a busy day indeed
woke up early in the morning to go to salt's house to prepare food for the children's home we were going for service learning. had much fun and we were at first flustered on how to cook certain stuff as we were a greenhorn.hahas. fengyi was the chief chef for deep frying fries, liwen the chief chef for the pancake and dawnie the chief chef for the roti prata! hahas. i assisted fengyi since i am lousy in cooking stuff.lol. at least today i learnt how to use a deep frying machine!interesting though =)
then we left to meet the rest of classmates in school to take a chartered bus to the children's home in serangoon way. a unfortunate thing: my nose started to bleed profusely. so scary. almost thought i am going to see doctor until the nurse did some miracle on me! thanks alot! the moment she came, my bleeding almost stopped. i think i pressed the wrong part of the nose. wonder why my nose vessel is so brittle. sigh.
anyway after that was tuition with the children there. i was assigned to these two girls whom were unfriendly at first sight. tried to talk to them initially but they didn't replied or talked to me. i was kind of sad and i really didnt' know how to interact with them. luckily, after a while when i tried teaching them, they began to talk to me more and they were actually not that bad. perhaps i was a stranger to them. taught them english which i am rather poor at.
realised that not every children have a nice childhood from the rest of us. some of them may have different family backgrounds that make them having different attitudes compared to the rest. i feel fortunate and thankful to have a family where i grew up happily at least. nowadays, primary school students may not be that innocent afterall, seeing that they actually know of alot of stuff that i may not even have known when i was young. hmmmx. perhaps times has changed. we should be thankful for whatever blessings we are bestowed with and not whine always. we must remember there are always people who are less fortunate than us.
during play time, a few of us played basketball with those two girls i tutored. they were quite good and we lost!hahas. we were watching the small boys playing soccer, with some naked boys. there were quite a few cute, good looking boys though! lol.
i am so tired now. perhaps we will go back and help out next time.
