The most memorable eXperience the last holiday:

Boxing Day. The older youth from The Joshua Connection had dinner together at Jack's Place. Table booked for 16 but there were more. Anyway, we were led to a section of the restaurant, probably only for people who make reservations, where we found candles at our table. Kinda kewl. One row girls, one row guys. Normal chatter before dinner. Guys started passing stuff under the table but since all of us(girls AND guys) had decided to dress up for the occasion[oh.. i didn't have anything nice to wear, i ended up borrowing a skirt from my younger sister.. heh..], i couldn't possibly bend over and peep under the table..! had to umm.. TRY to be not chor-lor or clumsy or umm.. UNREFINED that night.. *bleah* anyway, before all of us knew it, the guys presented each girl infront of him a pretty pink rose.. *:)* enjoyed that night thoroughly..

i'm back! *grinz*

carol~*: hey gurl.. heh..OP over le..was kinda disappointing but, oh well.. its OVER!! YESH!! mmm.. probabli free this week before i go overseas.. yup.. so, let me kno wen u're free, kayy? miss ya..

anthea~*: ello!! *grinz* heh.. a BIT long larh..so i can see more posts from my wonderful taggers!! *:P*

albin~*: uh-oh..umm..u are? *paiseh*

carol~*: O0oh.. heh.. the post? well, it says as it says!! i've fallen in lyk.. *:P* with the kids from Sonshine Childcare Centre.. hehe.. *sheepish grin*
was CIPing that week and i was attached to the 4-yr olds.. *:)* a wonderful eXperience.. almost the same routine every day of the week but still enjoyable.. *:P* kkayy.. will tell you what it was like over there..


every morning at 7+ or eight, the children from ages 2-6 will come to the centre for breakfast.(if they have not already had it at home..) then they get to play toys, have assembly and attendance-taking before lessons start.

i was with Nursery2(Joy) & Nursery2(Love).. one class will first have math while the other will have chinese(they alternate later).. nothing much to do during this time eXcept watch and learn how the teachers handled a noisy, "short-attention span"ed bunch of kids.. *:P*

after that, they get to go outdoors! one of their favourite times.. mmm..but this is when i see their naughty side.. they'll fight to hold my hand and eventually i have to tell them to move away and get back in line.. mmm.. then i'll pity the smaller children and hold their hand 'cause we sometimes have to cross streets.. well, places we visit: two playgrounds, an area where there's sand to play with, the void deck under a nearby block.. heh.. talk about going wild!! they'll run about until their uniforms are soaked with perspiration! haha.. but oh, well.. they're children.. *:)*

then its BATH-TIME. yup..the chinese teacher will bathe the kids and my duty is to umm..help them dry up and put on their shirts, blouses and occasionally a few shorts.. *paiseh*
O0oh.. aniwei, let me tell you this silly thing that happenened!!

i was drying Matthew, the last boy from N2Joy.. still remember.. he was wearing a red shirt with blue sleeves.. heh.. then when his class was done, i was about to leave with them for lunch but Chen Lao Shi(the chinese teacher) asked me to help with N2Love.. so i stayed back.. mmm.. then i remember after helping Elicia put her blouse on, Matthew came up to me again, holding his towel and bag and was waiting for me to help put his clothes on!! *yikez!* was kinda surprised.. i was like, didn't i just change you a while ago? *:S* but since he came to me unchanged, i repeated the process of adjusting the red shirt such that he could wear it properly.. yup.. went to supervise the children's without thinking much of it..
i made sure that after they finished their food, they returned their plate to the tray and they could each have a slice of apple.. then that cheeky Matthew took TWO pieces! aiyoh.. such a sweet angelic face, yet so greedy..
heh.. was onli after lunch, nap time, lesson time, play-toys time and when we came to telly-time(here's when all classes come together), did i realise there WERE two Matthews it was actually ONE Matthew & ONE Gabriel.. -.-'''
*argh* MAAN, it was SO embarrassing larh!! dunno why i always malu myself.. especially infront of guys.. haha.. oh, well.. *:P*

yup.. so basically, that's pretty what the kids have everyday eXcept for friday.. they have what they call "Happy Time" when there's Praise & Worship and then a Bible story and some games.. umm.. yeah.. Ms Liu threw a bombshell at me.. i mean, i didn't mind watching the kids as they nap, reading to them, getting them to recite the chinese poems, making sure they learn their math and can write their names but.. to ask me to do Bible Story telling infront of the N1s &N2s?!!! i haven't eXactly tried that before.. *bleah* but umm.. my mouth worked quicker than my brain and i found myself saying okay, i'll try.. *:S* heh.. Ms Liu gave me a "lesson plan".. it was an A4 sized paper that fundamentally said i was to tell the story: "David and Goliath".
wow.. okayy.. at least there's a visual aid i could use(the picture Bible).. yup.. heh.. onli had 2hours to prepare myself for it so i did what i do best when faced with this kinda situation.. *:P* i prayed!! hehe.. QUITE a few times before i felt ready to go through the story..
well, to cut this long post short, PaPaGod made EVERYTHING go smoothly.. *:)*

ahh..
the joys of having Him in my life.

i have fallen in like..

we just met today and although it wasn't like at first sight, i now have to admit that i can't stop thinking about..
JERRON GOH..
*sigh* SO adorable..
we weren't in the same class but i occasionally popped over to help in his kls..
he would ever-so-often call my name in that loving voice, even if he didn't have anything to tell me..
he would give me the oh-so-kewt smile and tell me that he wanted to hold my hand..
he would choose to sit beside me even though he knew he might get into trouble because of that..
and, yes..
i have fallen in like.

BUT..

i have a confession to make..

i have fallen in like with the following too..
