Coming back
Haha. I just can't get into the habit of bloggin at the end of the day.
So yup, Im gonna blog abt yesterday again.
Was a long day, but my kids were really cute. I was trying to teach them the value of balancing work and play, so we did this worksheet on recording the no. of hours they spent on each activity such as working, playing, etc.
They gave funny answers like, "I play only 1 minute a day", and "study 12 hours a day" etc. And I thought, either kids have no life nowadays, or they like to exaggerate the amount of work they do. haha. oh and of course there's also the 3rd possibility; that is, they had no inkling how long an hour or minute is. So I got them to count from 1 to 60 to get the idea. But they insisted they play only 1 minute a day. lol.
So in the end on the column of "What I have learnt", I taught them the good old saying of "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy", and I got them to substitute their names and gender into the saying, like, " All work and no play makes Desmond a dull boy" and "All work and no play makes Rachel a dull girl", and they really enjoyed that. In fact, they would plead for me to say it out loud, and they get such a laugh out of hearing it aloud. lol. Kids are an easily happy bunch of ple.
There was a networking session after school. So we went to Nan Chiau Primary, and was welcomed into this room that has been really nicely decorated. The room is dark with light sticks, streamers and balloons, nice music in the background, and ple wearing paper crowns. It feels like a Christmas party one would hold in the nineties. haha. a tad cheesy but comfy.
So we played games. And more games. haha. and Eat and eat. There was a game where we have to construct a model of our ideal school, and the model has to be mobile. Reminds me of the tent-making game we played during ACTSCalibre.
So in the end, we 'built' a school using 2 of our guy colleagues as part of the structure and we came up with this:

Haha, cool right? I quite like it. lol.
After that, was straight to PS for DMM, where we did not discuss what we set out to discuss but talked abt something else impt. Which I felt was crucial and meaningful. Getting late for GAP, so we scuttled off to America Rm at Nexus.
GAP was refreshing for me, where God spoke to remind me what He's been speaking to me for the past few days. About renewing my mind, being others-centred, and giving the rightful throneship to Him. So yup, was refreshed:)
Went for prata after that with some of the ple, but was really tired to say anything. Whole day had resolved to enjoy the ple and things put my way, and I see that the choice to do so, to cherish everything and everyone God has made to pass my way was really good and uplifting, but towards the end of the day, the old me, surfaced. Where I just want to sit there and do nothing. haha.
Change is a gradual thing. I shall be patient with myself, and patient in seeing how God will change me. It is prideful to think I'll be able to change certain habits of lifestyle and intercation within a short period of time, when I have invested the last 20 years in cultivating and feeding them.
But by grace, through faith. Yes, it shall be done.:)
PS: And this is one of the very rare 'narrative' entries of mine, instead of one filled with abstract metaphors. So others-centered. haha!
