Making a Difference

This weekend was spent with happiness and a tinge of meaning to it. Thanks to Wei Cheng, Saturday was quite a challenging yet meaningful day. So we went to Sunbeam Place with Zel and MinXing with the Mediacorp staffs. Sunbeam Place is under Singapore Children's Society who looks after children that came from abusive or violent families. Thus before we went there, we were told that the children were sometimes violent and they may end up fighting with each other, so we have to be mentally prepared to know how to handle them.
After we reached there, we were seperated into groups. I was paired up with Love 97.2FM radio DJ, 蔡礼莲 to handle this group of 6 boys. Saw YE933 DJ 巫许玛莉 and 987FM DJ Rosalyn Lee too. Some of the kids action are quite scary. Like one kid can suddenly slap the other kid on the face. Or when a kid borrow a thing from another kid, he returns it by throwing back to him. But at least they do listens to our instruction and I try to handle them by being one of their friends, playing and piggyback them when they asked for it.
After drawing their dream castle in the house, we brought them to East Coast Park and they got to build their own mighty sand castle with the help of the professionals Castle Beach! Had a fun time playing the sands!
It was a tiring day, but I made a difference in someone's life that day. And that brings everlasting happiness whenever I did something meaningful. I don't mind going back to help out as volunteers in future if I have the time. It is time to do something for our society.
And for today, met up with Zel, Amber, KianAik, Trevor, Duke and Dorothy in the evening and we went to have Ba Kut Teh at Bugis. After that, we proceeded on to Ah Chew Dessert store. Had my favourite Mango with Pamelo! As usual, delicious!
Cheers~
