Creations

I wonder how could human beings create such sophisticated sculptures and buildings. Looking around the world in different light seems like I was brought to an entirely new place.

Yet we could see many people destroying what they were given, perhaps, if the world would to end now and let another race rule maybe it would be a better place.

My granny is asking me to go for church services again, I'm fine with that.

But to baptise?

hmmm...

No I'm not running away but..

argh. screw this. the migraine is coming back to kill me ):

dream house!

Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home. ~ Mother Teresa

My dream house seems so fairy tale like. I remembered someone told me its impossible for me to fulfill this dream, such would not be possible in Singapore! But in other places, I'm sure one day I'd fulfill my dream. To lead a simple and peaceful life after my retirement. The thought of reading a book under a dreamy star filled sky, this feeling is... inexplicable.

Oh like in my previous post I woke up early in the morning today travelling all the way to Bras Basah to Kum Yan Methodist church. I guess it a missionary as well as providing welfare to one room flats rented from the government by old people. So After the briefing and stuff we set off in a mini bus and ended up in North Bridge Road where the government, houses these people.

oh and I just received a text that says I'd be ignored for one hour ): sigh. THIS SUCKS. ):

Looking around the place I'd say they are given quite a great condition and facilities! Heres what they got.

A beautiful garden with loads of exercising areas!

High rised apartment flat!

A canteen area by volunteers for food at practically no charge!

Gym facilities!

karaoke plus many many other activities room such as chess!

Omg their like so good right! Like living in condo sia everything is just located under their void deck! All they need is a swimming pool and its on par with a normal condo flat! Got chance I also want leh. Their rental only 100 dollar per month includes all utilities bill and somemore can ask volunteers from downstairs to clean their flats at no charge!

So yup, we broke up into small groups and went on with the main purpose, I was grouped with my grandma and another old lady. She was a rather friendly lady rather healthy too, even at the age of 75 she could walk unaided. The first unit was at the 9th floor, we went there to meet a granny which they had once visited before, although it was not the first time visiting old folks living in one room flats its the first time for me to actually step in and mingle in their home. I'd say everything is well provided and one room is ample for them, but there won't be extra space for anything more than a bed, a cupboard and a Tv rack. Something like our very own chalet in downtown east. But like the nature of old folks to keep stuffs, even unnecessary ones their house would likely be packed with tons of trash which they deem as valuable and as waste to throw them away. I took this mentality in when I was on my way up.

Upon knocking the door the group of three was greeted with a warm smile and she cordially invited us in to chat up further. We went in and the 3 old ladies started chatting about their life, seemly friends which had met long long time ago. Like a usual conversation, old people would usually take about 3 points.

• Their Past.
• Their Grandchildren/Children.
• Their Health.

They were speaking in Cantonese making it hard for me to join in, not that I don't understand Cantonese but phrasing chim sentences kills loads of my brain cells and it was still early in the morning. I'd rather sit back and listen. While the threesome continued, I peered around the house trying to see how limited space was. Without the divider that the old lady placed up I'd say the room is only like 250 sq ft? I could only give a light smile and nod in agreement when they mention and gave me eye contact.

But it's kind of pitiful for such old folks to live alone in such flats, having no one to take care of them. Some even at the age of 98 lives alone in this little room of theirs. Their physical needs are often answered by the volunteers but what about their other needs? Upon talking to them many of us could see that they are generally unhappy, unhappy about many many things, being lonely is one of the common issue. They had lived alone for so long with no family members, no kins, no friends, no one to confide into. Having to bear all their problems they face, they worries, no one could share their burden. ): If this happened to me I won't know what to do. Life would indeed suck, suck to the fullest. Let's just pray that it won't happen...

Did I mention that their house is filled with gadgets to prevent and observe their safety? Their house even had a movement detector to ensure their safety and any unusual activity would be reported directly to the control station below their block! They also had alarms and emergency bell which they could press and an ambulance would be directed to their aid immediately!

The duper loud siren outside each of their units.

All of these would not have been possible without these passionate volunteers from Peace Connect! http://www.pcnl.org/about_us.html

We then went back to the church and had a 'holy' debrief. It was kinda weird where The Lord is mentioned in every single like they speak. ._. Thereafter I brought my grandma to bugis street and ate Lerk Thai since shes mad over Thai food.

wanting yet never achieving

Oh look its so early! 8 plus in the morning! Hahaha.

It has been a week since school started. Everything seems so, smooth sailing, perhaps its time to work even harder this semester not just to make up for the last but to enrich myself with all that knowledge which I want to learn.

