6th July 2009- location: ZOO...
thks to the Kinetic club of DNAP who organized this event...
we were to bring some kids from the Down Syndrome Association (DSA) to the zoo for some fun... donations were also made to give them goodie bags and gifts...^^
this was something i wish to do in the past... benefit these peeps directly...
but i lost my direction... or rather haiz lazy =x
On the way to zoo with my partner for tat day... act cute Margaret!!
me & the kid whom i looked after, Shui Shann...
She's a unique child... though many were asking if my ears were alrite, if i was very tired etc...
cos she was the "loudest kid" LOL... she would scream in excitement loudly suddenly and most of the times lol but she's a really good & kind kid (thou sometimes she dun listen to her mom hehe) =D
though it was really tiring to take care of a hyper-active kid, i was really glad that i was given this chance... & abit delighted when i saw SS accepted me quite fast and willing to hold my hands sometimes, though she will let go very fast =.=
poor Meg was saying & complaining that she was sad cos she tot SS dun like her... cos SS kept on sticking to me... in fact, i tink it was becos i was the one who brot her down & i looked more like a kid ma haha... so she felt more comfortable with me... Meg actually did a great job too... though she went to feed elephant la =.= haha...
SS is a very passionate kid which i am abit worried abt her too...
her good friends are mostly guys and she would hold their hands, esp Ryan's and even kissed one of them on his cheeks several times (Kenneth)... i couldn't stop...
on the other hand, i could feel her caring personality in which she will care for others like Ai qin who would sit in the toilet & din want to come out or the other kid who was sobbing at 1 corner... that made me feel so warm in my heart + can2 kui4... keke...
& thou i couldn't realli understand what SS said most of the times, i used my observation skills & guessing ability hehe... so i tink i did quite a good job on Monday!!
I wish to salute all the parents who have kids from DSA, cos they are really strong and optimistic... SS's mum especially, so willing to share their stories & she told us that she had formed a group with other parents to discuss & share their problems & think abt their future... that is such a cool thing...
sometimes i think that normal kids are worse, cos they are too spoilt and didn't know what is satisfaction... while kids with DS may be happier with what they have... & i like it when i just said something "so not farnee" & it made SS laughed so excitedly... hehe...
Only some of us went back to DSA to send the kids back & dunno why i oni hugged Ai qin... keke... & their art works are superb!!
I guess... lets do it man, twin... but lets go for orientation 1st!!
