had cg at tampines today..hehe. we ate at burger king together and wrote cards of encouragement to the person on the left and right of us 'cos exams are coming and as the bible say in proverbs - 'he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed'. yeah well:) got something from jiali which quite surprised me. haha.
anyway, we went down an aged home which i can't remember the name of... just remembered that it's at 130 hougang ave 1 and was terribly hard to find. hahaa. felt strange there 'cos we didn't really know what to do..the brothers and sisters started to disperse around to talk to the old folks and i did the same. i never really know how to interact with them 'cos i don't have grandparents. some old folks were quite willing to chat, some not so willing, some wanted to chat but i couldn't understand them...gwen kept singing songs to fill up the silence gap and song dedications from the old folks were flying around. i wish we could do something more than just entertaining them like this.. they need company which we can't provide in just an hour or so. nevertheless, hope some of them enjoyed the company:)
it's doing cip that made me consider the path of a social worker or a lifetime volunteer... the down syndrome kids, the people in the one room flats, the elderly in aged homes and hospitals... i don't want to just touch-and-go:P
yet i know that my strength is not in there. it's not completely my heart's desire to go to that path. hmm. dunno. i process better and express better when i talk everything out. and sometimes what i speak surprises myself even.
i guess that's why i was 'aaron' and jitsy was 'moses' hahahaha! right jitsy?
anyway after the trip to the aged home, going home was quite confusing 'cos everyone seemed to be unsure of how to get to anywhere. was following the west sisters when i realised that they were going to take a bus. i figured that if i kept walking in the same direction, i'll reach kovan sometime or another 'cos when i jumped onto dancing's car last time, the car passed by that area before, so i roughly knew the general direction of where kovan mrt is, just that i don't know how far it is. kept walking and walking till i reached an area which looked where jean lived. hahaha. so i continued walking. my target was a macs after turning left at a junction 'cos i remembered it from last time. was starting to doubt if where i was walking to was correct 'cos it took a long time to reach that macs but eventually, i reached my target. hahahaha:D yeah!
when i was walking alone to kovan mrt station, i couldn't help being acutely aware of one of my weaknesses.. pastor jeff is right. it's only through our various weaknesses that we can truly see how much we need God. His mercy, His grace and His providence.
