A Wonderful Unexpected Experience

On a fine Thursday morning, I was supposed to go swimming and then dad suddenly had a change of plans.The conversation went something like this. “ Heather ! Daddy has to go meet the contractor at the new house... So I am dropping you off at mummy's school first ok?”said Daddy. “O.o. ok.”

So I went.. bringing my iPod to fill up my time.. When I reached there... “Hat, why are you here?” asked a horrified mummy. “Owh. Nothing. Daddy need to meet the contractor so I come here as he says all the dust is not good for me. Relax,”I said. “Haiya. But I got visitors coming and and I am busy. Nevermind lah, you go into this classroom and help the teacher,”mummy said. “WHAT??!!! But I don't know how... ??? I have never worked with people having intellectual disabilities,”I suddenly freaked out..

So anyway, I went and to my surprise, I was amazed at what these kids ( well, 14-18)...teenagers .. can do.. I'll tell you one incident.

In Chinese..
Teacher: Eh. Why you don't chia Heather to eat?
Student: I chia her tomorrow.
Everyone laughs... (Heather: (Blush^^)
Student: I'll buy 6 packets of keropok tomorrow.
Teacher: Haiya, 6 packets where got enough? So many people .
Student: Nevermind. I buy 6 ta pau (big ones). Then enough?
Teacher: Hmm.. I think like that enough.

I was like... WOW!! I didn't know these kids could actually talk fluently like that.. In Chinese... (Better than mine),.. LOL. So in conclusion, I had a fabulous time.. even though it was only for about 45 minutes. I truly enjoyed my time with them and I 100% want to go back and help as much as I can nowadays rather than just helping annually during the sales.. I think it'll be fun hanging out with these kids... I can actually learn A LOT....
