Things that I've never done before, and i'm glad that start to do them now.

"When i meet someone, who naturally changed me into a better person, deep inside, i know, that i've met love" - MikeT


Visual Clarity vs Cognitive Clarity.
Communicating with a group of blind and visually impaired, was a task that needs extra sensitivity and consideration. Yesterday (Sunday), i was assigned right on the spot as a volunteer without any notice, to take care of a group of blind and visually impaired people that came to the temple for a luncheon.


On the table, i have observed that, blind people indeed sees more than what normal people do. There was an indian uncle who asked me a lot of questions, and i have to be very descriptive, in order to get a picture projected into his mind. I believe that, seeing with the mind instead of the eye, makes the world looked more beautiful. I walked one of the blind mates to the toilet, and telling him about every step up and step down along the way, leading him to the urinal and sink, and bringing him back to his seat. With just a simple task like that, i received the world's most sincere thank you that warms my heart. It is the truth that, the little things that we do is always left unappreciated, but our blind mates sees all those things way clearer than us.


Sports. Just a game or a way of life?

Basketball followed by Volleyball on the next day. That is all the sports i am doing for now. I enjoyed every moment of it. The team work, the laughter, the fun, the company. It is not easy to get a network of friends who comes out together, for a game. These things gets rare when you reach a certain age where all your friends are busy for work. I've played sports for fun since young, i can get really hot headed, wanting to score high and show off when i was small. But for now, everything is focused on self determination, even when i'm tiring down, i shall not slow down when there is opportunity to score, when our scores are way lower than our opponent, we should play the game better and harder, not just trying to rush for the scores. We should learn how not to give up, at times when everything looks like it's falling apart. 


I've learnt about patience, and how to let go of little negative feelings in the mind. All i need is a small reason to be happy. All i need is to appreciate small lil gestures to me happy.


Observe like a falcon, think and appreciate like a blind :)


"I'll work for love, overtime" Will Work For Love - Usher


Now that i have to be financially independent, i start to feel that there is a need to plan on my expenses. Influenced/inspired by my kiasu lover, i am starting to make an expenses logbook, to identify, things that i overspent on, and how to reduce them to fulfill the quota.


I've also started to plan for projects, learning how to approach different departments for informations, and questioning the leaders from the top, in order to make sure that the project is planned to execute efficiently. Yes, these might be simple, and in fact, most of my young friends are already doing these. I'm proud that they did. I've been working alone all these while, and i seldom take on projects from big organizations, so i tell myself that, this is the time, to take my steps,and learn how to do all these little things, get an experience, and strengthen my personality.






Believe or not, i did all these out of love and passion. My confidence tells me that, even if i fall, there's still love. I work for love, and these gives me the passion to grow and mature mentally, every single day.
