MINDS CAMP

今天又被氣到。。

啊你是怎麼了？

你不是甚麼都知道嗎？

為甚麼還明知故問？？

兩個禮拜。。

我已經做到了。。

而且還能從自己之前做的東西做個小結論。。

那她到底一年在做甚麼？

心照不宣。。

你可能說是因為我比較資深。。

那時間花得少是理所當然。。

可是東西真的没那麼難做。。

我真的覺得被反咬一口。。

我當初幫她想她可以做甚麼。。

她什麼也没做。。

我被下阻客令。。

我得從新想點子。。

讓她做，給她ideas，卻被她拖著。。

還被她咬一口。。

結果一年了。。

我還是得從頭做起，自己做！

她到底有沒有想過自己有沒有一丁點錯？

我想，現在的年輕人只會覺得自己是對的。。

別人不可以虧待自己。。

老實說，沒有人覺得她是個用功的學生。。

可以說她一點也不受歡迎。。

但只有我敢怒敢言。。

所以好像我在針對她。。

原來，她喜歡這樣的表面工夫。。

我真的學會很多。。

對人不要抱著想教好她，就算不是work。。

而是人身態度。。

虧我還想幫她vet report。。

還好没做。。大家都叫我不要浪費時間。。

原來不止我一個不信任她的results。。

原來我真的不要那麼“出面”討厭人。。

我學會了。。

如果我真想刁難她，後期她得用我的東西時，我就不讓了。。

試想想她的企圖，只是想報復！

超childish！！

“你不能給她看喔！”

連大人也這樣。。

八卦、告狀。。

無聊，小學生的遊戲嗎？

還蠻想念YCK MINDS。

看到gladys真的很開心。。

她還記得我的名字。。

謝謝妳。。

Jie Yin's 21 Bdae

went to cafe cartel in marina square..real ulu..at carls junior there..ordered hawaii pork chop..really bad choice..darn big portion..3 big pieces of pork chop..i really can't finish it..only ate 2 & i felt so sick of it liaoz..next time shall nv order this alone..really made me felt guilty in wasting food..but no one there can help me finish the last piece & i really really can't finish it..=(

Jie Yin，生日快樂！！

大一歲了。。

要像个大人嘛！

歡迎妳到大人的世界。。哈哈！

再見了，YCK MINDS GARDEN SCH!

