Back!!!

Back home at last! Rotaract FOC 2005 ~~~ FEEL... has been surprisingly fun. Haha.... i think that we had more fun than the participants themselves. Despite the initial fustrations and draggy planning process, in the end it all turns out well. Better than expected.... haa!

Was rather surprised with the turn out. It was surprisingly good. The group size was not too large and not too small. It was just nice.

On the first day we had beach games at desaru followed by a nights stay at the resort there. It was heavily infested with mosquitoes!!!! I was bitten upside down, inside out. Even now i still feel itchy on certain parts of my body. Sigh.....

<--- pic of our resort. A nice little chalet with lotsa mosquitos :P




The 2nd day was spent at Cheshire home Johor. Was rather impressed since the home looked very new. But Junie mentioned that we shouldn't only let our sympaties flow and be helpful only when we see the home looking rundown and poor. This shld be the bare minimum any human being deserves. Well, that made mi actually feel quite ashamed of thinking that they looked rich why still need help???? Well... welfare homes always need help because they are not recieving any financial help or backing from the government or any organisation and must source for funds on their own. The reason why Cheshire looked quite rich ( have own ambulance and physio gym) is because they sells handicrafts, and for the one at Johor, they build a dorm and rent it out to travellers for revenue. They make good use of their funds to make more funds. Business minded right? Yep. I think its good in a way that they are rather self sufficient. But they are still need alot of help in terms of manpower and money. Cause they are not so well known or publicised as NKF :P

I must say that after 1 year, i am still not used to interacting with the residents there. Some of them are mentally disabled and they are so wierd that i am rather uncomfortable at times with them. But they are pretty harmless and they do appreciate our company. Sometimes, they jus want someone to talk to and listen. Just so little from us means so much to them. Touched................. This camp has also made mi realised that some people really have a heart of gold and can so sincerely and lovingly interact and go all out to make the residents happyl. They feed them and take them out for walks early in the morning. Wow.... saints....!!! I really admire them :)
