#12 - 3rd Visit to Boy's home.

Dear Diary,

Today I went to boy's home again to visit my Boy Q, I started the session at 730pm to 830pm. That's means I finally have an hour of conversation with my boy. We made a huge improvement of relationship! *CLAPS* I remembered during my previous visit, I'm discouraged that he told me that he will vanished when he release on July'2013 and he did not tell me about his background. Of course, I've my way to find out his background without him telling me. But, I really hope that he trust me and tell me personally which thank god for his help, he told me all today. And last visit, he told me loads of lies which I'm aware of, but I refused to burst his bubble, hope he will be honest with me next time. 感恩。

One of the touching conversation with him...

Him: 你相信我吗？

Me: 只要你说的，我就会相信你。

Him: 我很感动。

Finally we exchanged numbers, hope our relationships will be better for at least a year.

May god bless him.

欣欣.

#11 - Uncoming Volunteering! PHF

Dear Diary,

Tonight I'm going to Boy's home and visit my boy, looking very excited now. Wonder if he feels the same way too. Again, Mentor J informed that she can't make it for tonight session with boy B. Great, first appointment was very late, second appointment said she's in HUGE jam and this appointment says she can't make it. It's really my luck to mentors with two boys B & Q. Too bad, some people are just irresponsible. I can't really have some private talking with my boy. :(

Alright, Project Happy Feet Slipper Race 2013 is here again! And, I've already signed up together with my friends - Amy & Huiyin. It'll be damn fun volunteering together on the 31 August 2013 at East Coast Park. Looking damn forward! ^^

Will update more on my 3rd visit to the boy's home on my next post.

Stay tuned! :)

#9 - 2nd Visit to Boy's home.

Dear Diary,

On tuesday 11th June 2013, we supposed to have all the mentors gathered together to have a nice wonderful dinner treat from our organizations at vivo city. We cabbed and reached there, however last min cancelled because too many people dropped out for that day's dinner. Very very disappointing, but it's alright. :)

Yesterday went to visit my boy again for the second time, due to my mentor partner couldn't make it, I actually mentor 2 boys yesterday. *CLAPS*. Mentor J said that she's trying her best to drive down, however due to massive jam yesterday at expressways, she was very late and couldn't make it for this mentorships, as the boys need to go back to their rooms at 830am sharp. See the poor boy B disappointed face and comments, "It's okay, I can understand that no much people like you will be that kind hearted, came even thou you've a bad tooth ache." He's pretty sweet and understanding to us, but feels really heartache for him. Gosh.

My boy Q, it's a hard nut to crack. Why? He keep lying to me and not telling me the truth. That's disheartening, but I believed that as long as I've persistence, he'll be softed by me and start trusting me by telling me the truth. He lied to me about his english name, school that he's studying now and his release date. I've my ways to find out the truth, but I'm trying my best to understand what's the purpose of lying? Till date, I've not found out the background of him, because he refused to say. It's fine, I believe he will open his heart and pour his heart to me soon in the future. But, he said that he will not meet me after his release. I will really try my best to work hard with the either boy Q or B. May god bless them! :)

I'm pretty disappointed in some of the Mentors. They do not have any sort of time management. We said that to reach the homes by 730pm and we will have one hour session with the boys because they needed to go back to their bunk at 830pm sharp. However, they always late since day 1 and had wasted precious time with the boys whom we can only meet once a week or once every two weeks. Due to work issue? Than you shouldn't had take out this volunteer work if you can't commit due to the time issue. Due to jams? Than take public transport like MRT etc, if I can make it, why you can't? Yes, there might be emergency that you totally cannot join because it needed to be booked at least one week in advance. But please really make an effort to come because you didn't see the disappointed face in the boys when they heard you can't join. :(

Enough of ranting!~

#4 - My Weekends.

