Went to Chen Shu Lan Children's Home in serangoon. Past by a familiar place which brings back memories of her bringing me over for lunch. I can still remember she went to the nearby mac to look for one of her relatives who is working over there. Ages ago though.. Ok lets not side track. Reached the children's home and help out with some moving of stuff. As we are short of time, the whole programme begins almost immediately. Starting from the breakdance by two guys. But seriously speaking, i dont think is a good idea. Kids might start learning and injured themselves. Shall speak up the next time. Next is chinese dance by a very beautiful young lady. The kids dont really appreciate that though. Can see that they are bored. Lol.. Followed by magic performance. Uncle bob is kinda good at it ya. He managed to catch all the kids attention. Lastly will be game session for both volunteers and the children together. Some of them dont really wanna participate. I noticed one of the girls, maybe aged 13-15. Kinda rebellious. She formed her own group of girls sitting at one corner. Somewhat like the da jie da over there. When distributing goodies, she gave the "wtf are you giving it to me expression and rolled her eyes". She needs some counselling. If not one day she might just take on the wrong path.. Sigh.. After everything, due to time constraints, we got to hurry off. A kinda short trip. But managed to interact with some of the kids. When taking group shots, one of the kids still sit on my lap when i squat down. How cute. Haha.. I asked him what is his name. He then decided to write on his notebook instead of saying it out. He wrote "Dane" on his pad. So i said "Your name is dane"? After looking at his own writing, he realised he forgot to add in I and L. So he inserted them into "Dane" and becomes "Daniel". Super cute la. What to expect from a kid of 7 years old right? Haha.. Got the contact number of the place. Thinking of going back as volunteer instead of a visitor. Must plan my schedule first. I foresee a tight time constraint on my side.
Ok, let me talk a bit more of the kids there. Their age range is roughly from 5-15 or perhaps 16. Some of them, parents are in jail therefore seek shelter in the children's home. There are those whose parents decided that they cannot control them anymore and enrolled the child to the home. To make it simple, most of them are kinda problematic and needs help from people. I saw one boy snatch things from others and even threatened to use his punches. It might be quite difficult to help them to the right path. But if given a chance, i am willing to. =)
I think liting should enjoyed herself? Another girl helped her to tie hair! Haha.. Went century square for dinner with her. Walked around for a little while before i realised i am falling asleep. Lol.. Getting old and useless.. Cant even tolerate not sleeping for a day. Reached home, KO after 15mins? Haha..
