Today's the 3rd day of the recess week and i've done nothing but slack. Supposed to study for the horrible accounting quiz nxt wk but just too lazy so kinda behind time now..heex..

Went to the zoo today for a voluntary work that my uni frens and I have signed up for thru wsc..it's a 1-day event to the zoo with austistic kids..actually i din think too much abt it before the event, just thought of doin sth nice then since it has also been some time since i visited the zoo, so might as well make use of this chance lor..

Realised the zoo hasn't changed much since my childhood days..the same toilets, same layout, same species of animals..brings back alot of childhood memories - the family dining in at the A&W located near the car-park and entrance, taking the tram around the zoo, taking pictures with the animals, feeding the horses, enjoying the animal shows, etc etc..everything seemed so new, so fresh, so interesting to a kid back then..revisiting the zoo as a young adult now, the feeling is kinda different..the exciting feeling is still there but no longer as curious as before..

Anw, back to the event, it was super tiring! Especially so when coupled with the hot weather and the super active nature of the kid who was under our care..4 of us were supposed to take care of 2 kids tgt but very naturally, dunno why, we broke up into 2 groups of 2 taking care of 1 kid each..the kid who was under our care is v smart..totally amazed by him..when he's quietly sitting down, enjoying the "cool breeze" (fanned by us), mac n the cold drink, he's actually v cute..heex..there's actually a trick to "handling" the kid, once u've discovered and mastered it, everything will turn out to be nt that tough and difficult to control afterall..just like the saying, "no matter how smart, how capable etc a person is, he/she is bound to have his/her own weaknesses"..

After 2 hrs of chashing, grabbing, coaxing, fanning, etc, we were all dead beat..but it was fun..and meaning of cause..it's a different kind of experience, learning a different way of 与人相处..i hope the kids had fun with all the volunteers tdy and that tdy's trip will be a memorable n enjoyable one for them, one in which when in future they think back of their childhood, all the happy moments spent in the zoo will come flowing back..heex..Afterall, kids are rightly entitled to a happy childhood.


P.S: I saw rainbow twice on my way backee home!!! Whee~~~
