kids...
Last Friday was a super stressful day for me at camp. Was very pressured to get work done. Unfortunately for me that day, i was the only one in office. The other two fellas, one was on leave, the other as usual, has some stupid lame reason not to be in camp. Couldn't play badminton that day, so was a little sad, since i now found a new passion in the sport. Wasn't all that bad though, managed to leave camp shortly after 5pm, and went to Cafe Cartel with family.
At 8pm, i met up with my old Mass Comm friends! It was to be Serene's birthday party so Ming invited me. It was great seeing all of them again. I had missed the good ol days we had together. Had a great meal at Clarke Quay. Strolled along the river a while but didn't go anywhere for a drink or anything. Got home just after 12.
Had duty on Saturday. Enjoyed it much better than last tuesday's with that monster of an officer. Honestly, it may burn off one day of the weekend, but it feels so much better than a weekday duty. It's more relaxing (i practically slept most of the afternoon), and there's really not much (if any) work to be done. I like. Plus the officer on Saturday was nice, so time went by extremely quickly. Before i knew it, it was Sunday!
Rushed home right after duty only to rush off again for classes at Cityhall. Got there on time (surprisingly) and battled through the 3 hours of lecture trying to get a better understanding of the topic. This new lecturer's from India, and his accent is super strong. I can hardly get what he's saying. And he speaks real fast too. Kinda wished i had the old lecturer back, cause even if all he did was read from the textbook, at least i knew at the end of the day, where in the textbook i can read.
But anyway, headed down to church after classes and had lunch with the bunch. Went back to church after that and spent a good couple of hours studying. Also had a good conversation trying to understand Kevin Mong better. Hope he's alrite after that crazy conversation, but he actually really is a nice fella lah. Don't understand why he seems to be proud about the bad and naughty things he'd done. Don't worry brother, i will pray for u, and for your O levels too.
Also please pray for Sam Jr. If i'm not wrong he'll be starting work at a different place. It's in God's hands, so don't worry so much about it. I'm sure you'll do well :)
Helped out at our church's Mid-Autumn Harvest. Started off by serving drinks to the oldies from St John's eldercare just across the street. They're really nice people. Very sweet and full of smiles. Was also the rice scooper at the buffet area. Haha i had fun. When my job there was done, i headed to the children's area where i 'became a kid again'.
Well basically, apart from being a mentor to these kids, i ended up learning a lot from them. Well basically with kids, they can be the most nicest cutest sweetest things on the planet, whereas with others, they can be little menaces, very rude and all. But i discovered that it's those who are rude and disrespectful who just need a little more care, love and patience. That's all. There was this little fella in yellow (and a bit of blue) who was rather annoying and rude, but i just played along and after a while, he started being a little nicer. Then there was this particular little one. Wahh, so CUTE. Kept coming to me to shake my hand and laugh profusely after that. He had very big eyes and he's really very small. His elder brother also a nice little guy, said the sinner's prayer for the first time! Praise God! He says his grandparents bring him to church, our church apparently, so i hope to see them both around sometime. So adorable lah kids.
Remember i once said that i hated kids? ERASE that OFF your minds. I must have been possessed to say such a horrid thing like that to such young an innocent little ones. I now know how it feels like when you are patient with them, that they can be such cute little bundles of love.
And just like out Lord Jesus said, to let the little children come unto me, for the kingdom belongs to such as these.
Wonderful bundles of joy they are...
Also got to know some of the YFers better, like Xinyu, Gloria, Kevin Mong and Shimin. All very nice people. Oh yah, i know Michelle was a very talented stage performer, but i didn't know that Rachel could act so well too! And her spoken Mandarin is so smooooth! Those two look very good together on stage Haha... I hope to inspire them to do more of this to develop their potential ya? But genuinely from my heart, it was a very meaningful skit. Well done girls!
So yup, that sums up my day in a few paragraphs. The Lord please bless the week to come.
