seriously for me, kids can juz brighten up my day. no matter how badly i am feeling, how upset i am feeling, how moody i am, how tired i can get, as long as i am playing with the kids, i am all okay once again! their smile, their laughter, their actions.. all these r enough to make me smile and laugh till i can forget abt every unhappy issue. at least for tat moment, i noe i have some kind of assurance and peacefulness with the kids. i still remembered when i was here during my 2nd semester, i went to volunteer at a local children and women hospital as patient buddy. basically is to go to the hospital and act as playing companions for the kids. once a week, 8am to 12pm at the specialist clinic, i will push my trolley full of toys and books around the clinic to entertain all the little ones who r there with their parents, waiting to see the doctor. sometimes the long wait can make them impatient and cranky. my job is to make their waiting time seems less annoying. well-equipped with all the toys and books, often the kids had a good time while waiting for their turn to see the doctor. before they go into the room to see the doc, they will come by and return the toys and say 'thank u' to me. once in a while i will encounter really lovely kids who will surprise me with their actions. there was once a little boy juz hugged me after placing the toys back into my trolley. i was totally stunned by his action and i felt so warmth at heart. the other incident was that a little boy ran up to drop off the toys and ran off. then juz few mins later, he ran back to me and said "thank u", smile and ran off again. gosh~!!! my heart seriously melted when these little ones show so much appreciation. in fact, after every session i had, i felt very grateful to them. cos if not for them, i wun have such a good time playing around and juz relax my mind... i certainly look forward to every possible chance to juz let go and play with the little ones. is a kind of satisfaction tat no amt of money can buy and it juz take tat little effort to be able to tink in their way, be in their world and act as one of them. :)
