hello peeps,
it has been a while since the last entry...you lots are so lucky that i keep forgetting to appoint someone to write the day's entry `(
Today is tuition day wooooooowho! but But BUT on our way to the Home, it started raining... IT WAS POURING RAIN CAN!!! %$@#^%#^@ The rain was so strong that we could not see our hands as we stretch out. The water so rapid, Jurong Point nearly got washed away. (I hope it didn. I miss the foodcourt there.) The wind so strong, cars were lifted and smashed into trees. (Poor trees.) Ok you may think that im bullshitting but it was really really REALLY Heavy Rain K. That though did not dampen our spirits. Clap please...thks. Appreciated.
Myself, celine, khalisah, huiwen, SEOW HONG & DAISY were at what we do best. Volunteering our time to give the boys tuition. We had 12 boys today but we manage well. Everyone was very enthusiastic and i can see the boys listening and paying attention while we teach. Our session today last for 1 hour where we help them with mainly Maths, English, Sciences etc. This time round, most of them brought their books. This is a good sign. The eagerness to learn. I believe all the volunteers will agree with me. I hope the boys enjoy our tutoring and hope that we help them indeed.
P.s: On a side note, if you are curious why i highlighted the names of SH and D hmmmm..i oso dunno actually `) Cya all next thurs!

3 July 2008
It was my first time meeting with the new boys so was kind of excited. There were 9 of us altogether. Of those 9, only 3 were early and the rest was late. Shall not mention names. =p
Anyways, we started the session by splitting the boys into 2 groups and asking them to think of rules for themselves. That way, they will have no reason to go against the rules since they are the one who thought of them. They came up with quite a number of good rules which were implemented immediately.
After that was games time! We played ‘Who Is Missing?’. The game may sound easy but in real fact it is not that easy. Cos the main point of the game is that you have to be familiar with all the faces in the room in order to realize who is missing. Lucky me, I was sitting with the group of malay boys when they were discussing the rules and when I was ‘it’, they picked a malay boy. Hehe.. If they had chosen a chinese boy I’ll have a pretty hard time. =p
It was quite a fun game but I still can’t remember the names of the chinese boys. Somehow I find it harder to remember their chinese names. =x Hee..
Seow Hong..!!! My virgin entry is up. Your turn next.! Hehehe…

New Boys!
This day, (26/6) 8 + JianWen BLK D NTU volunteers with a big heart, gathered to attend their weekly session with their boys. They were myself, rabin, seow hong, celine, daisy, jiayin, huiwen and huikoon. Special appearance by JianWen who not only attended the session with us but also treated us with delicious Crispy Kreme Donuts packed all the way from Australia via jw's lap. HAHAH wad an idiot! .....real thks man. (Cost you a bomb we know and we appreciate it.)
Hmm wanna know wad did we do at our session?
As usual.. Nothing special... ya ya... bla bla..
NO!!! Today we got 13 boys and you guessed it! 12 of them are new! WHAT A SURPRISE!
(Ok actually the staff has already informed me that they are arranging 16 new boys for our session -_-". But still, it is a pleasant surprise to see new boys and attending our session! *proud hehe)
We needed some activity to lighten up the mood so we played some "ice-breaking games". Drinking goggles", "WHO? WHAT? AH?" and "007". I am the organiser of the day and lucky me i played these recently and i could recall them. Phew! oops..hehe..
Sited in a circle, we had a "mini introduction" that involves everyone. We ask simple questions such as their hobbies, age etc. The introduction was rather short partly because i want it to. Time was getting late and if we were to go thorough, we will have to stay till 10pm! It was a brief introduction and we only know slight details about them but it is still meaningful. Anw, bravo to all my volunteers for trying to speak up more. (*much much more than the boys fyi!)I can see everyone is trying hard. *thumbs up! hehe. I am sure we will have opportunities to get to know these new kids better through our games, tuition and 1-1 sessions. After the last person has introduced himself, i proceed to give my "speech" which i as usual nv plan! How good is it... ermms dun expect too much on me la k haha! ANW.. I then stated my expectations of the boys and i explain to them my structure for sessions. Finally after all these, we wish good night and off they go, back to their dorms.
For my volunteers information: it will be games-tuition-games as per usual but when it nears their examination, we will only give them tuition.
What i said to the boys:
1) when volunteers give instructions, all the boys must listen.
2) end of session, the boys must help to keep the chairs.
3) if any boy is to be found to be indiscipline, i will not hesitate to report him to his staff.
Thats all from me..Hope to see you folks on thurs! = )
