Been quite some time since I updated. Been busy. =) Ah well, I have been thinking about certain issues in my life, and I couldn't help but think back about the old me. The Wei Lun 4 years ago was a 2 faced man. Seemingly cheery on the outside, but grim and bitter on the inside. I didn't like to talk to people much, content to minding my own business. I had the tendency to lapse into a "grim" mode, whereby I'll just camo myself into the suroundings, put on a grim face and just either stone or do my own stuff. Super Anti-Social person I was? Hehe...
But along came a few people who invited me to Cell Grp.. And the rest is history. It wasn't an overnight change, but a gradual one. I was still quite closed up, like a shell... But along in my journey came people who slowly opened me up, talked to me, got me to share etc.. It was during this time that I gradually opened myself up... I started talking more, smiling a bit more... Hahaz.. One of these people is Jaslin.. Because of her, I am what I am now. Thanks Jaslin!
I hope that anyone who reads this will be encouraged by the little story I have. Everyone, be it a new friend or a mature member, requires constant fellowship and concern. It would be sad if they were left out in conversations and activities. Be a friend to everyone. Don't think that because he or she is older or is a new friend means you don't go and talk to them! Step out of your comfort zone! Don't stick to the normal people you usually talk to. Talk to the rest! Everyone deserves equal amount of friendship. And please, don't give short replies or answers la. I find it irritating myself! Its hard to keep conversations going if you just give a simple answer or two. Its as if you are not interested at all! Keep the conversation flowing, get them to share! And older members, don't talk as if you are some kind of older person with an air of authority! Humble yourself, bring yourself down to the level of the person you are talking to! PS: This was taught by Jaslin! Thanks once again!
Wah, long post. But I feel satisfied. Perhaps I was led to type this, but nevertheless, whoever really bothers to read this, hope u find this useful. Comments are welcome =)
