yes i AM obsessed with that book. i must not, repeat, NOT start on another book until i have finished my hw. i must not. i will not. but then again... sighs.
about 150 mins ago i turned on the comp, intending to finish my chem essay. lets just say that i got distracted. a minor detour, really.
seems like this holiday will be quite a busy one...
today we visited this cool school for like, spastics. first they performed, then we performed (you've got a friend in me...), then we socialized with them a bit. it was really nice that they sort of let us talk to them ourselves and all... the students (i dont think its wrong to say that since its a school...) there were really, REALLY sweet and cute!
i got to push a wheelchair! its not easy when the guy you're pushing seems heavier than you tho =s. but it was so incredibly fun.... nic and i were sort of pushing one guy between the two of us... (nic cant talk to them while pushing, it seems. and i cant seem to push the wheelchair without having it stop or swerve randomly.) well we switched a couple of times, pushing different people, but mostly i (fine. we. wtv. gr. ahhah!) pushed this adorable kid called rahim around... he was so sweet.. haha when we had to go, he still wanted to be pushed around.. i would have i think! but mr wong was there chasing us all away... the others had moved ahead =P
anyway there were lots of other kids there too! they were all quite friendly and waved at us. except a few, who seemed quite scared of us. (not that i can blame them, i hardly think i'd be impressed by a bunch of students coming to baby me.)(and i dont think i should refer to them as 'kids' either, since quite a number of them are only 1-2 years younger than me.) (and why on earth did we push all of their wheelchairs?? some seemed perfectly capable! i could just feeeeeeel rahim's disbelief and irritation at my lack of ability to handle his chair every time i swerved suddenly. in fact he DID try to use his hands to move ahead himself.... *innocent whistle* )
this trip was really good, as in i felt i actually got to talk a bit to them. compared to all the hospital visits we joined before, where we stood around awkwardly as both teachers and the hospital staff tried to get us to talk... of course we DID try, just i dont think they were much interested. today's trip actually had an impact of me. =0 amazed?
and on the way back, we were singing (again!) our very own rendition of "i want it that way" and "i love you baby". oh the ayamas song too.=P. and we sang happy birthday... (first to weng, then to someone else-i forgot, then to mr wong [to which, weng shouted : "EH WRONG LA! to MR WONG'S GIRLFRIEND!!! MRS WONG!!"] it's ms hng's bday today. ;) we sang happy birthday to her too, in the school canteen, when we got back.
it was really fun. the only not-so-fun thing about today's trip was that it made me think. it made me realise how completely grateful i am to be, well, you know, i guess blessed. i think lots of babies get jaundice, as i know i did, and su lin did, and tara too. i feel so so lucky, since i did develop jaundice as a baby, and i DID have a habit of toppling down stairs and sofas when i was being babysat by ming. i feel to glad that all that happened to me, and i'm still here. in cempaka, living my life. i know it sounds terrible, coming out like this, but that IS how i feel.
i really admire the lady who took us around, puan marie ( i think?! or was it mrs wong... lol). i mean, she dedicated pretty much her entire life to helping out spastic children, and the school. it's amazing.
on the sidenote, HOLIDAYS ARE HERE! =)
taiping tmrw. god. i really dont like needles. or blood. (remember bio? just proves my point - blood and me.... NOT GOOD.) and if there's something that definitely irks me out, it's pain. i hope it doesnt hurt. =( it shouldnt. in fact, stitches shouldnt be neccessary, right? just a tiny thing.
it's my party and i'll cry if i want to! ignore me. if you want. really. i'll try not to mind. butilvoeutonsnotsmartofmeeh?
