Youth Corps

Went for my first Teh Tarik session at the Red Box ytd after work.
Was my first youth corps event since i joined as a member last year.
And, it turned out to be quite fun!
The people there are really really friendly and young hahaa
I was like one of the oldest there.
But their friendliness, just makes me feel very welcomed.

Had an interesting and engaging session where Joe Tan, Founder of Love Action Project shared his experiences and his view on friendship.
Something he shared makes me re-evaluate my view of friendship.
The past year, ever since leaving uni, hasn't been the easiest for me in terms of relationships.
I've met so many new people, yet at the same time so many left as life gets in the way.
But, there are so many types of friendship - those that grow with you, those that are one-time friends etc.
Even if they don't stay, it doesn't mean any of them were not impt to you at that moment in time.
What is more significant, is the experience and impact they brought and taught you.
And I thought about it, the reason why I am always disappointed in people.
Instead of having expectations and questioning others, perhaps I should reflect more on myself.
To have great friends, I need to be a good friend to others first.

After which we had a mini get to know each other session.
Haha had so much fun talking to strangers coz everyone is so friendly.
Stayed behind for awhile to chit chat more with some of them, really glad to met them - Zhi Lei, Chen Hui and Afzal.
Hoping to see them again soon!

Cried at work on Thurs.
Got to know some bad news - HJ is leaving.
Didn't know I would get so affected by her departure but I did.
Sigh, sometimes I get quite annoyed by my own sentimentality, but I am learning not to apologise for how I feel.
Just had to let it out, and then I'll be fine.

Que Sera Sera - What's meant to be, will be.
