ok im so tired now so shant blog in detail...
today rushed down to church immediately after tuition to meet for community service project. half of us went in the bus and the other half went in the parents' cars... and me, ryan, gabriel tan and nic ow went in nic ow's parents car. half the time ryan was listening to music on his ipod and was like dancing and dancing and singing to himself.
then we arrived at the pelangi village and we went into one of the homes which i forgot what the name of it was haha. but all the ex mental patients were there sitting in some kind of canteen and at first when i saw them i felt like quite uncertain, because they were so many of them and we didnt know what we were going to be like.
but it turned out to be very meaningful...like many of them are like very poor thing and got a sad history like the family abandon them and all those. many of them were very happy when they saw us and even happier after we served them the food and sang the songs for them. even though we were a bit shy (scared?) at the start... we got to talk and interact with many of them and realised that they werent that different after all. i think its just great how they can be so happy while just living a simple life there with all their friends. many of them who we talked to said they were very happy living there as they could talk to all their friends all day and were not lonely at all.
what touched me most was when we were singing the final song before leaving, one of the patients was very happy and his toothless smile was one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen! he was just so happy and was clapping his hands and saying byebye! to us. i cant wait to go back there again. but cant go next saturday though cos of cadenza rg band concert :( or maybe :)
so after that we took the bus back to church cos nic ow's parents hadnt reached and dunno where they were. then got this boring debrief and reflections writing before we were dismissed. i think i wrote more reflections here than in the csp booklet haha.
then me ryan gabriel bong went to the hawker centre near bongs house to eat before going bongs house. we thrashed his house haha! first we went to jump in all the cushions on the floor at his living room. haha then we broke his brother's portrait.
and the end result...
haha nice right! crack until very artistic. anyway its a long story...first ryan went to bathe in bongs toilet. bong opened the locked door from outside (how did he do that) and then pissed ryan off haha. so bong faster ran to hide in his room and locked the door. then when ryan came out he was also damn pissed so he wanted to get into bongs room. dunno how long bong stayed there and didnt wanna come out...
so ryan being the smart ryan as he is tried to climb in to the room through the window between the living room and bongs room, while bong was playing his guitar and singing. but he didnt wanna let bong know so he took the portrait (above) off the wall and put it on the sofa next to us. so he climbed up into the window and bong tried to push him out but too late... and then ryan fell and dunno who stepped/fell on the portrait. and ta-da! cracked portrait hahahaha. bongs reaction just classic! but at least that got him to come out from the room.
today was fun! gotta wake up early tmrw though for 9 am mass. my dad's coming back from thailand tonight. like about midnight so ill probably stay up to wait, since its already 11 plus...
