me and yong keat, as SL leaders
wanted to organise this two-day camp for the kids there.
first day, the kids were so noisy and naughty.
i wasnt in charge of any group so i just hanged around.
then jac needed my help, so i joined.

stephanie: naughty, funny,pretty and cute. very nice.
she enjoyed painting my hair yellow, orange and red.

he likes saying asshole, fuck, lanjiao, knn, knnb, kaobeikaobu, cacat,angkat bola....
and he' s only like what, six years old.
when i try to cover his hands with my hands, he will lick my hands.
soo naughty i tell you. im always running after him and strangling him.

he did the most craziest thing.
he go wrapped alot of masking tape into a "dick" like structure.
and put it between his legs and shake it nonstop.
and he keeps telling me his dick very big and he has very big balls.
weijun: kinda quiet. qiu ting's sister. always protected by her.

and the kids love HSM alot. we all sang breaking free alot.
then my whole class did the mass dance Happy Feet OST- Hit M e Up.
hahha.it was super fun.our class did bonded.
all the boys there were cray bout nashitah.
and pak's preaching can be a turn off sometimes.HAHA
they make a good pair, i swear. HAHA!
then the guys in the class all like became dads already.sooo cute la.
while the kids were performing, i felt kinda sad.
sad that im going to leave them and about their lives.
i talked to some of them. mind-altering.
some of them are orphans. some actually have parents
who left them there or just could not control or take care of them anymore.
some of the kids are complaining about the home, saying they hate this place.
they are not allowed to make phone calls or use the computer
the home is divided into different catergories:
boys and girls, beyond parental control, special cases.
and some of them keep moving from home to home.
we as , volunteers cannot give them our contacts or whatsoever,
we even cannot take photos of them.
i had to give some of the kids my number and email secretly.
cos they were begging for it so pitifully.
and they keep promising they wont tell.
deva said he is going to call me every weekend.
i find their lives so forbidden.
i got teary abit when we had to leave. im still am now.
*sobs.
here are some pics i took.
let the pics do the talking yaa((:
this is the mural our class painted for them.
my group. DRAGONKNIGHTS!!!haha<333
while our class were walking out of the home,
i heard Stephanie's and qiu ting's voice from above.
i looked up. they were in their bedroom.
they shouted" jie jie, i love you alot. jie jie, thanks you for giving me friendship band and chocolates.
jie jie, this is for you."
and they threw down this SHREK'S EAR down for me.
and they keep asking me to put it on. haha.i did.
