If you had an extra hour today, how would you spend it?

This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for July 22, 2007:

I'm in the army, so most of the time, I need to shuffle back and forth between home and army camps. And yes, I do need to sleep in camp at night.

Although home is only a few bus stops away, I can't help but feel a sense of appreciation of free time nowadays, compared to my school days.

Alright! If I had an hour, I would call up a dear friend and chat and laugh all the way!

That's who I am. I'm a person who revolves my life around people!

A Journey Filled With Warmth

Posted on Jul 23rd, 2007 by delwynnlee : Asian Idealist delwynnlee
"I want my journey to be filled with laughter."

Yuna, character from FF10

I want my journey to be filled with warmth. That's what I said, and I say it now because I feel so cold sometimes. I don't know whether everyone experiences the same feelings.

Ever since I got into army, I have been starting to appreciate my friends and my family. And it grows ever the more now, since a lot of things have been taken away from me and I am going somewhere far far away soon.

I feel I am a nice guy. No I'm not praising myself. It's me. I can't be bad. I don't know why.

Yes, so be it. I will be a loser to many things. Instead of turning bad and selfish, I'm willing to be the old me.... just because I don't want to look myself in the mirror and turn away in disgust.

I know a lot of my friends still hang around me because of my nice personality. And I always have an idealist perspective that the world would be better if everything was just nicer.

That's why I willing to devote an hour of needless study just to teach someone.

Or go run around do someone a favour.

Or send encouraging SMS even though sometimes they don't reply.

I'm willing to do all these and more. And in fact, I'm going to do more.

Volunteer. Activism. Good causes. These are the new passions for me.

And I thought of going to church, because it does seem that Christians are my type of like-minded people. I'm willing to try it out finally this time.

In the end, I want to have many friends, a great family, lots of outings, involved in many groups, supporting good causes, have a nice pet dog and a cosy home! I want to feel loved, happy and warm on the inside.

That's why I hate cold. I hate cold more than heat.

And that's precisely why, when I go overseas, if to Taiwan, it would be winter time when I reached there. And being the first few months, I wager it would be the worst days of life.

But then again, maybe I did feel warm inside with the memories I had and the friends that are back home waiting for me?

My First Official Blog Post Here!

Posted on Jul 21st, 2007 by delwynnlee : Asian Idealist delwynnlee
I don't really know what to expect here, but I'm hoping for a tight knit community of do-gooders and idealists. Together we can change the internet for the better and then the world!

But hey, look at the amount of websites on the internet devoted to good causes. I got a whole folder of those bookmarks. Sites like Change.org, idealist.org are cool frontiers for our emerging caring and very human society.

And yes, you can already the detect the idealist in me!

I hope to have a great time here ahead!