我今天才知道。。原來，學校將永遠走入歷史了。。

我一直以為。。學校只是將換上新面貌。。

沒想到。。今天應該是我真正最後一次踏上這裡了。。

還好我抽空下來了。。

負責帶點食物的我，準備了potato salad。。

時間不夠用。。

從學校回來。。我只在兩點完成。。

只好坐240（以前是，現在何止240呀！）去。。

有點被騙。。

並不是兩點開動。。

害我急急忙忙的。。

早知道就不浪費錢了。。

節目表：玩遊戲、畫畫、吃東西、欣賞表演、回憶錄、拍照。。

就記得的是。。回憶錄。。

不知怎麼了。。

竟然會胸口怪怪的、酸酸的。。

看到他們小時候的照片。。

看到他們現在都長得高高的、成熟的臉。。

聽到媽媽們都說：“都長到這麼大了！好快啊！”。。

真的。。時間飛逝！

最後看到學校的面貌。。

想到他們在這裡成長。。

想起我兩年前跟他們的回憶。。

跟他們在這裡每個角落的點點滴滴。。

一座古典的學校。。

一座我會覺得可能會不乾淨的學校（哈哈！）。。

一座我還想過以後可以在這裡教書的環境。。

真的要走入歷史了。。

真的有點捨不得。。

這裡有我們的回憶。。

有我那時跟大家辛苦地擺好遊戲的時候。。

跟小孩們一起玩遊戲、學習的回憶。。

如今，這回憶真的只能放在心裡了。。

想要回味的話，也没辦法去到學校走走、回憶著。。

真的只能用我那還没衰退的腦袋。。

和没生命的照片回憶了。。

真可惜。。我的小孩沒來。。

我還真有點想念她。。

再見了。。

曾經讓我能跟大家一起學習、一起努力、一起開心的地方。。

讓孩子們能學一技之長、嘗試得到獨立的機會。。

我會永遠記住你的存在。。

再見了。。

MINDS CAMP Day 2

woke up a few times to check on ai chinn..she needs to go toilet sometimes..she was sound asleep..but when i checked on her ard 7am..i saw her sleeping out of the mattress..tot of putting her back to the mattress & found that she wet her bed..oh no..i think i neglected her..din sleep besides her to check if she needs to go toilet.coz she won't call me..she wld juz make sign language..it's my fault.so i juz get her to change & wash her pants..

then after tt, i get gladys to wash up as well..this took me the whole wake up timing & i haven wash up..haha..then i asked my friend to help me take them for breakfast while i go wash up..no choice..really feel tt i'm like mother..haha..kiddin..

knowing that rh is comin to join us for swimming & sentosa..rather happy..then jeffrey was teasin that i got the charm to make him come..haha..he haven come for quite long..but glad tt he came to help out..if not his kid wld only depends on jiaqing..haha.

cldn't go down waters to bring gladys & ai chinn to play..& most of my friends also cannot..well there's one vol who took care of amelian last time..juz forgot her name..she din go down coz she can;t swim..well actually dun need to swim with the kids..juz take care of them..esp ai chin need someone to carry her..but in the end, ai chinn juz sat by the pool side to play with water..then she brought ai chinn to bathe..she was assigned to help me out today..only today..to ai chinn..so i haf more time for gladys..but well, it seems tt i'm still the only one taking care of the 2 kids..coz she said she wan to go put make up..ermz..well..

after swimming, we headed to sentosa..for animal shows..looks rather dark sky..like going to rain..better dun rain..if not it wld be too boring..but it's also scorching..weird lahz..was sitting there.waitin for the show to start under the sun..the vol went to get new pairs of sandals for herself coz her lady-like shoes is spoiling..oh well..anyway, din buy cold drinks for the kids coz i dun wan to give them soft drinks..plus only me with them..so cant go off..luckily rh offered to buy drinks for me..so i asked him to get cold mineral water for them..i very strict hor..wahaha..my kids in future will suffer..wahaha..

ai chinn was all the way lookin down..like tired or showing her temper again..well being evil me, i can;t be bothered after a few tries..but when rh brought the cold mineral water back, she looked up lohz..so eager to drink..oh..i din realised it's too hot for them..so she wanted cold drinks very much..rh brought surplee for me..but i cant really finish..so i shared with him..juz drank a bit then passed back..i dun wan the kids to ask me for it..not very nice also..since i dun wan them to drink..

then as it was ard 315pm..then suddenly another zoo keeper came over to ask us to go over to the other side to see monkey first..really great experience for the kids..can see some of them are daring enough to let money climb onto their shoulders..some wanted but scared..some juz scared to go close to it..gladys wan to touch but too many kids in front to block her way..always haf to keep askin her to go in front..like 皇后不急太監急.in the end i also get to high five with monkey..very cutez..ai chinn get to high five too..haha..cutez..then we headed back to wait for the animal show..then the com gave out 雨衣 for the kids..really looks like going to rain soon..

then the cjc girl, shermaine, bought cold drink back for herself & ice cream back for the other vol..the kids also wan it..i think gladys is more guaiz..she wans it but she wont ask for it unless i offer..but ai chinn, being young, wld yearn for it..she kept looking at the vol..seriously..tt's why i dun drink cold drinks if i dun wan them to drink..i know they wld see & it's not very nice lohz..then she kept asking me whether can buy soft drinks for 2 of them..but i refused..i dunno if they wld haf stomach upset if they had too much..i know gladys is ok..but i'm nt sure abt ai chinn..and pls..i'm the only one looking after them tonight.u can simply juz 拍拍屁股走人..i'm juz selfish..dun wan them to haf stomach upset..in the end, both the kid & me will suffer..we still haf to stay in sentosa till late night then head back to campsite..not like in the past, the kids can go sleep early if they are too tired..now they can;t..which is a concern for me..coz usually the first night kids are too excited to sleep..then they tend to sleep early on the 2nd night which is today..so we haf to juggle lohz..

