I AM SO TIRED!!!!

I just woke up again.. yes again.. After the chalet from 20-22nd, i had no energy left in me. Reached home, and rested for an hour or so before i had to go to P.S for my guitar lesson. Wah seh... i think my guitar teacher see my face also sian diao. lol

Got home, ate v.little and cldnt slp. When i eventually did it was 11+. And i thot i could finally have my beauty, uninterupted sleep at long last. But no...! B4 i even slept half the amt of time i wanted, i was rudely awakened by my bro cuz my mom was on the line. To my horror, i found out tt i overslept and i had to go for a wedding mass which i totally forgot about it. So in 10 minutes i was out of the house running to the church.

When it ended at ard 12 i slowly made my way back home again... Played abit of comp games and tried to get more sleep. And here i am now.. awake again because i'm hungry =p but tired and lifeless.. haha. But guess it was all worth it cuz i had a whale of a time in the past 3 days. lolx

Its finally over!! My SL project was on working with the kids aged 5-10 at an hougang center and our main theme was "Teamwork" and i was in charge of games. So here are my thots on it..

16th December

When all the kids came.. i waited n hoped to get a quick peek at my buddy... Alas! In the end she did not come. Only later did it prove to be more than a blessing in disguise.. Intro n stuff, i tried to get the kids in my grp to open up more n talk to us... I had Frankie, Shi ling and Kangli in my grp as the 'gors' and 'jies' After much thot and one sided conversation with me speaking, we all agreed to call ourselves "The Blue Incredibles"(what a nice name right?)

Ice breakers soon followed and thankfully the kids were not yet hyper n high yet so my game went well. Had to cancel sm games cuz of time constrains. Lunch was superb =D The kids prepared their own sandwiches n so did i... So i reapply helped myself with all the ingredients *ahem. Alot what! The station games that followed also went very well.. Quite much according to my plan, the rotation was smooth n stuff... Juz that e kids prob didnt understand what teamwork is all abt... To explain everythg was too cheem.. Art n craft then i left to collect the class tee... its v. sleek except the design was abit flawed.. nvtheless, well done kelvin!!

After everythg Mr Tham treated us to Macs! The best part was that we all found out we didnt need to complete the maths assignment. Hahaha!! Song bo?! Played Daytona until hv blister >.< nad danced para para with in the arcade with the guys n a few gals.

17th December

Woke up early n poped my contacts on b4 leaving. Usual thgs n games again! Poison ball was very fun for the kids, i saw that they really enjoed themselves and i was very happY =D Dog n bone as well. After which, I helped Alger(a kid in my grp) with his art, making a x-mas card. Games again, and i took them for the ping pong ball relay... Oh tian.. that was horrible.. Firstly, my plan was not with me, and the some part of the games cldnt be played cuz the kids cant do it.. Then this guy had sm problem la.. smthg wrong with his brain. Too hyper or duno what, he juz ran to me and jumped on me but only got as high as my leg when i was giving instuctions halfway... got quite pissed and felt like giving him one good swing and throw him back to his place... Only thg he was too fat and i controled myself. lol. Other than tt, okay lor..

Mr Tham treated us in the thai-chinese resta. haha. hmmm. Played pool n reached home at 12 just like that last night.. hahha. SL's quite fun actually =)

After some thought, i decided to cycle to the pool today, but first i had to dig out that old manual pump to put back some life into my bike.... After trying to put some air into my tires for some time, i started to wonder why isn't it getting any tougher to pump, my tire ain't growing 'bigger' too! To my horror, the pump tube had holes in it.. ~ugh~.

So.. i some how managed to get it sorted out and by the time i was on my way i found out that the tires are unevenly pressure...

But the gd thing was tt swimming was fun! Nicer than running.. loads better. Starting to realise a pattern.. Pool gets quite crowded after 6. I even bumped into a few ppl along the way, hv to siam here n there and with my goggles were like all fogged up, it didnt help.

So the colour is not v. obvious..Anyway, today went to sch thot can do a dry run of the guitar games.. turned out only 4 out of.. 15 exco ppl were there! Pathetic. Everyone seems to be down with a fever. We settled the games equipment with the PE dept n saw AJ vs st pats in a soccer match.. didnt see zhi kai anywhere tho'

Went to amk to buy the food stuff for the prizes and the drink were super heavy... luckily we only got the packet drinks.. had it been the carton of canned drinks, i think i wld have diEd carrying it all ard amk n back to sch! So, left me, bernice, ya li n beng chong. went to eat branch(first time ya li heard of the word), NTUC and popular before buying cloth for the banners and back to AJ. I think the envolope thing would be a success. =) *whew. tough day
