Relentlessly Superior.

the response for our Food from the Heart campaign is nothing short of pleasant, surprising and heart-warming. honestly, i didn't expect it to be much of a success because of the assumption that students can't really be bothered with such a thing (hey don't blame me blame the society that loves to stereotype) but our dear Saints have clearly proven me wrong. Saints do care about such projects and they do care about others, especially the needy ones. we don't even need a booth; people keep passing us foodstuff in between lessons, along the corridoor, whenever they get the chance to. as cliche as this may sound it really feels good to be contributing to the society. i guess the most important lesson learnt for me would be to never undermine the sincerity and willingness of fellow students when it comes to doing their part for the community. we owe the college a humongous thanks for making our campaign a tremendous success.

okay i'm sending the above in as reflection haha. Service Learning ahh. if you don't already know our college loves having this sort of outside curriculum thing going on which some complained to be the reason why we are not producing results as marvelous as the top 5 JCs and also why we are still ranked 6th, 7th or 8th among all the 16 JCs. haha i have nothing to say to that but i can't completely disagree. no prizes for guessing why. but if it had not been because of my huge committment towards CCA i have to say i am actually someone who loves to organise humanitarian projects like doing overseas CIP or organise a carnival or fashion show in the name of charity (the latter was an idea i initially proposed for Service Learning before we finally decided on Food for the Heart). ah perhaps the side of me no one ever got to know about? haha. remember the fund raising thing some students from our batch organised at the end of last year? i had wanted to do something so similar but i didn't have the backing of other interested parties; well none of my friends were interested, and besides we were busy with CCA, as usual. but oh well. it would definitely look good on my graduation certificate wouldn't it haha though that's not what i was after :P

vibrance and joy is sipping away faster than i had expected and now i feel myself sinking, having nothing but a thin piece of thread to hang on to. the fear of it snapping will not subside as the will to stay on slides merrily down. hear me lament while i hear myself scream amidst the deafening silence, voice subdued; unheard.
