somehow, i have given people the idea that im just a stupid girl who shops all day and night (think livejournal. haha) and that other than gossiping, partying (occasionally), drinking (occasionally), watching tv and bumming around, my life is practically stripped to nothing. see, i dont even exercise anymore. haha.

so, imagine their horror/surprise/wtf reaction when they learned that im actually doing social work without any monetary benefits (i hate it when people keep referring to it as cip). there are people coming up to me telling me how impressed they are (imagine my surprise too) and there are also people who decided they should do the same thing (but probably still not taking action).

well, who cares?

point is, what really matters to me is not how people have seen me in a brand new light or whats not but the sense of fulfillment i have gotten. see, i have always wanted to do this. i sourced for information, met the whos who, went for interview, probably screening (but i skipped it) and finally, my effort has paid off and im really proud of myself for not giving up despite those rejections and no-replies. well, i do tell people that im doing social work but to me, its really as simple as taking out a little of your time on certain days to make a difference to someone's day. its not as troublesome as people think it is and you dont need to have that big a heart to fork out that few hours (you will probably waste it on sleeping, watching online streaming and shopping anyway).

therefore, on top of the satisfaction that im finally doing something meaningful and giving back to the society, im also very happy that i might have inspired a few friends around me to do the same thing too (karmakarmakarma)! last but not least, i would like to use this as a platform to urge you readers to spread a little love!
