Change my blog outlook. Nothing special and nice but at least more space for my viewer's eyes. Soothing,plain and sweet. Well, sometimes simple is the best. Hee Hee.

Attended a marriage counselling course this Saturday with darling. It has one group session with 5 other pairs of couples. There will be two other individual sessions for each couple some time later. Our group session lasts from 9.30am - 5pm. It was a really rewarding session. We played games, shared opinions, hold discussions, learnt some new knowledge and wrote lots of "tiny love letters" to each other. *sweet smile*. The counsellor shares with us a lot of tiny clips from movies that has touching meanings behind it. One movie called "A story of us" features this couple's marriage life from passionate courtship to pathetic divorce. But still, they got back together. There is this meaningful statement that the counsellor in this show spoke.

"When you get married, there are six of you sharing a bed, not two."

Naturally, you know who are the other four, right? Marriage isn't always a bed of roses. We should get along well with our in-laws but still, draw boundaries with them.

We also did a tiny test on what kind of love language do we use to express our love to our partner. By knowing this, we can know our partners better. Nick's love language is "physical touch" while mine is "quality time". I overheard several guys have the same love language as him too.I never thought my love language is this until i did the test. I really love interactive sessions like these. Through these, i know myself better and i can see my darling really cares for me a lot.

Our counsellor also asked us what issues we like to solve. Nick say "differences" and another guy wants to know if he is compatible with his girlfriend. Yes, i think one big issue about Nick and me is tackling our differences and i actually wonder if we are compatible too. Our counsellor told us that if we want to be a better person after being with our partner, that is compability. Surprisingly, my darling told me this same statement before! With that, it struck me as i realise how much effort he has put in to make our relationship works, and how taken for granted i am. :(

We also did a girls only and boys only discussion on "how we communicate". I guess if Phyllis is here with me, she will get all the answers correct!! All the answers written is what Phyllis told me before. No wonder my darling always have headaches when talking to me. Because i did not know how to give him time to focus and process my forever-going-questions. :P


At the end of the whole session,our counsellor called each of us to choose a card for memorial. I choose a card which is about willing to change and darling choose one which is to let go of his past. This will be our goals. Now, we discussed our future with more hopes. I am really glad this session open us up. :)

I am definitely looking forward for my other two individual sessions.

I think he has spoilt me...he always gave in to me....always accomodate to my schedule....and now, he starts to insist on his own ways and we started to quarrel. He do everything for us i know. But i really don't like it when he says how miserable he is and the difficulties he met and always like me to do it with him. Am i a heartless freak? Am i bullying him? Am i too strong-headed when i don't like him to rely on me that much? Or is he too sticky to me?

God...i really don't know...i argued with him a lot these days...
He thinks that i care for friends more than him...
I told him i need freedom and i need to always hang out with friends...

I don't know..Is he holding on to me too tight?? Sometimes, i think i am so inconsiderate and will give in to him when a third party reminded me. Am i a spoilt brat now???

It's time

It's time to change my career path. Have been having disappointments in my working place and decided more that I should move on. Has been focusing more on my assignment now and soon, i will focus on searching my new opportunity out there.

Things happened around me. I felt that life is really in our hands. It's true that we will get ourselves into situations that may burnt us at times. Friends are often there to warn you and try to pull out of the situation. But at times, you may choose to let go of your friend and still buldge in for a try. For a try as there may be a new world out there? As there may be a change to our life? Soon, we may either get ourselves burnt or escaped and became stronger. Friends that are truly yours will stay at the other end of the fire to support you. Encouragment and love will be showered on you. But first, you need to admit that you are down with fire. You have to admit that you are hurt. You have to trust your friend to hold your hand and her advice will helps you heal. if you don't, you may apply the wrong medicine on your wounds and it may hurt you more.

My beloved friends, you know who you are, i hope you have the courage to come to the light of truth. Self-denial and self-reassurance in the wrong way can blind us.

Love is the next big SIN besides being the slave for money.

