In 2011, I’ve started to spend more time with the community. Every week, I’ll get to speak to many people, understand their living conditions and try to facilitate and improve their surroundings. It might not be something that is significant, but I thought, a small request that we have put through will help to change or improve their lives a little in one way or another. I’m beginning to adapt to my new lifestyle, not yet really public but one that everyone looked upon to solutions.
I’ve started to attend many events and received quite a number of invitations. Through the various events, I’ve got to know more people. In some events, I got to meet people who were less fortunate and begin to start cherish what I have with me, its not something that we should take it for granted but something that we should cherish. As a Chinese saying goes, “Good things doesn’t last forever”.
I’ve met up with people young and old and to me, the greatest achievement is not about what I’ve achieved personally, but the smiles and satisfaction that I see on their face. We look after the young, to nurture them for our future. We look after the old, to appreciate their hard work and things that we are enjoying it.
As I take on more responsibilities to look after my community, I hope one day, the people around me will not just give me a smile on their face but tell me what they are really proud of of their community.
