All's well and ends well today.

The schedule was right on time, the mood and the atmosphere created were right and i couldn't ask for more. The students seemed to enjoy themselves during the ice-breaking games and the recycle station game. The sign language song performance by everyone was splendid as everyone certainly did their best. Weeks of practises and guidance from our "teacher" junwei had finally paid off. The video about the little girl who had severe anemia was heart-rending enough to cause my tears welling up. The videos shown during the recycle station serves as a wake up call as to how sick our earth has been. Hopefully it can enlighten those who were present.

i was still nervous during my presentation but at least i think it was better than last time's. =) It's heart-warming indeed to see everyone put in so much effort into this welcome tea, with a common goal in mind, that is hope to let more students know what it is that we are doing, and let them feel touched and warmth as to how we've all felt towards tzu chi, towards nus tzu ching as a big family.

To digress, i've moved into my new room! It's situated on one of the four corners of PGP. My room is sort of like a pentagon shape, with the windows facing the trees and bushes that separates PGP and Institutes of Policy Studies. It gets pitch black outside at night and it can get pretty unnerving too. i choose to close my blinds but still, on the first night that i stayed here, there's a flying insect in my room. Upon closer inspection, it's a flying cockroach. =.=

i can also enjoy bird-watching from my window as i spotted some mynahs perching on the trees. Did i say i can enjoy an orchestra of sounds made by insects all day long? Symphony or cacophony, depends on how you see it. Sometimes it gives the illusion that i'm camping somewhere in the forest..
