A Day to Remember

Yesterday was a day of many feelings.

I reached school at 8 to help out with the CIC board, and the first thing I heard from Chia Weei was that Aravind got knocked down by a car. Shocked, I went round looking for more info, and got the details I needed from Hsuen Te. Smsed the rest of the scouts, and we decided to meet at changi general hospital after my usher duty.

I went on with my usher duty, and it was fun, I enjoyed bringing people around the school and everything. Haven't done that in a long time.

Amazement, at the liveliness of the open house. The mass dance was especially cool, cause when the MC's announced the mass dance, it was like everyone just stopped what they were doing and went to dance. It was a good show of school spirit.

After that, I went to the hospital, met the scouts and saw Aravind. He had undergone operation for one of his lungs the day before, and seemed quite tired, but optimistic. He was quite lucky, cause his head fell on his bag during the crash which protected him from head injury. And there were no bones broken. He'll be warded for 3 days to a week. And should get well soon. What set me thinking was that the crash made him think about his life and what was really important to him.

Caught up with the rest of the scouts too, haven't seen them in quite a long time, especially Trent. That, was nostalgia.

Was in church for the rest of the day, discussing reflection day and attending the formation session. Learnt a lot.

In fact, as the day played out yesterday, I learnt more and more things, perhaps more than the whole of last week.

Maybe it's time to really think about what is truly important in life, and not get caught up over what is not.
