final session + farewell

chin han! i'm here!

first of all, congrats to everyone! we survived yet another round of exams!!

ok moving to the first item on the agenda: our final session for sem 1. since it was to be the final session, boon ming and ah chai put in some effort to make it a memorable one. we played hangman, with the boys vs. the volunteers. for the first few rounds, each team thought of words for the other team to guess, and it was a close fight! for the final rounds, boon ming came up with some questions for us to guess..and the boys started to take the lead..and they ended up winning with a comfortable margin. but of course, we were happy to let them win!

oh i must state for the record that hui wen was a very good guesser! she even managed to guess 'McSpicy'..which to me is pretty amazing hahah

after the game and prize-giving session, chin han took out his multi-coloured ice cream sticks, and we were supposed to write messages to the boys and they would write messages to us. this was quite a good idea! provided you had boys you wanted to write messages to hahah. soke hwa, i still have your ice cream stick ok!

all in all, i would say that it was a really fun and memorable session. thanks to those who put in effort to make it such a great session! :)

now moving on to the farewell part..

since i'll be going on exchange next semester, this semester is my last in ntu. hahah i didn't even realise it was my last session until on that day itself! and because it's my last session, i was tasked to blog about it and also to write my farewell thoughts.

hmm. i'm not really sure what to write. coz it still feels a little unreal..

i'll start off by thanking all of you, my fellow volunteers. especially those who've been with me since i joined in year 1. the years have gone by just like that! thank you all for giving me such wonderful memories. i think..the time i spent with you all, whether at sessions or at our (very rare) outings are definitely among the happiest in my university life.

although there were definitely some times when it felt like a chore to have to go for sessions every week, i don't think i ever regretted going for any one of them. and it's definitely something i will miss when i'm in canada :( well, hopefully i'll be able to join u all for some sessions when i come back!

but..you all don't have to be too sad and start missing me now! hahahha. coz i'll still be here for the camp! i didn't get to take part in the camp last year, so luckily i have another chance this year before i leave. let's make it a wonderful one k!

ok this is a really long post. (chin han! more than 5 paragraphs already! hahah) but if u don't remember anything about the long story i wrote, the main point is this:

thanks for the memories! :)


take care, guys and gals!

Karaoke Sessino @ Boys' Home

Hi! It has been a long time I didn't blog here and so good I volunteered myself to write for this blog (hehehe... *evil smile*).

Last Thursday was quite funny session. We, the NTU (what the boys like to call us... they always like, "See.. NTU is coming...", "No lah, NTU will do that.. NTU will do this..", "NTU sing la.." etc), did not prepare any games (as our dear ah chai forgot to bring the board games and etc) So out of a long waited randomness we decided to have a karaoke fight between the boys and the volunteers.

OK. The volunteers came up and acapella the song MY LOVE from Westlife and although with some pitchy problems, they managed to pass the first round. The more important thing was that, we saw some boys quite cooperative and decided to lead the group (although others not very willing to sing, they paiseh ler... wakakaka). They ended up with a song "APOLOGIZE" by TIMBERLAND and to be honest la... haha... though not very uniform performance but we the volunteers felt quite happy and glad to see that some boys really stood up to lead or to volunteer. At least they got the heart to do it... While others were too shy ler... haha... 

How can we make them not so shy next week?? lol ... ... Perhaps we shall ask our head Jun Han to sing solo first in front of everyone? lol

Outing Chinatown courtesy of huikoon's idea = )

Hey dudes, i had a wonderful day singing with you lots. Really break my record of number of songs sang in a day. 5 hrs zoom past so fast it only shows that time is very well-spent and i am going to miss it. Hehe.

Huikoon is goddess-like when she sings. She sings high pitch at ease. Super impressive. Miss 杨丞琳

Boonming is good with any type of songs. Love, Rap, Rock etc.

Ah chia is 周传雄-alike

Peggy is as usual the best. =) Chin han is ...him....enough said hahaha! =(

Ah chai and Huikoon

Last pic of the day. Niceeee!

4/9 and 11/9 sessions

yup. the pics taken with my 3.2megapixel hp cam. boonming with his act-cool pose. ahchai with his pretty pink shirt. yenbin with his dun-mess-with-me-coz-im-your-new-financial-controller smile.

had sessions on the 4th and 11th of sep. our turnout is easily twice/ thrice the turnout of other blocks. chinhan shd be proud of the level of commitment and dedication of his block's volunteers, which is why i predict that he will be treating everyone to a meal during the malaysia trip. thanks in advance chinhan (:

anw for both sessions, the boys were split up. those having their exams had tuition while the rest played games. i was playing games during the 1st session. ah chai came up with this really really fun hand game. everyone was to put his hand on the table and take turns making hand signals to direct what the next person should do. its really harder than i make it sound. the boys ended up doing forfeits such as dancing on the table and giving jianwen a nice shoulder massage. we were having so much fun and making so much noise that the officers downstairs came all the way up to our room to check on us. yup better be more careful next time.

i gave tuition during the 2nd session. think the boys are really quite bright. much brighter than they let on. hope that they won't go looking for trouble once they are released from the home. it will be such a waste of their lives.

yup thats the end of my entry. updates: there will be no session on 18th sep, but there will be a fun and exciting malaysian trip on the 19th and 20th of sep (:
