inspirations

When people complain that they don't have any good posts because they don't have any inspirations, it might be cause they can't seem to draw it from anywhere. And one of these sources of inspiration is other people's blogs. And so if no one posted anything no one will be inclined to post anything new because no one posted anything. Uh yeah.
Hence I shall write something worth talking about, apart from emo things which are not very inspirational.
This post shall talk about the CIP that I had from morning to evening.
Overall it was rather, depressing.
Heavy rain followed by a constant drizzle in the morning, not a very good start for the SL project. The aim of the project was good, helping people with muscular dystrophy. The idea of using basketball to attract teenagers' attention is good as well. Except it all summed up to one factor which is the timing.
Not a very good timing I guess. Where all the seniors are studying for their prelims and A lvls, and these few days always have heavy rain, so the people who came and supported are quite little. It's like, I can only see people from basketball from both hci and nanyang side, and maybe some councilors. The rest of the people are almost non existent. Can be seen when every game stall except the 3 on 3 basketball were empty for almost the entire day, and in the end we had to close the stalls at 3 pm, way earlier than the supposed 6 pm.
Maybe there are other reasons, like lack of advertising, or lack of very attractive methods of drawing people. In the end it's quite a pity to see so little people turning up for the event.
Which brings me to the topic of service learning. With so many different service learning projects targeting so many different groups of people in Singapore, might it cause people to become desentitised to these SL projects? After all one won't be able (or willing) to spend one's money and time on every single SL project, so in order to be selective some SL projects have to be ignored. In that case it's not really the SL project's problem for not being effective, but more of people losing their sympathy towards people of these groups? With so many charity groups, people learn to be selective in which group of people they are going to sympathise with. For example, some may support children with art talents that have financial problems more than say mentally disabled people. In that case, are people getting more discriminative?
I'm not sure about my stand on this issue though. I have always been trying to be nice to everyone, like the sky that accepts everything in it and under it. But I know that it's impossible to treat everyone equally, there is prone to setting of standards, tiers.
I shall not talk about a certain tier system anyways.
