fuck. i just finished my apel 2 service reflection. seriously, i think its a complete waste of time. well, even if i'm so free, i still think doing the service reflection is pretty dumb, i may have other better stuff to do man. ok, lets take a look at the questions first.

1. identify a disadvantaged group, and briefly describe the current situation or share why this group is significant to you.
2. what problems do they face, and what do you think they really need? give example(s).
3. what are your goals/objectives, and in what ways can you volunteer your service to help this group?
4. think of a tentative strategy and if applicable, state the (i) pros and cons, (ii) costs.(costs may include supplies, materials, transport, rental, utilities, manpower, etc.)
5. based on your recommendation in (4), draw up a tentative action plan.
6. how is volunteering related to your life mission statement?
7. how does volunteering effectively reinforce at least one of the apel key principles or values? apel values include respect, integrity, compassion, cooperation, perseverance, loyalty, and initiative.

ok, i don't mind doing question 1, its still ok. but from there onwards, i'm like come on, if i really wanted to do voluntary work and help a disadvantaged group, will i still do that shit? answer. hell no!

i mean come on, what's the point of coming up with a dumb fuck strategy and action plan when actions speak louder than words? if u really wanna help the disadvantaged, just join any voluntary group and follow them around.

and lets be frank. u think someone like me can be bothered to do voluntary work? i don't think so. i had 2 weeks of holidays and see what i did so far. slacked and worked. true that i have alot of free time, but i don't think i'll ever to be that great a person to do voluntary work. that's y i respect those volunteers who's willing to help others for free and not for stuff like money and maybe cip hours. please, doing voluntary work in exhange for cip hours is considered a transaction by me, pure helping and voluntary work doesn't need anything in return.

and well, i finished that service reflection and felt dumb after completing it. cause i think it was crap. typing out something that i may nv do in my lifetime and answering some questions that i seriously nv thought of. all for the sake of passing apel 2 and not repeating it in 3.1 or maybe even 4.1. see! transaction taking place.

talking about wasting time. i still remembered my past experience of telling one of my teachers that his lessons was a waste of time. well, nth much. i was banned from his lessons like for 3 whole weeks? lol. wanna know who he is? mr zulfiki, that damn art teacher with a mole somewhere on his face. the week before, he had already asked us to draw some stuff and shade it. well, i shaded half of it black and he still said its not good enough. so i had a record of getting sent out of class 5 minutes into the lesson. mofo.

enough of my ranting, lakers is still in the series but are still trailing 2-3. so good luck bah. no team had ever came back from a 3-1 deficit in the nba finals. could the lakers this time be the 29th team to try it and the 1st team to accomplish it? well, we'll just have to stay tuned.

went bballing ytd. wasn't that fruitful. was quite off arh. maybe the 4 days of work tired my arms out. but again, that's an excuse. i just didn't play well, thats all.

so shall stop here.
