, Kevin, Basia, Jamie, Mirabel, Chirstina, Jasmine, Raffy, Nic, Jovita and Rachel for helping out for the River Valley event today or giving me encouraging words to move on!

Today was a very fruitful event, It was River Valley’s Service Learning workshop for Sec 3’s and Sec 4’s Student Leaders. So today there was 37 students + 1 Teacher.

Our main aim for this Service Learning Workshop is to inspire the youth to serve the community and to equip the skills to practise Service Learning.

This is how the day goes today..

Woke up as early as 5.30am to greet the morning sun. I was out of my house around 6am, I walked somewhere close to Swiss Cottage Secondary School to wait for the Taxi that Dave has prepared for us.

After the briefing has been done by the All Saint’s Home Staff, we students began working on their individual projects. ( Thanks to Dave for the photography! )
Society need people like these students, which are willing to share, give and learn.
Their actions portray good values and hopefully, this will inspire you to visit a Old Folks Home Soon.

After that, I took some noodles from Trybe’s Centre nearby Hawker Centre and left the area.

This experience is very fulfilling
