dementia home
went to a dementia home in singapore. the home looks like a chalet. nice environment. they have about 210 patients who have dementia. some of them look fine and healthy, some were bed bound. some of them have relatives who would faithfully visit them every other day, while some others never have any visitors. i noticed that there were some of them holding toy babies. the social worker there said that they would treat the baby as if it was real. when the baby drops onto the floor, they would be very worried. and one of the lady with the toy baby said to the social worker, "wow, this baby of mine is really good. doesn't cry and doesn't have to eat". the social worker said that having a baby with them keeps them occupied and they feel that they have someone to care for. i didn't get a chance to talk to any of the patients. i wanted to, but there was no time. the most amazing thing is that the chariman (who is the one who set up the dementia home) is a lady who is 89 years old. and she comes in to work almost every other day. she is still healthy and very well! a can't help but wonder how the patients feel about being so called 'locked' up in the home. i know the home cares alot for them, but somehow, they do not have the freedom that they used to have. all because of their sickness. dementia. my grandfather has dementia. i wonder what will happen to him in the future.

BE CAREFUL
DON'T LEAVE YOUR HANDPHONE LYING AROUND! i was studying at TBP while waiting for a meeting with some friends. there were 3 JC girls studying on the table next to me. suddenly, one girl realised that her phone was missing. so she called her number and her phone was off. definitely it was stolen. apparently, there was an uncle sitting at the table i was then sitting at. he was reading a newspaper and he was holding it up. the girls were quite sure that it was that uncle who stole it.... can you believe it? he stole the phone right under their nose! the girls did not even leave the table. they were there all along! terrible man.... KEEP YOUR PHONES IN YOUR BAG. it's safer in there. putting the phone on the table right in front of you isn't that safe actually.

term break
sighs. term break is here. this means that mid term exams are drawing near. but this term break isn't really a break though. my 4 days are packed with things. have to go on my social work visits, i have something on every single night, and i'm taking this opportunity to meet up with students. how am i going to study for my mid term papers? it is possible. it just takes discipline and effort to make time to study. sher, you better stop slacking. study hard! don't regret.

destiny
a song i learnt in guitar course at believer's music-destinychorus:
i have a destiny i know i shall fulfill
i have a destiny in that city on a hill
i have a destiny
it's not an empty wish
for i know i was born for such a time as this
v1:
long before the ages You predestined me
to walk in all the ways You have prepared for me
You've given me a part to play in history
to help prepare the bride for eternity
v2:
i did not choose You, but You have chosen me
appointed me for bearing fruit abundantly
i know You will complete the work begun in me
by the power of Your Spirit working mightily

Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is a special occasion for couples. saying 'i love you' is simple. but what does love mean? here's what the Bible says about love..."Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." 1 Corinthians 13:4-8

too quick to jugde
i realise that i am a person who is quick to judge others. i am quite sceptic. it could be due to an attitude that i am better than the person. but who am i to judge? for only God is the righteous judge. Lord, help me not to be so judgmental. help me to love people the way You do.

the worst day in school
today was really the worst day in school. i stoned through the entire econs lecture. i was very sleepy and couldn't concentrate. after that lecture, i had to stone around for one hour before my next tutorial. that tutorial was a math make up tutorial because of the tutorial missed during CNY break. so it wasn't my tutor who taught. it was this lady teacher. i tell you, haiz. it was horrible. i cannot stand teachers who cannot teach. she couldn't even explain herself properly and she was speaking so softly. i didn't get a single thing she was saying. total waste of my time. after that i rushed to my econs tutorial. we have a mini quiz every tutorial (the quiz question is one of those from the tutorial). this time, i did my tutorial carefully and it was not last minute work. i started doing the quiz. guess what? mental block! i just forgot how to do it. that was a horrible feeling. i ended up doing less than 20% of that simple question. once we handed it up, she went through the answers. the answers that i found out when i did it at home was all correct. my whole tutorial of 5 questions, all correct! amazing. but sighs, for that mini quiz, i just flung it. it's counted as part of CA!!! haiz. i knew how to do it, but i just couldn't reproduce my answers during the quiz. sighs. i was too sad to attend my next make up tutorial after that. so i went home. will attend the make up on fri. God is teaching me a lesson, not to be too proud, thinking that just by doing my tutorial at home is enough. i should have studied the questions more thoroughly. lesson learnt. i'll study harder for my next quiz.
