my dear friend from soka invited me to yet another touching performance this afternoon. all women power - performers, crews, emcees, reception..., everything. i was touched because they could bring so many people together and at the same time give people hope, and happiness, which is essentially what living is all about to me.
gn introduced hassan. who is ced of lien foundation. gn told him i'm hoping to switch job. this young, modest, and i'm quite sure, smart, father of two, asked me a simple question: so what do you want to do? development work? well...just what do i want to do? if i'm going to leave the school?
i first came across the line "do not be an obstacle" from a hwa publicity poster. and that barbed wire picture stucked in my head. people face hardship all over, all kinds. a coffee shop, where people gather and have a drink, has created much happiness for some. getting involved in humanitarian work is very much like that. i think creating happiness should be the core business of more people :)
this late morning, bk and me went blading at east coast park. weather was good and lot's of people were enjoying the weekend. life should be this simple. you work hard, you play hard. when one has a problem, all try to fix it. no strangers at all.
