Happening Workplace

Well, the kids i met @ Y Hub are definitely changing my life, slowly. Ive never spared a thought for kids b4, seriously, coz i thought they are juz inmature, playful & mischievious monkeys.They will only have to care about what to eat in school with the pocket $ they r entitled to daily; how to finish up the homeworks shafted to them by teachers; what to play today. Life's like so carefree & easy for them. No worries like what i used to undergo when i was a small boy.

Jeremy took the money meant for Y Hub's Children Camp in Dec and ran away from home. His mother was so kind & generous enough 2 sponsor us for the camp, knowing that we are doing it for the good of the kids here, but she trusted the wrong person. Jeremy took the $200 and spent merrily with his "brothers" and only returned 2 days later when he had exhausted the "free gift" from his mum. Such audacity he had to claim that the $ can be deducted from his bank account, no big deal to him. I was utterly sad & disappointed to hear of such incident. Ive come across & made friend with many ah bengs, whether they had took drugs b4, AWOL, joined gang & participated in gang fights, made countless gals & women pregnant; whenever i shared with them abt Jeremy, they will say: Wow, so fierce ah? I dun even do such thing.

Yesterday, i heard he ran away from home again. Me & Mark wonder if a pyschiatrist can help him.

Then my story will never fail to leave Cassandra out; or i should say Cassandra never fails to leave herself out of my story. Yesterdae was like usual, she came 2 Y Hub, again seeking attention. She came 2 my desk then asked if i could lend her 20cents, coz she needed to buy something 2 eat, & it turned out to be an ice cream from Mac. While waiting for my reply, she fondered with my pen, drew somwthing on my envelope which she "presumes" unwanted, then took the file i was reading & placing it elsewhere. I was like,"U r realie getting on my nerves.Wipe off that smile off ur face." Then i took my wallet from my bag & discovering that i didnt have 20cents, i took from the cupboard instead. That was e 1st time she entered e office yesterdae. But when she entered e 2nd time while i was in another room, she breached my trust & committed something most undesirable.

@ 5pm when i took out my wallet to fish out some $ for my boy 2 buy my lunch, i realised i had $5 missing. I thought i might have misplaced it, but recalling tat i had only spent $3 in e morning & nothing else, i knew it must be her. I asked e volunteer in e office & she told mi tat Cassandra entered e office, went 2 my desk, but left hurriedly when she saw e boys coming in2 Y Hub. What i lost is not $5, but a child who i had spent 6 mths trying 2 save from e lost path. When her action of picking up tat wallet from e bag of someone who had been so ever tolerant with her, been caring & sensitive to her problems, being ever so ready 2 help despite being disappointed again & again by her, everything is lost once again. Doesnt going to juvenile court twice becoz of theft serve as a deterrent 2 her? As a warning? As a last chance? How many times must i forgive this "innocent" gal b4 she mends her way?

Though im troubled by Jeremy & Cassandra, ive decided 2 focus on helping Pan Liang for now, for i saw a brighter glow in him, & a greater faith to change him.

My life is happening.
