I wonder how God feels when he imagines his awesome plans but man chose to take the long journey to get there.
I imagine it to be big, to be something new and Moving Up...but I have no idea where it's all headed...which bugs meeeee. Do I just settle with simple and laid back since the awesome doesn't seem like it will happen and it may be just because I looked forward to having That as a super chun event?
God help me. To not be half-hearted. To accept what's reasonable even when it's not the best it could be.

New things everyday...
This sem, I'm placed in different classes almost everytime I go to P&J. Meet more kiddos, know more names so I can greet them by name when I open doors for them and warm up with them only to find out I'm placed in another class another day.
Today was special. After being once at the Saujana branch, I drove to the one in the one DJ and spent 4 hours there since they were short-handed. When I got there, I realized that the school was this huge 2 storey house. During meal time, they have their own decorated/designed mats with their names on it so that they know where to sit. They even have dessert after meals! (Today's was fruit cocktail). They brush their teeth after lunch, each having their own toothbrush, toothpaste and comb on their mini trays on the shelves. So cute.
The only small struggle I had there was the inability to converse in mandarin. There were about 10 primary school children there who go to Yuk Chai and the teacher in charge speak to them in mandarin most of the time. I pretty much understood their convos at least...a mix of mandarin and english.
So, I spent most my time there towel drying the kiddos and helping them dress up. One boy jumps up and down while putting on his shirt instead of pulling it down. Another kept tucking his tummy in, fascinated with how his ribs were showing.
The best part of today was nap time. It was my first time in a daycare and the 'beds' they slept on were interesting. This green hard-rubbery-netting material. On top of each are their pillows, bolsters, blankets, and mini pillows for some. So comfy. The feel of being there and tucking them into bed was new to me, and it felt nice. How I wish I had this opportunity to nap when I was in kindi.
Don't know when I'll be returning there, but I hope to someday.
