Dear friends,
I'm sure you have heard of the disaster that have hit various countries.
We have been so fortunate to be safe and well with our friends and family. The festive period should be a time of sweet reunion with our loved ones. Instead, 'babies were torn away', and 'graves dug with bare hands'. This is no time for you or me to sit around and feel helpless. I think one report put it best: "If within three to four days relief does not arrive, there will be a starvation disaster that will cause mass deaths."
We may not be able to do much, but lets help in any small ways we can to make this easier for our friends in the affected area.
I have included some means of giving donations, various collection point and relief programs. I urge all of you to help in any small ways we can. This festive period, instead of buying gifts and holding parties, donate the money to charities, help out at collection centers, and spring clean, give away your old clothes. This will make your holidays so much more meaningful.
Thank you.

Of Yahoo, interviews, and Christmas.
Wow, i have just got a temp job at yahoo singapore. I'll be there like 3 weeks. It's a great opportunity to learn, plus i can tell people that i have worked in yahoo before, how cool is that!
Just went for an interview at NEA. It sounds challenging, low-paying, and having to deal with people shouting at u everyday. I love it. What a great opportunity to find out what sort of person i'm. A chance to test myself.
On top of this, an IT company submitted my resume to MOE for the position of a teacher assitant. We'll just have to see how it goes.
On Christmas, me, shuiling, eugene, sheewee, dennis, went to adeline home for a gathering. We all had a great time. I love good food and i love even better, good friends.
A Merry Christmas to all. And to all, a blessed life.

Youths Religion Progress Seminar 2004
I went to the Youth/Regligion/Progress Seminar 2004 by Darul Arqam Singapore today. It's held in the Muslim Convert's Association of Singapore.
Such kindness, that can be felt in the eyes of the people there. I came back with this understanding. Islam is a great, peace-loving religion. And it was stressed today that Islam, like all great religion should be a thinking religion; rather than one that is too fix on ritue and form.
My lesson today seems to be: Go out there, see how big the world is. See what you can do. Reflex, Reflex, Reflex.
Met a guy named suman today. He's a social worker from India who have work with poverty all over the world. Just a small dark man. But he speaks with a fire in his eyes.
I am humbled.

No to casino in Singapore
The casino issue have been the talk of the town lately. I truly believes that it is a bad idea. People are arguing that gamblers will gamble in any case, legal or not; And people are already spending so much money in overseas and underground casinos that we might as well legalise it. But it is PRECISELY because people are already gamblering and losing money that we should NOT open a casino. Encouraging gamblering is against everything we have strive to achieve. The consequences will effect Singapore for generations to come. I do not see a casino in my vision of a great nation. In the end, playing against a casinos, the singapore people will always loss.
I urge all of you, please go to this web site and petition againsts having a casino: http://www.facts.com.sg

VSA Camp'04
Wow. Back from VSA Camp'04, organised by Very Special Arts Singapore. The camp was held in NYP this year. Funny how my old school feel so much nicer and human now i'm not studying there.
It was really a last minute decision. Came to know of this program only the night before, and never cross my mind to take part. Went nyp for a swim and dropped by to say hi. Surprise, surprise, saw vincent. Who would have thought so. Turned out he's a rather regular volunteer. Wrestled with myself for 5 minutes and decided there and then to take part. Got my stuff, borrowed 20 bucks from mom and is back in 2 hours.
It really felt like looking down a misty cliff and deciding 'what the heck' and jump; free-falling into the unknown depth, not knowing where the bottom is.
Scare. Oh yes i was. I didn't know what to expect. Doubt is not knowing whereter you such be doing something and whereter you can do something. Gary and Gek kook didn't help with tales of Guan hua last year. But hey, they are back again this year. And the first night i went to bed with the thought: 'hey, if they can do it, why can't you?'
First day: Guan Hua, Shiaw Lun, Fern, Jessica, Li Qing, Wei Neng, Zhen Yuan; how can i ever forget them. We had dancing and artwork lessons together. One day felt so long, and its so tiring. Had to call Guan Hua's mom(what did i expect?). Ask me again, I felt i had a great day. A friend sms me how am i. I replied: i'm in hell, surrounded by angels.
That night, for the first time in my life, i check on children to see that thy are sleeping properly. When shiaw lun woke up, i pat him back to sleep; zeng yuan have a habit of moving his feet; wei neng slept well; and at 3.04am i found guan hua's sleeping bag empty, thanks god he's not too far away. I wanted to put his sleeping bag on him, but i was scare of waking him up. The last thing i need at 3 in the morning is a awaken guan hua.
And the volunteers didn't get much sleep either. I feel i cheated. Because i slept so much. There are people who stay up just so the kids don't wonder off, and bring them to the toilet. And gek kook, among others stayed up so late staring at their kids.
It's my belief that volunteering, especially with special children, attracts the best sort of people. Observed that there is more girls volunteers that guys. I noticed that the same is true in other volunteer circle too. mmmh...maybe brahm is right. More girls go to heaven. Btw, girls should take a hint. If they know a guy who volunteers, he'll probably be a caring boyfriend, and a great husband.
Day 2: Outing day. I've been tasked with guan hua. Decided to try out some of those methods i read about in managing children. When he's in one of his tantrum and took someone elses handphone, i use the 'mother' card. I was surprise at the effect. And I felt bad. It felt unfair. I can tell he love his mother, and by that, i also say that his mother love him. Because when you love someone, it goes both way. Many a time when he and i was alone, and i'm lecturing him, my eyes will water up, i think he felt it too.
The outing was to Singapore museum and a boat ride on the Singapore river. Had to wash guan hua pants before the outing, because he shitted in them. I remember nothing of the museum, and that's saying something.
That night we neng and zeng yuan didn't sleep much. I sort of wish shiaw lun will wake up too. I wan to pat him to sleep. When someone is so dependent on you. What else can you do but love as a father his child?
Last day: Performent day. Noticed that we have probably overfed shiaw lun. He's starting to look like a care bear. The volunteers are really trying to get our act together for the big day. I'm not too worried. What the children want is applause. What the parents want is to see their children on stage. Whatever happens up there. The applause is going to be thunderous. The day goes on like the last 2. The usual tantrums, the disappearing act,'oh great, now what?' scenarios, basically the volunteers solving little crisis.
I'm almost sad to let my children go back to their parents. They, even the difficult ones, are so much more forgiving that anyone i know, even children. What gentle souls.
I have gain so much from this short experience. And I encourage everyone to volunteer. Open up your heart. Collect karma points. Whatever. Jump.
How do you love someone? Just accept them.

Pokemon...again
Well, energy level hit an all-time low. Again. After the short stint at Japan Airline,(curse our efficiency), i am once again in need of a job. The maths training thing didn't work out.
In the mean time, i seem to have fallen under the pokemon spell AGAIN. Dowloaded the GBA rom- FireRed, LeafGreen; and began playing 2 days ago. Been sleeping at 3am in the morning these few nights,
and that's saying a lot. I can now proudly say that i have played almost all versions of pokemon for gameboy series. Ok, maybe proud is a strong word...
Lots to do during the day too. Since i'm too broke to go ANYWHERE, i've been addressing out this year chirstmas cards. Lucky I brought them and the stamps when i still have a little cash. Must call some friends to find out their address.
This weekend on the 4th and 5th of December, that's a Disability Awareness Programme going on at Expo from 10.30am to 9pm. I'm volunteering. See you there.
