Diversion from the true meaning

Another inspirations from a brother in Christ. He was absolutely right when he say there's some kind of diversion in the focus of the camp. We need to constantly remind ourselves that we organize these camps with an ultimate goal which is to serve God and hopefully we can be the walking gospel in the groups of students. We hope that the love of God can be shown through us, those who has already experienced the love of God. But unfortunately, what the student has perceived might be different. They might think that the talents, the communication skills and appearance are more appealing to them. This is quite wrong when we actually think deeply. Yup, literally we are organizing motivational camp, our task is to help them and try to motivate them and indirectly involve in behaviour changing. But the latent meaning should be clearly and deeply embedded into the heart of each volunteer. Each step we took, each word we say and even every non-verbal cues we send out bring meaning to them and it actually reatly affects them. So we as someone who carries the great mission should think not only twice but thrice or even more in everything that we do. We should each examine the real and true motivation behind us. We go there for? To gain confidence? To expand your social life? To gain experience? To gain attention? or To glorify God? This is very important because we know what inside our heart is the most important thing. We live in a world that is not isolated from non-christians, so we need to be aware that we need to stay alert always in no matter what we do. As I can see from the camp, we really did make big impact to the students but is that a good one or the opposite end? We must really evaluate it cos if it is a bad one then we should take correlation action asap before the original aim and objective of this service get contaminated. We do work to glorify God and not to show how certain individuals can carry out their task excellently. No individualistic but collectivism that should be taken place where everyone work together with the same good motive and heart. How beautiful is the picture? So bear this in mind, I'm telling you, yes you SHERMAINE CHAN SUET MANN!!

PS: Not referring this to anyone. Based on my personal observations and perceptions and most importantly, acting as a reminder to myself.

Fail as a Comm student

I sometimes really don' t know how. Not really good in dealing with relationship I guess.. Might be just me not really understand la.. But I really don't know how. Shame to say I'm in communication where I'm not good at all in it.. Pls.. Help me..

Mixture of feelings..

I feel like updating my blog but I don't know what to write... Or I shall just inform you all that I just back from an exhausted yet exalted ( a word from friend ) camp. I would say it is a mixture of inspiring, fun and bit disappointment.

Shall blog about it more when I have the mood

Self-Reflection

Attitude and how you view yourself really affected by how people view you? Socially constructed I would say. I think it's partially true. It much depends on how the relationship of the viewer and the context you are in. Some might say I'm noisy but in a different context I'm considered a quiet person to someone. No matter how, I realised something about myself.

• I can be very talkative that you feel like asking me to shut up when I'm around people who I am comfortable with but in a totally opposite manner if I'm full of uncertainty.
• I'm not really good in socializing or to be more precise I'm just not that kind of person. I don't really like socializing when I don't feel like but sometimes I'm quite amazed of how a few close friend of mine can really socialize ( I guess that's me )
• I can communicate better with guys rather than girls, don't ask me why but that is what I've observed. It can also be proved by the number of male close friends I have are so outnumbered female close friends. Some of my male friends tend to say they don't really treat me as a girl ( a brother? ) But it doesn't really matter for true friends. Some might think I'm extremely reliable ( according to most of my close friends ) but yesterday I found out a rather unusual case where a friend of mine don't really think I am ( but maybe because we are still not consider as close friends ). kinda shocking to me but we need to accept the fact that everyone has their own perception about something. You can't control what they perceive as correct and wrong. I guess that's the interesting part of life

Ok, those who are reading might suddenly think I so emo but in fact, I'm not. Just suddenly think of this and feel like writing it down. Ok, we move to other better things. Haha.. You guys should give me a clap of hands. I've just finish reading six chapters of SRM in 5 hours+ time. Wow... Friday is the test, so I hope I can finish it by today lo... Cheer everyone!!

Blood Donation and Inspirations

Today a friend of mine gave me an inspiring yet silly thought. " Your blog is all about you". I was like of course, this is my blog! of course it's all about me and what surrounds me la. This is the silly part but at the same time it actually give me another point of view. Actually the way you usually view as correct doesn't always work the same for other people. You always blog about your own in your blog doesn't mean that everyone is doing the same thing. Some might love to blog on other people and perhaps just someting he/she came across?? Silly? yet Inspiring..... hehe.. Below are some pictures of MINE in the blood donation campaign. There are more but lazy to put also la..

I do work 1 ok?
