Till now i'm still unsure of wat ALIVE 2005 is, but i do know its a volunteer program support for the GraceHaven Home for the year 2005. I have no idea what the home does exactly than it shelters children from a certain background. Then u might ask why i wanna to join in anyway, after all the above statement did sound like a 100% non-sincere participation. The greatest reason of all is that i have always like to be with kids, jus that i dun trust myself with that must responsibilities. But i truly did enjoy being able to participate in yesterday's DAY CAMP thoroughly.
Its really been a long time since i been surrounded with so many young kids ranging from pre teen to teenages... They seemed intimidating when they arrived and i was really nervous when i saw that the only language they speak were hokkien with lotsa "#$%#^#". Anyway to cut the long story short, a bond was form within our grp... the smiles on their faces were the best thing i saw in a long time. As i recount the day's event, i saw myself in a way which i had no seen for years... in other words, i found the me that i lost along the way to now.
i have no words to describe how i lost it, or found it and even how i feel abt it. I'm jus pleasantly surprised that it came back subtlely thru the event.
SideNotes:
I was told by the committee that the kids were afraid of me, after the first 2 games we hosted, and they were glad that they all listened to me during the time we executed the games. hehehe they are a grp of kids where violence is their main expression of their feeling (mainly anger) and they did enjoyed and keep the rules of the games were truly a great gratification to me.

Living in my own little world
Sometimes its really sad when u realized that you have grown up (and for ppl like me... i grew out and away from my childhood). I just got back from attending a relative's wedding dinner, he is my distant cousin whom we love to be around... He was like a big brother taking care of us, playing with us. i still rem that there were 5 of us, excluding the elder brother who always seems to be taking advantage of us in the past... hee... There was his distant relative and him, then me and his younger brother and finally my sis.
But today at his wedding dinner, we all have become so distant to each other. I think we all barely spoke more than 1 min to one another bah. Of course, my sis and myself had lots to talk abt but to him or the younger brother or to his distant relative, all seems to have been forgotten.
I have to admit that i have barely been concern with the things happening ard me, be it in my company or my relatives, even my own father... i would be ignorant or the last to know. Its kinda sad when i had to mentioned my father in this, cos i wouldnt know when he will be back in SG or when will he be flying off to somewhere else... the best part is... i dun even noe where is he sometimes... sad rite?
Guess i have been too selfish, i really didnt wanna know things that i shouldnt know or things tat do not concern me... just as i am afraid of being restricted, i would not want to interfer is other ppl's affairs, but it has turned out to be bo chup-ness...
It's so scary to be unfeeling to one's own family.

The new tenant in my room - JJ
Yesterday, my hse accepted a tenant name JJ... This little tenant is only a temp passerby, but the HUHA it caused was not small. He's petite, he's cute and he is a very well behaved little fellow. The only imperfection is that he cant talk... sigh... he looks at me with such innocent eyes and i looked at him with my puzzled face... How i wish i know wat he wants, but then again, it would be absoutely scary if he opens his mouth and talk... i think i would freak out.
He is such an adorable little fellow, he stays by my side the moment i reach hm. He is such a loveable fellow that he gained instant acceptance with my family, everyone in the family entertains him alright!
*Yawn*
Think i'm tired, shld march rite straight to me bed, this time i think i will not let him sleep with me, lest it gets crowded. He shall have the floor.... Nitez....
Ps. Did i mentioned that he's a pup that my fren asked me to dogsit for a few days? *GRIN*
