Last Day At Work.

Today was my last day at the student care centre in tanglin halt. I've spent close to about 5 months there, and i've gotten to know all the kids pretty well. Looking back, sometimes I may find it tiring taking care of them since they were all so active and moving about, and to take care of 30 kids at one time sure is mentally and physically challenging at times. However, when you see the little joy that surfaces on the faces of the kids whenever you spend time with them, it really makes everything seems fine after all.

I have learnt many things during my time in the centre, most notably patience! On a more serious note, when you see the innocence and genuineness displayed by the kids when they go about doing their things/homework/play, it really makes you wonder where all that innocence that was once in all of us all went to. Perhaps that's what God yearns for all of us to have, an innocence in all of us that will please Him.

I am extremely grateful to have the opportunity to serve in the student care centre. The children and the staff have been a blessing to me all this months, and I'll never forget them. All the lessons that I've learnt and the precious time i've spent with the children cannot be found in another place in my opinion, and I'm extremely grateful once again for the whole experience.

Well I guess that's the close of a chapter in my life for now, and on to the next chapter, university studies. Basically I'm not looking forward to going back to studying since it's been 2 1/2 years since I was last at an educational institute. It will probably been kind of a cultural shock to me, but i guess i will adapt soon enough. Hope school will be fun and enjoyable for me.

But first, I'm heading to cambodia for another mission trip in 2 days time.. Can't wait to see all my fellow brothers and sisters over there haha. It's been a half a year since I've seen them, and I'm feeling pretty excited about the trip.
