Voluntary service is not as fun as I thought it would be. Well, it actually depends on which department you are sent to. On the first day, Jeremy and I got sent to the Emergency Room Division. Yup, we were the lucky ones which got picked! There were also two other volunteers there. Both of them I found out were from Chung Ling High. They had volunteered personally to gain experiance. Since they were the seniors, they got to tell us about their experiances and teach us a thing or two about what actually happens in the ER.
Well lets skip to the good part, instead of boring you about the way of tidying up a gurney. At about lunch time, an accident victim got admitted into the ER. He had a concussion on the head and there was this wound on his forehead which was bloody all over. Basically he was pretty scratched up. We watched as the doctors treated him and as he screamed and writhed in agony. Believe me, it was gruesome. There was also a woman who came in with blood on her upper arm. She had been bitten by a dog. Man! Those puncture holes were huge!
The second day was not at all fun. I was sent to the Marketing department and all I got to do for 4 hours was cancelling an error they have made in a form. there were hundreds of those forms.
The good side of volunteering: You feel great, free lunch, new experiances
The down side of volunteering: Being sent to boring departments, gaudy vests that must be worn while volunteering.

Yesterday, I went to Gurney Plaza. I don't know how many times I've been there this week. I think I went there nearly everyday! Anyways I went over to meet Karen and May just to hang out...our last time together as Karen is going away to study in Switzerland in a months time. We went around trying winter clothing:) I wish Malaysia had 4 seasons...
Then later on, I went for a movie with Zhi Xiang. 16 blocks is not a bad movie. However, the character that Mos Def was playing has such an irritating voice. Each time he talked I just wanna scratch his eyes out! But basically, its worth watching. According to me and Zhi Xiang anyway!