I wouldn't say that I did not try to study for the last sem but I just couldn't score well. Maybe its time to put in that extra bit of effort in scoring!

Oh and to that lovely friend of mine, I guess bits and pieces of your past are pouring back to haunt you again. Sigh. But I'm sure you would pull through again! That's for sure. Let's just hope and pray that all goes well for the medical report! :)

Why does she deserve all this shit. Life is unfair. But what does not kill you, makes you stronger right? :D

let no destination be the destination.

SEEEEEEEEEEEEEE DANDELIONS! WOOHOO.


Sometimes it's just better to let nature take course, knowing too much just makes life boring. :> let the wind carry where we may go.

Somehow, we flew out of Singapore today. So fun right. 25/10/11 shall not be a sucky day. hi, it didn't suck rightttt? ):

After a long long time of rotting, crapping and eating instant noodles, we decided to go ahead with our trip to Pulau Ubin as the sky was rather clear. I guess the bus ride there was rather boring as someone, decided to be sleepy and not entertain me ):

first picture of the day! Look its flowers, I guess someone is really starting to love flowers! :3 and not cut of the tail of lizards.

The wait for the boat was rather long and we started taking photos. While the Caucasian couple started ranting about how bad the ferry service was, I guess it was rather true.

loook its my Porsche sunglasses from Indonesia! 10 bucks nia!

oh and here's the girl with motion sickness trying to not vomit!

Sadly it started drizzling, but it only lasted during the boat ride! We arrived and went biking. I'd say the biking experience was rather fun, if only I didn't have to catch up like 90% of the time ): idk how someone could paddle so fast. kns. and and and if we didn't get bitten by mosquito along the way. We cycled without any proper destination though and ended up in dead ends. Then, she started grumbling about being hungry and we decided to go back for seafood horfun!

I'd say that the horfun there was rather nice, like the last time I ate, the seafood there is really fresh! And heres what we did while waiting...

look at the hungry goblin. x.x

After lunch we decided to return the bikes and explore by foot instead. And again, the destination was to see a proper sunset by the beach. Which had failed in the past few days. Okay. Looked up the map and decided on Noordin beach, a beach at the extreme north end of Pulau Ubin. The walk there was rather tiring as it was about 3km? adding up with our tired legs. Imagine! Soon, we were at the beach! Not the best sunset but still, it was worth the walk.

The skys suddenly darken as the clouds moves in, we decided to hasten our pace. Thanks for dragging me out of that place. :D haha. So we made our way back to the jetty and boarded the boat. 'Last' boat too. lucky us? <:

We made our way back to the interchange and I was so hungry that I had to stop by the famous changi village market for some food. The carrot cake was a turnoff I must say, but but but the satays are rather appealing to me, maybe I'm just hungry. Idk.

OH HI WE SHARED A KIT KAT. <: it cost me 50 cents!

The way back was rather quiet, as she decided to be sleepy and not talk to me again, apparently staring out to the window was more fun. Kidding! I dozed off and shortly after, I found myself in Tampines. Waved goodbye at her void deck and that marks the end of 25/10/11.

P.S. When will you level up and piggyback me when I'm tired ):

deja vu?

I guess somethings we would only experience one. Exams anxiety is one of them.

Woke up early in the morning today and went to her house. Sadly her prepaid died. And I forgot to save her house number. I stood outside the door for quite a while trying to wake her up with the pathetic door bell. With the neighbour giving me constant weird glares.

After A WHILE, we left house and went to have breakfast, no lunch, at 201. Had Mac, again. Shortly after, we wished each other good luck and waved goodbye! While she was on her way to Dunman, I went home as I was having runs. ._. Saw J under my block again. Pulled myself together and went to Pasir Ris Sec, Paper 1 was rather a killer, I think I'm gonna score rather badly. There goes my A. Sigh. Picking myself up, I went back in to take Paper 2, I felt it was rather okay as most question were attemptxable. Hopefully I would do well! #fingerscrossed. Henry appeared at the school gate once I was dismissed started questioning about the exams and took my scrips. He is one good teacher I'd say, someone whom is more worried for me than myself.

In between all this, many of my friends taking O levels texted me for updates. I guess thats what we all did during our Sec 4 days. hmmph. Oh did I mention that ah yam was in the same exam room as me. Thank god he didn't recognise me or he would pester me again talking all about D.

Had dinner and went for a hair cut. Then went home. <---- abrupt ending due to poor information feed. (might edit soon)

plant a garden, believe in the future.
