**Iris' Castle of Happiness ^_^: Kids r simply wonderful & they nv fail to brighten my day...

*yawnz* *yawnz* tis is wat my reaction was early tis morning @ 6am when i have to wake up so early to catch the 7.30am Citycat ferry to city and then change bus so tat i can reach Mater Hill Hospital by 8.30am. yep! is my volunteer work! 1st day of volunteer session... rather excited and i was not late! so proud of myself ah... from my house here to the hospital is abt half hour away. however due to the timing of ferry and bus, i need to wake up on time... haiz... if not, i will be late when i miss one.

anyway, there i am... on my way to the hospital... feeling sleepy and very very cold. (winter is coming!!! weather changing to damn damn cold sia...) finally reached the hospital... starting my shift @ 8.30am. as tis is my 1st session, i had to follow my supervisor to get my ID pass. is an instant photo taking, so ugly ah!!! i cannot even open my eyes, how to take photo ah!!! haiz... end up my ID pass really very er xin.. u see below lah... arrgghh!!!

after taking my ID pass, i went to the children's specialist clinics to start my work. there r alot of children waiting to see doctors. so there i am with my trolley of toys, colouring, drawing papers and books. approaching every kid tat i see and asked them "would u like to have anything to play with?" seeing their smile make me feel so so warmth... i simply love kids... and bringing happiness to them is the happiest thing i can ever do. one by one, i tried to keep them occupied with something to do, from playing games and toys to drawing and colouring to reading a book. then to my biggest surprise, 3 very very heart warming things happened. 1stly, a little boy came running to me to return the toy car he borrowed. then before he left, he actually came up to me and gave me a warm hug and said "thank u". his action was very very sudden and i din had chance to react in time. i really feel very warm in my heart and really feel very pleasant after tis sweet hug. 2ndly, a little boy came running to me to get the toys from me to play. after i lent him some toy cars, he ran away. then he realise he din thank me, so he came running back to me specially to say "thank u!". his tone is really really very cute and lovely. with tat smile on his face, is simply a perfect thank u i can ever get. 3rdly is tat there is tis little boy who came to return the toys to me and when i said "thank u", he replied me "is my pleasure". and thru out my stay there, he always gave me the sunshine and charming smile whenever he sees me. i can guarantee tat he will be a Mr Gentleman when he grow up next time, well-mannered and charming. handsome little prince charming... haha... *seems tat i attracted many little boys ah...haha...* well, of cos there r other kids, both girls and boys who r very well-mannered and appreciative. they wun make noise when we need to take the toys away, neither do they take tings for granted. which i really really think that they r very well-mannered. it really make me feel great doing my volunteer work ah... haha...

anyway, i look forward to next week for my volunteer work as is a form of stress reliever for me too. though i need to scarifice my sleep, i still tink is worthy. seeing those innocent smile and listening to their lovely voice juz brighten my day and make everything seems less stressful. at the same time, it reminds me very much abt my cousins... haiz... i miss them so so much!!!

took some photos after my volunteer work... show u all ah...
