BEWARE! LONG ENTRY AHEAD!
but pls read.! =D
after weeks of planning, the birdpark trip is finally overrr! now, i just gotta do the paperwork. SOB. anyway, im dead beat, but i just had to blog this down in case i forget anything. the power of a laptop! i can lie down on the sofa and type. comfyyy~
I HAD A BAD BAD START for a day. BAD BAD BAD! i woke up early, and bathed. then i boiled water and prepared my milo. went to make sure i brought everything. i tied my hair. and i left my house!! I FORGOT TO DRINK MY MILO AND EAT MY BREADTALK BREAD. i was crossing the road to the bus interchange when i was wondering why my stomach felt so empty, when i supposedly had breakfast. RARRH! so i called moo! told her to bring 2 slices of bread for me from her house. whahas.
reached ngee ann bus stop and waited for moo. for abt 10min! cuz i was early. a girl borrowed my hp to call a cab, i kept looking at her, cuz i was afraid she was some snatch-thief. heh. x:
moo came and i ate my bread. thanks moo! =D she followed me to canteen 2 where i was supposed to meet tricia, yunlei and johnsten. finalised some details, and went to the childcare centre. woohoo.
prepared food for them - cut nuggets, fishballs, sausages into smaller pieces. prepared bread with UBER THIN LAYER of jam (cuz KIDS CANT EAT SWEET STUFF.) whahas. helped them with their name tags. applied insect repellant for them. WE WERE LATE. >=( had to push back our entire schedule. RARH!
took bus there, chester chia and gareth were sitting behind moo & me. they are damn cuteee! (LI HUILING, ITS CHESTER! hahaha not jester =p) but damn dao. lol.
the Lao Shi (teacher) told me to look after Yan Yu, Zhen Yi and Chester Lim. they are sooo noisy. each of us had 2-3 kids with us. but ended up, it was all messed up, the kids just went to whomever they like more. hahah.
split the kids into 2 groups. my group consists of the K1s and the K2s. our group went for the workshop first. >=( stupid jennifer (education officer of birdpark) never prepare everything properly. the leaves werent dry and there wasnt enough double-sided tape. ngiao (stingy)! but the kids had fun! haha. making a birdnest with eggs in them outta dough, plastic cup, leaves and double-sided tape.
oh, did i mention that gareth started sticking to me ever since then? i love him la. he's so cuteee. he kept hugging me. and holding my hand tightly putting my hand in front of his chest whenever i let go of his hand. SO SWEET RIGHT? goshh~ but i heard from the teachers that he's a mischievious brat. haha. but he's damn sweet to me la. he listens to me! haha.
and there was a japanese kiddo~ Ryuichi, im not so sure how his name is spelt. he kept sticking to the lao shi. haha. his parents tagged along too, cuz Ryuichi knows only the basic English words like, go, eat, water, etc. lol.
ohh, after the workshop, we went to the Pool Amphitheatre to watch the All Star Bird Show. the kids were soo amused! haha. good~ =D finally took a short break, cuz they were too attracted by the show.
then came lunch! haha. helped to set up, and settled every kid's lunch and every parent's lunch before we had ours. I WAS STARVING! i didnt realise that until i started eating. too busy alr la.!
ta-da! aft lunch was the long-awaited tour. haha. brought them to the lory loft and looked at the lories. Mrs Ng, the principal, said to us that the tyrants in school were afraid of the height. lory loft had suspension bridges in it, btw.
took the panorail back and the 8 kids sitting with me were so fighting over sweets brought by one of them that they missed the swans, flamingos and pelicans when the panorail went pass them. what a pity!
took them to the penguin parade and they were soooo excited. lol. cute lil kids!
last station, world of darkness. all of them were like "IM NOT SCARED!" before going in. but inside, they held my hands so tightly! lol. aft getting out, i was teasing them "i thought you said you werent scared?" they were like "YA! IM NOT SCARED!" wanna laughhhh sia! lol
anyway, due to the delay in the morning, we had to give the parrots, cockatoos and macaws section a miss. but overall, it was a fun trip. none of the kids got missing till the last station. 4 kids from my group sotong-ly joined the nursery group. sotongss! =p
went back to ngee ann. on the bus, jing kai was entertaining moo & me. he's like so small! but he kept eating! other kids eat 1 piece of bread. he ate more than 4 pieces! and alot more biscuits.! gosh. and his expressions were sooo cute! haha. moo & i were so amused la!
Mrs Ng praised us for a job well done. goshh. sense of achievement. handling a big bunch of kids aint an easy task, but we're done with it! whahah! i'll update again~
oh! and i wanna thank moo for helping out! i bet you had fun too! lol.
now&forever
you&me
