The Creativity Session =) (12/3)

It was a game session this Thursday and it was conducted by Henry, the Game Master. It was a job well done by Henry as it was clear that most of the boys enjoyed themselves. It was a picture game whereby the boys were given a theme and were to draw according to the themes. There were 3 rounds in all.

In the first round, the theme was “Your Favourite Food”. There were many interesting drawings, like ice-cream, a complete MacDonald meal, bubble tea (which is also my favorite! haha), fish, roasted beef and many more. The second theme was “My Dream Girl”. Again, there were very creative drawings. The boy whom I was paired with, was so focused drawing his dream girl. He was actually drawing his girlfriend, whom he said was currently in hospital due to a leg injury. Kinda sweet seeing a guy so focused drawing a picture of his girlfriend=) And the last theme was “My Favorite Cartoon”.

After the drawings were submitted and the top 3 were shortlisted for voting, I realized that many of the shortlisted drawings were drawn by the same few boys. This means those boys really have a talent for drawing! And of course, everyone put in effort into their drawings and it was nice getting their participation.

The boy whose drawing gathered the most votes was rewarded with a chocolate bar. At this point, I observed something. One of the boys won a chocolate bar and he unwrapped it. However before he even took a bite himself, he passed it to his friend to take a bite first. I thought it was very nice of him. And after he took a bite himself, he passed it to a few other friends and so the bar was shared among so many of them. What a sense of brotherhood I thought. They must have forged a really strong bond amongst them which I believe will make them buddies forever=)

That’s about all! It’s the March holidays for them next wk so guess they can take a good break. But its tuition for them next wk too! Haha hope it did not dampen their holiday mood ;P

We also celebrated Ivy's 21st birthday at the end of the session!

Sessions 5/2/09 & 12/2/09 !!

okay this is a REALLY late post but better late than never. by the way, the reason why this entry combines 2 sessions is because chinhan was too lazy to write 1 of them. haha okay here goes...

there was tuition on 5/2. i was an hour late so not too sure what happened then. BUUUT... i do know what happened after the session~ there was a mini birthday celebration! for me! haha thanks guys really REALLY appreciate it. the cake, present and birthday song were lovely! special thanks to those who took the time to get the cake and presents (:

it was games day on 12/2 organised by group 4. game went something like this: there were 2 teams and each team took turns to play. numbered cards were pasted on the floor in a big circle and each team member stands at a number. members enter the circle -- the person standing at the smallest number enters first while the person standing at the largest number enters last. the team whose members enter into the circle in the correct order and with fastest timing wins.

ken vin coordinated the game with the rest of us time-keeping/ checking for cheaters/ joining the game. the boys were uncooperative at first but with ken vin's very stern scolding, the boys decided to cooperate more. it was overall a great game and we enjoyed ourselves.

just want to add that there was this boy (not too sure of his name. think it was henry's boy) who brought a love letter to the session. it was given to him by his girlfriend. it was really beautifully made and even laminated. he was really proud of it and was really eager to show it to us. haha. soooo sweet and cute (:

Session after CNY

Today was the fourth day of CNY~~ Everywhere was filled with the CNY atmosphere, even in Boys’ home.
This was Group 3’s turn to prepare the game for those boys. We prepared many candies for all the boys who participate in the game “Pass the message” session. The winner group could get some chewy gum (the best prize!!). However, they showed their good teamwork and finally made it a tie! In the end, they had to play “Scissors, Stone, Cloth” to decide the winner. For those who were lost, they also could get some mentos!! =)
Although it was CNY, some boys were very hardworking as they requested for tuition instead of playing game. We shall big them a loud applause. *Clap clap*

Time flew. The first session after CNY was come to the end.
Happy lunar new year~~

Cheers,
Poh Ling=)

Session before CNY!

Prologue

Let me start with a short narration to explain why I am in charge of today’s entry. After session Jun Han asked who’s going for super and ‘tadang’ I raised my hand without knowing that he was actually asking who’s writing today’s entry. (How lucky I am!) So here’s my very short and sweet entry.

And so I begin...

I partnered with Henry today and today we were supposed to give the boys tuition. But my boy said the teachers took away all his textbooks before CNY so we just chatted with him for the session. Henry cliqued with him at once as they were both soccer fanatics. It was a pretty nice session for me to hear all the stories from the boy we talked to and I must really say that Henry was really good even though it was his first few sessions!

After session we went for supper and attempted to plan for the post-CNY outing. Some suggestions included badminton session, paint-ball fight, bbq, etc. (I think Jun Han will update us again soon!) Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this short holiday and Happy ‘牛’ (ox) Year! =)
