This post is long overdue haha!
Anyway, on the second week of the ML Summer Wealth Program, on a tuesday (was it? i think so), we had this event for underprivileged kids, and basically, on the day before the event, there was this list pasted in front of the classroom of the name of the child you were going to be paired with. Some people were paired up and some people were just on their own. I was one of those ON THEIR OWN people, and i was a little bit worried. Like, was i not paired up with anyone because my kid is gonna be so young that she/he is going to be really easy to take care of? or is it that the kid im paired with is really old so supposedly she/he can take care of her/himself and i just have to watch?
I basically didnt want to end up with an older kid because i do think that younger kids are easier to work with. They listen to you and are just generally easier yeah. but anyway, come what may. Nothing i can do about it right? (: i was there in front of the board going HAFIZAH HAFIZAH HAFIZAH and we were all trying to say our kids names as fast as we could, cause we're all doof's like that (; anyway, so the next day came, and we were split into 4 groups, each group is in charge of a station. there was the nachos station, the hamburger station, the cupcakes station and the drinks station. and we were all in competition to see which station could best please the kids (:
Anyway, yadi yada, the kids arrived, big welcome, they went in to get their food, came out and yeah. Basically my girl, Hafizah was one of the older kids, she was already 11 and she came with a gang. HAHAA there was her and another 2 girls, one of the other girls we came to call, GANG LEADER. because seriously, she was damn power, shouting here shouting there. haha they spoke in BM at the beginning, cause they didnt think we understood and the gang leader was shouting things like BODOH!! and everything to her friends, she was just LOUD. and my friend who was in charge of gangleader was like. HOLY. im so dead. cause she doesnt even like kids HAHAHHAA i felt so bad for her. my girl was shouting a bit as well, but i could tell it was because of influence and that she really was actually a shy girl HAHAHA so yeah, we were in this together!
said girl and myself (:
Gangleader was quite mean at the beginning, kept shouting at my friend like she was a maid. 'PUT THIS ON THE TABLE. I DONT WANT THIS. TAKE IT FOR ME NOW.' and then i pulled my friend aside and i told her,
'hey, dont let her bully you like this!'
and shes like i knooooww ): but the kids were just really hard to deal with. then my girl started doing it too, like 'PUT THIS ON THE TABLE BLABLABLA' i told you, SHE GETS INFLUENCED. then i said to her, 'what must you say? WHERES YOUR PLEASE?!' and then three of them, gangleader, mygirl and the other girl just started shouting,
'PLEASE KAKAK, KAKAK, KAKAK, PLEASE KAKAK!'
It sounded really disrespectful to me, because i mean, back home thats what you call your maids right? so yeah. it was really just hellish and my friend and i were quite frustrated HAHAHA but i was determined to BREAK THROUGH TO THIS GIRL and erm, yeah. It will be fine! >: O determination face!! especially when you see other people paired with those quiet little ones that just NOD and SMILE and NOD and SMILE and im like GAAAAAHHH hahaha pull hair out i tell you. but no. must smile. and smile. and be nice to the kids. ITS OKAY. i can make it through the rain~ i can stand up once agaaaaiinnn~~
so yeah. but when it came to the time for the kids to choose their fav station, they have to put a coloured ball into the container with the label of their fav station. The gangleader found out that my friend and i were from the cupcake station and took it upon themselves to lobby for our team HAHAHAHAHA they just went around telling and shouting CUPCAKES VOTE CUPCAKES!! and it seemed like they had a LOT OF PULL hahaa it was heck hilarious and we're like OKAY, so maybe these girls are alright after all. it was so funny! then after that there were games and everything that the kids had to participate in, so the rest of us just sat around and watched. My girl was really sweet (: i'd see her scanning the crowd for me, and then when she spotted me, she'd smile at me. so at that point i was really just gushing inside already HAHA like AAWW OKAY, so my girl does like me. Happy bunny.
and when she had to use the loo, she'd just come up to me and hold my hand hahaha she was a little darling :D had to follow her everywhere, like a dog =___=" but yeah. it was fine. At some point we were just walking walking, then she would walk circles in the kitchen and when we reached the front door i would be like,

'oh last round? we're going out?'
(cause we were a train and i was linked to her on the shoulders)
and she'd keep tricking me and then make another round. we made like 3 or 4 rounds i think. gosh. then we sat on the chairs outside and talked a bit haha so that was nice. i wounded up really really loving this girl. really. when it was time for them to leave, she didnt have a bag that everyone had WHOOPS. i blame the people who were giving it out, so disorganized! i didnt even know they gave them out! and so i didnt realize until the gangleader pointed out to mygirl, and mygirl was all ITS OKAY. OMG SUCH A HERO. and i went nono, i go get one for you. =___=" and also, when they were lining up to receive prizes (cause their team won something), she let everyone go before her and was the last to get her prize, i was like *sniffles* true star this one!! (:

she was amazing. really.
hugged her so much when it was time for them to leave ): very saaaaaad, felt a bit like tearing up haha and when she was going up the bus she'd turn back and search the crowd for me and then she'd wave wave and then i'd wave wave and its like NUUUOOOH DONT GOOOOO TT I IS SAD... HAHAHHAHA pulled at my heartstrings that girl (: especially all those times i see her scanning the crowd to look for me, its just so sweet. also, she gave me her balloon. too bad i dont like balloons ): hahaha
Then on the last night, ML dinner, it was announced that some kids had made cards for their volunteers and that you could go to the back and check for yours. Some people had one, some people didnt have any, i had two.
....
Not like she wrote much, all she wrote was 'THANK YOU VERY MUCH.' HAHAHAHAHAH and i have this tingling suspicion that i have two more because of there were TWO DESIGNS available and she wanted to use BOTH HAHAHAHAHAH but anyway, still. (:
Loving the innocence and the smiles.
I love how the world works, and how fate brings people together (:
