ALIVE 2005

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.
