best times in my life: 10 weeks of nursery

i think throughout the whole marriage prep course, the most i learnt was during nursery. in a sense it was a good time-out from service, of which i was beginning to get a little jaded of... but by the 8th week i couldn't wait to get back to expo for sermon! absence makes the heart fonder, ya?

and yet, those 10 weeks of waking up early to meet alvin for breakfast before changing into socks and stepping into David's Club, and helping them to prepare for worship, registration, clean up and taking care of children was so fulfilling.

out of all these activities, i think alvin and i excelled at worship, but i know i was terrible at storytelling, haha! alvin's Mr. Bible was pretty funny though. here're the children from touch centre!

playtime!



coloring activity before we begin, and that's en hui and grace!





both are them are SUPER guai. everytime we meet en hui out of class she keeps staring at us so she can wave whenever we look over. she's adorable.

alvin playing bowling with jeremiah and angus:



jeremiah is a gem. he's cute, listens to instructions, loves to hug, and has a great grin. and he loves alvin to bits.

angus... he loves you and leaves you. HAHAHA!

alvin gets overpowered by gracia:







elijah and gideon - brothers who are soooo cute together:





here's fu yi with his bowl shaped hair style trying to help us pack up; omg he's so cute. he also has an undecipherable accent... that week he had a mosquito bite on each cheek. HILARIOUS!





shana is my favorite. she's very smart. and she tells you 'no' and 'cannot' in the most earnest manner. teehee.







and here is jedidiah - she's really sweet, really smart, and loves to play house. everytime i played with her i had to collect ingredients so she could cook a meal. THEN SHE'D GIVE IT TO ME! *melts*



here's us getting overpowered by children and love:













gracia!!! she keeps snatching the things i am giving out... only to pass it to someone i'd apparently missed out. OMG THESE KIDS ARE SO GUAI!!! T_T







after this set of photos we got chided for letting the children get so rowdy. :P

our bad! sorry! heh.

here's our last week in David's Club - the craft session for that week was a tough one!



national day celebration - we gave the children some milo and they were extremely happy. they kept sitting at their seats quietly sipping at their cup and trying to prolong their drink. ahhhh so cute...



JEREMIAH!!





gladys and gerard; it was quite sad for me because gerard had finally become friendly with me... on my last day. :(



more jeremiah. he's really too cute la. oh when we sing and dance in a circle, he loves pressing his face into alvin's butt. i was highly amused; alvin - not so much.







isaac! he always has a foolish grin on him. :D:D:D



gerard doing his ultraman impersonation. just look at those intense eyes! he's really into it. :D



the other boys have their super powers too:







joyce who is the naughtiest and most ADHD out of all the children. and worst still, she's the gang leader. but i think she was the first i bonded with, so when she was disciplined by me, she really listened! YAY I CONTRIBUTED YAY!



aww, gerard. :(



hello, shana! :)









oh no, where's fu yi's bowl hair cut???

well, here're the two boys who are part of alvin's posse. :)

seriously, who wouldn't want to have a lion around them??



grace - super well behaved and sweet. her smile will absolutely melt you.



tse yang!



shana is not as tall as she looks here, she's got michelin legs and doesn't even come up to my butt.



busy eating her marshmallow:



that week's helpers!



AND I FINALLY MANAGE TO GET A PHOTO OF JOYCE AND HER SISTER JOEY (with the sweetest curls in her hair). dunno why they suddenly act shy, it's so unlike them. :)



packing up with rachel and jerry:



ARGH I MISS NURSERY SO MUCH!!!!!!!
