yvip' 07

alright? ok!!!!!
ok? alright!!!!!

ok.. so everyone is warmed up to sing the yvip song eh.. .....for this is how.. we sang our song.. sing it bright and sing it strong.. for though we're young, we stand up tall, heart to heart, we'll never fall.. ...
dunch u think this chorus is great? haha.. it encompasses every freaking thing that we had felt and is currently practising in our daily life now. =D
YVIP is that kinda camp. It's kinda life changing to me. From a person that is blur and in a world of his own, to become someone that is more sensitive and more appreciative of the world, a really big change yea. haha.. i kinda see things differently. think everyone YLF feels this way eh =D

YVIP'07 was a resounding success! haha..
the participants transformed frm ultra antisocial cool-headed straight ppl to become more sensitive and hot blooded volunteers! thats great eh.. =P give everybody a rounddddd of applause. =D

well.. the highlight of the camp fer me was the disability challenge, haha. think alvin must had felt strongly for my opinion here.. haha.. we had fun, but more importantly, we learned through practical experiencing the difficulties faced by the disabled when they use the public transport systems, when they eat, when they are looked at as ''weird''. i believe everyone benefited from this experience and it will most likely live within you for life. =)

oh yes.. down to attachment! attachment is a period of time where the newly 'graduated' volunteers go to real life environment to do Vw(volunteer work), under real life circumstances and really applying whatever they are garnered in their arsenal in the past 4 days 3 nights to better the life of the beneficiaries.
the first day i was there, with everyone else except renuka who was busy working.
i guess for most of them, it was an eye opener. well.. wat's next aft opening ur eyes? to locate what a volunteer instinctively recognize, to try and make the first contact with the clients. i believe fer most of them, it was a cold start, but things started to warmed up isn't it? i mean. its the same for any people relationship(pr) ie. when u see ur new classmates in sch, its the same, we usually start off cold. =D so in this light, i will like everyone to hopefully rem that these clients are though id, but still humans +D juz like u and me. so yea. we went along well, and the staff there were really strict when it comes to discipline and getting a point across to the clients. ha.. but that is for a good reason. i mean.. they are id, and yea, they behave sth along the line like children, so if we use a more assertive feel when trying to get a pt across, it believe it will be more effective. look at the bright side, the client will benefit from whatever we are doing, and thats what the staff is doing, and what i believe we are doing too, to better the standard of living(as in happiness) of the clients. (~~ take note of the famous vision of yvip, passion of the heart, power of the mind.~~)

the day ended and yea.. i guess everyone is tired.. haha.. same here. ha.. i worked on tues and on the coming thrus too.. haha.. so yea.. i hope everyone enjoy their stay in the home, treasure these last few days with the clients as i dunno wat will happen aft tt, u guys might be busy and totally forget about the home and stuff.. but my pt is simply, to enjoy and cherish the time while u have in the home with the clients and ur buddies in our team, YLF =P

will post the summary of wat u guys think of on the next blog entry + some pictures and videos i took at say 10 pm? haha.. cause i still haven't eaten dinner yet. ha..

ardieous!
