tzu chi camp

By c3

it was an impulsive decision tt i went for this camp.
it was a last minute decision.
a decision tt has made me more of myself.
i was thinking it must be i was too lost lately tt i need a breakaway.

so i went.
i wan to thank my roommate, ming rei for this.
well, she did not persuade me to go but it was for her companion tt i went for the camp.

i am happy throughout the camp cos i hv learnt more and gained more on things tt kenot be obtained through formal education.

first
i learn to appreciate what i hv.
count my blessings. i learn not to wail over the need to bathe, the need to eat, the need to do alot of things. i am fortunate tt i am stil able to do all tt i can do now when ppl out thr cant. i learn to give more than i could. i learn to appreciate my mom more and not to wait till i am successful and provide her more security. (k, tt was my initial thinking)

second
i learn not to look bc and i hv to look forward.
(i am surprised to listen to the answer of mr. sakai, when asked 'what is your greatest regret in life?' he answered me, 'i could not provide fd and proper shelter to my family.)

mr. sakai is one of the many tt received aid from tzu chi. he was a drug addict. i expected him to tell me tt he regretted his life bc then but no, he gave me an answer tt really made me realised the mistake i hv made; i regret on the past. he told us, dn look bc, look forward, let past be the past, what is important is now, appreciate what we own and hv now...

third
i learn to mingle.
for the past two days, i hv been mixing with people who are younger than i am. in a group of 8. all younger than i am. for this, i am glad i meet new friends. besides tt, i get to meet two lovely 2nd yr medicine students. both the same character, both are roommates and both hv wacky character =] they hv changed the mindset of me tt medicine students hv got whole lots of benefits. in fact, they are just like us. nth extra.

i get to meet an international student in the camp too. she is from china, nanking and from her i learn courage. she shared with us tt she went to ipoh and kl all alone the last break. if i were her, i dn think i would hv done tt. glad meeting her. =]

guess tts all tt i wann share from my camp experience. there are alot more but time restriction. need to get bc to fyp.

let the pics do the talking...
