Despite work.

Jul 01, 2010 02:10

Took leave yesterday for the theory class. Met up with tc at chinatown for lunch at this yong tau fu stall where you cant choose what you want. lol. Then i had my dose my koi again before we headed off to Orchard. Omg orchard again! Somehow we always end up at orchard no matter where else had been the chosen destination. haha. But i had to head to school after that for dive theory. Hee knowledge review was done on the spot with answer almost provided=D Dinner/supper with jasmine and her friends at MOS after that. Iggy's a nice guy and im so happy for jas, screw mr. K>.<

Just finish reading this book during work recently:




Story of Michael Gates Gill falling from ranks. How a man had everything, lost it all, and found it again. Was an inspiring story about the pursuits in life, reminded me about how some things had always been taken for granted and we never learn to appreciate them til we lose them. Same goes to people, it seems like we have a tendency to take people for granted too.

The book also reminded me of the youth camp intellectually challenged beneficiaries. How some people get pity from others when they dont need it. They struggle hard to move on in life not to be sympathised, since they dont really see themselves as people who are disadvantaged. What they really need is dignity and respect, which the mass public often fail to deliver. Not that most people are nasty, but because they find it uncomfortable to witness other people's misfortune. Perhaps bacause we cant deal with the guilt that comes from being unable to help, or maybe we just dont know the right way to react. There must be some psychological term for it, wait til i find out. haha

Ok on a more lighthearted note, i realise i gotta work this saturday cos the media's coming. haha how nice is that-__- So my dinner outing with the HK peeps is half screwed=( Boohoo. I was waiting to celebrate Jas's belated bday=( But yay we're finally meeting up with jelmer pok in the noon but that also means that im gonna miss ddc's session again>.<
