Nightmare of HighlandsDuring the august's holidays, I went to Cameron Highlands to help up a church occasion. Its for Married Youth anyway, but I'm asked to become, A Babysitter. Shu Wei, another Sabah sister and me were given this "Mission Impossible" ( That what it happens when you are fierce but caring XD)
So,everything ran up quite smoothly... We told stories ( created by ourselves), we went and asked everywhere for papers and pencils for them to reveal their creativity, Shu Wei bought mini strawberries and have done all sorts of things, just to make them sit down and control their mood.. Its undeniably TOUGH! But I feel that we still don't really make things right..

On the last day, we were exactly runnning out of ideas....... Question marks all over us. So, it made us decide to let them have a fun time by playing games (We were actually in a living hall of an apartment) . So, the kids started cheering and we can really feel those excitements and hope in thier teeny weeny eyes.. Therefore, we felt that this idea will gonna be fun and it finally works! After deciding what games to play, giving away instructions, reminding them to becareful, bla bla and bla bla................ and then they started to stand by their own position, knowing their roles AND... START! Wuh~ The laughters really cheer them up, as if like it painted colours into their dark, blue sky~ XD

* Suddently, a little girl fell and then run towards me. She cried and claimed that her hand was in pain. And when I look at her hand, I'm shocked, afraid, anxious and tears automatically fell down my cheek.. "Oh God, help me and also little Angie..", Thats all that keep repeating in my heart. And at once I kneel down and pray. The other teachers also asked everyone and pray. I prayed that God will reveal His miracle, I prayed that her little hand(right) will be fine, and I prayed that parents will still have trust in the teachers... One of the teacher ran to the occasion room and quickly inform little Angie's parents. Meanwhile, I kept blaming myself.. Why on earth did I let them play? Why I didn't keep an eye on them? Why did I lost my 2 seconds of concentration?! And I know, its MY fault! (Still crying)
Thank God little angie's mom is a nurse, an understanding,lovely nurse. She was calm and she checked her hand, she claimed that everything gonna be alright and let Angie comfort and calm me down. ~ "Jie jie, everythings gonna be alright..." They rushed to the nearby hospital..
A few hours later, they came back. With Angie's little arm in bandage.. Her mom says that she have fractured her arm, it will takes ONLY one or two months to recover... And I prayed that it will...
On Dec 2008,I was attending Youth Theological Traning Course in Petaling Jaya church. I saw her...Playing with the other kids..
Her hand recovered... Its indeed a MIRACLE of God !
I didn't except that she recovered is such a short time..
~Thank God, You have it all arranged... I've got your lesson..
I will become a better teacher in the future,
I will serve the small ones, just like you..
and
I'm always needing your guidance and care..
