hello! grim!
i had a very meaningful weekend!! =) on sat! i went on an outing with Mindsville to watch fireworkssssss and kinda had 2 residents who were attached to jin, geehoe and me! =) shall call them LS and GP ba! It's my 2nd time actually volunteering for people with autistic personal and it's a whole new experience for me. When i was in poly! it's kinda scary when i first step into MINDS becos some of them actually shouted at me for no reason! But! after awhile! u will realise that they shout becos they are happy! and that's how they actually express it! becos some of them cant really speak well! So i had fun there playing games with them and trying my best to chat with them! 4.5years later! this whole weird feeling came back when i was trying hard to communicate with GP. I think it's hard to actually blog it down the weird feeling that they can give u! but i felt happy trying to cheer them up! even thou i think they dun really understand what i am saying.
They gave me a new insights on how simple life can be! Just smile =) and it's not tt complicated after all! seriously i think it's us humans who make it so complicated and competitive to live on. Their innocent faces together with the smiles actually can bring u to another carefree world where suddenly u feel that dreams do come true and it's within your reach soon~ i'm not sure if anyone do understand what i am trying to say! butt haha it's just different! It's like just by looking at them and staying nxt to them! i will start to dream and dare to dream! becos it's not that complicated after all!!
We had amazing race around suntec and they had some fear in escalator where our roles come into play! but it's kinda annoying when stares are actually shooting on them and us most of the time! give us a break alright! give them a chance to check out suntec and stop being selfish and block their way?? I heard this "jizzzz" sound by one of shoppers when GP accidentally brushed her hand! wa piang! BTH!
"Bing Bomb Bing Bomb" and it's the fireworks! haha! take pics and end of session! i think the headfake for this session is to actually slow things down in life and take a second look on life! seriously! things were alot slower in their lives and i feel more relaxxx compared to....ehh later 1pm where is the lecture ar? nxt week got tutorial ornot? ehh...shit! lab report is due tmlz? haha that kind of feeling =)
Sunday!! wooo woke up at 4.30am! and moved my lazy ass to munch down 2 wholemeal bread!! Had a good water parade and off i go to meet my frensss for 21km AHM run!! haha Seriously! i scare i might collapse so the nite b4 i actually wrote down my daddy's name big big on my number tag...just in case! =) first time running ma! precautionss is the best way to keep u between life and death at times.
Stretch Stretch and off i go for the 21km! haha gosh! i feel kinda light as i ran between the crowds! GOSH! the number of runners is so massive that we had to jog on the spot on some of the occasions at the start of the run! Just ran and ran! enjoying the breeze! and saw alot of motivated runners! Running rox! =) simple fun and healthy! =)! hahah! oh ya! when i was around the 12km mark! haha got this 2 guy giving bananas to the crowd! haha i was telling geehoe! wah piang...so hungry! haha...so i jog and eat the banana at the same time!! GOSH!! it's the best banana i had in my life! haha SO SWEET!!! and filling? lol...the banana moment =)! ran and ran! fatigue legs and stress-out lungs! i continued on and on! haha felt so happy that i completed the run without any stops =)! haha i think i took 2 hours and 15mins? not too sure about the timing! it's okie! i completed the RUN! whooohoo!
Sadlyy, now i got problems moving ard NUS (national university of stairs)!! painful! hope i can recover fast and take my ippt on this coming saturday! haha lastly! compliments to choonguan for the pictures! haha i lazy to take pics and upload =)) hmm should i join 42km run this year?? must really think abt it ! it's 75 bucks!! =( it's 1km = $1.78 hahaha!!

Grim! check this video out! i'm really amazed by how this video can actually kept me glued to the screen and it's a lecture video by Professor Randy Pausch - The Last Lecture! It's a lengthy video about an hour plus. i got inspired after the video and i hope my sharing does inspire some of my frens out there reading my blog. Oh ya! many thanks to wenjin who actually paste this link to me! i kinda decided to get the book but i just hope i got the time to finish the book before the tutorials and mugging starts piling up on me.
