there's been a lot of lessons learnt this week. im just glad, that they didnt all come from the classroom.

queenstown primary cip -
severely underestimated these kids. and that's not necessarily a good thing. (random fact: its 5.32 am in the morning, an alarm bell just rang in the distance, and i can hear cats fighting all the way from the 23rd storey. )

i guess the positive term will be 'precocious'.. the extent of their knowledge is quite remarkable. swear words of a variety of dialects, languages, shape and size.. kids running and using vulgarities all over the place.. WHAT ON EARTH ARE THESE KIDS ON, BESIDES SUGAR? ARE YOU SURE SOMEONE IS NOT SELLING THEM CRACK?!

in any case, im going to have to come up for a game plan for art proj. AND, im going to do my very bestest not to judge these kids, whatever they do. its a mentorship programme, after all. (: there's actually something to be learnt from them. ^^


i just dont know what it is yet.

ymca. WE GOT THROUGH FOR SINGAPORE CANCER SOCIETY! next step, YMCA! hopefully we'll get through, seeing we already crossed one hurdle. this is GOOD NEWS. although some people are disatisfied cos apparently they have selected another two groups, so resources will be split. (celina, you can just stop moping about how you can't have kenneth to yourself. its time to share. hahax ^^)

but besides that, met kenneth, the project manager of SCS yesterday. he talked to us about cancer and cancer patients, and seriously it just made me feel very bad. how many people ever make contingency plans for cancer? no one, cos there are virtually none. heck, maybe i will get cancer in the future. (touch wood, but it cannot be denied it is a possibility.) maybe someone i know will get cancer in the future. (OMG. SERIOUSLY TOUCH WOOD.) what then?

everyday, i complain about all sorts of things - teachers, lecturers, muscle aches, being tired out everyday, ridiculous homework, ridiculous college authorities. i would just like to say now,

im thankful i have teachers and lecturers because at least i have been given an education.
im thankful i have muscle aches, because that means i dont have paralysis.
im thankful that though i may be tired, there is always a bed and a home waiting for me.
im thankful for ridiculous college authorities, because without the ridiculous authorities there wouldnt be nj. its true.

lastly, IM THANKFUL FOR A GREAT FAMILY AND GREAT FRIENDS. they put up with my crap everyday, and yet i know i can lean on them/call them anytime. and without my family, there wouldnt be me, so that's pretty obvious.

oh, plus here id like to thank my great dad who, while he's still in singapore, wakes up in the morning to make milo for me. cheers, dad :)

here i hope that if we do get through ymca and when we get so busy i can hardly remember my own name, i'll remember that we're fighting for a worthy cause, and for people who are fighting everyday, as well, just to stay alive. and then, i'll be able to draw from that, and carry on.

GO, C'EST BON! i got a feeling that throughout this journey, there will be tempers, frustrations and a lot of people crying. BUT we'll get through, somehow.

....................................

LASTLY im happy with my PI! IT PASSED!! ok, so ms wan didnt exactly say yes, BUT she didnt exactly say no either. so i shall just assume the best case scenario in a pathetic attempt to make myself happy. but whatthecrap, i had to rewrite it twice, itd better be good.

anyway, when it comes to the crunch, im going to have to finetune the thing again anyway. mon dieu.



that's about all i have time for, its time to go to school :)
