i have accepted smu as my sch of study and e scholarship as well. kpmg still quite persistent, so in e end they saed they'll offer me internship and a permanent job offer aft i graduate. not a bad offer eh. haha.
today i went to do voluntary work at APSN katong sch. first time dealing with kids w intellectual disabilities. not that they cant think, jus that they dun think like others of e same age. but theyre still nice and fun ppl. we got along vv well. we (namely ivy, sook yee, yiwei and me) and a few volunteers fr e linguistic council, brought them to e zoo for learning journey. e kids are vv polite.. some less obedient, but hey, theyre kids! theyre supposed to have loads of fun at this age. well, if not for e heavy rain in mid afternoon, e entire trip will be much more enjoyable. and i was e song leader! meaning im in charge of carrying e cd player and getting e kids in e bus to sing along e zoo phonics. haha. theres this girl who kept wanting me to hold her hand. ahah. her names jingwen. and e kids are vv inquisitive, cant stop asking questions. which is one of e objectives e teachers hope to achieve thru this learning journey. we shouldn be prejudiced against these kids and deprive them of a normal life like that of e mainstream. its actuallie quite interesting interacting w them, understanding their thoughts. i did try my beat to ans their questions, although there were some i couldn ans, like why do flamingoes stand one 1 leg.. how i noe. haha.
ivy, count me in for such voluntary work in e future k!!
