Yea! Its finally EMD Befrienders day. LOL. I went alone today, on my first day, and i was so darn nervous! Li Ting... you must rest well cos dont be sick next week! Or you gonna get it from me. LOL. Just empty threats. HAHA

I reached NUH at 5 30, which was really quiet early. I couldn't loiter around as there is nothing for me to shop in a hospital right? With no choice left, i decided to go earlier. I was alone, did i mention it? That is because my friend is sick, and i couldn't bring myself to miss this very first volunteery work. Therefore, despite being very blur and nervous, i still managed to bring myself to NUH.

I had forgotten where the pantry and the locker room is. Well, as a result, i turned a big round and made such a big detour. Well, i eventually got to my destination and started my volunteery work so none of that 'getting lost' thing matters. :)

Once equipped with the volunteery tag and courage, i approach one of the lady that was sitting at a corner. She seems to be lonely and tired and i was afraid i might get rejected in the end. Things turned out to be better than what i've thought. We started a conversation :) A good start and thats what i needed to start the first day as an EMD Befriender. :P

The most interesting conversation was with another lady. She made me realise that i should not be afraid of approaching ppl that seems to be unfriendly. She said: ' You will feel more contented if you were to be able to start a conversation with a person whom you thought you couldnt chat with, than to talk to someone who is already very friendly.'

This sentence really made me realise that i should be more friendly and bold, to talk to others whom i dare not speak to. This, then would be more interesting and meaningful. :) So i wont be shunning those that seems unfriendly :)

Quote of the day for me: Never think that helping someone is a form of losing out, at the end of the day, you might be the one person that stand to gain :)
