I had an eventful day today! Kinda enjoy meaningful days like this. Its a charis day today :) And I asked her to bring me along to rcs. Had the sudden urge to volunteer there. I'm glad I went. I had fun volunteering! It was the same feeling I had when I volunteered at All Saints Home/Metta. There were a number of highlifers volunteering there, Josiah Liu was there too hahaha.

The kids were all so loud and rowdy. They kept the energy level high. And since it was my first time there, I wasn't familiar with the kids and their names. But it was real easy getting along with them! Alston cooked mee goreng during his home econs and we had a taste of it. It tasted real good!!!! It was sweet of him to leave some and bring back for us to eat.

Some others pooled and played table tennis. Then when it was time for them start on homework, they whinned. Haha! I taught (omg I forgot her name lol) how to read the protractor. She got it fast. But when we got to acute, right and obtuse angles, took a fairly longer time. Charis came over to help, yay thanks :) It was then I saw that she had cuts on her left hand. (Like 5 cuts)

Me: Did you cut yourself?!
She: (Tries to hide) Yeah..
Me: Don't do that next time okay. It doesn't help you.

At that instance, my heart kinda like ached. Really man. Anyway I taught Alston math too, algebra expansion. It was really tough teaching him, but I enjoyed it though. Kept telling him that when you open the brackets, the minus sign will change to plus. And he did correctly. But when he moved on to the next question. he'll be like hmmmmmm how to do ah. Really tested my patience! Hahaha then I will laugh at him and say remember what I told you just now? Took me quite long to teach him 1 - 6/7 = 1/7 too, with modal diagrams. It was really a slow paced learning. Now I get why teachers who teach NT classes are always fustrated. You need lots of patience!!! But I'm glad I had fun teaching him :)

Had life skills session after studying. They had to write something good they're at. I really hope that will build up their confidence. I dislike it when people despise NT kids. I mean they too have ambitions! Some wna be lawyer, policeman, vet, basketball coach. They inspire me with their ambitions because I haven't thought of mine yet hahaha.

Kids left home and we had the pool table to ourselves! Had a fun time laughing everyone. Charis's skills not bad!!! :) Took a lift back to pasir ris on Ernest's dad's car. Laughed alot in the car as well! Hahahaha seriously man. Super funny, cny songs mixed with rap and techno. Oswald was singing it!

Omg Charis, firework is playing on the radio now and I am mouthing to it. Hahaha bet its gna be stuck in my mind for at least an hour. Anyway I enjoyed today charis, plus your company too hehe love you! :)