My mum's checkup results was more checkups. DOctor say she heard some heart murmurs in my mum's heartbeat so she need to do more test to check if it is harmless or abnormal murmurs. Her infection on her chest has cleared but there are still some shadow so the doctor gave her 4 more days of antibiotics. On 5th nov, she need to go back to do a thorough body checkup as age is catching up too. I hope everything will be fine after the checkup.

"Buddha, please protect and bless my mum."

Went to cut my messy hair today at Kimage in Funan. Went to Sonny,the hairtsylist who cut my stylo hairstyles when i am younger. He did a good job in cutting as my hair do not curl out like a total madness! And shockingly, he cut those dolly short fringe for me. Gooosh....still getting used to it.

Do i look nerdy??



Bought shampoo and conditioner too at Kimage and cost me 116 for all. Have been very focused on facial care too so went to Faceshop to get an eye serum. The first time in my whole damn life, i am getting EYE SERUM!!!! I do not want to have wrinkles so i think i better take some precaution fisrt.



Love the whitening serum from faceshop so decided to get the eye serum from there too. I am a Faceshop FAN!!! Almost every facial product of mine is from Faceshop.Today is my big spending day on "Maintainence" to welcome the big THREE on my birthday. Sob sob~

A lot of things happened in the past two weeks.

1. My mum got hospitalised 2 weeks ago. For the first time of my life, i am committed to taking care of her. Guess i have finally start to be more responsible of the family. I could say this course that i am undertaking now do helps me a lot. It helps me to treasure what I have now, to have more sense of urgency of what is happening to the society and to be responsible for myself. My mum will be going for her checkup again tommorrow. I hope everything will be fine. The fact that she is ageing really breaks my heart.

2. Darling has became very supportive and consoling till these down times. It makes me loves him more. But on the bad side, it makes me rely on him more too. oopsss...

3. Consistent attachment = Consistent housevisits to a family. Real made me see lots more in this reality world. in fact, it makes me feel more like going into social work. Because by having this exposure makes me a better person and i hope i can empower them.

Big sotong at the crossroad

Gooshh....with Jasmine's indirect more "pushing" on to my career path, i am trying hard to think of my next plan. I am lagging a bit now to complete my assignments and to find out more about the next plan of my studies. I am a pig now. OINK OINK.

Has been trying to close deals of tuition assignments for nursery students but met stingy parents who frowned at the slightest increase of price. Is not that i am money-minded but is the long distance that i need to travel to tuition their children that made me increased their fees. I will be teaching my twin sister's daughter phonics who lives at Yew Tee.

Job
a) Should i continue to tuition and focus on early childhood education?
b) Or Should i move on to be a human service worker?

Studies
a) Should i move on to master in counselling?
b) Or should i move on to study a cert in diagonistic therapy for special needs?

Ultimately, my goal is to work with children, BUT those who needs help. That will be when my counselling skills come in when i deals with their parents. God, I am at a crossroad now. I need to do my research before i turned into a real sotong!!!!

Give me a break!

And yes!!! I am enjoying it now!!! Hehehhehhe!!! Finally left with exams and a few hours of attachment to clock in. With that, i will be on my way to do my final attachment report and graduate!!! I am now at the criscross road of my career path.

CHOICE A: I can only be a social worker assistant with my dip in counselling. I am planning to take up my degree in counselling. If i changed my career to what i mentioned earlier, i will be loaded with pressure from work and studies. But the experience gained will be good.

CHOICE B: I can continue with my part time job and take on more tuition jobs but money still not enough! One of my friends actually wanna pass some of her assignments to me and the charges are good. Maybe i will take on her students and went on free lance. Money is better but travelling will be very tired. But i can manage my own time.

Oh no...so A or B???????

I am a SurvivOr!!!

Wow wow wow....tell me about it!!!!A social worker's life is really tough!!! Got to go knocking on doors to do surveys, got to run programs, got to work on weekends to and most importantly, I am impressed with their love and passion to help others!! Three cheers to them!!!

