Pertapis

Ok.... normally i don't blog about work....and I can't...but i'll make an exception... because a good part of my work this afternoon was for community day!

I had the chance to go down to Pertapis (http://www.pertapis.org.sg), a muslim run Charitable organization to help gather logistical data for our annual community day and the experience was quite enriching, in more ways than one...

well besides doing something different from normal work, i got to interact with people from the malay community and hear sad stories about how and why certain old folks or kids end up at pertapis.

Short of saying cliche stuffs like "i guess i'm pretty fortunate" and the like, I believe what's best is for us to make the best of our situation, no matter what they might be...and these are what the children staying in Pertapis does...and we should learn from them.

We really should.
