Random Act of Kindness
When you carry out acts of kindness you get a wonderful feeling inside. It is as though something inside your body responds and says, yes, this is how I ought to feel. Nikita Wong. Wongy. Wongkie. Wongkitongkie. Ms. Wong. Nikita. Whatever name you know me by. This is my ranting and rambling on the memoirs of the olden days, the excitement of the present days, and the anticipation of the future. This is me, uncensored. |

Bedtime Tale
I met someone who has got quite an amazing bedtime tale to tell. I reckon he might be in his late 50. His hands were shaking every time he speaks so passionately about his background, history and his journey to where he is now today.Back in his university days, he was an anti-war activist against the Vietnam war. Later on in life, when he held quite a high-up position in a large company that makes airplanes in the US, business and humanity considerations call to reach out to Vietnam (channeling medicines). Cutting long story short - across seas, borders, cultures, and diplomatic challenges (think about two governments who doesn't talk to each other!) he made the impossible - possible. After many years, he finally able to make that difference in a matter he was so passionate about back in his university days. He was doing more of this humanity work than his own business work and then he decided to quit his job and established this NGO as his vehicle to channel his humanity work focusing on developing health care for the underprivileged, working currently for Indonesian community. Some story that was! It makes me think though, after many many years being involved in a youth leadership development organisation, what kind of contribution would I make in the society?

anything you want, whenever you are ready :) just think about what you are passionate about, what changes you want to see in the world. never too early and never too late to start - like that man!