Am reaching the end of my diploma in counselling with my attachment.Have spent the whole of my holiday week at Marine Parade Family service centre for my attachment. Create a program for primary one to primary five kids. The objective is to build up their self awareness. Do it with 5 of my coursemates. There are late lunches, tired minds who burned the midnight oil, sweaty heads while holding the program, drained out bodies, arguments and hiccups all in one group. But i can really say, we came up with a good program. The supervisor of the centre rated excellent for most sections of our evaluation too. I felt most glad to see how the children who were initially closed up, angry and rebellious melted down...and started to participate in most of our programs. And at the end, they did brought back something with them. That are the morals of each lesson we taught them for one whole week through games, activities and craftwork. I could never have done it with the teamwork of my group. Although i may be too frank to express my dislikes to one of my groupmates, but i am glad she soften down and explains her situation to me.

Went to house visits in this week with one of my teammembers too. We faced a lot of funny situations together and also teared at some housevisits. Together, we support each other and she corrected my mistakes. We do feedbacks for every case and concluded which is the better way to do so. I did learnt that i am very blessed through this one week's journey.

Am reflecting if i want to be in the line of social worker before proceeding to the path of counselling. Isn't it the best to know someone's pain by standing beside her and experienced what they experienced? In that way, we can definitely helped better. But am reflecting if i can manage the stress of this job and studies at the same time.

Virgin experiences

Have my first two house visits this Tuesday. Objectives are to find out what problem the seniors are having and helping them to cope. It belongs to part of my attachment too. I selected two friendly seniors which i mentioned in my previous entry. Select the most friendly senior, let's called her "Madam A" as my first target. Went up to her house and she was very friendly. Offered me drinks and food and gave me some fruits too. I accepted them as i had a hard time rejecting. Hahaha!!

She tell me her stuffs, showed me her photos. I noticed how she aged over the years and feel for her. She is still very in shape when she was in her fourties! But once she got married, she aged quite rapidly. I shared this with the person who is in charge of my attachment and he looked into my eyes and asked me one question.

"So you symphatise her?"

Oopss....i know my mindset is wrong already. I try to twist and turn my information, afraid to admit this feeling. He added...

"You should emphatise and not symphatise...in this way, you can help her cope with her life as you must believe that she can cope with it."

Today,it's my turn to share my learning experience in the class. I managed to overcome my nervous genes by smiling and being funny and 38! I shared this story with my class and my lecturer wanted each classmates to list the differences between empahthy and sympathy. After all my classmates' sharing, although i disagree with some, i agree with these.

"Emphathy is by putting ourselves in others shoes and be empowering. Symphathy is to feel for the person too but not believing that they can cope."

"Although emphathy has to be taught,young children has hidden potential to be empathatic as they are not judgemental."

"The older we are, the harder for us to be emphathatic as we are not clean sheets of papers anymore. We went through a lot of life experiences."

Guilty as i am, i did wrote about these in my essays, learnt about these in class. But when it comes to real life experience, i am still lost. Virgin experience as it is, i definitely learnt a lot from my "counselling" sessions.

Cranes of love

Spent my thursday and friday at my attachment place. It is at QUEENSTOWN!! It is so far and the estate is full of staircases! Did not work these two days so no income at all. Sad sad!! On thursday, i went to help out with the "Songhe cranes" which is advertised by fm 958. Students from various primary schools folded up to 5000 cranes. Each crane represent 1kg of rice. If we can chained them all up and packed the cranes nicely, they can get 5000 kg of free rice to distribute to the needy.





It is a meaningful community project and the seniors are very committed in doing up the cranes. I spent my thursday getting to know the seniors. One of them even invited me up to her place! She keep smiling to me and was very happy when i am at her place. After that, went off with my 3 other classmates to discuss about the activities we need to organise for the seniors. Lots of Oct and Nov weekends are "sacrificed" for this attachment.Although so, i do not mind as i want to learnt the most from this attachment. I do not want to clock my hours just for the sake of clocking.

