好久不见！Before you get any wild ideas that this post is about 5566's newest CNY-sound-a-like song, be rest assured I have long retired from my career as their fan, but pardon the pun.

Haven't felt the urge to blog lately, mainly because my life is so monotonous, there is nothing much to blog about. But I guess it is time I update you with the happenings of my life.

I just had a 5hr marathon of Kbox. Doubt I will ever step foot into another karaoke room for at least a month. I love singing, but I can't remember the last time I sang for 5 hours non-stop. Wait, I dun think I ever did.

Anyway, I have been spending my time volunteering at Rainbow centre, working with 3 yr old kids with Down's syndrome, as well as at the Cerebral palsy centre. When I am not volunteering, I give tuition to support the ever increasing transportation fees and help plan a carolling cum evangelistic event, which would include 1500 carollers.

One of my friends called me noble, for wanting to help kids less fortunate than myself, and volunteering my time with them. However, I feel that I might need these kids more than they need me. Spending time to get to know them, has taught me to appreciate many things in life I would otherwise take for granted. Like the fact that I was born healthy, developed at the correct pace, and never ever recalled a time I had trouble eating. When I compare myself with them, I see how blessed I am. If one does not feel thankful for life, one can become a cold, heartless and ungrateful person. I know how close I am to being that kind of person and there are times when I catch myself grumbling too often, but I am glad that God gave me the chance to remember how much He has blessed me.

The unfairness of it all may strike some people, in that why there are children born with cerebral palsy, completely reliant on others for simple tasks such as dressing or eating, for the rest of their life, never being able to move freely without a wheelchair. I believe God loves all His children, and He takes care of each and everyone of them, just like He makes sure the sparrows do not go hungry and clothes the flowers in the field. There are many things about God that we will not understand, we may at times doubt Him, but it is necessary to trust Him, for He alone is worthy. He is the Alpha and Omega, and will never change. In a world, where change is rapid, we may find it difficult to even trust ourselves, but God is always the same and we can take comfort in that knowledge.
