AWAKENING
I spent the whole of my first week of the school holidays serving my TWA (Teacher's Work Attachment). Just a short 4 days (since Thurs was Vesak day) but it was enough for me to gain much from the experience.
I was attached to NUS museum, which I never knew of its existence despite my three years studying there but am very glad of the discovery, together with Siti Sarah from Greenwood Pri.
Colleagues for a week- Siti Sarah and me!
One very heartwarming experience was interacting with the 3 groups of IMH residents who came to visit the museum. Seeing them, brought about this deep sense of gratitude and thanks to HIM from granting me this strength and sanity to overcome all the challenges in life so far. To HIM I shall reserve my faith.
And just yesterday, I joined Mdm Jawiah and a few of her pupils to do some volunteer work at YMCA. We did tile paintings with the Y-stars members who are basically people who suffers from Down Syndrome. And yet again, it triggered a lot of self-reflection, I'm sure for the pupils too.
Me and Aaron... He's a fan of Aaron Kwok, for the very obvious reason.
Khairulsham and Sufiyan showing off their talents.
What more do I need to complain about? I've been granted with many luxuries in life. I shall not compare myself with those who are more fortunate for then all will never be enough. Indeed everyone has been promised their share of sweetness and bitterness...
Thank you Allah for all that I've become.