On Friday, Jessie joined me and she mixed around well with the seniors too. The auntie there who looked after the place cooked very yummy bohboh charchar with another senior-volunteer. They offered us this yummy dessert for our "high tea" break. It was nice to get up from my seat and stretch my aching bones which i get from sitting like a statue and repeating monotonous steps of tying knots. Sad to say, some of the cranes are badly done. One student even made a crane with FIVE pieces of paper and i need to fold them again. The poor seniors have a hard time "filtering" the cranes.I felt that if we want to help, we should do our best and not, obliged to. If one is obliged to, that makes more work for those who are really willing to help! Seeing packets of cranes still laying there to be thread up made me wanted to help more.



The seniors concentrate and put in so much effort to thread them up. They will arrive punctually at 10am just to do this mission. I guess it is something for them to look forward to too.


I have requested to have a few home visits to the seniors tommorrow. After which, i will continue to help out with the cranes and go for lesson after that. I bet i will be DEAD BEAT tommorrow.

Try and U will Know...

Went PRAWNING with my poly girls...a new and virigin experience but a nice one although not even one prawn loves me. :( By the way, i noticed Phyllis look so demure when she is with her boyfriend.


YEAH!!! Cool weather!!


Darling and me


All the poly gers, 2 married. Hee Hee!


Concentrating by the rod, except me.


Yummy looking prawns.

After that, we went to have our dinner at AJISEN and started to roll out our enthusitic plans to gather for more EXCITING events. Phyllis came up with a GREAT idea of having a adventure walk at Bedok area!! I did take a look at the webpage and thought it must be very thrilling and fun! Thought it was nice and something to spice up life! My darling doesn't have much response to this when i mention it to him. A sudden thought suddenly strike me. I think he is afraid of heights. Well, i will confirm with him again. And can you imagine, even my dream is related to this upcoming adventure event!! I dreamt i need to walk across something when i am high high up. Forget the details of the dream already. I don't know if i am too scared, too happy or too nervous about this. Ha ha ha!! But i am definitely looking forward to it! And and and although Nick is frustrated when he gave me a "bicycle renewal course" and we have a heat up argument again BUT i still insist hi teaching me. I have bad habits of

- Braking with my legs
- Reckless cycling
- Ignorance about brake
- Mount and alight bicycle with constant contact of banging on the NODNOD..Hahahah!!

So he taught me real hard to erase my habits but i am too timid to try.hahah!!

By the way, Nick and me went to catch the movie "Up" at Cathay at AMK hub.



It is a 3D show. God! I love this movie!! I love its colours!!! I love the colourful balloons, the colourful bird, the loyal boy and the silly willy dog. This cartoon is although a bit sad but is very meaningful! I wonder what is my dream and adventure i want with Nick. Hmmm....

~Hot CookIeS~

Went for another community project (part of my attachment) on National Day itself. It was actually the one year anniversary for being engaged but studies are more important!! So off i went to sell cookies to raise fund for camp rainbow. At first, i thought the volunteer co-ordinator, Alex would be there to help me endorse my documents. But no, only the campaign leader Vanessa will be there. I met them at the taxi stand of Raffles City and was shocked to find out that they were YOUNG students! Did not find out of they are promary or secondary school students. They were a bit YAYA when they brief us about the programme.

Me and my female classmate went to sell a few cookies outside the MRT station then we decided to head to esplanade. That is a wrong choice. There were many foreign workers there and don't want to buy at all. The weather is hot and we could not sell our cookies in MRT station and shopping centres. Very beneficial for us right? (angry look) So we have only hot sunny and mostly unsheltered places to go.It was soon lunch time and we managed to sell about 20 cookies only.

Met up with the rest of the volunteers to have lunch together and three of them have sold all their cookies!!!! So embrassing for us. After lunch, we spilt the cookies among ourselves and start to sell. The weather is very warm as it is about 3pm already. We can only approac them under the hot sun. They are impatient to stop and buy as the weather is very warm. My legs were tired, my face was sunburnt and my throat was very dry from the talking. At about 4pm, i left the place and went to meet Annie and Huiling.

