To be a testimony of Christ and set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity (1 Tim. 4:12). Do whatever is true, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, whatever is excellent and praiseworthy to God (Phili 4:8).

*.* My first graveyard shift.. *.*
*.* My first graveyard shift.. *.*
It's my first graveyard shift and I must admit not easy to stay awake for 12 full hours!
Got to check monitors every hr and do rounds every 1.5hrs. Worse still! System went down and got everyone panicked. The system is the one that ensures all doors are secured. Some doors can only open using that system. Imagine system down and there's a fire in the dorm, my girls will be cooked and everyone has to prepare probably 5 toilet rolls of report. System went back to normal within half an hour. Imagine having to wake your manager up at 2am in the morning. Bad bad.
I found myself knocking out at 5am. I was really feeling the fatigue and was really bad. Took a quick nap and it was time to wake the girls up. One of my girls was isolated because of some issues and she called to say she wants to see the doctor. But she persistently asking for her stationery and I was finding something amiss and after her second call, I went to check on her pencil case. Lo and behold, I found a letter in her pencil case. It was supposed to pass to another girl from another dorm and it's illegal in the home.
My mentor passed me the pink form and told me to issue her a Violation Report (VR). It's my first time issuing a VR at the early morning 7am. I felt bad though.
Anyway, I survived my 12 hrs of duty. I must say it's a peaceful night. I hope I get that too every night when I'm alone.
I slept 2hrs so far. I can't get back to sleep despite feeling so exhausted. The fatigue kicks in at the wrong time. I hope I survive tonight's class.

*.* Sad moments.. *.*
*.* Sad moments.. *.*
I had a sad day in the home today. I was helping to pack some things and I saw this artwork from one of the girls. This girl is special, her IQ is below average and she wrote this "Dear Mummy, thank you for all your support but I don't know how to appreciate you." When I saw this I teared. If the mother really loves her, she would tear too. This girl doesn't really know how to express herself and I seldom hear her speak except giving attitude to the staff.
The other part that I felt was very touching was the parent visit session. Parents come and embraced their girls and spent about 45 mins with them. One of the girl was crying after the session because she said her grandfather didn't welcome her. She felt a little rejected I guess. Sigh, my heart broke.
Parents, if you don't want to see them, don't tell them!! Don't give them false hope. They are hoping that you would just come and see them and bring their favourite food.
Sigh.. I know I will get use to this soon.

*.* New Environment.. *.*
*.* New Environment.. *.*
Been almost a week since I started working in Girls' Home.
It has been really exciting. Everyday is different challenges. Girls will take turns to have mood swings. I'm learning their names first and getting to know them.
Rule of thumb in home:
1. NEVER trust the girls.
2. Be FIRM but not sarcastic.
3. Never let them cross the boundaries.
4. Never get angry with them because if they are good, they won't be in the home!
My colleagues have been really good to me. Hopefully cause not it's my first week.
Seen many heartbreaking cases. Many of them their parents don't want them and family problem. Not being racist here but most of them are Malay girls and they can be very rude.
I've sent girls to the segregation room already. It's really heartbreaking to see them lock up inside and crying but it is because of their mischief and incorporation that they land up in there. So it's really hard.
I've never like a job so much before. Everyone hope I pass my 3 weeks attachment and stay for long because I heard the shortest 1 person stayed was 2 weeks to 2 months. I foresee myself staying there for long..

Been slacking the whole of last week with a series of birthday dinner celebration. Now this is beginning to kick start my week with withdrawal syndrome.
Thank you all for the birthday wish.
First day of work at Girl's Home. This is really an eye opener for me. I can't expose too much as most the stuffs I do is confidential. Most importantly is to protect the girls. Heard some heart wrenching stories today. Some of them are not there because they are naughty, but because they are under Child's Protection Order (CPO) or Beyond Parental Control (BPC). So don't label them.
Society will change for the better when everyone do their part..
Saw this quote today: Growing up doesn't mean you take care of yourself, it means learning to take care of others.

After two weeks of rollar coaster I've finally come to a decision. A very tough one indeed.
When two people come together to make things work and none of it goes well, it hurts two party. Be it whoever calls it off.
I just hope we can still be friends..
