New people with us
Feels like not long ago that I had to orientate 2 fresh/young people to HealthServe... now they've made their impressions and gone on to the next level. Just like the migrant friends we meet, even the volunteers, interns, colleagues are so transient. It's sad some times, you make a connection, share a part of yourself with the person and not too long after they move on. Not saying that I'm losing in anyway, on the contrary these people add to me by sharing their lives, laughter and love. I've been really blessed.

Feathery Fun - 28 Feb 10
Just after coming back from a holiday in Perth, I went to join Bee Ngoh (person now in charge of the work in the boon lay work) in taking some Chinese ladies from the KT Dorms to the Singapore Bird Park! It was a good time of making friends and behaving like a tourist.
This is a simple first step we're taking to start the work in KT, going out together with the residents as friends, having a meal, chatting - simply building relationships. If HS has taught me anything, it has to be that all of life and work in HS centers around relationships. I was surprised how easy it was to interact with some of them. Was expecting them to be more reserved and weary of us, but they were forthcoming and chatty after the initial awkwardness when you meet people for the first time. Hopefully I'll get to know some of them even better in time to come.
