met haitun in the aftn at SGH to do some volunteerwork.its our 1st time there.and we were like the youngest can.mostly all old Christian aunties.lol.we basically went around the wards and entertained the patients, esp those who have noone to visit them.we gave them crafts and taught them how to make the crafts.ok.more like the aunties taught them since we were new and didnt noe how to make.i guess we were able to relate to the younger patients better.like those of our age.most of them are in there 4 like some serious illness.so quite poor thing la. theres this girl,nurfazilla or smtg liddat.she has multiple schlerosis which means a disease tt affects the nerves and paralyses part of the body. in her case, she cant walk.After chatting with her 4 awhile,we realized she only got the disease like in 2005 and she was previously an active athlete. she was in siglap sec girls soccer team.apparently quite zai one.got win bronze,gold in nationals tt kind.its really quite sad becoz she say she will nv be able to play like tt in this state. at most only limp around.i think its the feeling of being appreciated really gives a sense of satisfaction to the volunteers.although there are sum patients who wave u away, but when u get patients who appreciate wad u r doin, u feel great.hopefully,we can volunteer more in future.=) i really want to seek a career in the healthsciences...haha.haitun says she wanna do occupational therapy or smtg to tt effect.hurhur.lets see.later see blood u scream or smtg.kidding la. anw, had a great time wif u today.oh,the desserts at SGH kopitiam are great! they even have stuff like bananaboat and other icecreams.yummy...=)))) okay,i gotta go bathe now.tata.
