c'est la guerre

I just feel as if what I’ve done wasn’t enough. Those 2+ hrs we were there, it went by really fast and it feels like it’s only a few minutes that I have been there. The speech I had given out was not at my max potential. I know I could have done better and I was too nervous to speak the words that was in my mind.

My initial thoughts were that since it’s gonna be a trouble having to entertain them as they were primary four and back when I was their age, my class was one naaaaasty bunch. As soon as I arrived the school, I was amazed and appalled at the band and the effort they put to construct that magnificent piece. Then it came down to the teaching part. I went into the class, and my thoughts totally changed about them. Their way of greeting us was BETTER THAN WHATEVER WE HAVE GOING ON. It was like ‘good morning’ in a quick 2 seconds. All my life, I have seen nothing like this and the way we do it is usually slurred and not given much life into. Teaching them was really really fun to do. The whole time we were there, they were really enthusiastic about everything they do and gave their all to complete the task at hand. A simple game of hangman may be so-so in terms of fun to us, but to them it brings joy and I can see it in their eyes. Even though we faced a few setbacks like trouble with communication and lack of items, we still managed to have fun with them. Playing the telematch with them was hella fun too. I was speechless at how they actually ran to every corner when we were leaving. The constant 'BYE ABANG AFIQ!!’ had me tear up for a while but I didn’t show it. The whole experience showed me that we all should appreciate what we already have and not complain for what we lack. Another thing is that this whole event has showed me for the first time how 3Sappire actually co-operated together put on quite a fabulous show.
