Spring ‘10, Week 2
After the meeting later, Week two will come to end. Did you all had a good week?
Community Service Project
As mentioned before, my team and I will need to plan out a community service project (CSP) and execute it. This is part of our LTB module, applying the skills of leadership and teambuilding that’ve learnt into use. This is tough. Firstly, I’ve no prior experience in doing any CSP project before. I’ve been thinking for the past few days, in search of an idea of the kind of CSP that my team can do.
Please let me know if:
- you have any contacts in an organisation that requires help
- or, an organisation that would like to sponsor
- an idea of what I can do as a CSP
Aussie Trip in Summer
I had a pleasant evening meeting up with Yi Ling, Dorothy, How Keat and Cam. It’s been at least three years since I last saw Dorothy. I happen to see her on my campus, and to my surprise, she recognises me. Hahaha! Unlike most, we really did meet up for dinner! Listening to all the outdoor activities that she tried, I can’t wait to fly over and tried all of them! Sky diving, bungee jumping are two things I definitely want to do. The rest of the activities, I’ll let the money decide.
I’m really keen in having a summer holiday in Australia, a treat for myself! How can I save up enough money to pay for the tickets and other expenditures? Perhaps, I should start off wtih cutting down on expenses on food eh? From today onwards, I shall go out no more than twice in a week. I shall not spent unnecessarily on drinks, and stick to my good old plain water.
The Blind Side
Anyways, I caught the Blind Side. The story is based on life of Michael Oher of the Baltimore Ravens. It’s a wonderful story on how a white family took the then home-less Michael. They gave him a proper place to sleep over, bought him clothings and gave him food. Michael was slowly becoming part of the family. He plays football for the school and he played well. He was so good that news about Michael spread around the colleges. Many colleges came to recruit him, offering many perks along with college education. However, Michael’s academic performance wasn’t as good as his athletic capability. Eventually, Michael managed to scored well enough to earn himself a scholarship to college.
Leigh Anne Touhy: [from trailer] Find some time to figure out another bedroom for you.
Michael Oher: This is mine?
Leigh Anne Touhy: Yes sir.
Michael Oher: I never had one before.
Leigh Anne Touhy: What, a room to yourself?
Michael Oher: …A bed.
