today was mainly spent with the cutest bunch of kids at their daycare centre for cip. so, at about 8 plus, edward, ning, gladys and me went over to meet the kids. we spent the entire day running around at the playground with them, helping them with their homework, fixing jigsaw puzzles, reading books, watching movies, baking pasteries and making them do the most important thing : NAP TIME! meaning we have to coax the little kiddos to go to sleep...
if you're wondering, it is not an easy task. sitting next to them in their sleeping bags, coaxing them to close their eyes, patting them to sleep, tucking them it. basically, for 2 hours we were parents to more than 10 kids. but it was fun, and we got to see who had the real 'parent' potential. overall it was just alot of fun and interesting moments with the kids.
seeing them play around and have fun kinda makes me want to remember what it was like being a child. relatively carefree and happy, with friends around you all the time. no wonder most people would like to return to their younger days. as we get older things become harder and more complicated, and we sometimes find it harder to be as straightforward with our thoughts and feelings as compared to when we were kids. pros and cons of growing up huh.
when i was a kid, i always dreamt of growing up. now that i'm almost there, i feel like going back to when things were simpler.
oh well, there was a time, when i was a kid too.
