Christmas 4 Kidz

Christmas 4 Kids or C4k in short is an event tat i joined to help out the less fortunate children~~ it was organised by hands of hope (one of the church comminities) and although i didnt choose to do anything tat had to do with children.. i was inexplicably chosen to do Balloon twisting (which was wat i didnt choose) and Setting/Packing up (which was wat i chose).. luckily for me i had some experience with balloon twisting during my teenage yrs so NO PROB! but the worst was yet to come ... stay tuned!

ok the day started off at 3.30am .. yes 3.30AM! gosh... the day b4 we just sent Karena off to the airport and i reached back at around 11++ and god knows why but i watched 2 anime episodes b4 i slept (Watched Lelouch of the Rebellion!! if u havent watch it go watch it now!! its damn good) so in the end i slept at around 12am giving me... 3.5 hrs of sleep.. IMPENDING LACK OF SLEEP!! anyway my alarm rang and the sky was dark ... but surprisingly (or not) my housemate was still wide awake.. anyway~~ i left at 4am and was the last to reach the gathering pt.. abit paiseh la.. but i mean everybody was kinda zombified also..when we went there... it was work straight away.. move here carry tat... btw.. the day b4 i had to help out with collecting stuff prior to this but we only had like 8 ppl to do it with... so we had like onli 5 ppl to carry 350 chairs here and there(which was absolutely nuts!) and 3 ppl to get 30 tables...anyway back to topic.. yea so we worked like tat all the way till.. 7.30 or so?? b4 i registered as a volunteer at the counter.. then woot straight away to work at my booth ~~!! i had like around 1 hr to acquaint with my new found honkie/korean/aussie friends and also learn new balloon tricks at the same time!! and by the time we knew it.. in came the nitemar... i mean kids =p.. haha

4.30am
4.45am
5.30 am!!
and so in came the kids.. at first it was manageable.. but soon our booth became quite popular and it was exactly like peak hr at Tuas navy base man.. non stop twisting and turning of balloons... balloons going pop here bang there flying everywhere... at first i made these angel wings for myself.. just for fun and laughter.. but someone saw me wearing it and said.. ' i would like one angel wing too!' gosh.. that took me at least 15 min to make !! and i was like.. Take mine! then.. just like ants... they called comrades to ask for more... and i was like.. NOOOOOOO!!!! HAVE MERCY!!! so in the end i had to make swords for them... i tink swords were like the most popular...i kept making sword after sword after sword.. and kids really know how to come up with impossible or very hard to do designs like kangaroo, bear, axe, shield.. u name it .. i cant make it... to top it off.. our girls (apparently the girls are better at twisting balloons) went MIA halfway!!! and when they asked for designs like flowers/butterflies.. i was like.. WHERE ARE THE GIRLS!!! ~.~ then after a few min i see them walking back with paint on their faces... obviously enjoying themselves somewhere else while leaving the poor ol boys to fend the Horde of Kids !! but at least they came back la *haiz*

this is wat happens when u wake up at 3am
rachel with her 'flowers' ----DUN LAUGH!! I KNOW ITS A GHEY PIC
after 4 hrs of Aja Aja fiting! it all ended!! at around 3pm or so.. no more kids.. poopified.. but that wasnt the end... nooo.. there was wat they call PACK UP!.. in my mind i was like... u gotta be kidding me man.. but hey .. its all for a good cause ... so yea.. pack pack pack .. move move move.. we even had to go to an incinerator plant about 10 min drive away to dump ALL the rubbish.. reminded me of an excursion i did when i was in primary school to tuas incineration plant.. yea.. it stank. dunt ask anymore... then we came back .. packed somemore b4 finally heading home... *AMEN!* came back.. took a bath.. and BAM! slept straight away when i hit the bed.. was supposed to go liwens house for dinner.. but i woke up at like.. 1am? gone case man.. total internal clock failure after tat... so i did wat everyone would do.... sleep somemore.. another day gonez~~
p.s. SORRY RACHEL!! I DIDNT MEAN TO STEAL URE EEYORE!~~
