pat's sch house (E-Y)

"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!!

long time no see

nothing beats a great day with your loved ones . and yesterday was no better than any other days after that day he came over my place. i really miss him. yesterday, friday, i prepared myself to visit my long-time-no-see Sotaro and anthony accompanied me. we supposed to blade there. here's the thing. last week, i planned to visit Sotaro but it rained. so i had to reluctantly canceled it. then again, when we were ready to set off, the sky grew grey, and then dark, and same went my heart, down sinking. nothing i could have done than to pray to my loving Heavenly Father. as we set off rollar blading there, we suddenly were able to see the sky turned blue and i was so grateful. i can tell you, for the past few days it rained, today was not spared. but i faithfully believed that it was through the hands of God that held the rain back. THANK YOU GOD!!! we reached punggol early, so anthony stayed downstairs while i went up sotaro's house to meet him. when i was just outside his house, ...

a special birthday for a special boy!

 the day i anticipated eagerly was finally here. i brought Jos out after awaiting for this opportunity since months ago. just needed time and space to spend with him because we've got so much to talk about, and believe me, you can talk to him like an adult. and since it was his birthday, i took the opportunity to seek permission to take him out for a breather.   i met him early the morning and brought him out for breakfast first. Kopitiam's half-boiled eggs, siew mai and hot breverages.    we then set off the our destination. it was a surprise for him so i didnt reveal our directions or alighting point. he just followed obediently.   and then, before we knew, we found ourselves 15 levels above ground. :) i took him on a journey to see life from a different perspective. and we were looking down from a bird's eye view.   cheese! so many things we can see from the top. it was just a very different experience.   not ...