Basically, he focused on a few things in his lecture and i myself found some of them pretty useful! He mentioned about this brick wall thing at the start of the lecture where he claims that everything in life! there's this brick wall obstructing you from getting the goal or dream itself! And he latter on claims that the wall actually acts as a Test to determine how badly you want this dream of yours! this will clearly separates THE REST and the BEST? That's how i interpret it and it's so true! nothing is impossible in this world and u just have to make it happen? who? it's u! What's life when there's nothing to strive for? Shady goals and that sense of achievement that each and everyone of us desire for?
Next, he moved on to the thing he called "headfake" where for example u actually gave the kids a chance to play games but in fact the real meaning behind the game is to actually let the kids get to know each other better and how about building teamwork within themselves. I actually pickup this skill when i was in the army and i'm still kinda working on it trying my best to make ppl or frens learnt abt the good things in life! It's not easy! Leadership is a big word! Passion is also another big word! Try to get any kid out there and asked him what are some of his views regarding a passionate leader and he will go like errRR i don't care? HUH how come u ask me such a boring question?
he's one of the guy i am going to be saluting not because he's a professor? nor is he some great man who invented some cash growing machine. The reason why i am spending time on this is because this man live to inspire. The thing he did for his wife was great and talking about the polarity of this person! he's absolutely a positive person despite the conditions that he's facing!
In short, work around with FUN and inspire the people around you! I always believe in good karma too and thank you professor Pausch for some of your enlightening moments =)
Happy Birthday to the LEO brothes! Choon Guan and Wenmin!! =) ROAR!

Hi there Grim,! it's been awhile since i log on to my own website to blog my feelings as i was kinda affected by some of the things that happened but well, i just don't feel comfortable blogging it out! I'm sorry that it took me so long to even write an entry! Things changed and ya! so am i.
Wow! My last entry was talking about how excited i am going for the camp and BLINK! it's been a month since, i met so many friends from the community service club and i am still having trouble trying to get to know and be able to recall the names of every individual in the club! i'm just not good at names sometimes! =) If ever i met u someday and i go like errrr, help me out alright! =) i am sure i will remember them well as time goes by.
Basically, the camp ended with a success and different groups organizing post camp outings trying to create scandals between councilors and freshies. Trust me on this, i'm not so much into scandals and stuff! But i don't mind hearing 1 or 2 scandals of my very own friends! haha =) hmm it's really a whole new experience for me i must say as compared to those days when i was in poly trying to slack my way thru, at least, we shared a common goal to bring the lives of the unfortunate to a whole new level of comfort with all our means.
Job ended last week and i was busy helping out with Project C.A.N and a little tiny bit on Grant a Wish. Basically project C.A.N went well, sweat got over me during collection and distributing of the canned food but what's there to complain when you see the smiles of the elderly giving blessings and thankful notes to you with gratitude. That's sense of achievement man!! Be it crazy or what, i always believed that a simple smile can actually cure millions of diseases. I'm trying and i hope u can bring smiles of the people around you too! I'm sure you can!
Met some really hyper active kids at Melrose Children Home where they showed temper and gusto believing that there's nothing to be afraid of even at the age of 10! I must admit i am shock that how some of them behaved and it's really a pain in the ass trying to make them listen to you! Trust me on that! Nv try nv Know! it's a good place to train your patience if you are lacking some of it in your soul.
Been Appointed the chair-person for Clementi RVP, thanks to kit, terrance and choonguan for giving me this chance! Kinda got arrowed but well it's not a poison arrow as well because at every leadership position you gonna hold nxt time! You will see alot of things in a whole new perspective that you might not even realize. I'm keen to learn and i hope i can at least unify the clementi volunteers to be part of the CSC family! poor clementi =( always forgotten by ppl lol =) Maybe i can start off with the motto of "A good Deed a day keeps your karma away" haha i'm just kidding!
"A good deed a day keeps the melancholy mood away"
Got to go! Will be back with pictures and songs! Keep supporting and thank you everyone for your patience on clicking on my blog~
Lastly, Happy Birthday Mom! =) without you! there's no Jason!
