What's up? I told myself I'd only blog tomorrow after school as part of my self-control process, but I figured, since I have a few hours of free time, I'd just blog anyway. 

On the 2nd and 3rd of January, I volunteered at Punggol Green Primary School as part of CIP, for their orientation. I took a cab from Pasir Ris with Sidra and the cab fare was so high ($14) because even with GPS, the taxi driver couldn't find the school. Eli was waiting for me at the drop-off point so we walked to the indoor basketball court and took attendance. I was surprised that I was assigned to a Primary 2 class, but oh well. We had to help kids into the hall and some kids didn't even know their class, then I had to ask their parents haha. I was assigned to class 2C, with a few guys: Zhi Yi, Wilson, Aniq, Jun Hong and a girl (yay) Jia Yi. I'm awkward as f, so I don't think I talked much. First, we helped the teacher collect books from the students - I think I'm pretty efficient muahaha. Then we had to play bonding games with the class so we played hangman or something. Then recess!! We (the volunteers) were each assigned 5 students I think to take care of during recess. I was scared I couldn't remember who I was in charge of so guess what, I actually took a picture of them. I wasn't in the mood to eat so I just queued up with them and accompanied them to eat and then accompanied them to queue for drinks. We were given a break after their recess to have our own breakfast/lunch, but I still didn't want to eat so I just sat there like awksss because they're all talking and I'm like ... I'm just gonna play with my phone. We went up early because there was nothing to do, and helped the kids out with some of their worksheets - family trees and "all-about me" worksheets. It was quite tiring for me to always squat down to help them because I have really really bad knees haha but I survived. Eli asked me to wait for her after I got dismissed because she got dismissed late, then she wanted me to accompany her to the toilet, and guess what, after I waited so much, she ran off and ditched me to get a taxi and she left me there. I'm pretty sure I walked 2 kilometres before a taxi actually stopped for me. On the plus side, the fare was cheaper ($6).

Class on the first day! Or was this the second day...

The next day, Sid and I went to take a cab again, and this taxi driver didn't even have a GPS so he got really lost and when I gave him directions, he didn't want to listen to me, so I reached my school 10 minutes late, and Sidra told me the fare ended up being $20. I was really pissed. That day, I don't actually remember what happened. I think they did more worksheets, then it was recess again. The teacher told us not to come up before 12! We all thought the teacher didn't like us as volunteers haha but to our surprise, they were making something for us!
