hmmm...

today: get to HQ at 9.00am
fact: 842am, i'm still on bus 86, along yio chu kang road..

of coz i'm worried... and when a group of students from MINDS boarded the bus with their teachers (going for a field trip i guess) , u can expect the first thing that comes to my mind is "Oh my god.....the slow bus is gonna get slower...." i'm more worried for myself.

but only after 2mins, wat i saw removed all my uneasiness... and indeed, for a person whose last volunteer work was (more or less) a nightmare, it was something very nice... despite that fact that the kids are from a "special" school, they were surprisingly very well behaved... the scene of them boarding the bus (and getting off later) orderly is something u would never expect from a "normal" primary sch... (mind u, it's public transport somemre) ... they were not playing or fooling in e bus, and were not making much noise at all. When the teacher guides one of the kid how to hold on to the handrails on top, the rest of them followed suit, despite not told to do so. And when on of the lady gave her seat to one of them, the kid gave back what could be one of the warmest smile u ever saw...

mentally, they could not be as strong as "normal" kids. but that aside, they could be much more better than those who are supposed to be "intelligent".. really made me to think.
