I'm back!

Big apologies to those who are dissapointed to see me not posting anything.

Was super busy the past few days. And despite the fatigue in me, i am here to blog. (!) :D
Now, yesterday, was so called the last' counselling groupwork for us.
Neither happy nor sad. o.O
We had flag day. And i happen to be rather miserable.
Reached there around 8plus, waited for Joan at the bus interchange.
Few people already reached the counselling centre. Fast eh?
So we waited for everyone, by the time he finished briefing, it was 11plus.
When Joan heard she was grouped with Jiawen, she wanted to faint! Ha

Joan: 'Eh Jiawen, qu na li?'
Jiawen: 'Bu Zhi Dao'
Joan: *Mumbles*
Jiawen: 'Bu shuang bu yao zuo la!'

*Everyone laughing*

Set out to get 'ching ching'. It wasnt as easy as We expected.
Took a bus to interchange and went to Bugis.
Some people were really kind that they donated notes.
The one that i had admiration for this particular house, they were busy as they just shifted house this morning. The worker donated all the coins he had and the owner donated not lil too. Although it was merely coins, i could see how generous they were.
We walked through all the streets in Bugis and almost every Angle, there will be people standing there, with the same donation tin.
I really felt that miserable feeling.
To me, it isnt about the coins, but their hearts. How sincere they are, can determine their charcter. It may be 10cents, but it's still giving.

So we have to get back to the counselling centre at 2.
Took a bus straight to another Nicole's house. Took her coins, and it started to rain heavily.
It was really raining cats and dog alright.
Everyone was drenched. (!)
Mr Nair let us weigh his tin and said all of our tins must be his standard.
Reluctantly, went somewhere else to ask donation again.

'I donated already'
The famous line which people said to us, we heard it a thousand times.
Met up qith Cheryl, Janice and co.
Went Janice house and boy, her mother is super generous!
She gave us $20, so we splitted th amt into two tins. (:

Then went to look for Angela, she was with her mother', eating.
She donated one dollar. I was expecting That from Her. Lol
So we went library, adjust ourselves, took a cab back to Bedok.
We were lucky, we reach just when the clock struck fivee.
Waited & waited for everyone.
Then waited again for Mr Nair.
Finally, he told us he wasnt looking for the amt in th tin or heavy it was.
What he wanted was effort.
Weiying finally was relived. Their tin was so lil, but at least they put in effort.
Almost everyone was fustrated, filled with anxiety.
'Howhow, what should we do.. How can we possibly fill this full to the brim?'
'Look at the timee, we are so dead'
'Sigh* Let's pray'
'What should we do? He looks angry. I don't wna get breached ....'

And all the other groupwork sessions, they all applied to this day.
Communication, Anger, Fear and many others.

'Maybe two or three years down the road, you might not rmb me and my workers, but for one thing i'm sure you will never forget, is these groupwork sessions we had.
Even if you only rmb this one topic for these whole session, it's enough already.
Seriously, you guys are one of the best group that we taught.
And i hope that one day if i were to see anyone of you on tv, i will tell my friend, 'Aye, i know this girl ...' ' - Mr Nair

That was all, for yesterday. Everyone didnt ate breakfast. lunch and dinner.
Exhusated + Hungry
Not anough time to go for service, thus, i went for today's servie at 10.
It ended at 1, took a cab down with Tzong Zhao & Amanda to Punggol for cg; Ping's house.
Yes, i'm pratically beat.
So i hope you guys would understand for me, not updating my blog.
