deep within

My first day working at the dinosaur exhibition at singapore science centre was fun! but tiring :P Guess it was the lack of sleep before that lah…(went to holland village with church frens after cell group)

I don’t know why but all of my jobs xcept for 1 or 2 deal with kids!!!! Why? hahaha..it’s just so funnylar but i really love them..sigh..altho’ i don’t really show it (or so i might think) :P It makes me wonder how some people could abuse children! :’(

Children can be so adorable (or not!) and looking at them..i just wish that i could be a kid again! The whole world is ahead of them, they have much less to worry about, their view of life has not been scarred with setbacks, hurts etc.

Back to the exhibition- it was actually mainly about Sue, the world’s largest and most complete (90%) T.rex discovered and Stan as well (another T.rex, 65% complete) but the kids being kids were more interested with the other kiosks like the sand pit with ‘dinosaur’ bones, DIY cardboard dinosaur …

At the sand pit: The kids kept digging up the bones and i kept burying them back until at one point of time I actually suggested a new game ie. ‘Why don’t you close your eyes and count to 10, let us hide the bones and then you find them after that?’ Hah..so much better after that, letting them bury the bones and to dig them up again while I just play along sometimes and do my job which is not letting anyone get hurt by the bones..some of them were quite sharp you know….some others were very cute, showing me every bone they find with this look of accomplishment on their faces…some had other agendas like building sand castles, acting like dogs digging for bones, taking sand and throwing them! some kept asking me which bone this and that was..and some asked ‘ Do you know what a blah-blah-blah-blah-saurus is? *blink blink* Thank God that there wasn’t much need for any form of sternness coz the kids were so obedient if i tell them not to do smtg…yay!

The other 2 kiosks (DIY cardboard dino and pencil shading) were not as interesting but they were at least not so tiring! (I now begin to understand more and more after each job why my mother was always so tired after work :P) DIY stands for do-it-youself right? Even with some guidance, some kids were just very difficult to teach! Some just kept shouting ‘Excuse me! Excuse me! Can you help me?’ at EVERY single step of the process! Made me feel like tearing out my hair… But once the kid gets it..it’s like wow! snowball effect :P Just need one to teach another…many of course had their parents with them and most of the time…the parents end up doing everything.

Much to learn about the exhibition and tried avoiding questions directed to me. Guess there’s still time to learn tho’

Sidetrack- I’ve realized that a fellow blogger has made it up to Kota Kinabalu! Oh nooo..need to train..need to train…
