Zest Party 2007 20th Jan 6.30pm - 9pm
lol. i think we forgot to blog last week. oh well.
today went down again to SMU. was late cos I got stuck in school with some admin for teachers. grr. anyway stupid traffic was real bad. took 171 all the way down to SMU. how convenient lol. then after that went in and took a seat. was the usual fare, the presentation on leadership traits and all.
was feeling quite blur today lah. lol anyway after that thing ended we had a short meeting.
we talked about the posters, how kelvin kept going on MC and after some sidelining and going back on track, we decided to do the stuff first before visiting the agencies. ie whatever we can do we do first.
yea and then we meeting again at 11 tmrw. haha when i put it into words seems like we didn't do a lot O_O
Hello!
Today I went to HWA in the evening for their ZEST party with the 3 "Bs" - Boey Yang, Ben, Bao Rong. I
So the guys said I'm so talkative.. and how come I can so easily chat up the people there, both handicapped and not. Truth to be told, this was actually the first time I've actually spoken to the clients at HWA... I've never really dealt with people in wheelchairs before... except sometimes in school there's this guy in a wheelchair and I'll help him move out of the classroom or into the study room, that's all.
So anyway, I was probably as apprehensive, or more, than you guys in approaching them! [Did you know that people with high "I" personality (DISC profiling I'm sure you've done before) are also not good in taking rejection?] Yeah, but you see, since I'm your mentor, I could not show it and had to force myself to adjust to the situation, hoping you will then feel a bit more at ease and follow suit! haha. I guess it didn't work much huh. But it's ok, still more sessions to go right. Doesn't mean that the project is "3rd party" then you shy away.. if even I try when I'm also afraid and technically the project is you guys', then you all should also lah, ok?
Hmm so what else.. oh I met some new people of course, both clients and other volunteers... don't you feel that the people there are all like.. different kind of character from general public and similar in character to each other? In terms of you know their mannerism and attitudes... all like no airs and friendly. Quite nice huh.
So I met Divya... who's 19 and her bday is coming soon on 24th Jan! She likes flowers. She speaks very slowly too. She said she is currently working at SPD tagging things and likes working better than studying haha. And Jason, 23, who is hearing impaired... we communicated thru sms. So interesting. Got the sign language card and I'll try to learn but I really have psycho-motor-problems!! Hai.
Eh Boey Yang, what prize did you win? share leh!! How was the programme after I left? And I really admire the guy who could play well even after his accident. They really have like the drive to get on with life and stop moping around. Makes people who whine about breakups and studies or pimples (ha, like me) sound so blah in comparison.
Hope you got some good pictures. maybe you could get a recording of the guy's piano playing and use it in your final presentation ;)
Alright who's got my brolly please return it on fri! 3Bs please post soon hor.
Nightt
haha this is for the benefit of boey yang.
yesterday we chionged down to SMU amidst rain, rain and more rain!
ben was there the earliest, having escaped the rain, he was quite dry. marianne, samantha and i were not so fortunate. we met and headed down, and was promptly drenched by the sky and drowned by the puddles.
we went in for the lecture, and after a while baorong came crashing in. (ok not crashing. just strolling) then lots of slides and talk later, we split up for proposal presentation. it was quite a long and dreary affair, if not for the constructive feedback we got. actually thinking about it our project has quite good potential. and the assembly talks were a very good idea.
then it just dragged on and on forever while my stomach growled, ben kept writing, and natalie just zoned out.
everyone was stoning and spacing out when it came to the later parts and no one really paid attention. hmm. and ben kept calling marianne marianna. =s
we had a short meeting then we all went off. and it was still raining. bleh. i returned home drenched and my shoes were literally flooded. bleh.
oh well. haha. i guess that's all? lazy to update lah lol. lots of documents flying around in the inboxes suddenly.
and i dun have the whole set of documents on what i am supposed to do...
could some kind soul enlighten me on how to enter the portal. =.=