Well, i think it was real hard to sell cookies for charity. Some merely walked away when you talked till halfway! It was a tough experience and i would never do this kind of community project again. No Street Sales for me!!!! NO NO!!!

-OuR BIg Fat JuiCy KiSSes-

Woo Hoo!!! Is JESSIE's birthday!!! Guizhen, Joyce, Jessie and I went to Kallang KBox to sing and eat. This place is not as crowded as the usual Kbox outlets and our room is real big!! We went gaga inside. Took pics, strike pose to look skinny, went into a kissing mess when we wish Jessie "HAPPY BIRTHDAY~~"

BiRthDay GiRL


Of course, it is not a mess of kissing on lips, just a mess of kissing on cheeks. And we snap the pictures as we took with her individually. Do we look obsence? :P

Joyce's bdaY kiss


Guizhen's bday Kiss


This is damn funny lo. Both of us so embrassed!!! hahahha!!! Both of us look so funny!!


Finally a proper take.


The best part is after our dinner feast, we played all Jolin Tsai's fast songs and started dancing away. Well, i could say that I am the more GILA and thick-skinned one, just dance away. Jessie and Joyce also joined in and dance. And it is real funny and fun to learn Jolin's dance steps. very difficult lo!! At times, the Kbox staffs will looked in but we just giggle and stop...and start again!!! Wow...this is call "Healthy Lifestyle", exercise just after you makan!!! Perhaps, age is catching up, we did not maintain our stamina for long.Hee hee!

Last of all, am real happy to know these buddies of mine. All married only me. And we sort of form the DESPARATE HOUSEWIVES team!!! We play, gossip and learnt good stuffs from one another. :)

Jia Lat

How la.....How????
No mood to do projecT!!!!!
Is the final module yet another damn boring module...
Gonna learn to evaulate if a program works...and not applicable at all in Singapore context!!

Just doing for the sake of doing...
Yet i only type two words...and that is "The program"...which is the title of the assignment. And the next moment i know, i am blogging!!!! ShuckS!!!

And bad news...H1N1 has mutated!!! Worse case in Hong Kong now...dunno H3 or whant N3... and my er jie, who is a nurse in TTS says if one get both virus, confirm die. God...i am weak...i better start exercising and watch my diet now... I still wanna get married, stay in my new flat and live with my darling...

Ok Carole Yeo....please scram and do your assignment NOW!!!!

My very first encounter

with................LIONS BEFRIENDERS of course!!! There were 4 of us involved in this same attachment. They are Umi, Aishal, Nadia and me. Typically, 3 malays, 1 indian and me, the only chinese!The centre supervisor, Eric is very friendly to us. Today is our orientation day. He asked us why we chose to work with the seniors and we told him frankly that it is not our first choice and we are posted here due to the random assigning of our lecturer. He let out a sad look. But we tell him that we are not afraid to try and are keen to try new experiences. That made him somehow, feel more at ease. Hee Hee.

After that, he took us around the centre. It is located at Queenstown blk 150. The blk opposite is blk 151, a blk of rented one-room hdb flat. And this flat is very special. A security system is attached to selected residents of this flat. Somethe seniors who stay there are in critical health conditions so this alarm serves as a security for them. Once they pull the alarm, it will be connected to Eric's office and he will rushed up to check if they are fine. If they are not, he will need to call the ambulance. After that, he took us to another service centre at blk 151. Coincidentally, the befrienders are holding an event for the seniors and so we can check out how things go. I noticed that the response of seniors are slower so the pace of the activity cannot be too fast. And very funny, they actually pull 4 of us to take pictures with the group. They are really a group of friendly people!!! That is why i always like to go volunteer, the people there are always there to make others happy and are nice people! :)

Went on to clock my community project hours so we stick along with Eric to proceed to another place near Bouna Vista to help with ushering. It is a befrienders and management meeting. Surprisingly, the befrienders are all above 40 years old!!! Same as old as 60 years old!!! And they commit every weekend to befriend the seniors.

