Without a script.

moments like these feel really awesome. we went over to gold this afternoon expecting a simple interview with Pn J and the kids just to get feedback on how sife has impacted them so far. who knew it would turn out to be so overwhelming because everything they said was so heartfelt. no interview questions prepared beforehand, no script provided and everything was just spontaneous. Pn J herself, kasim's father and aunty moi went on for a good 9 minutes giving their feedback.

it was really like some sort of moment of realisation. that so far on our side, we've been so busy getting members to be committed to the project, to come together and work the stock take out over three consecutive weekends, to get the costing for muffins sorted out, source for suppliers, get feedback and more feedback on how to improve on the muffins, and to convince people to take up the muffins from gold. and in the midst of all those busy stressful moments trying to rush assignments and take care of the project at the same time, there were times i asked myself if i was really doing the right thing. shouldn't i be giving my all to studies. the interview session today seemed to have answered all the doubts i had.

and the kids (well, not really kids anymore) at the centre are just too adorbz. they way they so naively believe in everything you tell them makes me feel like sharing my brain with them. if only a brain that's being cut into half would grow back like a lizard's tail. ohhh eeew bad example. but yeah, how would their parents feel when they see other kids growing and learning day by day? them special kids being special requires so much extra effort from the parents to take care of them, to protect them from the harsh harsh world, and to hope that one day they will be able to stand on their own even after they're gone. 

to be such a lucky girl, i feel obliged to love this life and everything around me even more!
