Day 24

Went to Moral Welfare Home today to help bring the old folks out to the Botanical Gardens. I find this kind of outings really fun and meaningful. Feel like joining MWH but I have commitments in HopeD and Main Com at the moment, notwithstanding all the tuitions and piano I've got. I love old ppl!! They're so 'he ai ke qin' it's so heartwarming. It's not just any other stroll in the park! Everything is so memorable, sitting tog with the residents on the bus, wheeling them in their wheelchairs, engaging in small talk with them, holding their hands as we walk tog...


Most ppl wld think com service is like doing something for others. Actually it benefits yourself too. Otherwise how often do u think u can take a leisurely stroll in the park, enjoying the beautiful scenery? How often do u speak to others as if there's no boundary although u're only meeting that person for the first time? How often do you feel so relax and exchange smiles with everyone you see as if you're one big family? I don't know abt others but to me com svc is "killing 2 birds with 1 stone". You help yourself and you help others.

Sometimes you look at these ppl and you think they're unfortunate. They nd our help. But actually if u look at it in a philosophical kind of way, these 'unfortunate' ppl have reached some state of 'Nirvana' where they are free from worries. We're the ones who need them to grace our lives, who nd their help to find our purpose.

I'm quite glad I joined NVAC with the opportunity to do all these "good deeds" and yea, even to spread the volunteering spirit to others through NVAC Exposition!! Coming up soon!!
