Cherish every moment: MINDS...

16Oct..

Qutie a memorable day to me..

Not the 1st time doingvoluntary work but the very 1st experience working with people from MINDs..

10am, the people from MINDs arrived NYP. We, being the welfare ppl are supposed to usher them to the Grandstand and settle them down.

The 1st impression I had when they alight from the bus was, ALL of them look so cheerful and ALL( I repeat) were smiling from ear to ear.

Im glad they're looking forward to the event.

I didnt hesistate to smile back and wave back to their hello's and good morning. They're really friendly. *I guessed I over reacted to the point that Xinyi thought 1 of them was my friend.

OKay, after settling all of them, our task was to station somewhr close to them so that whenever they need help to get to the washroom or water point, we can assist them.

Most memorable thing which I encounter was the chat with this girl called Nara.

She look exactly like a normal girl and the way she speaks is like you and me.

But as I was chatting with her, I began to realised to abnormal things which I dont wish to elaborate. I really pity them. They are really nice. Sometimes I would try to force myself not to be so demanding to say PARDON! They're trying really hard to let u understand what they're trying to say and if I dont understand, they will try their best to repeat until I got what they want. And the moment u got it, they're like super happy.

The games part is the most exciting of ALL. They're so high and open up.

They cheered and shouted and some even poured water on themself. The scene was OMGxD.

Alot came to me and say they wants to go down to the track and race but their name wasnt called I couldnt let them go off.

Assisting them to toilet, felt like a FULL TIME Maid.

I hold their hands from the Grandstand to the toilet and practicall hold the door for thme cos I scared they dont know how to unlock after they locked it and last but not least I FLUSHED the waste for them. cough cough..digusted.

And unknowingly, I found out that they actually know what to do juts that they wanted EXTRA bit of care from ALL of us. Hm, I guess everyone of us needs ppl to be cared for and whats more for them.

After all the games and stuff, its time for them to get back to their school.

Feels so touched by their warm handshake and their SMILES again. One of them even said: SEE you tmrw hahaha..

Thats ALL for MINDS.

Headed off to ION orchard with MJ and XY.

MJ went to return her uniform and we went around combing ION and FAReast foping to grab sth but in the end grab nth except some sushi hahahaha..
