Block Fighter VS Block Doll & Halo-Halo!!

19th May 2010
BLOCK FIGHTER VS BLOCK DOLL

My dear YEP teammates made me look like “Chun Li” (the street fighter in game) because I’m teaching today!! Hahaha..

During craftwork, Chu helps the boys with the Block Fighter and I help the girls with the Block Doll. I must say that they are obedient and really get down to work when it is time to. During the process of teaching, their learning capabilities stunned me. They are not only fast learner but are very keen in picking up new things. They listen to instructions and express their interests while making their doll. I am very impressed with their standard of English and if not barred from financial difficulties, given a chance, I truly believed that they can excel in their studies. Overall, it was an enjoyable moment for me because I get to see the quieter side of the kids (they usually run about and always play games).

HALO-HALO

A cup of cold dessert under a 37ºC weather will never go wrong! I introduce everyone the Halo-Halo!! It’s their local dessert (something like “bobo chacha” dessert in Singapore): gem-like jelly, papaya, yam paste, banana, mango puree, evaporated milk and shaved ice. And it’s going at only 10 peso (S$0.30) per cup!! CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!! Hahaha..

It’s heavenly when the ice melts in your mouth and at this moment, everyone just indulge in their halo-halo. Image does not matter anymore, squatting by the kerb pavement enjoying the blissfulness is something you won’t get to see in Singapore! Well, I don’t deny that education is important for our future and work helps to keep us going, but the time spent with our family and friends should not be overlooked as well. Once time passed, there’s no way we can get it back. So start to do so if you have not!

CHEERS!!!
