yesterday went for life run...pretty shiok...! was at pasir ris park...had a solid mac breakfast before going for the 5km run.not bad lahz,managed to run pretty fast despite feeling like vomitting and enduring the fatigue from the previous day's run with biathelets...aft the run i stayed behind to wait for the Gen Acts people to come to prepare for the camp.
basically had fun with those boys lah...here's the account for my NYAA journal on the program yesterday:
During the games,I realised that the boys in my group were rather unique in their own ways.Each and every individual allows me to actually group them according to their own personal character.Cai Tian is one that actually very vocal and violent for his evil side,but when his good,he actually can forget about Jeramiah being his “enemy” and work together with him to help our team score points for the games.I’ve noticed that prakash is also another big boy that looks after one another,his one of those boys that creates a deep impression in my memory even though his one of the new boys.He makes the effort to go around and mingle with the volunteers and his super helpful.He always volunteers to help carry stuff with a smile.His one of the boys that can control his temper very well unlike most of the boys.Well,I couldn’t see any faults in him still but I hope I won’t find any.As for Augustine,another new boy,he can be very sensible at times knowing what are his limits but again,sometimes when being provoked,he will react out of his limits and needs someone around to remind him to keep his cool.His also one of those boys that’s easier to manage and he shows a sense of belonging by showing that he can contribute to the team when we were playing some games.As for Jeramiah,his one of those kind of boys that loves to be in his own world.He needs people to be abit harsh towards him in order to absorb the instructions given to him.The good thing about him is that his one of those very few people that doesn’t fight back physically when someone actually initiates a fight.It can be seen from the various occasions that Cai Tian keeps beating him for no rhythm or reason without him fighting back except for a few exchange of vulgarities.Though not fighting back is good so as to keep matters small,it also creates an indirect implication that his easy to bully and stuff.Sometimes,Jeramiah really gets on my nerves for the simple reason that he doesn’t listen to instructions.But then,sometimes he really makes me feel that he needs the protection from volunteers like us against the rest of the boys that very negative towards him.
There was this instance whereby these 2 boys from the 2 different teams started fighting.Immediately,I went and dragged Wei Cong away to stop the fight.It all started with some nasty exchange of words that escalated to a fight.Even while Wei Cong and the other new boy was being dragged away from one another,they were still very eager to verbally abuse one another.I manage to calm wei cong down before the home’s person in charge manage to see what had happened.I reckon that it would be diastrous if the uncle actually saw what had happened.After which was the BBQ dinner and the boys had to start the fire and bbq the food.And as usual,boys are boys.There was this group of young girls having a picnic near our bbq pits and they started going over to “disturb” them.As they were fooling around,the other volunteers were busy interacting with one another while I was sitting and watching everything happen.I wonder if there’s really something wrong with my communication skills or if im just that tire.As for now,I hope I could really improve on my communications skills rather than to wait for something to actually happen.After the bbq,its finally time for the boys to leave.Just before they left,all the boys went around to thank the volunteers for the event.At that very moment,I was touched by their sincerity even from the naughtiest boy.I was especially touched and reaffirmed that my efforts were recognised when Wei Cong came over and thank me for helping out for the program and for stopping him from fighting with the other boy earlier that day.He said that if I did not pull him away and he continued with his nonesense,he might not be able to go for his home leave that very day after the program.From his words,I could really sense that his grateful and its glad to know that he could think sensibly while what happened earlier was just a rash act.For this,I believed that my efforts have been recognised and it really spurs me on to continue to help them out and to befriend them.
