My life's questions...
All these while, ive been wondering what do i want to be when i grow up. What am i supposed to do in my life? What is it that I am supposed to accomplish in life? I found the answers to some of them. One thing i want to do in the future is to Help the needy. I want to make a change in peoples lives, to turn it better and livelier. To help them realise that there is much more in life that you can ever imagine. God opened up my eyes to new opportunities like VGC (Volunteer Guitar Connection) and MINDS (Movement for the Intellectually Disabled of Singapore). Ever since I joined VGC, my heart opened up and i know that my interest is to help people. Before i joined this beneficiary, i had difficulties, always thinking i am a burden to someone. Sometimes i feel so useless, not knowing how to repay great kindness. I feel so utterly useless. Now at least i am able to express myself through music and passion to help these people realise that they are not alone and we are there to help them. I realise, that through making those kids and people smile is enough to make me smile too. Their smile is the remedy to the loneliness in my heart, that always feel that something is missing. I feel fortunate, because through helping in this beneficiaries, they are able to help me realise what am i supposed to do in my life. Their smile and laughter is the best thing i can ever get from them in return. Of course it is hard work, but hey (: i am happy.
I was sick today actually, but i still went down with my group to do our CIP with the MINDS volunteers. We went down to Queenstown Sports Complex to join them in their swimming therapy.
The 5 of us are able to feel their suffering. All those anger and fear can be felt when you hold them. But for some reason, they are happy. Smiles and laughters spread throughout the swimming pool.
They love the company and are able to cope with life even though they are disabled. Some of them are even working. To think that people of their intellectual disability is able to cope with life's harsh demands makes me motivated to help them even more. I Love to see them smile and have fun with all of us. We were treated well and they were so friendly. I guess, this is an opportunity that i wont forget even though my health deteriorated further. haha. :)
Their will to live on and achieve something in life gives me Strength.
:')
