Famine camp somewhat changed my thinking of my present life, something to be glad about. Though it's not a dramatic change but I think I've learnt to be satisfied with the things I have. I never thought I was about to fast for 30hours straight, I never knew how it felt to be in poverty, how dirty they can get. It was really a great experience and I never regret not going even though it was tough and time consuming.

I CAN, I WILL

MAKE A DIFFERENCE :D





Crushing newspapers, piles and piles of them, and filling about half the room with them, making it somewhat like a garbage dump for the campers to search for things, as though they were hunting for treasure in third world country. Black and dirty hands and legs, sweaty shirt...but it's fun. I have never felt so dirty in my life before, and tired. Even the second day, there was newspaper collection around Tampines,but I'm glad my lorry driver and helper were nice people. They helped us, brought laughter to us and bought drinks for us. :D

Ohoh, and Utt was there too, for some MTV reporting or something. He's cute :D

Anyway, after listening to the true life story of a 8years old boy with AIDS, it really touched my life. Being asked whether he was happy with his life, he said "I'm happy!" And this puts thousands/millions of thoughts running through my mind. If he is happy with his life, why aren't I? If he can go through such a painful and poor life, what makes someone healthy and living in a first world country dissatisfied/grumble?



But still, I need a breakthrough in my life, I need the burning desire and passion for You once again, just like how it used to be 5 years ago.

The way to love anything is to realize that it might be lost.
