really enjoyed my night with ling.
we first went out with supper with some of my hall mates.
apparently there was a situation and i was called upon to provide companion to zeling who drove.
haha. we had our 'usual' supper dish - hao jian, oyster egg.
it was yummy-licious!
after we head back to hall, we did birthday cards together.
i'm very proud of the cards we made.
and while at it, we talked a lot.
and before we knew it, it was 6 and we were then off to la-la land.
i wasn't in my best state to give and sow into her life as i would usually have been.
but yet, she still decided to come and just be by my side and helping me with everything else.
and i am really thankful for her pressing into an area that no one actually quite did.
she asked me on how i was coping and how i felt.
i kinda don't really know how to feel anymore.
like what i told her, i am crucified and died and pressing on to be touched and ressurected.
the conversations that i have had with people of a different standing has been rather informative and factual. everything seemed rather 'touch-and-go'.
people were telling me what is the right thing to do and it is for the better and things along the same line. i appreciate that but it is just that it lacks the human touch to it, the lack of empathy.
this is sth that i learnt over these few days - your physical presence, a listening ear, genuine concern, giving of hugs, empathy, matters a lot more than what you say to the person when it comes to the area of emotions especially.
true understanding and wisdom in a situation is saying the right thing to the need of the person at the right moment, with knowledge on what applies...
