Getting busy! Madness for the next 2 months... ARGHH!
Argh.... it's almost a month since I've last written any diary. Hmm.... other than the 2 weeks away in Meulaboh on a Medical Mission with Singapore Red Cross, I've been adjusting and preparing for what's to come.
When I was back from Meulaboh, my colleagues requested and organised a presentation session for me to share my experience with the children we're coaching. It wasn't an easy task to prepare - I had to selectively share what I had seen and what lessons in life I had learnt. The presentation and interview lasted an hour. (I'll share with all dear friends here after I've made a more complete compilation of photos and penned my experiences well enough to do what I've observed, heard and felt justice. DO keep tuned in!)
Then came the request from 1 of the children's mother to give extra private coaching (read : tuition) for his Math and Science. I agreed to take on the assignment, so it's fixed twice a week on weekday evenings for 2 hours each session. My! It's tough, not because of the difficulty in coaching, but of the distance I have to travel and time spent travelling. I took me more than an hour to travel by bus and MRT. If I travel by taxi, it'll only take 15-20 minutes, but I'll cost me quite a bit. Well, no choice it seems as it's past 9pm when the lesson's over.
To top that, I have a June holiday camp's program and lessons (games & activities) to plan and I'm 1 of the most important person to run the camp. Humph... that camp's right at the start of June.... Well, it's going to be a very hectic, fire-fighting and mad 2 months!
I'll put my best foot forward, cross my fingers, pray hard and work for miracles.
