THIS IS FOR ME TO READ IN THE UPCOMING FUTURE. (: [if there's one. -.-]
---
I've just realised how important reflection and metacognition is. How important, and how beneficial doing CIP actually is.
When I went to Towner Gardens today, I went with a heavy heart as Sarah and Laura (zzz -.-) weren't going, due to weird reasons I don't want to know. I went with an extremely squished stomach as I ate PLAIN BREAD ]<
Doesn't sound so bad?
IT MADE ME FEEL GUILTY.
Anyway, the guilt washed away after I was led out of the gay music room and into the hall, where the carnival was held. I helped out abit at the Fireman Rescue stall, happily (: I didn't really see the importance of CIP then. I just played random games, collected tissue paper (yeah. lol.) and this very cute orange balloon-twisted parrot thing, but most of all- I missed the joy of being with those TGS people and cheering them on, those stuff. It might not be alot, but it just makes me reflective when I look at their expressions.
They, who happen to be mentally disabled- and what we classify unfortunate, are yet able to be so carefree, to be contented easily, and to live life simply. They are able to give seamlessly, yet us, who are already much more fortunate than them are only concentrated on taking. The CIP is actually, an opportunity for us to give, not to take. Yet, I totally wrecked the chance by doing the exact opposite.
After the TGS, after consolation from someone, I realised the true importance of this.
Ever since I was diagnosed with anaemia 2 days ago, (yeah shocking huh -.-) I've been in mixed spirits. Thankfully, I won't need to go for PE anytime soon. But what about it? PE is a part of life, sadly enough. Thing is, I'd be wondering: Why me? Why am I the one who got anaemia? Is it because I deserve it?
Yet we link it back to Towner Gardens. Did the kids there deserve to be mentally disabled? They were born like that. I guess, these diseases don't really go to who 'deserves' and who 'doesn't deserve' it. It is just... the way of life. Its uncontrollable, and instead of lamenting on the fact that I have anaemia, why not take action and fight it?
Like Xu Zijia, he's in a worser state than me: Bone Cancer, at only 18. If he can take the pain, the torment and even aim to sit for his A levels, why am I thinking of giving up and not taking my MALAY TEST on wednesday? Isn't that the wrong mindset?
I should take action, not sit here and act on self-pity.
As JayPee said, "Anyway everything will be fine de. This may sound veh fake lah, but its true =) "
:D Jiayou, CASS! (CASS, YOU ROCK AND I LOVE YOU ALOT. LOL.)
Anyway, on the bright side,
I GET TO ASK THE DOCTORS FOR ANSWERS TO MY SCIENCE WORKSHEETS WHEN I'M AT THE HOSPITAL. xD
Yeah, that was a healthy attempt at relivening the blog. (:
I GOT A TATTOO OF A TIGER ON MY FACE HAHAHAHAHAHA.
[edit]
