Went for Mr Tong's lecture @ NLB today. Haha many people seemed so lost cuz those early birds didn't know where the entrance was before the desk was actually set up. Yeah lor.. so suah gu. lol.
Anyway, I think the 6hr talk on singapore was really rewarding and inspirational, as much as his lessons' have always been enlightening, in the sense that it allowed me to understand and apprieciate better the society I'm living in and then also begin to self reflect and alter my perspectives of living as person for the better. Perhaps one of the greatest lessons I've learnt today is to value a person not for the 'boxes and labels' of society one is attached to, but really it's about how much one is worth as a being. I think this is a very important concept to always bear in mind.
It felt strange to me though, rather disappointing even, that I can't seem to remember all the content despite the fact that I've understood them. It's as if no matter how hard I try to hold them in my palms, some of it will eventually seap through the gaps in between my fingers.. How sad.
By the way, chongjin made a remark today which I thought was really motivating. "如果这个时候你不相信自己。。。" 我一定要相信自己。
Oh yah I'll be visiting an old folk's home this sunday together with the YEC peeps. I'm sure it's gonna be great fun.. =D Hopefully I can probably gain something form the visit, spiritually, mentally... physically? Haha.
