wow wow wow! ytd was a lil breakthru!
im sooo pooped out man, i went to sleep when i got home with an outing with justin...
background
went to see pastor dennis ytd regarding psychology, and instead got more than i asked for..
uncle dennis is a pastor at COA, as well as a student counsellor.
upon boarding the lift, uncle dennis brought a kid up to his office..
for privacy's sake, boy's name will not be mentioned.
the kid was around 12, had messy hair, and a blank countenance. he looked lost and i guess he needed help, needed someone.
uncle dennis talked to him very paitently and told us both to sit at the conference room to wait for him.
i was there for advice, he was there cos uncle dennis wanted to help him..
but as we sat on the opposite sides of the table, our eyes kinda met, and i had a wanting to go over and say "hi, wats your name"..
but i was hardened i guess.. the me a couple of years ago would've done so, but i dint.
after he left the table, tears just sprang up in my eyes..
it was really embarassing when uncle dennis came back shortly and saw me in that state.
so he took me into his room for a private chat. meanwhile, jasper(a church staff, which became my friend) took the boy for a haircut.
he handled my thoughts very carefully and made me open up a lil, asking very relevant questions to make me ponder, to make me realise my situation. we touched on some sensitive issues, and i came out understanding me more.
i intended the meeting with him as solely "business" but i guess we tackled a lil more.
he asked me if given another chance with the boy what would i do?
well, i said i would be different, and make a difference.
so i did.
the boy came back with his hair cut, and popped his head in the office.
wow! he looked better, and had a different countenance. he didnt smile, but he WAS different.
spent the few hours with him getting to know him, and playing badminton with him.. he had an interest in that sport..
thank God jasper had shuttlecocks and rackets.. so we played badminton till we were so pooped out. for the first time that day i saw him smile.
my heart melted. i hope i'll not harden my heart to pple again...
played chi go pa(a old scissor paper stone type game of speed and wit) with him, and told him i was class champ before(eh i was ok. prob still am. come challenge me if you dare.. lol) and we had alot of fun. jasper introed us to chinese checkers and told us alot of riddles and showed us some magic tricks.. man..he has a talent with kids! hahha!
uncle dennis, jasper, thanks for making me feel welcomed, and opening me up a lil bit at a time. much appreciated.
went to liwei's house with daren for a bit and went to potong pasir mrt to go down plaza sing to meet justin..
and what a coincedence, i saw that boy in the mrt! he said to me "can we play chi go pa again tml?"
and i said "yes".
