MINDS CAMP Day 1

going to dentist to check my gums..coz it hurts lately..one tooth growing out of the gums..out the way manz..think it's wisdom tooth..so wanted to get it checked..if need to extract can do so before i go for taiwan..but then i went at like 10plus..got one patient le..doing the braces..so wld take a long time..i cant wait..need to pick gladys up..so i juz went off..

was late to pick gladys up to haf lunch with her mum..so i took cab from her hse to amk hub..we haf the noodles there..my treat coz last time her mum treat me too..then we headed to wait for bus to bring us..

long time nv see these kids le..kinda of miss them..haoming told his mum he wans to follow me but not jiurong.haha..so funny..saw carisse..if she's not here..i think i won't be enjoying well too..kind of my clique here..yee en's parents brought their grand daughter there too..so cutez..still a baby..heez..nice catching up with the vols.

i brought a kid to toilet..when back, kids & vols haf boarded the bus le..gladys was so nice to carry my bag up for me..& she kept mine with her..i was lookin for her bag..she put on the seats behind her..looks like my belongings are more impt than hers ahz..haha..

on the way we talked abt the minds camp this yr..looks like a lot of cock up..they cldn't finalise the program & venue till darn last min..coz this time round..the regulations are more strict..then they were saying that the pd is not doing well..coz the person shd send us email but they din till jie ying went to shoot an email..seriously lohz..the norm was to send email..i was waiting for email..then one sun night at 12am..received a call from the minds camp pd..he straightaway asked if i can come for the camp..w/o telling me the purpose of call lehz..12am plus..if i'm sleepng, i wld scold him..but i said very stern..i asked why did he make this call? coz it's not the norm practice..haha..in the end, lee ping said i also cannot be bullied onez..she reminded me of an incident where weijun was trying to pull my hair & i do aikido defence on him..well i dun rem..haha..natural reflex? wahaha..i heard that the minds camp was outsource to nus pple(non-nvac pple) & CJC..we really hard up for pple..dunno why..i think same case for aikido bahz..guilli minds are also facing shortage of pple..dunno if they are closing up soon..we offered to combine but they dun wan..maybe the dist too far..

are pple nowsadays juz wan to study & no enjoyment? sianz lahz..no life..

soon we reached chinese high..i think last yr acid camp was here..or 2 yrs back..not sure..but here is not a bad place..it started off quite badly..dunno where to put our stuffs..nvm..then some ice breaker games..quite like the hopscotch onez..but a lot of waiting time..darn sianz..tot acid camp was bad enough..this is the worst minds camp i ever attended..so boring..too much waiting time..i think becoz they outsource to other pple..so they wldn't know the sole purpose of the camp..then wat best was the facilitation time! u know wat is it abt? why got facilitation time? for the committee members..faintz..then they broadcast march of the penguins for kids & us to watch..for goodness's sake..how can the kids understand & interested to watch? then a lot of waiting time..then dinner..

then rehearsal practice..sth like M&M..erm..we used to haf performance put up by kids during the concert lohz..finale of the camp..now they juz do M&M..wat are they going to learn? anyway..was darn tired lahz..need to take care of two kids..we are really short of pple manz..the first time i haf to take care of 2 kids thru out the camp..usually it's only 1 day..coz usually fri, working pple can't make it early..luckily gladys dotes ai chinn..so i haf not much prob...& gladys is an independent kid..i juz need to spend effort on ai chinn..

banner making session was not too bad..they get to use their hands to make hand prints..haha..kids like the messy things..wahaha..so they do enjoyed themselves..

ai chinn ate little..but i'm rather happy today..coz i managed to feed her to finish the dishes in the lunch box & most of the rice + 1 slice of watermelon..her appetite looks better than the last minds camp where i took care of her on fri..juz one day..so i roughly know how to make her eat..juz force her to eat till she refused..u can let her eat on her own..but after a while, she will stop..then u can feed her liaoz..i very bad onez..will force her to eat..this time round, she stored all her food in her mouth..dun chew..so i asked her to spit them out..then she looked interested in watermelon..so feed her & she finished one..then i very bad..not willing to give up on her dinner..so i went to feed her rice & some side dished..surprisingly she ate & continued till she dun wan..only left 2 of us eatin there..nvm..i ate my dinner rather fast before feeding her & gladys got a cjc vol to help me look after her..i think the cjc vol can't believe i managed to feed her..haha.i also din believe..was rather happy..

bathing is another thing i hardly help out for my kid..coz she's independent..but i need to help ai chinn..got wet a bit.but no choice..they only get to bathe at 10plus.water is darn cold..but i got no choice but to act fast lohz..then put them to bed & went off to bathe..

my star gazing session..with jiurong, carrisse,jie yin & wanping..haha..i think i set the trend liaoz..ever since the last acid camp in PJC..haha..where we saw couples of shooting stars.this time round, i only saw once tonight..carrisse saw a few..but we were like.."are u sure?" wahaha..wanping still din see..last time she din get to..this time too..haha..jie yin saw once tonight..she din get to see tt time..so she wan to try her luck..nice hanging out with them..well..i'm the eldest there..wahaha..

then went to sleep..