So much for my first day experience as i am really damn sleepy now. hehhee... mUst faster blog this down as my memories are still fresh. Am definitely looking forward more to this attachment!!!! :)

Not enough money!!!

I am now reaching the end of my diploma in counselling. Going to struggle through one more module with attachment and lots of hours to clock for clinical hours, community project (eg. participating in campaigns, flag days....) and group work. I have started to find information on continuing my degree or all the way till master for counselling. I realised something. My current job can't hold the new fees that i am going to pay!!!! That brings me totally no mood to strive on the job i have now.
I do not want to stress my darling on this issue as he has enough worries of financial issues for our wedding and housing. So i decided that i cannot go on part time for so long. Although i can study with a piece of mind, but it is really not enough!

I am thinking of two alternatives. One, is to find a part time job with good pay, no matter what jobscope also can, for a few months. Second alternative is to keep a lookout for social workers job opportunities while i am doing my attachment. It is time i move on to this line after persuing my studies. I am only afraid the struggling of juggling this new job will crash with my attachment. I am still thinking.

I have came a long way....from IT....to student care...to montessori childcare...which gets me into interest for persuing therapist jobs for the young or helpless...that led me into counselling job....but to start with...i need to be a social worker first. Guess it will take me a LONG time before my career reach my ideal stage BUT this is a career for life that requires your heart and soul and passion.

Taking 3 days MC to recover from my cough is definitely killing all my mood to work..

Looking back

Yoo Hoo!!! Back with a revamp! Revame of colour...ReVamp of Picture....Was looking at my old blogs and SO MISSED the pretty things you can do!!! When i am at wordpress.com, I can only stick to its ugly outlook. The only pretty thing is the privacy.

Looking at my previous two blogs, i have noticed how busy i am with my career change!! Although i am still busy now, but i realised i have matured a lot. I am no longer so jumpy, 38, mad,gila as i am years ago. With the agreeing of wearing a diamond ring, and signing the contract of a property, i can feel the burden on my shoulder now.

And as the flu virus spread, many people are knocked down by it, needless to say, ME!Doctor has prescriped a very "effective" course of antibodtics to me and am on MC for two days. Am real tired of getting sick. Ever since i am with my darling, my weight increases and i seldom get sick. But after the damn stupid fever virus that struck me,my immune went low and i felt sick twice within a month.

Going for my orientation of my attachment this saturday. Hope everything goes well! :)

Last day @ my centre...spendin it the Special way

Today is my last day in Brighton and it is spent in a very tiring way! Early in the morning, i need to bring the kids to West Coast adventure park for excursion. Luckily, all my favorite lovely kids are with me. Yes, this is going to be the last day i spent with them. (ooh, i am starting to miss my kids now,especially Gerald and Russell). West Coast park is very big and one teacher is in charge of six children. I told my 6 children that they cannot wonder and walk off themselves, else they will get lost and will be unable to reach home cause West Coast park is VERY VERY big. This acts as a "warning" to them and they are all well-behaved! *Wink* My Russell even insisted holding my hand. My dear Gerald being an active boy who loves to run, accidentally suffer a fall and got 2 scratches on his knee. He started crying and was real depressed after that. During the whole snack time, he is leaning against me and has no mood to socialise around as he normally do. My poor boy. This is the last time i can gave him love and comfort. :( Gerald's mummy is very sweet too. She bought a braclet from Perilin Silvers and gave me a thank you card. This is all that satisfied being an educator, and that is to be appreciated. :) My two otehr twins students are very sweet too. They came down all the way to give me my farewell gift. Real touched!

