the clinic
okay...i gt excuse for not blogging regularly yea....
my internet connection has failed me again.yes it has...
i'm actually in my cousin's place taking advantage of her wireless connection :)
so yea...my entries may not be so regular until the connection is fixed.
so the Medical, Legal and Conseling clinic took place yesterday.
I was again volunteered by my mom to help out.
I was in charge of the registration counter. I have to say I like registering people.
It's quite fun, smiling, writing people's names down and all.
But sadly, it wasn't not fun all the time. I think all of us had in mind that this clinic thingy was supposed to be an act of community service. Something positive. Well, I guess some of us had higher expectations. They were people who were not-so-nice and not-so considerate la. Some of them were just plain selfish. And the mind-boggling part of it is that these people are our own church members. They act as if they were paying us and demanding for first class service. I mean, c'mon la, this was supposed to be community service. Well, i'm not asking them to be like really grateful, thanking people and all. But maybe a bit of consideration at least??? What happened to the fruit of the Spirit? especially PATIENCE? But again, it's really not for me to judge. Really. Of course, not all of them are like that. Some of them were not-so-pissed at us when we had to tell them that the specialists can't see them. All in all, I think people did benefit from it la. I mean it is after all it is meant to bless the community. We have a lot of areas to improve the whole system the next time we have this event. I don't know whether we will organise it again though after all the heartache and energy we have to put into. Maybe the church wouldn't think it practical if we do it again. or maybe they would. hmm....
I guess that's all for today la. My laptop's running out of juice now.
Cheers~
