Work has officially began for me. I am currently attached to this organisation known as, Lions Befrienders Association Singapore. You might be wondering what is this organisation about. I will give you a brief description of this organisation.

Lions Befrienders(LB) is a welfare organisation that cares for and assists the elderly in coping with the demands of daily living.

I am situated in 1 of the centre located at Mei Ling Street. This is a place where you say it's homely. You can picture it as a 1 big family. You can see the sincerity and feel the warmth from volunteers, residents and staffs. Oh, volunteers and residents are mostly aged 50yrs and above. Can you believe it if I say they are as active as the youths? I wouldn't have believed it till I see it for my own.

This is the last day for my first week. Though there is a lot of administrative work to do in future which I have zero passion in, still this is not a 100% desk bound job. There are outings and excursion, home visiting and many other activities which I would be engaging in.

Every Thurs, there is Karaoke session which serves as an entertainment when I am frustrated and at the urge of pulling out all my hairs. Besides that, there is movie screening as well. On every other weekdays, there are other activities going on too. In this case, my hairs are saved from misery.

Having visited a couple of the elderly, it is really heartbreaking and I begin to ask myself what can I do for them? Am I being too emotional and taking things too personal? Or even to the extend on asking myself if this is the right place/job for me.

Nevertheless, it indeed caused great impact on me mentally, physically as well as my attitude and emotions.

Praise the Lord,

HI LOVES~

It has been a while since our meet up/sharing. I would like to share this ridiculous dream I had.

This is the dream I had on Monday 10 Aug 2009:

I walked down the aisle in a well decorated and romantic place without wedding gown. On me was a purple esprit T-shirt and shorts. I was not smiling like how all other brides will. My heart was so heavy.

Then, my hand was then passed to my husband-to-be. Still I was not smiling brightly. Everything seems to be unclear and the next thing I know was I was called on stage. It was games time and I stood at the side of the stage looking at how my husband-to-be enjoyed himself. I remembered the game was made in a way that ladies and gentlemen had to overcome different obstacles. Still I am still with my heavy heart.

Everything seems unclear again. The next thing I knew was only 1 of my friend, Weili attended. She told me some were not free, some overslept thus unable to make it. I also asked her about her partner, and she said her partner was not invited. My heart began to sink deeper.

And I remember this is what I said to her: " Li, I don't know if I have made a right choice. Shall I run-away from here?" And I know Weili shook me vigorously. I can't remember what she said exactly but I knew was asking me to erase my thoughts.

*RING~!!!!!!!!*

I was awaken by the ringing of my house phone. Too bad no conclusion for this dream. =( When I woke up, I had this sudden enlightenment in me; "Oh no! I'm 20! Getting old day by day... People are getting married in their twenties! Isn't it time my turn in a few years down the road?"

I have no idea why I have this kinda fear of marriage in me. Is it due to I have not met my Mr.Right? Or cause I do not want to get married? To me, I believe that I do not want to get married.

Marriage is like being tied down by a certificate, and soon parents, in-laws, relatives, friends will begin to hurry you to get a child. Terrible! I hate KIDS! I rather have dogs than kids!

To conclude, marriage is the key to a nightmare. Dating is the key to problems and headaches. Single is the key to freedom and peace.

Of course, this applies to me and might not apply to you. =)

Loves and kisses,
Vone
