I can be tough, I can be strong

Next week shall be blocked off to home time. I'm burnt out from going out with people, and it's only been two days. Sometimes I feel like I'm putting up an act when I'm out, to fit in with different people. NO MOREEE.

Two days of watching The Dark Knight Rises consecutively. Two different groups of people. Two different sets of feelings. It's just so obvious who are sincere and who aren't. There are people that I can't tell if they're being sincere in their words or being sarcastic. These are the ones to put away at an arm's length. And then there's the company that make you feel just right at home. Thank you for that.

It's been a period of time where the more I find out about someone, the less I know that person. I guess it's never too late to learn the different faces of people. Time to re-evaluate who are the people I keep close to my heart.

The 10 days in China has really been a service and learning trip. We served. We helped. We learnt. I gained and strengthened friendships that I will always treasure.

Quickie update!

Spent Saturday at TCT doing fundraising. Super awkward maxxed not knowing 90% of the people there and everybody else knowing each other. Had eyes glued to the phone as a result. Slept at 330, woke u pat 6 to go for Sunday fundraising. Oh my shagged maxxed. Rushed home before 3pm to go Ah ma house but didn't go in the end whee. Went for class gathering which was abit awkward for some reason. Rushed to JCube for 930 Men In Black 3 with Brandon, Benjamin, Sylvia and Ze Ling. Super good! So glad I caught it! 5 of us laughed louder than the whole theater combined haha.

Bulgaria's Abandoned Children.

Just finished watching this documentary. Reduced me to a pile of tears and a bundle of hatred for the soulless 'social workers'. I don't think I will ever understand how humans can be so callous. How could you see a child in pain, in complete need of care, of love and yet treat him/her as cattle, and walk away after manhandling them. It is not the lack of stimulation. It is the lack of love that has left the children in this state of despair. Didi still has so much hope to one day see her mom and love for someone who abandoned and condemned her to a life of misery. She says she's happy but always, the lingering shot shows that sadness in her eyes. She knows, her mom isn't coming back for her. But if one day her mom came, she would jump straight back into her arms. That's the problem with hope isn't it, that's the problem with humans. We want what hurts us. Hope is what kills us in the end.  Milen, the boy that never let his heart harden through all...
Songs that I'm addicted to when I'm sad never fail to remind me of those feelings when I listen to them once again after the period is over. They got me over trying times and they'll forever bear the scars.
