Hi hi again! So much happened today. Start from last night: cldn't sleep. Rolled in bed for more than 3 hours (including time I spent eating cup noodles because I really couldn't sleep hahahahahah oink). Thankfully I still woke up to my alarm at 8+ in the morn. TOOK LEAVE TODAY. So happy to realize that I can actually take leave (not very officially I think). But still!! Feel so guilty to my colleague because she lemme have a day off even though it's alrdy my last week plus I don't intend to stay despite them trying to keep me SORRY

First activity of the day... SWIMMING! Actually a more accurate term would be playing water instead hahahaha. Spent a lot of time laughing. At underwater somersaults, shoulder rides, turning water into mist, spraying water, splashing water, holding breaths, underwater tickles, underwater kungfu, bubbbbblessss, fail bubbles, funny refraction (HAHAHAHAH still amused), underwater alibaba (hahahaha I dunno what to call it)... but of course still got swim! Hope our fortnightly swim (and horsing around) will work out!

Finally back volunteering this week. Wouldn't say good to be back. R didn't come this week and I forgot to ask about him because this week the kids were so scary. From start to end arguing and fighting and it's just so frustrating. The bigger boys can be really threatening, even to me. Felt so helpless at one point that my eyes were teary. It's selfish but I wish they'd go away and not come again next week because they are disrupting the others' learning and play time. I really want to help them but if they are unwilling to cooperate and help themselves then nobody can. Realized that I've always been in a very protected environment and am very thankful for it. If i have my own children I'll want the same for them because broken families can affect the kids in big big ways. Even the usual little monsters D and Z were angels in contrast. Suddenly feel like they are so so innocent and I hope they stay that way for a long time

Ended the day with buffet dinner!! Mmmmm the food was so so. Variety quite limited (or maybe because I too picky then in the end nthg much left to eat hahahah). The dessert table looked quite appealing haha highlight was chocolate fondue! Overall not very satisfied if not for the 1-for-1. Owell~ window shopped a bit before heading home!

Bye-bye and here are my answers to questions taken from Sihui's:

Q: If you built a spaceship, where would you go?
Obviously out into space!! Where else can I go with a spaceship. I wanna see all those cool nebula stuff I keep seeing on Tumblr hahah

Q: What is the best thing someone can do for you when you feel sad?
BIG HUG. Stay by my side. Not expect answers from me. Words/actions to console me/make me laugh.

Q: What is the best birthday present you’ve ever received?
I don't really know but the one on my mind now is the sleeping set (bolster+mattress+pillow+soft toys) I received last year. Many birthday presents have special meanings to me sooo there's no best i'd say :)

Q: How would you feel if you had an opportunity to go to the moon?
I'd feel OVER THE MOON *ba dum tss* hahahahhaha sorry um excited but then again I don't really know if I wanna even go there?? :/
