It was service learning day yesterday, means no school. And its really stupid cus every school can predict that A levels results will be coming out on that day and why the heck is service learning on this day when j2s are suppose to witness the collection of results of the graduates and CTs to be there with them, but all are either home or out doing cip? So we dont know our results yet. SIANNESS.
Our class went to the Bishan Home for the Intellectually disabled to do gardening and interact with them. I woke up with a splitting headache and didnt really do any gardening cus the sun was blazing hot. So i sat and talk to ms chia in the shade and i think now she knows everything bout my family already.
She actually said: "I dunno whether i should say this or not, but... Do you have a boyfriend?"
HAHA expected. So i said yes lor but not to worry cus if anything is affecting my studies, it is everything but him.
I was quite scared when i first saw the mentally challenged people.. Maybe its just a different atmosphere that i've not gotten used to. But after awhile of muscial chairs, games and songs, i felt much better around them, though my headache was still ARGH. Took panadol from joan. Thanks! (:
Then this guy came to sit beside me. He looked like he's in his 40s.But when i asked him, he said he's 25 this year and 25 next year, and the next next.. Hmm felt quite sad to hear these but i tried to teach him how people grow older from 25 to 26 then so on.. He asked if we will come back to play with him.. And my heart sank. Cus i know i wont come back again. I tried to tell him maybe more people will come next friday to see him play. The convo went on and i felt so happy for who i am and what i have.
I think we all should stop complaining bout the little frustrations we have in life. Because you are never the worse in the world. There're bound to be people worse off. If you have super high degree in your eyes or partially blind, there are people who are blind.
If you have hearing problems, there are people who are deaf. If you think you are stupid, there are people who cant afford to go to school and maximise their potential.
If you think you are poor, there are people who do not even have money for their 3 basic meals a day.
If you think you're fat, there're people who are so obese that they have no money to go for treatment and face lots of criticism.
If you think you are full of health problems, there are people who have worse incurable or untreatable illnesses like cancer.
If you think your house is not big enough, there are people who have no place to live.
If you think you have nasty parents, there are people who do not have parents.
So lets be optimistic and be satisfied with what we have. Do not be greedy, for your demands would be too much, expectations too high, that its impossible to be met.
Alright, so the thing ended at 5plus and we left. June, steph and i rushed to mrt together.
Zac was waiting there for me.
June took the same train as us to somerset while we took to dhoby.
It was suppose to be just zac and i,
going to vivo to watch "Being human" at 7.15pm
then having dinner and walking around.
But plans changed so much.
It was shihui's bdae so they said meet at cathay for a 7.10pm movie.
But they only turned up at 7.40pm.
Two of us became so many of us -
zac, me, shihui, peiwen, mengteck, kenny, tianhwa, shawn, jeremy, vance, keith, randall.
Wilson bluffed shihui that he was still in camp and unable to book out to come celebrate his girlfriend's bdae so we all kept the secret that he was actually gonna make a surprise appearance, from shihui.
We took damn long to decide where to go.
In the end, walked to secret garden, where pei wen booked for the dinner.
But a plate of laksa there costs 30bucks so we changed place.
Went to iluma instead and ate at manhatten's fish market.
I dont like fish!
HAHA!
But its okay i still ate (:
Had super bad headache again and didnt have strength to eat.
Took a migraine panadol from vance but still no use.
So zac fed me abit and i tried to eat abit too.
We were there till 10.40pm!
AND GUESS WHAT~!!
There was this huge sunflower ornament, taller than a human, standing at a corner of the restaurant.
I loved it so muchie!
And i told zac i wanted it. Pluck it for me.
And he said: "Wahhh! Do you know how much i've to pay for plucking that??"
Obviously alot cus its destruction of their propoerty man.
But i still insisted and started whining hahaha!!!
AND THEN YOU KNOW WHAT HE DID??
HE ASKED THE MANAGER HOW MUCH THAT FLOWER COSTS.
The manager kenna stun, said: Erm.. It's actually not for sale...
Zac: Oh but my girlfriend wants it.
Manager: Erm.. *forceful smile*
Zac: Do you have any idea where i can get that?
Manager: Hmm maybe you can try the big stores ar... --> I didnt hear already.
Cus everyone were laughing and i was laughing and covering my face feeling so embarrassed but so touched.. He actually did something so embarrassing for me! HEE!
The part when zac asked where to get it and the manager replied, was really funny!
Gosh!
Then we sort of walked around iluma when the shops are closed already.
I said i wanted to go back already and asked if vance wanna share cab back since he lives at sengkang and its on the way for the driver after my place.
He said okay and i had to accidentally blurt out that we are leaving before wilson comes..
Infront of shihui.
OMG.
All the efforts of everyone trying to keep it from her and i went to say it!
I felt so bad i kept apologising to peiwen! ))):
Then gathered outside iluma where the people who had to smoke, smoked.
Then i left with vance.
Caught a cab at 11.10pm outside iluma (:
Its a happy happy day (:
Zac's the best!
Thats jeremy blocking me!
