today's my last day of work at The Children's Workplace.
it has been sooo rewarding.
no doubt tiring, but it's every bit worth it.
they were supp to be hiring me, megan and steph but ms huiling said they couldn't afford to hire us cos they can't pay us. lik what on earth!
so steph and i, desperates for cash, went to look for a job.
so far, we have 3 "maybe"s.
it's either
1) Simply Bread
2) Haagen Dazz
3) Mr. Prata
haha!talk abt weird choices.so anyway.we shld know by the end of this week.i think.
from this whole job attachment thing our school assigned us, i've learnt so many things.
for one, i've learnt patience.
if you know me personally, you shld know that i'm rather..hehheh.impatient.
i'm the kind that wants to see results NOW.
i want many things quick and efficient.
but after being arnd kids for so long, patience is the key.
they take abt 15 mins to settle down for snacktime.
and abt 3mins to wash their hands.
and 3mins to peepee.
so..you get the point.haha.
and i've learnt that as much as i LOVEEEE kids, they are NOT easy to take care.
practically everything has to be safe.
water has to be poured into the cup 1/3 full to prevent spillage.
you have to be ready to ans weird questions like "why can't you see stars in the day?".
you've gotta be able to not be grossed out by their saliva.
gotta assist them in blowing their noses.
aiya.just so many many things.
but sth i've learnt thru this whole thing is that you gotta know when to discipline them.
children are my soft spot.
sometimes, a smile and a 'pwease mish yen" makes me go "ahhh alright".
but now i've learnt when it's necessary to give a 5min timeout.
i know, all these sounds so trivial,but it matters!least to me la.
ha!wait till you get your own kids.
least me steph and megan would know how to change diapers.
and know how to make baby food colourful and appetizing.
haha!
and you know what?
i've grown to be addicted to these kids.
surprise surprise.
dammit.
yesterday anna and i went to sentosa yesterday.
i had wished with all my heart for the sun to come out after soooo many rainy days.
to no avail.
tho it din rain, it was still pretty cloudy.
we played volleyball for abt 5hours with strangers and slowly became friends.
haha.
now spare my a moment to complain.
my arms now have little red blue black and green bruises.
and there are mini cuts on my legs cause of the sand.
which hurts like HELL when i bath.
and i ache sooo bad.
i cant even take off my shirt or brush my teeth without cringing in the process.
i had a leg cramp in the middle of last night while i was still sleeping.
majorly PAINFUL.
poor old me.
everybody go awwww.
haha!
but it was great fun yesterday.
took loads of photos which i'm STILL too lazy to upload (sorry!).
met a gal named Vincci(yes, the shoe shop name) and her gang and played vball with them.
played with a bunch of 24-year-olds who used to be secondary schmates but were there for their reunion-thingie, and played vball with them.
met this model lik girl(1.75m) called amelia, who looks ALOT like Gina from America's Next Top Model, and her stout bf who's pretty good at volleyball.
had this death match with a bunch of indians who were PRETTY nice.
and ate at yoshinoya with Vincci and company.
went home and collapsed on my bed.
fun eh?=)
looking forward to tmr's job-looking and wed's shoot.
then sleeping the whole of thurs and going to sentosa again of fri.
then have a dance thingie to attend on sat and
family day on sun.
