oh man. i love kids. and i'm no paedophile. i mean, i realli like interacting/socialising with them. (even though they can be plain rude and irritating at times) teaching and mentoring them gives me a sense of accomplishment and this feeling which i cant decribe in words. after mentoring today(which ended at ard 7pm), i went to kovan to meet up with some then unknown people to go to this place where i can volunteer to teach primary 1-4 kids. i actually cant believe i did that. haha. on my own. i had no friends accompanying me at all. i was scared stiff and.. I WAS LATE. i mean, i didnt expect mentoring to finish so late. but luckily, vicky's friend was very nice and patient and he waited for me. all of them were from MJC so i was kinda out (even though our uniforms were blue)
when we reached the place(i cant remember wad its called), i felt super lost. all the kids knew the other volunteers and i was the odd one out. but nicholas(vicky's friend) was super nice. he made me feel like i'm there and not invisible. haha. thanks so much. all i can say is only he bothered to explain things and talk to me. :)
i was super relieved when i saw miao ying la. haha. at least there was sumone i know there. ya. throughout the session, i was trying very hard to blend in and let the kids accept me. some did. but some just refused to. but haix. kids are kids. overall, i can say that it was a very meaningful experience for me. i didnt regret going neither do i enjoy going there as much as i thought i would. i wud definately continue on mentoring and teaching these kids but i realli ought to find an organisation which is closer to my home. haha. kovan is realli very far.
tired.
lurrve!
