Bendi - Go!

Wow! That was a wonderful weekend in Bendigo! haha, it was enjoyable...but a little frustrating as well. We arrived at the campsite on Friday afternoon. It was a rather run-down campsite in the forresty area. haha, exactly like those scout camps shown in movies. The camp was for children from the age of 2-13. So, the kids were to stay in the shabby cabins at the campsite, while the parents(including my sis and i) were to live in comfortable 3-star motels.

I brought tons of homework over, expecting to do 3/4s of it over the weekend. But guess what? The younger kids (2-6) were separated from the older kids (7-13). Sonja, Danica and Grace were the only 3 leaders taking care of the younger kids, the ratio was like 3:15. It was a little too overwhelming for Sonja, so my sis and i decided to help them out. In the end, i didn't do much work at all. The only work i did was when i stayed up till 12am in the night.

haha, despite that, it was really fun taking care of the young kids. It can get really depressing sometimes when they don't listen to you, or when they start fighting, or when they want something that you can't get them and they start kicking up a big fuss. haha, the list goes on. But it's really comforting, and sometimes satisfying when they call you by name to ask of a favour.

I like this 2-year old boy, Nicholas, in particular. He's just SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO adorable. ASk my sis if you don't believe me. haha, i'm not the kindda guy that says kids are cute, but this dude; he's just adorable. He's only 2, and he can converse pretty well! he has an innocent look, and he loves to be carried. Moreover, he has an awesome memory. He remembered my name right from the moment i introduced myself. haha, he's better than i at remembering names.

I really loved the camp, i got to know many more FGA people better. Also, i could finally get my mind of work for a while. Back to work tomorrow! haha, oh yea, the food at the camp was terrific! haha, it was really good. Fried rice, Roasted chicken with plum sauce, tender grilled steak, spaghetti, etc. What's better than that? haha, thanks to all the hard working cooks in the kitchen!

Alright, it's now time to do something really worthwhile.
