we went to children aid society yest for service learning. as much as the kids were having their own little fun, i enjoyed myself too. seeing all their smiles on their little cherubic faces brought the most satisfaction to me. there were occassional bawls and squabbles, v messy co-ordination(oxymoron!) at times but everything pulled off well. like many others, i wld say the kids in my grp enjoyed themselves most at the sponges and soap game. that, was the time when my kids were like the 'highest'. it was as though the cyclic nature of the game was their therapy- 5 rounds with hockey stick , 5 star jumps. limbo across the string then throw urself on the dirty soup water and grab as many sponges as u can, then repeat. my grp won the ballerina game but lost monster.

all in all, i must say my grp wasn't the most enthu or anything. 2 of them were bout p1 at most? n the other 2 guys- dennis and weisheng were p5. so there was kind of a communication breakdown. have to admit that i spent most of my time with the two younger ones cos they always apparate. ya..so if i were to do the project again, i will try to spent more time with the elder ones.

i like to do social wk, but it can be v tiring or traumatising, for many kinds of reasons. as for now, its time to study again! n look forward to the visit to old folks' home!
