Latest updates

hi everyone.

We have a problem for the 19th of April session. We have to cancel this date as the college has organised a talk for all you prospective medicine students.

I am toying with the idea of having the session earlier or a week later (12th or 26th). What do you all think?

Please give me feedback using the chat space in this blog.

Meeting

Hi all,

sorry for the late reminder. As we discussed on Sat, the meeting today will be at D25 at 3.30pm. See you there.

Yong

Hi.

The meeting on Wednesday will have to be cancelled as quite a number of students are having their IELTS class. Hence, we can only have a meeting this Friday at C27 3pm.

I suggest that this weeks activities be the normal and we actually plan for a more elaborate session later (on the 5th April). This will give us more time.

Hi everyone.

Thanks for updating the blog. Please leave your name at the end of each entry so we (or I) can identify you.

Hope you have had a good break. We had to cancel the last meeting scheduled on Friday 7th of March as there was too little volunteers around. It's ok though.

Can we have a meeting this Wed (19th March) at 3.30pm C27 to finalise for this Saturday. Thursday is a holiday so IF we need another meeting we still have Friday.

Some of us suggested a play/ drama...i'm thinking we might want to leave that nearer the end. what do you all think?

hey. i thought that the things on the blog were really inspiring and thought provoking as well. i took some thoughts which some of you had put on the blog to be included in an article. hope that all of you who had put up your posts don't mind. don't worry, ur copyrights are guaranteed! if u do mind, do tell me and i will not include it in the article. Please do not sue me on intrusion on the right to privacy. (i am not joking, i am dead serious) =)
i hope that more people would put up their thoughts and experiences on the blog!!!

a penny for ijat's thoughts...

to me, this has been my most interesting experience so far (in teaching kids anyway...)... i'm actually quite used to teaching kids... coz everytime we have a long break, my house will be full of kids having some sort of like a summer camp in my house...but still, these kids in SENTUL have touched my hearts the most so far...they all seemed so innocent with such creative young minds who can bring up so many ways to cheer up my day...seriously...the whole hectic week enduring all the challenges in SAM is neutralize by just one day (a few hours to be exact) with these kids...though some are quite naughty (who's not when they are a kid themselves right???) but in their own special way they have a spot for us in their hearts...that really touches me (am i crying????).....hahahahahaha....

at one point, i feel like im a kid again remembering when i was a kid myself....i used to hate arts and anything to do with it...but then, i just LOVE doing the JOURNAL we are required to do in this programme.....it's just FUN!!!.....whenever i feel stressed about anything involving college life....i just open up my journal and start decorating it and writing.....seriously....my journal is COLOURFUL....never thought it will turn out that way....feels just like a kid....(miss those times whenever i come to think of it).....

these kids have potential to be somebody in the future...somebody who can contribute something anyhow in their lives...HENCE (as mr yong likes to say it), i am very happy and proud that i have the opportunity to be a part in these kids lives.... we might not be able to see it yet but i think that we have in a way inspired them (i pray to God that they are).... lets not look our contribution as a small one because as some people might say it...a small deed can come to be a big difference....

so, let us all just do our best for our next sessions and share as much as we can....dont ever think this project as a burden and just have fun doing it....it will feel a whole lot better to think it that way...just a way to entertain ourselves looking at these kids characters.....well, to all volunteers, i just wanted to say, FIGHTING!!! and CHAIYOK!!!!

p/s: i'm still searching for cute stickers to give to my kids....hehehehehehehehe....and also for my own journal....huhu...isn't it FUN????