the animal shows is cutez..the interaction b/w the zoo keepers & the parrots..haha..i think i'm still childish bahz..then it started to pour..so we rushed to the opp..gladys had umbrella so she lent us..then rh wan to lend me his..but he needed to go off soon..i haf one..but back in campsite..slipped off my mind to put in my pouch..faintz..then we spent a lot of time waitin for the bus to take us the pavillion..well i feel shd cancel & go back to sch..but i think everything is fixed..so cannot move back..ok..then they let the kids to board the bus 1st..so 2 kids to 1 vol..at least got pple there to take care..then i asked the vol..let her go with my 2 kids..well rh was asking why i din go with them..coz i'm the best choice..haha..coz i took care of them all the way..but why i let the vol coz she kept telling me why vol dun haf the 雨衣..WTH! darn obvious lahz..let the kids haf first..then even got extra for vols, won't be enough for all..so might as well dun give out..this is COMMON SENSE LAHZ..then she very 姑娘..i can't stand it..let her go rest with the kids bahz..i tot she got some courtesy tt at least she muz know the situation to let me go with the kids since i;m with them all the way..but nvm lahz..juz dun wan her to talk to me..quite sianz to hear the nonsense..haha..dunno come here to be pretty or to take care of kids.

i think ai chinn too tired..dun wan to go for carnivals..so i let her rest & took gladys to play..but i very bad onez..i made gladys go back with her nice fingernails from tt station & tempted ai chinn to come play..coz i dun wan her to rest there & missed the fun..my plan worked manz..not bad lahz..she played some of the games..

she's haven been eating much today..angry with her..but haf to make her eat..we haf kfc for dinner..well another stunt by the vol..she dun take meat..i took whipped potato for the kids to share..coz they asked us to share only..then she said she shall take the potato..well shdnt; u go get on ur own?watever..

the toilet is not very near the pavillion..haf to walk all the way out..i'm been taking gladys & ai chinn going toilet freq..at different times..not tt i wan to..but i did ask either of them when one wans to visit toilet..haha..so in the end, jeffrey was like "wow..u are the one taking kids to go toilet right..haha" coz he kept seeing me walking to toliet to & fro umpteen times..i think he din know i took care of 2 kids..tot i'm the special one to take kids to toilets..haha..then i haf to bring ai chinn out to walk while feeding her to whipped potato & ribena..at least made her haf few sips..tot walking ard might be a gd choice..but also fail..haha..but ok lahz..better than staying in pavillion..faintz..i'm like mother lohz..

we got special queue for songs of the sea..the new musical fountain..oh..it's darn nice!! too bad rh left le..while we headed to pavillion.shd come watch..but haf to queue for very long..it's not bad..i quite like..but some parts funny lahz..using singing to save a sleeping princess..but the backdrop are gd..all the way, ai chinn was sleeping..wasn;t sitting besides her..if not, being evil me will try to make her watch..like get gladys to bring her along..it's gd u know..let gladys gain more social contact & make ai chinn leave her own world also..haha..after the show, we haf to wait for the bus..ya..wait wait wait!!! let ai chinn sit down while waiting lohz..i can sense she's real tired le..coz she kept signalling to me tt she wans to sleep..so ke lianz..but she cant sleep now till she's on bus..then best..they made us walk here & there..wrong direction & FINALLY to the bus..

