today was the closing ceremony for YV06... it was held in the afternoon in a&w taman jaya thanks to a generous sponsorship by one of our OC's uncle!!! at first, i thought it would have to be a very shabby event with 'half-past-six' finger food made by us OCs in a park somewhere ala picnic style... but instead we had the 'wonderful' a&w bear (who went straight to the leng lui OCs when it arrived before greeting the kids!!! naughty naughty mr. bear!!!) anyway, we had lots of leftover chicken and rootbeer which the homes took back for dinner/supper... we could see the kids were happy... lots of laughter and smiles... i really hope they enjoyed our company throughout the 2 months although the promised trainees did not turn up (instead they had us OCs and volunteer trainees from other projects... imane and pileh *spelling???*)
i was so horrible today, i came late for the party... couldn't help it though... mum, LK and i went for lunch in italiannies at the curve and finding a parking space took soooooo long... and then eating our lunch took quite long too because the chicken we ordered (which is their speciality) had some weird taste (vinegar, paprika, pickled chillies among others) and we had to force ourselves to eat it... the carbonara was yummy (as usual) and the pizza was quite good... anyway, i came 15 minutes late to the party... but luckily there wasn't much for us OCs to prepare... BY came later too... and when we were about to go back, she couldn't find her car... which turned out to be parked further up the road... one thing i must mention about the event is that some people who usually just ignore ML and my existence suddenly talked to us in a 'i've known you for ages' attitude... now doesn't that just speak for itself what kind of people they are!
ok, let's back track to last week's YV06 activity... it was the clown show i asked from allan... which, if i might mention here, i had to postpone 3 times!!! felt so bad for bothering him so many times... and as everyone knows, this kind of things (inefficiency...) won't be kept hushed but spreads all over the family... i hope i'm safe... but nevermind about that... the event was a success!!! johnny the clown was great... the kids responded wonderfully!!! and luckily i went ahead and packed the 5 goodie bags (because i volunteered to get the prizes for the games and after i'd bought all the stuff, i found out that they wanted to use some donated old soft toys for prizes... i was so pissed!!! there's a bl***y serious lack of communication among us... SERIOUSLY!!! everyone just does whatever she/he feels and then inform the rest much later...) but anyway, the clown did some fake magic show which the kids kept on chanting "tipu!!! cheating!!!" but the bottom line is they were entertained! and the clown kept on picking on me (probably because he only knows my name among the OCs or maybe he was tipped off that i hate this kind of things! allan always does that to us cousins! hahaha)... so i was mama sue may for the day... all in all, i thought it was a successful day compared with the other weekend activities we had so far...
the previous week was the arts and craft week and well, to cut to the chase, i saw red many many times during the preparation and also during that week's sessions... all i can say is that it could have gone better if only they planned the sessions out like a kindergarten's art and craft class... as a buffer, the sunday session at santa jerome was more fruitful although the materials were less fanciful than saturday at agathians... this time i (because we could see that some people had made up their minds to not help out much because their duty was due on saturday and not sunday) made sure that the kids weren't expected to run the whole show... seemed like i was the only one (besides help my ML and volunteer siew yong) cutting out shapes from coloured paper for the kids to paste on their thank you cards... i really thank God i'd worked in a kindergarten before and many years of preparing arts and craft materials for mum's classes!!! the results were much more organized and neater and less wastage... pity the girls didn't have the vibrantly coloured card sheets like the day before...
to list a few activities we had througout the duration of YV06... cooking and gardening (hahaha... decorating cupcakes were a hit, the rest... not so), salsa dancing (OCs had more fun... i had fun too... again victimized to dance with the instructor because i'm small sized... don't look so clumsy with the wrong steps ma...haha), talk on dental care and washing hands (ML was the hero for this activity!!! ML's mum amused the kids when she talked tamil to them!!! hahaha... i missed that though...)
that's about it... unless i missed something out... well, next week we'll be having our field trip to beryl's chocolate factory...
btw, i just took up a japanese class in jskl, saujana resort... i'm still blur with the 1st class...
Hajime mashite. Watashi wa Sue May desu. Douzo yoroshiku onegai shimasu!
