I was very tired but I have to wake up earlier to go to St. John's Cathedral's AOHD for voluntary placement. We ended up arriving earlier --> 7.30am!!! Where we supposed to be there at 9am. We went to a restaurant nearby for breakfast.
Out of no where in the heart of KL City which filled with high-rise buildings, exists an ironic-extreme setting which is infamously attracting a different crowd.
A western breakfast which comes with coffee. I was kinda contented with the food and we started to talk with Carl, the person-in-charge. Finally, I got an overall view of the feeding programme.
I had trouble sitting and standing...I got very restless because I was tired. I enjoyed being there because not only does it serve as a valuable experience, it also gives me a whole new perspective in seeing people around me. I'm so blessed that sometimes or most of the time, I take things for granted! Thank God that I'm able to lend a helping hand and to serve people at my age. Experience serves as a better teacher compared to study alone. I totally agree with that.
After the exhausting event, I headed college for my group project discussion and got ready for class! I was looking forward for Dr. Hera's lecture on Eating Disorders. I thought it'd be something very interesting but it was the opposite. It's distressing to know bout it. When I was being asked what or who should be responsible for the disorders, I was startled and I realised how important it is to think before we have to say something especially on the outlook. I was being brought up with collectivistic culture and evaluation from others seems very important. In fact, many take it very seriously and ended up hating themselves. It's disheartening to know some facts underlying beneath.
Did I misjudge or are the girls here really getting thinner and thinner? I never look into that until I came back from the States.
Treatment doesn't really help. Prevention does. I pray for better future in Malaysia.