get the kids to bathe..ai chinn got the vol to bathe her..so i can rest for a while..but i took her back & blew dry her hair..coz tt vol is SMART enough to bring hair dryer..not bad lehz..for the kids..i can consider bringing one next time for the kids..then ai chinn became awake..coz of the sleep at songs of the seas & the bus..one of the reason i wan her to play her most during the day..so the kids wld sleep well at night..i think most wld agree with me lohz..wahaha..she began hungry liaoz so i let her haf some snacks then slept..

asked the vol to help me to see her to bed while i went to bathe..before she left..went with my clique..we went for star gazing after bathing..after i made sure ai chinn had slept well..this time round i need to sleep besides her so if she wan to go toilet, i'll be ard..cant see shooting stars tonight..realised tt carisse tot she saw one but it's not..haf a great chat with the girls..i juz like them over others..was telling jie yin my opinions of the few vols in our grp..like they came here to chat with friends instead of taking care of kids..i juz dun like it..supposed to be their duty to take care of kids..but they spent their time talking..well if u wan to talk,u can talk at night..when they all slept..but need to check in on them sometimes lahz..but not during the day or watz..can talk but not too engrossed that u ignore ur kid lohz..darn bu shuang lahz..i tot i'm the only one having cynical tots..but jie yin agreed with me too..wow..haha..while we were talking, we saw jianwen walking ard..he's asking for jianlong..we tot he went with others for supper..but he's actually sleeping soundly..when we told jianwen tt gor gor is outside, he's like going to cry..so we bluff him lahz & pei me back to his room..he lost his way..feeling scared..luckily back now..

then jieying, lee ping & ann came..we stopped this coz i dunno if they wld agree with us..they are seniors..anyway was saying tt yi ai took after lingzi lohz..haha..the way they walk..the same onez..then ann was saying true..but ann, being yi ai's vol, also sama sama..ha..all not lady-like..but ann is a funny character..love talking to her..we were talking abt the 色戒 RA version..darn funny the way ann talks..laughed till i got stomachache..but like her company..but she also talks like lingzi..she was like "dun link me with lingzi lehz.." haha..but i juz cant stopped feeling so..nice talk with jieying, lee ping, ann, carisse, jie yin, lyndon & huixian..

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..

morning exercise was great! reminds me of the spore workout we did in our sec yrs..it's a gd workout manz..though i din really follow closely, i still sweat lohz..but it might be difficult for middle-level kids..need to follow rythmes & the actions..but overall, it's fun..heez..

breakfast...i'm so hungry..heez..cakes, milo & some kueys..then headed for WEST COAST..the rest stayed in PJC hall for obstacles course..we had our obstacles course at West Coast park..a very sunny day..gladys had stomach upset..been going to toilet for a few times..really worrying..but she said it's nt diarrhoea..the obstacle course was nt bad..asking them to stand & balance on the planks(for the workout)..tt soon hui..as usual like to bicker with me..sabo me to shout cheer for the group..i dun care..wahaha..

then we headed to IMM for some shopping..they were given some $$ to buy wat they wana..then pay at the counter themselves..then after tt, they were paired to find an item on the pic & find it..then hand over to the GLs..it's nt easy but i hope they are more used to supermarkets now..overall the program was ok..but the instructions were nt clear..quite messy..

lunch at NUS Science canteen..ya..i din know tt..ha..come back here..we were quite late le..coz other groups already here le..heard tt they took MRT on their own to certain places before heading here..so coolz..they were given coupons to buy their lunch..an idea from us i think..the uncle who at the drinks stall recognised me..he's very friendly onez..then ming suan took my hp to take a lot of pics..she can take gd pics..

we headed back to PJC to rest..before going for great performance..there's a sing-a-long session..of coz gladys enjoyed it..she gets to sing the pop songs..seeing how ann makes kenneth smiles..i really pei fu her..with jieying & ann, kenneth enjoyed the camp..my first time seeing him smiled so much..he also wished to sleep in the girls's room..haha..the choir was great..with guitarists & percussion..but the pple who sang..erm..ok lahz..only two nt tt gd..but it's ok..they brought up the atm le..

