I decide!
how I live, who I love, Choice is mine, no one gets to make my mind upMood: enthusiastic
I AM FINALLY hauling that fat ass of Terra's to the vet's!!! hahs.. well, I called SPCA, and they told me it's for Stray animals only.. so sad. Ah.. oh well, this cat of mine is an extremely blessed and spoilt for choice.. tsk tsk tsk.. SO.. it's the vet's for her on Monday morning..
You know, she DOES understand what I say most of the time, especially at things directed at her. She has this look on her face that says "I know what you're saying/feeling. It's a pity I haven't got a voice, or you'll have it from me."
WHICH, is scary, for the most part.
Oh, and Terra's a Bengal.. that's her species. Cool right? She looks like a pure bred to me, but my parents insist that she's a local, which I totally agree with them, coz I picked her off the streets.
Anyway, meeting today was rather oh-so-boring. I just.. STONNED. there. like, just sat there and did nothing.. just listened, nodded my head abit... yawned alot.. drank like 6 cups of orange juice.. I think I'll get sick with all that cold juice floating about in my stomach.. heh heh heh..
But I wrote minutes down too.. so did Michelle Ong.. we collaborated the notes and she'll type out the minutes because I couldn't understand what she wrote.. she could understand mine, so I let her take my notes home to get started on the minutes.
I love these meetings.. it's like shaping something so mundane such as community service and making it sound like it's some huge hip thing that EVERYone HAS to do, or they're not cool, that kinda thing. Now, that's what you call being crappy and having fun at the same time. ;) trust me, it gets better after this.
hahas..
I don't know how I really visualised myself getting INto doing community work, I mean, yeah, I've been volunteering ever since I was 8, so it's part and parcel for my growing up. I stopped after a while, coz it was too time-consuming, but I just started back on it. It's crazy, I'm telling you, this whole thing about re-vamping CIP...
But really, if you think about it, these meetings are like mundane. Who WANTS to do community service right? hahas.. you see, I'm a very contradicting person, I may say I hate you, but really, I don't, I'm just saying it coz I wanna say it. Coz it's in the mood.
I may say I love to draw, but in actual fact, I don't even know how to so much as doodle! see? contradicting.
I may say that this whole youth workgroup thing is stupid and mundane, but I'd just go on with it anyway and make sure it becomes a success hit to every youth there is out there in Singapore to know that CIP ain't just about social services.. that there's more to it than all that.. CIP's about volunteering your time to do better good for the society. It may be just helping out an aunty cross the road, or cleaning up the animal pound, or teaching others how to skateboard, or taking some time and effort to play with the kids at the orphanage or hospice like what I do..
It doesn't have to be something gala or grand as fund-raising dinners, charity golf games, or one-off events that HP does.. doesn't have to be that way.. you can go all out to do that sorta thing like helping some way off village in Thailand build up a cool IT-infrastructure or going to Africa to build proper homes, a water system and pathing ways for the young kids with education and proper nutritions.. I mean, yeah, those sound SUPER cool, trust me, they do..
But that all comes with compassion that one has for others.. That's where Gwen-gwen, my lil' cousin sis comes in... she's ambassador for the youth. She's a silver medal NYAA holder, been featured in the news and the papers for her achievements, and right now, she's in India doing some community service thing.
See? I'd vote her for outstanding Youth award if I could, but there are some reservations made that I shan't really elaborate on that won't allow me to vote for her..
All I wish to tell her is: Please do treat Grandma with more respect, do help out with the housework at granny's place, k? hahs.. help wash the clothes, you never know what fun you can get by helping granny together.. ;)
I hope she acts on my advice a little.. coz I don't wish to see everyone get so upset all the time at home..
So, yeah, if she can prove to me she can show some compassion at home, I will nominate her Outstanding Youth anytime. But, you know the criteria's, lil' sis.. ;) I wish to see you become a better person wholly, at home and what you do present yourself to be. Oh, trust me.. I'm so proud of you being so nice and all that.. but reflect that back home too, k? :D
ANYWAY... yeah..
hope she DOES read that when she gets back from India.. hahas..
hmmmm... And as for me.. hahs.. School will be starting soon. OH-SO-SOON.
and for once, in my ENTIRE life, I'm panicking. for school.
yes, I'm panicking for school. What if I don't know what the lecturers are talking about? should I get mom to get me a tutor for more understanding? Am I really game for this all over again?
This is really very scary..
I shall try to start working on my organic Chemistry while keeping the panic bells out of reach. hahahas...
I think I scared Michelle Ong with what we study in poly.. she looked so unsure and terrified when I told her what I studied in my course. heh heh...
Hmmm... well, okay, I'm getting outta here now...
will blog again later...
toodles for now! ;)
