Grace Haven~


Went to volunteer at Grace Haven last Saturday.. nice place.. very cute kids though very hard to control.. the children in this home are from broken families, parents in prison or from abusive background.. We planned a series of games for the children, whom were divided into 4 groups..6-7 children per group.. My group was called X-men..the others were Ultraman, Superman and Batman..haha..The children ranged from 5 to 13 years old..which is quite a big range..as some are so small while some are nearly taller than me..so, when we played Captain's Ball, there were children crying cause they never get to touched the ball at all..luckily the older children were nice enough to pass the ball to the smaller ones when they realised...Quite tiring running and shouting.. and playing together with them..but it was really a good feeling to see them so happy..would love to go again..maybe not frequently as the place is at Serangoon, which is very far from NUS..

KY and me in front of a very cute mural..i like the angel a lot!! looks like something from "Precious Moment"..

KY, WY and me at the lower part of the mural..the heart is so cute!!

3 of us in front of another colourful mural..

I would love to show pictures taken with the children but i guess it's not really right to show those pictures..and most of them do not like to take pictures anyway.. We had a great time..thanks to Rotaract NUS..

After the community service, we went to Bishan Junction 8 to have lunch and do some grocery shopping.. It felt nice to be back in Bishan..this was where i stayed in my 2 years in JC.. I knew every corner of J8 as it was between the MRT station and my hostel..but J8 had changed so much since i left..so much that i couldnt really recognise it when we passed the building on our way to Grace Haven.. that's why i suggested to ky n wy to do our grocery shoppin there..and not in Clementi..by the way, we realised the prices of some stuff are cheaper in J8's NTUC.. WY bought her sandals.. and all3 of us bought so much grocery...hoping to last for 1 month..haha.. so that we do not have to go out again..with that, me n ky made a pact that we wont go out anymore..not even to Clementi..(but with exception of Fong Seng..haha..there's a reason for KY to exclude that place..).. and we shall live in isolation in our room for a month.. to come out stronger and prepared for the last battle..*lolz*

Jia you!!!
