Service Learning

Yesterday was a fun but tiring day. Went for service learning in the morning at Holland Aveune, a childcare centre. I left home at about 0730 when we were supposed to meet at 0830 but got caught in a jam which resulted in me being the last one to reach there at 0840. At first i thought it was going to be a relaxing and boring day but what turned out was the other way round. We went into the daycare centre and was divided into 2 different groups which was our 2 different physics classes. My group was in charge of playing with children from 2-5 years of age. We sang songs and played games like london bridge and simon says with them. They are all quite smart as they were able to follow our instructions closely. Time passes when we are having fun, in a blink of an eye was their lunch time and we had to seperate the children into different groups to play musical chairs. One of them even cried when he was pulled out of the game.. and miss tan was unable to comfort him as he cried even louder. The children were very active as we were all dead-tired after the games but they still had the energy to run about and "tau pok" us. We had a really fun but tiring day at the daycare centre and we hope to see them soon during national day celebration!!

Sentosa Beach Volleyball

After service-learning, we went to Carl's Junior At PS to have a drink before going to Sentosa. We played "zhong ji mi ma" there and clint had to pay one dollars to buy us fries to eat. After that, wei hao, zi yi and i took NEL to Harbourfront station to meet up with the ODACers. It was not much of an ODAC activity but a ODAC outing instead. There were onli 13 ppl there including the task force. We went to Siloso Beach for beach volleyball and played there for around 3 hours. Strangely, all the ODACers did not know how to play volleyball as well as i expected. Thus, we managed to play 6 games instead of the proposed 3 games. After the activity and the de-briefing was the fun part. We went into the water and started "tau-pok-ing" ppl in the sand, making ourselves sandy. Went to bathe and change before going to the food junction at harbourfront shopping centre for dinner. A tiring but fun day.. reached home at around 2240.
