swam

went for a swim just now at bishan with lynette. after which we went for lunch nearby. and shopped ard j8. we swam 5 laps, in the comp pool. highest record so far. sense of achievement. thanks lyn.

felt better today, but i feel like playing basketball too. feel like running too. missed playing volleyball.

mentioning abt vb, in nie, i saw my vb senior weixin (she's in chem/bio), saw cps classmate hweefen (yr3) and blss schmate esther (yr3) as well. all teachers wannabe. but they're so far ahead of me. perhaps that's the difference between capable and not capable. planned and unplanned. goal and w/o goal.

watched a short clip yday in edpsyII tutorial. it's abt sue, she's a lady with special needs. disabled, mild retardation, vocal disability. she's different from us, she's much stronger. she communicates thru sign lauguage and works in pizza pit (america), folding pizza boxes. and she has an ambition, she wanted to change job, to become a teacher. she went to sit in a childcare home, teaching little kids sign language. she did what she wanted to do. she achieved more than she could. i admire her, her mental ability, strength. and envy her determination.

last part of the clip, she said she had a boyfriend, and wants to get married. and with the help of social workers, she did. a simple wedding, but touching and blissed. she washes her own dishes and looks after her husband. her husband is great too. he, who reliants on wheelchair, communicates thru simple sign language and pointing at words to express himself. we all wondered, how did they manage to communicate? the answer is: it's spiritual union. i'm so touched and happy for them.

someone asked her this qn: who decides for you?
she answered: ME (pointing to herself)

this video sets me thinking. how fortunate we are, to be able to talk. but still, pple have communication breakdown. a point taken from a tutorial grpmate: we are only physically abled, but might not be emotionally. sue and her hubby, they are physically disabled, but not emotionally. they treasured whatever they have, but normal pple dont.

she affirms that she makes decision herself. how abt us? do we make decisions by ourselves? or we tend to make decisions to please others? or let others decide for us?

or at least, me. i feel that i am not even worth being where i am, and what i have. sue deserves more than me.

treasure. whatever, whoever.
can we?
