"Joey is beaming from ear to ear!" (A.Chan 2006)

quoted by dear Andrew Chan, and yes, i was, beaming from ear to ear today...

well, it's all because......

our group went to Pat's School House to teach today... Joy and I were the teachers while Lina, Wan and Andrew did the anecdotal records for each child...

frankly speaking, the lesson didnt go very well at first... we only had the introduction part and the children were getting reckless and questioning unrelated questions... so, what i did was i spoke to the kids and seriously told them OUR RULES... from then on, they actually got better and along the way, i felt a connection and bond between the children and me...

they were all very cute and nice...

once, i asked the children, "Do you think fighting is right?"
and the children replied, "NO!!"
so i said(because the children were standing), "who fight, stand up."
and all of the children sat down EXCEPT one girl...
so, i thought she did not hear that, and i repeated, looking at her, "who fight, stand up."
and she remained standing, confidently...
so i said, "you fight?"
she nodded and replied, "yes... i fight with my brother before..."
and i was stunned... of course, i praised her for her honesty but seriously, i never did expect somebody like her age to admit just like this... moreover, she was the only one standing... well done!

during the lesson, one of the kid said, "I love you!"
and i replied, "I love you, too!"
and the kid said, "i want to marry you!"
and i said, "oh, you can get me a ring the next time i come!"

hahahaha...

anyway, that wasnt why i was beaming from ear to ear today...

alright, let's cut it short... so, we managed to complete the lesson and bonded well with the children... we stayed till about 12.15pm, which was the children dismissal time... as we were walking pass a play area towards the exit gate, one of, or maybe my "favourite" boy from the class i taught came running towards us, saying byebye... so i waved to him and said good-bye... well, he then gave me an unexpected hug... ONLY ME!! *jealous?*:p i was so happy... so very happy that you could tell it from my face... my smile betrayed me... well, my friends, especially Joy was shocked... hahaha... come on... i would label this as "a child's pure love"... it's really a very innocent and pure hug that really made my day... he's so cute and not only did he made me beam from ear to ear, he changed me... i was really happy after that... compared to my previous few days... An unforgettable and blessed day God has given to me...

say, i couldnt ask for more... see, i've got the greatest gift of all, God's love...

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

"Greater love has no one than this, that he(Jesus) lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13

and the love of the children i came across... so pure and innocent... truly, that's nothing i could ask for more...

thank you Jesus!!

our exciting soccer game

after so many indian workers calling you sir, you kinda feel very good every day and hence you will tend to turn away and grin.. well, it's manners though but how many people will look at me and call me, "sir" in singapore? well, maybe not in my many years.. today, right after work, i, together with the aircrew quickly packed our things and rush back home.. reason being: we had a soccer match against the indians.. i went home quickly, shit(cuz i had to) and rush down to the field.. the game had actually started (not playing but lining up and shaking hands).. so i had to wait by the substitute seat.. game was exciting and we actually lead 1-0 in the first half.. i was then sub in to play in the second half.. well, was kinda disappointed with myself for playing below my expectations.. and my legs aint very cooperative too.. my right hamstring hasnt fully recover, my left calf still have the cramp pain since sat.. but then, i created some chances and did some crosses and had...