The best is still yet to come! While we are having our snack in the west coast,i am being "summoned" by the rest of the teachers to take a group photo. Being the camera-not-shy Carole, i, of course walk excitedly to pose for the photo. All of a sudden, two teachers grab my hands and i felt water pouring down my head and body! Gosh, the naughty teachers actually took the bottles of water and gave me a free bath! I am running away like mad and they are happily laughing at my WET look! And being the silly me, when they assured me again that they will not SABO me on the second phototake, i INNOCENTLY walk over and join them again. And yes, there they go happily saboing me, watering me like i am a withered plant! Gosh, i am soaked inside out. It was fun though and the children are siting on the canvas, watching this free show! Ha Ha Ha! I immediately went to one of the teachers and hug her from the back like a koala bear! Hee Hee Hee!

Mixed feelings i got here. Happy that i am moving on, sad to leave my children and fun-loving colleagues....

The other half

Today is a very tiring day as i am having my woman problem and bringing the kids out on excursion. When i am back in my centre, gonna rush and feed and bath them. After that, settle down and do some unfinished work. As i am leaving soon, i need to do some work and also pushed some of my kids' academics. My last day is nearing but i still have 8 days to go. How i wish my last day will come soon.

My friend gave me a call last minute when i am reaching my home and call me to accompany him to buy birthday gift for his girl. In the end, he bought wedding bands for her. Feel real happy for him that he is finally getting married! :P Seeing more and more of my friends around getting married, i wish i can find that someone soon too! Ha Ha! But i am very picky now in terms of age and mentality. Sometimes, it is not just chemistry that will do the trick. Especially for my age, it is typically looking more for husband type guys. Situations may happened that the person likes you but you just don't like that person. Or maybe you think that person is suitable for you, but you two just don't have the chance or fate to develop more.

Hope that my other half is nearing me and definitely a geniue one! :) Hee Hee.

I learnt yesterday that self-helplessness can be cured as by giving the correct advises, one can stand strong again. But self-hopelessness will be the worst as the person itself has already give hope on herself/himself.

Don't be afraid to be afraid and feel uncertain of the future, just ask and find out. But never lost hope on yourself and the future!

Back from Camp

The camp has ended and it is too short for all of us. The kids are wishing that it can last longer. I was kinda sad to say goodbye to all my teammates and children on the last day and am starting to miss all of them. It was real nice hanging out with the kids and i typically blend into them till i get bullied by them most of the time. I will say my usual rubbish and crack jokes and teased them. On top of that, i also give them pamper and care by providing massage service!! When i do that, the kids will start to go "Me Me Me" and fight for their turn especially the boys. But when i asked them to massage me back, all of them run away!!! Only the girls will massage me back. Naughty boys aren't them???

I get along with my girl very well and she is smart and independent. She knows the way throughout the camp better than me and most of the time, she will know where to walk so i just followed. Ha Ha Ha! But during the first 2 days, she was down with fever and i was worried that she will be sent back home. The nurse kindly instruct me to pump her with lots of water so that her fever will subside. I did so and keep her water bottle full and keep calling her to drink. On the first night,i sponge her and she felt much better on the second day. My girl also opened up a lot and chit chat with me during the camp. I am real happy to see that she is so at eased with me. :)

The whole group of children were fanstatic and the befrienders were totally helpful and nice. We were the oldest group as all my kids are secondary one, only my girl is primary six. Our group name is Cool Maroon Racoons and i guessed we were too cool. As there are long waits between activities, therefore my fellow small racoons tend to get lazy when another new activity start. They will start to fall asleep or laze around. Ha Ha Ha!

At the start, every kid is shy and did not really get along. On the last day, all the kids are playing together and getting along very well but at this moment, they got to part soon. It is sure a great pity that the camp lasted so short.

All of us exchanged contacts and emails and added one another in friendster and msn. Chat with harrith and celine today on msn and celine has just flood my tagboard! Ha Ha Ha! Well, as long as my kids are happy.

Lastly, i really am impressed with one of my befrienders who take care of a more special kid. She is very patient and cool tempered and i wanna salute to her. She did a fanstatic job! This camp is really a place u meet genuie people.

Three Cheers to Cool Maroon Racoons!!!! :)
