the process....

just had my first session with the boys from RINPCC. it's the sec 2s now. aww. somehow i miss the sec 3s.. it was the first session with them and frankly speaking i had a great time with them. i was quite apprehensive at first.. (because was worried that they are not able to get into the "mood".. its really quite sucky when you got those really "stern" volunteers.. like they dont laugh they dont talk.. they just stare at you.. get what i mean? haha) but anyway.. im glad that it turned out ok i suppose?

im amazed with some of the young volunteers' ability.. like they are really flexible with changes. was suppose to play some games on the first session. but they were late and after my briefing it was already dinner time. so arranged for them to help out in the canteen instead. it was the first session and some of them readily agreed to it when i asked them to help to feed the residents. although they were some uncertainty initially, i'm glad that some of them manage to overcome the barrier. and they even offered their services. well done boys. am glad that somehow slowly... they took the first step in befriending the residents. although some are still afraid but at least THEY TRIED that's really important. (:

and manfred shared.. it doesn't matter if the outcome is not what you planned for.. most importantly you enjoyed THE PROCESS.

and yes I AGREEE!! often we are too caught up with our desired outcome that we tend to neglect the process. it is equally important for us to enjoy the process of achieving the outcome.. it doesn't matter even if you failed to achieve your outcome, because what matter is YOU ENJOYED AND EXPERIENCED THE PROCESS...

(:

and im looking forward to more sessions with them...