Dear Diary,

Friday: Went out with Bee for dinner at the Sushi Express at somerset 313 > Shopped around > Fast and Furious 6 > Home sweet home. Dinner wise, I still prefer Sushi Express citylink's outlet instead of the somerset's because sashimi were fresher at that place. Fast and Furious 6 it's a very nice movie, will rate it 9/10. :)

Saturday: Had Mcdonald for breakfast than volunteer with the unprivillaged kids from broken homes at West Coast Park. Played some games from them and I really enjoyed it. Yes, it's very tired but I'm happy because it's a very meaningful things to be done! Rushed back and prepare to Malaysia for Uncle's birthday celebration. Food are expensive and nice. Gosh, I missed the food now. Went to KSL for Kbox and reached home at 330am. OMGsh.

Sunday: Woke up at 7am, prepare to go to school for my JCS term 1 test. Not satisfied with my results. I will try harder next time!~ Took MRT to find Bee at Jurong Point for Ajisen for lunchie than desserts at "记得吃" than proceed to Japan Drum lesson aka Taiko. Bee fetched me from school after that than we have dinner together than HSH!~ Really really appreciated that Bee had spent the effort to fetch me from Japanese Class, Lunchie than send me to Taiko class than fetched me again after class for dinner than send me home. So sweet of him isn't it? :D

#3 - A sad story to start with.

Dear Diary,

Last wednesday when I went to Boy's home for mentoring, I heard a very sad story from other mentors. M was a 18 years old boy now, the reason being why he ended up in Boys' Home because he stole money from his own dad and his own dad actually called the police personally and ended up there. He hated his dad so much and feels betrayed by his own father. Well, he changed over to a new leaf and as he grews up, he appreciated what his dad did and now he's a score very well in N levels and will be discharged in 2 more months. Again, I'm so happy for him, wishing him all the best in the future.

Just one mentoring there, made me feels that I'm so fortunate to have what I have now. Even thou` I don't have a dad since the age of 4, BUT I've a caring mum, a wonderful Dog, families and friends with me. "Freedom" is priceless what I've which they do not have now.

ENOUGH OF THE EMOTIONAL POST. . . .

Alright, suppose to meet Bee yesterday, but ended up he's unwell and had MC so he gotta stay at home and rest. Decided to meet my cousin XY for dinner at Bangkok Jam and some shopping at orchard. Love simple day like this~ Got to save more $$ for my expensive braces.

Meeting Bee tonight for movie - Fast and Furious 6 at Cineleisure at 8pm+, it had been 5 days since we last met. Lesser time spend, lesser conflicts and quarrels. Perhaps a good thing? :/

Last but not least, ? days to filling and polishing of teeth, 7 more days to extraction of tooth, 14 more days to have my "Metal Teeth" up. Really looking forward for my metal teeth but not the freaking filling with polishing and extraction of tooth. :((

Got to go!!~ WAVE & BYE.

#2 - Mentor Work At Boy's Home.

Dear Diary,

Ever since I broke up with my ex-boyfriend whom I dated for 5 years. I realized that my life it's gonna be different. It's not going to have, "Proposal, ROM, Wedding, HDB, Renovating, Babies, PILS". Well, it's kind of shocked that everything that I've planned crushed down. Now, I found my life back! I started have my dreams, Japanese Lesson, Japanese drum and VOLUNTEER WORK!

Yes, many people couldn't understand, why am I wasting my time in volunteering work to help others YET I couldn't really take care of myself. So, none of them actually supported me~ BUT, to cut the story short, I'm now volunteering in Singapore Boy's home as a Mentor. :)

Yesterday it's my first met up with a boy in there. There's suppose to have an officer that was in charge of the boy, parents and the boys. However, this boy I shall name it as Q, didn't have parents to join, it's kind of upset. Q was an 18 years old teenager that it's gonna discharge in two months, really very happy for him. He really motivated me by his words~ He told me, "A person can failed to plan BUT can't plan to fail", "你要犯错，才有现在的成就". I'm not sure what caused him to be inside the home, but the past doesn't matter now. I'm going to ask him next visit, hope he can share more with me on 5th June 2013. I believe everyone needs a chance to change for the better, I'm going to give him that chance. :)

Alright, had a tour around there, the security it's very tight. Thinking that the boy's at their age should be enjoying and playing outside but they're stuck there and lost their freedom, my heart ache. :(