following next was the balloon sculpturing..wow!! even i was looking at it so attentively..it's a great performance..the person was darn expert..can bring up the atm to the highest..seeing them rushing towards him to request for balloons..then weijun wan them too..his vol best..went to the backstage & got him one..then weijun came over & 'showed off' to everyone of us..so cutez..heez..then i asked gladys to go for it..wan her to go for things tt she wan..dun rely on pple to help her..luckily besides the guy, there was another girl who made balloons for them..so gladys got a wrist balloon..it's super nice lohz..heez..in the end, lingzi & me started to make dogs for them too..sub-standard onez lahz..then as i twisted, i was rather scared coz had experience tt it burst at my hand..then daniel was covering his ears when he heard the squeeky sound..this performance was great!! but the only regret was the person din come to our side & stayed tt long..i tot he would be at the carnival..to make balloons for the kids..

dinner time!! i kept telling lee ping tt weijun is darn cutez..then she cannot stand it..told me tt got quota onez..only 5 times a day..cannot exceed quota..heez..following was The Pirates' Carnival..there was a slideshow on the pics taken earlier on..pretty coolz..to let them see themselves up there..there were abt 8 stations, one movie place & two snack stalls in the canteen..there was ice cream..when gladys heard tt,she was very happy..but coz she kept going toilet this afternoon so i told her she cannot eat..immediately, i saw the disappointment in her face plus some tantrums lahz..but no choice, had to forbid her..i know now she won't listen to me..so later then tell her again..then tt dumb dumb soon hui exclaimed happily in front of her: "yeah..can eat ice cream!!" then i stared at him..then he oopz sorry..we went to the stations in the hall first, before going for the snacks break..there were pirates' hats making station, coloring, tempt tattoos, memory game, shooting games..nt bad lahz..

then we went to hall to get some snacks..once again, i told her she cannot get ice cream but i can let her take more pop corns..haha..it sounds stupid lahz..but the thing is i juz feel like better dun take cold stuffs..tt;s all..surprisingly, she agreed!! she really grows up..i'm glad..coz i think in the past, she wld juz throw tantrums..another thing tt i feel glad was..when i told her weijun cutez or watz, she wld ignore me..then now she wld tell me when she saw weijun..a change? i think so..heez..next time i wld buy her ice cream for being an obedient girl..she used to not sharing stuffs with other pple except those she likes..but now when i ask her to do so, she wld do in the end..heez..juz feel happy tt she changes for the better..

thereafter, it's their disco night..but becoz it was hot & humid day..she felt very uncomfortable and refused to join in the dance steps..maybe she felt it's nt fun..but usually when she throws tantrums, i very bad onez..i wld ignore her..she even refused to join in the disco night which i heard tt she likes it onez..well, i think i very bad also..in the end, i sort of scold her..nt tt kind of scream or watz..but juz told her.."ok u dun wan to dance, then we go back lohz..if nt we join them.."seeing other pple playing so fun..i juz let her stand there lohz..but after a while, i asked her again..sort of persuade her..like asking her to go with ai ching..see her friends on stage..i know she feels very hot & uneasy..but tt time i think i too tired also..i juz wan her to enjoy the disco night..i knows wat she likes..so i asked her if she wan to go up to stage to dance..with her friends (some she got tell me onez)..in the end, she agreed..well she dances darn gd lahz..gd rythme control..better than me..haha..after tt, ok le..

then bathed & sleep..well she's an obedient & sweet gal..dun need much supervision..she can sleep well on her own..i juz need to make sure she slept then i can go off to bathe too..luckily we went rather early..nt a lot of pple..then carisse & i decided to go star gazing again..wanted to jio tf along..but she was held up by meeting..carisse & i met jieyin & ashlyn at the grand stand..we were talking then the security guard went up to us:"Girls, so late le..why u girls nv join the rest at the canteen?" erm..he's very weird lahz..muz be too sianz..then come disturb us..there were other guys along the grandstand also..ignore..then he came back after tt:"dun stay out too late..there are a lot of flying things here"..erm..i ignored..din know he still stand behind..we juz ignored him lohz..

