it takes me a real long time to update. . . but i'm back again

well, today was a pretty interesting day. i had my service learning (SL) at yishin ( i mean yishun ) safra country club's eagles beaver, which is a child care kinda place. the kids there age range from 3-10. i've always like kids, so i didnt think this is too much of a problem for me. but damn, i was so darn wrong.

the kids were adorable no doubt . but they are soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hyper n NOISY ! i wondered am i ever like this when i was young ? haha.... my group was neptune n we had a helluva time together. we did ice breaking first , then they requested for piggy backs which i obliged to ! we were supposed to come up with cheers, n guess wat, this is our cheer. ( no cheer , no cheer no cheer no cheer no cheer no cheer no cheer echo no cheer x2 using ole ole ole ole tune ) after tt, we learnt christmas carol ~ tt part was fine, nth much interesting. they remained ever so noisy though. then we proceeded to games. my group was the super heck group, they practically went through the games totally irregarding the rules. tt also made my job of supervising by the side so much more hilarious. they are so cute at times.

we taught the kids dance as, n tt really made me feel like i'm from high 5 ! hahaz... we sing n we danced with a bunch of kids following us. one thing bout kids, their concentration span is so short and so is their memory term. the way they dance also made gravity looked really strong -_-" hahaaz....

as always, there will be one or 2 stand out kids. one of them was keith from which group i dunno! he's the free roaming agent ! he is bout 5 i think , n he dance like a real pro "freestyler". he also has tt cobra dance which he will dance with jerel, another monster age 5 too. then there's this slightly older spiderman who is the worse of all... he doesnt listen tts why. but as kids, they always have the other cute side of theirs. though they made our job really tough, at the end of it, i think we all missed them.

the food there were also delicious, its good food n there's no limit to it. so i believe the cost of sending ur child there might be quite high. the teachers , from wat i can see , are pretty well trained to deal with kids, they all have their way on kids which really made me admired them. one day , n my whole class was left shagged by the intensity of noise n running ard catching kids back. the teachers have to face them 5 days a week! tt would be hell for most of us but not the teachers. *salute*

haha, i suddenly rememdered one incident. the kids are really affectionate ya... we made the group of like almost 20 go kiss our class giant , nico , who stands at a staggering 1.88m weighing 130 kg!!! he was helpless against 20 "sexually deprived" kids, who went all out for the kiss. he ended up with most of their saliva on his face n hands. lolx. we videod it down... its gonna be a classic.

service learning is over, but its more than service learning to me. its more like a part time child care teacher kinda job, i totally understand the difficulties of being a teacher. having to deal with little fights, quarrels , arugment, ostracising , noise etc among the children. i wouldnt mind doing it again. n the length of this entry probably shows how deep an impact it has left on me.

well , i'm stopping here! merry christmas guys ... go! neptune!
