Finally the day has come.I woke up early in the morning just to bring all the things to the children's home.After that I went to hougang mall to eat,I walked here and there.There was still so much time left.I met Yun Xing and Celine at hougang interchange.The rest did not tell me that they were meeting Cailing.But luckily,I asked,if not we could have been waiting there for nothing.When three of us got there,we could not find Nancy,but luckily,we found her before the rest came.We went to unpack our things at the hall.The rest came soon after.It was so hard to organise,I had to juggle between the children and my classmates.It is like no one listens to me.Initially,I wanted them one group to do jewellery making and I asked them to split into two groups.However none of them want to teach the children to do jewellery.Actually,it is not as difficult as they thought.I wanted to teach them initially but no one want to listen to me.The children are naughty.Once they come,they just took the materials and do their own things.Everyone was doing their own things,it was difficult for me to teach them the techniques to make the ice cream stick photoframe.Both parties did not want to cooperate with me.I was in a dilemma.Sometimes I feel so helpless,I dont want people to dont like me because of things like pw or CIP,but I have to do something to make the thing go according to plan.I know that some people in my class are unhappy with me,but I seriously dont know why.Why cant everyone just befriend each other and just enjoy being in the same class instead of hanging out in cliques and saying bad things behind people's back.I know if anyone in my class see this,they are going to say something again.But honestly,why cant everyone just accept everyone as what they are.Luckily,everything still went quite ok.Aunty Mabel,one of the person in charge,was quite displeased about me as I did not give them instructions on how to do the photoframe.But it was really difficult,they were not willing to listen to me.In the first place,the first event I had planned was ice breaking games.However,end up without knowing them,we have to teach them a craft.I did not even know that the crafts would be displayed or sold until Aunty Mable told me.I knew I have to do something.I tried to teach them.Some of my classmates tried to help.I feel so helpless when Aunty Mabel keep asking me is this what you call a photoframe when the children anyhow paste the macaroni onto the ice cream stick.I tried and teach a few,lucky for me they started to get interested in photo frame when they saw their friends doing.After they did,I tried to savage the beautiful pieces to make it look more like a photoframe.Everything was in a mess with macaroni and glitter all over the floor.Aunty Mabel was pleased with the pieces I have savaged.Some children were very helpful and helped with the mess.Time flies pass so fast.It was just a mere art and craft session but two hours had passed.
These are the end products of the art and craft session:
I initially plan to give them tea break,but there was no time,we ended up playing water BOMB.
Clarence came up with a game plan,the WAR,the children are suppose to throw water bombs at Cailing and Xinya to "earn"points.The war eventually became a real war,the children were so excited that they broke the styrofoam box used to hold the water bombs and threw it at us.They were so violent.I think alot of us were injured by their kicking and pushing.They played very rough.The WAR was a mistake.Some children who were playing badminton joined in the WAR and before you knew it,they were taking badminton rackets,attempting to hit us with it.It is like so dangerous.There was one guy who was our "protector",he had disabilities,but that did not stop him from protecting us.I was very touched.The rest were like discriminating our protector,throw his bag and even hit him.After which we went to the hall and miss Nancy,our saviour came.Although she is fierce,she is very effective,the children all listened to her.When she came, everything stopped.We went to the hall and see the dance.After which the rest went to play Lan,while Celine and I wait for miss Nancy to stamp the form.Without the forms,what they did would not be counted as CIP.After the admin stuff,we went home,Celine took taxi while I took bus 74.I learned alot from these CIP,organising is difficult.The things today did not go according to plan,I must learn to be more flexible.I was so tired,and tomorrow there is still choir.However,I am happy that tomorrow can see my baby!Yay!I really miss him alot.I want to see him and hug him.I hope that tomorrow will come soon.