it was 1am le..jieyin & ashlyn went to bathe..came along was samuel & shaoqiang..then we were saying star gazing..juz as samuel was looking for the orion again, all of us saw another shooting star..darn excited lohz! we went getting our sleeping bags again..then peiling came along..no more le lehz..then we decided to go up to the bb court..more unblocked view..felt darn shiok to lie down & look at the nightsky..how i wish i could do this frequently..it's like the stars were near u..i bet the night sky else where wld be better..coz spore haf too much city lights..but i feel PJC has a better night view than NUS..after a while, we were too tired to wait for more..so in the end, we went back to sleep..i slept near amelian..

ard 6plus, i was woken up by amelian..haha..she ahz..disturb me..rolled over to my side..i was too tired to bother abt her..but the 2nd time i decided to put her back to her mat..but she is rather big sized..so in the end, i juz made sure her head on her mat..then i went to catch more sleep..then she rolled to my side again..haiz..cannot sleep lahz..so i juz got up lohz..then to see shui shann calling for me..i juz ignored her..if nt she wld wake everyone up..i juz sat outside waiting for 7am to come..when i came back after washing up, i saw amelian on her mat..ok..she bullied me..haha..

reached YCK MINDS sch at 10plus..was late..but nvm lahz..we were tired..well, my dizi's skills are so lousy..the last time i played was sec4 lohz..when jie started to play, my gosh! i realised i was very bad..coz i played quite softly..nt familiar with the notes..kept making mistakes..i was so relieved tt i got Jie to help me..if nt u cld expect the whole performance to be ruined by me..coz dizi is the loudest in our mini CO group..but luckily got her, she corrects me & helps me to go on the correct beat..i gained more confidence & played better..i can experience the change..she commented too..quite happy..dizi is something tt when i practice, i felt i'm adding to the noise pollution but all the pple ard me will think it's nice music..it's weird..haha..

then came the kids..i saw gladys! heez..she listened to our rehearsal & when she saw me, she clapped for me..so happy..the session started with 捞鱼生..

them getting ready to lao yu sheng...

i haf to push gladys to go for it..coz too many pple..then she dun wan to go..but i will juz 'force' her..heez..i very bad onez..coz when she chooses not to eat fruits, i wld put some on her plate & persuade her to eat..heez..dun wan her to be too choosy..i intro gladys to jie & also told her tt another cute boy boy, weijun..heez..but then jie has different views..she felt upset..coz of the obvious reasons..well, i dunno wat to say..but i think at least they are happy now..at least they haf their families & us to care for them..so i feel tt it's nt too bad afterall..

then our performance commences..was quite nervous..long time nv play in front of audience le..when we were abt to start with the first song, both jie & i were distracted by meng suan..who suddenly came near to keyboard & wanted to fidget with sth..diaoz..jie is distracted it's ok..but then i also..haha..anyway we missed the first few notes..heez..in between songs, we haf intro to our instruments to educate them..Jie was asking: will they understand? i think some will..but the pt is we haf the intention to educate them regardless they can understand or nt..coz they might be able to..noticed some active kids who are unable to appreciate but there are more who do like our performance..i saw gladys tapping & dancing with the songs..some sing with it..so happy..we juz hope to haf the CNY atmosphere in our YCK sch..half way thru, the wind was so strong tt our scores might be blown away..i was so scared coz if our scored blown away, some of us wld nt be able to perform & it is very very obvious..becoz we haf only like 1instrument..so if one of us nt playing, u wont hear tt instrument..so i hang on to my scores so jie can play..at least it's nt 全军覆没..but jie was scared coz i'm nt playing..but after a while i joined her le..heez..
