I am beginning to love SL a lot,
okay, other than the fact that I have 2 very adorable children under me,
I find that with each session, these supposedly disadvantaged children are teaching me something new.

It's been a very humbling experience.
A few posts ago saw me bemoaning the noise and chaos in each SL session,
now I begin to find the noise melodious!
Haha, yes yes, that was exaggeration, but as the weeks went by
I started to accept the chaos.
This acceptance then evolved into a certain sort of appreciation.
Imagine... Saying hello to the kids and they all look so dead and lifeless...

These are the pure and innocent minds,
unsoiled by the regularity and order of the world.
Their's is the natural form of human reaction -
the huge, unrestrained guffaws,
the carefree singing aloud,
the careless display of emotions...

Think out of the box...
These children need not be reminded,
I suppose they've never been in a box,
or rather they haven't realised.
Listen to their questions,
they can make you laugh.

This little boy called Wira drew a picture today.
It was really hilarious when he explained the drawing-
He had drew a few people standing in line.
One had tremendously long legs.
When asked why, he simply said
"that one is Yin Hong jiejie!"
That made all of us laugh so hard, and poor Wira was so lost!

When we were about to leave the centre, I dawned upon revelation.

Me: " Have you ever wondered why Wira did not draw long arms, or a long body, or large head for Yin Hong, but only long legs?"

Yin Hong: "Huh? Why?"

Me:" Cos at their level, all they can see are our legs!"

It was so hilarious,
Their innocence can really make you smile...
