Today is an eventful day.
I've settled 10 hrs of my community service, while making numerous friends and having loads of fun at the same time. The day camp was packed with interesting programmes and the little kids who arrived for the camp were simply adorable. My little buddy was this 11-year-old girl who kept smiling and wrinkling up her nose at the same time, and then there was this other little boy who kept involving us in his game of Charade. In case you haven't heard the most efficacious of presenting the acted clues for a toilet bowl, it involves telling the rest that you have a button on your head and there is water flowing out of you. And the best way of being a duck is to waddle around calling "duck, duck!!". The management crisis in the morning had gotten most of us wet, and since some kids did not have a change of clothes, their jc buddies offered them their extra shirts they had with them. But of course, kids are generally smaller in size and they had to go around waddling in their gigantic shirts that hung down their knees for the rest of the day. Also, most of the kids produced fanstatic little monsters during the comic-drawing workshop and monstrous sushis for the sushi-making one. The food they created was delicious despite that fact, and was polished off almost instantly by the big buddies. Apart from the small little friends that I made, I got to know some of the JC1s too. Ling Ling, Michelle and Edward all make good working partners. Kenneth from judo was rather friendly too, and he drew some lovely pictures during the workshop. He was hanging around throughout the day camp though he wasn't involved in the project and somehow I managed to start a small conversation with him. Well, the J1s aren't any different from us seniors after all. A tad sunburnt now, and terribly exhausted from the day's activities, but it was effort well-spent. Rather than the common flag days and administration work that we are set to do at charitable organisations, this project has allowed us to interact with the rest of the community and to sample the humanity aspect of life. Indeed, this is the community service that should be promoted instead. The maiden spoke at 10:11 PM
