My blog is super dead and somehow when my other friends ask me whether I have a blog, I've no

intention of telling them about it.

I haven't gone for squash in a long long time, and I've checked my NPAL but they haven't given me my 2 cca points. I plan to contact the person in charge and obtain what is rightfully mine.lol.

I joined Mentoring cca weeks ago and this is my third or fourth week. It's on every Sat, 9.10am must meet at Toa Payoh Interchange and we'll bus to Whampoa. So basically we spend time with the kids from needy families. This week, Jasmine, Weilin and me were put in charge of the warm up activity. So we came up with London Bridge is falling down and Hokey Pokey on Fri night. I viewed the videos on Youtube and realised how far I have came, because the videos brought back so many of my childhood memories. I was just sitting in front of my laptop and smiling, like a kid again. Happiness can be so sweet and simple. Sometimes I really wish we can go back to those times.

But yesterday there was this small lil kid who came to the centre and one person-in-charge said she needed one of us to be with the kid and she pointed at me. Yeah so I was the one and I couldn't help out with the warmup activity. I have never seen this kid before during the previous sessions and he has some special needs. This is the first time I'm working with him so naturally I was kinda nervous. He could understand what I was saying but I have problems understanding him and I also had to tell him to wipe his mouth with tissue papers from time to time because he tends to drool. So my hand was also covered with some saliva. The lady in charge also told me that I need to engage more with him and make him feel comfortable with me. I totally had no idea how I was supposed to do that and I felt really lost because I was alone with him. I tried to play games and toys with him, that somehow worked (': and he chose the games by himself. It can be quite tedious because many a times, he have already taken out everything from the game box and decided that he didn't like it. So I told him, okay we choose another game but we must keep this first. He understood me and obediently kept everything nicely away. Like what I had said, I have problems communicating with him but after about an hour or so, I managed to understand a lil.

There was once when he played with lego, so I picked out some and gave them to him but he pushed them back to me and said you play, you play. Hhahahah, he's so adorable^^ Throughout the session with him, we were in close contact and I held his hands for a few times. I feel like I've completed an important mission but I have to continue working on engaging more effectively with him and understanding him. (:

When the kids were to be dismissed, he said he don't wanna go home and that he wants to go home with me. Heheh at that moment I felt like I was a big sister to him. When he was about to leave, he passed me a packet of oreo and told me to open it for him and he then pointed to his mouth. So I fed him the oreos. For once, I feel that I'm able to show so much love to him with simple gestures. After that, he went home with his brother and I was watching them walk away from behind their back. He turned a few times and waved to me and even blew me a kiss. Hahahha. But I'm not sure if he will remember me the next time he comes again.

After the session, I was exhausted but really happy. The sense of satisfaction is overwhelming.

I don't know why, but it always stops halfway and I'm wondering if we think alike.
