Can we do More?

Its been a long long time since I've last blogged. MSN still down and out and house is still under renovation, so technically The Wolf is still stuck at home =/ Anyway personally, I love the colour of my room so allow me to show off a bit XD Don’t get GREEN with envy (pun not intended)

So I’ve got a green room now I guess =)

 

 

 

Alright enough about boring me, back to the post title. Can we do More?

 

I’ve always stared in amazement when I watch shows where they well give away free stuff to audience members especially talks shows, just to name a few, Oprah, Ellen, Rachael Ray… and the likes. Plus it is really comforting to see that some need families in the USA get major help from an all time favourite show of mine, EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION

Besides they do need the help right? Plus I’ve always fantasised that my home could one day be renovated free of charge, no effort put in and upgraded with the latest high tech equipment. XD Gosh I am dreaming…

Well if you do ever catch EXTREME MAKEOVER: HOME EDITION, you’ll know what I mean.

Here’s HMHE

Amazing isn’t it? Building a home in 7 days, from tearing it down to building it up and retro-fitting it with all that the equipment gosh… It truly is an amazing sight.

 

WAKE UP

 

These two words screamed in my head tonight. I couldn’t take it any more after watching that show today…

It was heart wrenching…

I don’t know if you felt it but the episode I watched today was about that girl if you have the time to scroll to 4:32

She took care of the home since the age of 5-6, cooked for her mom and sorts… I cannot describe how I felt when I watched that show. It just felt so painful to think that the “miserable” life I thought I lived in was even the least bit miserable. Sometimes I would blame God to why should this happen to me, there was once I wished I had lived in a better better world.

That is just nonsense… What much more can I dare ask for? I have a family, I have people who love me, I’ve got my friends, I’ve got all I could ever ask for…

But you know… that wasn’t thing I was most hurt and most troubled about… Why can’t we do more? They renovation was a mere paint over and cleaning and addition of new furniture making things more livable. But… What’s wrong with Singapore??? What’s the problem?

Its great to have charities, its great to help lives but… but there’s just so much more that we are able to do! So much more! Its just this burden that is placed, whenever I see it… I can’t help but cry when I watched the show today, I can’t help but feel… Something stirring inside… Making a difference! WHERE? HOW? WHEN?

Gosh… I think this is more of a RANT than anything else. But I do hope the contrast between the video show you something…

*ouch*

The wolf is howling at the waning moon. The Wolf is howling.
