i feel good... again.. [one-day-nanny]

today marks another memorable day.. woke up early in the morning, fetched my brother to church and headed to mc donald's to meet up with my friends and then to lost world of tambun for a charity event organised by sunway club.. there were supposed to be 200 orphans - 100 from ipoh and 100 from penang but i wonder if the ipoh ones turned up..anyway, my friends and i volunteered ourselves to take care of a child each and some 2.. i got 1.. randomly picked a kid who looked good.. as in, not naughty and off we went..

it wasn't really easy to entertain a shy kid like her and i really felt i made her feel bored and lonely and i felt sad when she told me she wanted to play with her cousin who was taken care of by someone else whom i don't really know.. but i felt really happy each time she remembered to look for me rather than just stray away somewhere and make me look for her..thank God i didn't have to hunt for her.. oh yeah at one point she abandoned me because she wanted to join her friends but didn't in the end probably because she couldn't.. haha.. i felt like her servant sometimes but a delighted one.. i felt happy each time she requested me to do something for her..

the climax of the event for me was when i lost the rented tube.. i left it under my friend's care to 'escort' 2 lil kids up to take the slide and when i came down, it was gone.. 'my kid of the day' ran around with me searching high and low for it because it is numbered and after running one whole round around, we found it somewhere near where we lost it.. having to run around with me like that, she didn't mind at all.. i at first felt a lil bit regret choosing such a quiet and shy girl like her but later i'm grateful i got her.. we returned the tube and quickly went to change our clothes to prepare to go home.. as she walked towards the bus going back to penang, she looked back at me a few times and waved goodbye with a sincere smile.. so i guess, she liked me afterall? lol..

i came back feeling really good.. despite all the tiredness, body aches and minor scratches on my legs...i'm not crazy but i felt happy looking at the scratches because it brought back those memories..and not forgetting, sunburn! i didn't realise at all that i've got sunburn till i came home and saw my red face (not the whole face).. like one who's drunk..LOL..and i actually love it..and i don't think i've ever seen my face red like that..it usually turns dark instantly .haha. it's been a while since i last got sunburn and that feels good too..

the stripe caused by the tube rental strap.. funny how i had a strap around each wrist but only striped on one wrist.. it must have been a tighter one according to my sis and indeed, it's true..the other one was looser so nothing happened..

guess that's all for now.. till then!

p/s. i again realised that God really assured me that when my prayers seemed to be unanswered, He indeed has an awesome plan behind it..
