Welcome to the stars in my eyes
the wonderkids session 2 days ago was quite meaningful though 3 of the talk cock gang wasnt around wif me. Sobzz, i was the poor 'o' loner. Haa, juz kidding la. I wasnt alone, i had the company of all the other volunteers and the kids wif me.
Entrusted wif the task of accompanying john, who is probably the most difficult to handle among all the other children. He wasnt naughty, he wasnt noisy, he wasnt really even quiet. He juz happens to live in his own world, one where no one exists, except his wonderful world of wonderbros and his passion for drawing. WHY wonderbros? i dunno. I guess he may be enchanted by the colurful shows, the interesting animations or something else? anyway, He wun even look at u, he wun even respond to u if u talk to him. juz give him a pen and paper and he would be totally engrossed and be drawn into his own fantasy world.
HE's got a knack for drawing. i think he's juz 6 or 7 if i am not wrong. and the things he can draw is amazing for his age!!! this particular session, he was drawing the logo of wonderbros. U can see how observant he was wif the details as he can remember the words on the logo and including the tm that followed wif it. (if u dunno wat the logo looks like, u probably dun live on earth. but i welcome martians or other aliens anyway). And he was a perfectionist. he would stop drawing every now and then to view his work, using both outstretched hands to hold his picture like an experienced artist. then he would add in the most intricate and delicate details till he was satisfied wif it. Being such a perfectionist, he drew 3 of the same drawings until the last one where he smiled to the picture wif an unaffected grin. He was obviously pleased wif his work.
Haizz, for all his talent, he was juz too withdrawn and altruistic. but he's gradually improving. wat heartens all the volunteers over at wonderkids is seeing that the kids are showing signs of improvement. IT may be litte, but we can still see the glitter. THey would always seem affable to me, even john too...
would like to end this post wif wat john wrote when i told him to write something on the whiteboard. wat he wrote led me to deeper thots too. "Welcome to the stars in your eyes".
Can u see the gliiter or sadness in my eyes even tho my words come out dead?
MOod: still convalescing. .
