Cureless

My former college coursemate (& occassional project team co-member) is currently working as a JVP volunteer in CDO. His name popped out on my YM! this morning and I didn’t waste time asking him questions.

Note: I’m speaking as ba2chew.

Uwaa… how noble! I’m so proud of him. I should have been in his shoes if I hadn’t doubted about joining JVP in the past. I’m quite fulfilled now knowing that I work for the government, the people. But the personal satisfaction is still different if you come face to face with those people you’re serving…

In effect, this brings me back to the conversation I had with a workmate. I sometimes want to become a teacher… (;_;)
