Hi!

Looks like we do have a response to your article Lydea...

I got a call from Cynthia from DIRC (Disability Information and Referral Centre). MCYS had called her and asked her to invite you to be their Resource Rep (or something like that...sorry forgot the name...). Anyways, what they would like you to do is to give talks in schools about sharing your volunteering experience interacting with the disabled. This is really an expected offer! This shows that they were pretty impressed with your article! How? You interested?

Just received this email from the volunteer coordinator at SCAS. Really did not expect it. All I did was give my 2 cents worth and now MCYS wants me to be a Resource Rep? Sounds like an awful lot of work! Ha. But since I am free these days, why not? Hopefully they will give me an allowance if I am supposed to travel around Singapore, transport is so expensive~ Or better still, a salary! I wish. They probably want free labour. =P However, since now I have an excuse to air my views, I should not waste it right? Perhaps, I might even meet someone who is willing to sponsor my studies!

Im getting a little too optimistic, and gearing off tangent, but seriously, I do not think I am doing or have done anything noble. To put it plainly, I am volunteering because I cannot think of a better way to spend my time. I mean, taking up a new hobby or taking up a course is expensive and well, you all know I am very careful with my money, especially now that I am supporting myself. Lazing around at home will cause love handles to attach themselves to me. I probably should not be so honest when I give the talks, before I end up giving students the wrong idea about volunteering. Horrors!
