Okay I feel like changing back to the SpongCake Blogskin. Realised this skin's colour is seriously too light.
Anyway. Today went to the Children's Home again to teach the people there. I shan't use the word "kids" for today as I was litereally teaching a "N" Level Student. Omg he keep talking and joking around except for the first 10 minutes when we first started the tutoring. We didn't even do any work at all after that man. He even went out of the Study Room to smoke. O.O
Nicole was teaching a Sec 1 guy who really doesnt look like a Sec 1.
After the whole thing, the four of them left first and I was alone there at the Children's Home waiting for my Dad to come over and pick me up. Meanwhile, all those kids that we've taught before came over and talk to me! :D Diana took my camera and went around taking pictures. Udean and Kqin koped my handphone (and people, that's why I cant reply messages if you guys smsmed me today at 5.40pm to 6.30pm). >.<
Jannah showed me her quizzes and worksheet results. They are like, 14/15, 7/8, 12/15 that kind of thing! Ohmygod I felt so happy for her! :D Then she asked me how to do a few questions on her assignment. It was geometry man. The Sec 2 Geom. Anyway. At the same time, Hidayah came over and asked me to teach her English. Sadly only helped abit as my Dad reached already so I got Jannah to take over me instead. :)

Now I really feel very fortunate. After today. One of the kids I mentioned above (I shant say who). Her parents fought and they sent her to this Children's Home. They did not even send her to school so she's already not attending school at such a young age. I guess she's only 9, or around there. I mean, how can her parents do this. She has got nothing to do their argument and if they had financial difficulties, they can always apply for someone financial aid or something. They just ruined someone's future.
This girl continuously asked us to hug her and she kept reminding me that I have to remember her name. She even insisted on writing out contacts onto a proper piece of paper just for her. There's one sentence that she said, "Can take a picture of me? So you won't forget who am I."
One more thing, she deleted my photos with the other kids and there's only the photo that I took with her.
I guess it's because of the lack of attention at home (or does her parents even give her a proper home?) or she's just never loved. Even if what she told us was fake, I guess all those are not what a normal kid at that age will do and say.
Really, if I had the ability, I would have sponsored her school fees.
Ohmygod.
