A not so typical Sunday,
Was supposed to get out of house by 8am, but apparently I did not(as usual) and ended up leaving house 15min late, took a cab there which is 10 bucks that could have been my 1 week allowance since I'm having lunch and dinner mostly at home :((( *heartpain* I shall not spend more than $10 bucks on food this week except for KOI on Tuesday which is another 10 bucks ripped off from my wallet T_T I'm a poor kid now. Had service till 11pm and went back to Yishun MRT.
Met WQ at MRT and we headed to church to practice dance for today's P&W, exhausted. Rushed for church meeting in meeting room at 2pm. ended the meeting quite early which left me a few more mins to practice and memorise the dance steps. Service started at 5pm, and ended at 7pm. After that was Children's rehearsal and I stayed back till 8++ nearly 9pm.
The kid's dance was awesome actually, just that both of us thinks that they can do even better. actually scolded them, maybe a little harsh and they look disappointed. Kinda breaks my heart and so I encouraged them hoping that they would get their acts together. When they dance, I sort of see myself in them, they have this innocent look in their eyes. The way they dance, the way they act, I used to be like that too. Having a sense of accomplishment when day1 the kids know nuts about it, and now they seems to grow. It's like wow, wonder how did my dance teacher felt when she was teaching us how to dance. It was certainly tiring teaching and missing out on all the youth activities happening during service, but I guess it was all worth it somehow. though this post seems a little lengthy and people might just skip this part, but at the very least, it shows something, I learn't something today. and someday, I want to relieve such memories. I am proud of the kids that I taught :)
not only that, I learnt that, kids are very contented with what they have right now, no matter which generation you come from. There was a kid(Ryan), he was trying to get one of the steps right, he took few weeks to learn that one step. And the moment he gets it right, though it was a little "cui" , it was as if he had won the world cup in soccer tournament. He jumps for joy and ran to his mum and said "I got it already", many times.
Another kid( Le En) the youngest kid among the rest(not even primary school) was not well enough to practice, her leg is feeling itchy and the doctor wanted her to rest and she can't dance since docs still do not know the cause of the itchiness. It was rehearsal day and she was so sad that she could not dance, her mom told me that she was so looking forward to it and had been practising whole week just for this. I can really feel her passion for dancing and this touch me.
I use to have this energy too, I use to love performing though I would get nervous and start staring at other people while dancing. I used to looking forward for dance classes and hope that I learn something new that week and I would start practising the whole day is I can, even if I'm tired and my hands had blister. maybe I'm old, maybe I am not that spurred on any more. This children taught me to be more passionate. To be more contented with things, sometimes, I don't know whether to laugh or cry or scold at them when they did a mistake. That's how adorable they are.
Went home and now blogging, super tired. and I have school tomorrow, I'm starting to have Monday blues already. Night world.
