physically drained

was offered a chance to volunteer my service with AVI (Assumption Vocational Institute) and i readily agreed to it.

the past two days was really tired, used up almost all of my energy but it was all worth it!! i had a great time interacting with the kids at AVI. each of them is unique in their own ways. they are really a bunch of very special kids and i enjoy working with them. to get their attention and cooperation, i need to come up with interesting topics to interact with them. of course there are kids who is really uncooperative and i need to be really patients with them. it was not that difficult for me to click with them despite our age difference.

on the first day i was assigned to work as a station IC, job was to control the game flow, interact with them, explain to them rules and instruction, blah blah.. i had to constantly encouraged them and let them know that YES YOU CAN DO IT!! GOOD JOB PEOPLE!! some of the boys were mischievous but i know that they meant no harm as they just wanted to have their share of fun.


it was the amazing east coast race on the second day. was assigned to lead a team round the whole east coast. i was pretty worried at first as i do not know my way well east cost that well and it was after all my first time trying out as a team facilitator. but guess what?? we, THE RED TEAM WON THE FIRST PRIZE!! WOOOOHOOooO!! they were all very enthu about the whole race. very cooperative and i had to thank them for not giving me any problem during the whole race. great job team :) you made it!! im so proud of you..

I SAW THE MONSTER!! HAHA, anyway it's zack the monster. it was raining no umbrella thus he came up with this really 'creative' way to shelter himself from the rain. hahaha. and guess what? i told him that 'eh you look like a freak!' :P

AND THE KIDS WERE SUPER EVIL TO THROW ME INTO THE SEA TWICE!! TWICE!!! TWICE!!!!!!!! OMG.. but still it was really really fun...

i seriously dont mind quitting my job and offer them my service.. i totally enjoyed what i am doing. it's definitely feels better to be working with kids than some shit ADULTS. i felt like a human while im with the kids and not being treated like some dumb ass (in the fucking office).
