It is such a cloudy and overcast day today and I have been slacking at home the whole day. Been feeling sickly for the past few days, and taking the flu medication this morning only made my head heavier and spinning. Thus the whole morning and afternoon, I have been coming in and out of consciousness, trying to clear my head without much success. Such a cold and dreary day..brrrr. I start work later at 6pm and I really hope I can get through the day despite my present state, hopefully maybe later I will snap out of it. After all, I do need all my wits about me when working, just hope I don't spill anything or what, I am starting to get really really scared, not knowing what to expect, my earlier bravado gone.

It has not been the most pleasant couple of days with the exception of Saturday, where I took part in an event organized by my church called "A Time to Shine" to bring a group of underpriviledged kids to Sentosa for a day. Early in the morning, we arrived at the school, faced by a bunch of the most cherubic looking lower primary school kids. They were so teensy weenie and I can't imagine myself being that size when I was at that age..hahah. I was assigned to a kid called Rashid who is this adorable looking pri 3 boy with deep dimples in his left cheek when he smiled. I was worried that he would be quite a handful, but he was actually pretty well behaved and would not wander off by himself. He loves playing football and his favourite team is Brazil..hahah..

We brought the kids to The Underwater World, where I have not been to since I was a kid. Rashid wasn't really interested in all the fishes except sharks, and this enthusiasm was infectious. I was soon chasing after he and his inseparable buddy and changed my mind about him being not quite a handful. We went to the Dolphine Lagoon and had lunch of BK there. The pink dolphins were really cute and could perform many stunts which to 10 year old kids, would be very impressive. But to me, its like ok, so thats nice, but I wouldn't pay money to go watch that.

The day passed very fast, and it soon, we were on the bus on the way to school. I was tired out, but the kids still seemed to have limitless energy. I felt really blessed to be part of this event, to be able to interact with the kids and to see them smile and have a great time, there is just something so gratifying about that. Being around kids really make one happy. So despite being drained of all energy, I felt really happy too :)
