okie it's time for an update..though nt like there's much to update bout. i juz wanna say TGIF! i've had project meetings every single day of e wk..& lugging my laptop wif me almost everyday is real troublesome but i need it to do my project stuffs..tis is wat we call technology dependence =p anyway i'm pretty sure projects after projects is gonna drive me crazy by e end of e sem. how am i to split my brain into 5 sections so dat i can wholly concentrate on brainstorming for each of my projects & cum up wif sth constructive/creative? well nvm i hafta find a way anyway.
btw i received news dat we lost another elderly today. it's such a sad coincidence..juz within a yr, we lost all e 5 elderlys who haf been wif us for e longest time. i guess dat's wat we have to be prepared for when we volunteer wif e elderlys..dat they may juz leave us anytime. one day we see them looking healthy & fine, another day we may juz see them frail & unwell..& then we gotta get ourselves mentally prepared for anything dat may happen.
anyway Mdm Nyterng has been wif e Touch volunteers since a few yrs ago but i only visited her more frequently tis yr coz she went to stay wif her daughter for a period of time. she was a respectable lady who was very helpful to others, especially to the less fortunate in her younger days. when she used to be healthier, she always advised us to study hard & loved giving us kisses on our cheeks as a way of thanking & blessing us. but only recently, she suffered a fall & was bedridden. despite her frailty, she would still try to respond to us. & i remembered her saying "God is great. He sent you all to help me." i guess God decided it was time for her to leave, to be spared from her pain. afterall, Mdm Nyterng has done so much good in her life.. i believe she wouldnt have much regrets.
