RHCBC Kids' Clubhouse Visit!

WOW! I realized I haven't updated my blog in a while! I wrote part of (only) one entry last month that I haven't gotten around to finishing which I hope to post soon also. I guess I just haven't been in the mood for blogging lately, not just writing my own, but not really much in the mood to read my friendS' blogs either. As I like to say nowadays when I am honest about "how are you?", I'm having the "worse summer ever"! Today I went to visit RHCBC Kids' Clubhouse 2005 with my friend John. It was an amazing experience, makes me so happy I could almost forget my "worse summer ever" if even just for an instance. :/ Oh ya, I guess I should combine the "godly" entry I was going to write about the softball captaining rejection with the rest of my rantings of why I'm having the "worse summer ever". I wanna try to copy from other peoples' style too, having some "godly" entries with some bible verseS and all.

As soon as I got there, I saw Justin Yu with Martin, which kinda singled him out from the rest of the crowd. Hehe, no doubt, my instinct was right, he was in trouble again :P LOL, sadly, that's about the most memorable thing I remember from camp, the fact that he would always misbehave and I would have to try to control him. But actually, it was not a complete painful memory, quite joyful actually, cause he was only 5 last year and this year he's 6, so like I would hold him when I wanna keep him from running and I needed to hold him in order to get him to stay still to listen to what I have to say to discipline him. And I enjoyed that... :P I love being able to hold kids ;) I remember the other little Justin Chan too, he was like only 3, so cute... Like Brian said "he's clingy" when I asked him how to translate he's "so [dair]"... I really loved the fact that out of all my kids, he would be the one most often asking me to hold him. :) Awww... BTW, I put a picture of that on my Friendster ;) Haha S told me not to chase him (Justin Yu) again today ("don't chase him...") Awww... brings back memories too, She would always tell me that last year, quite a number of times, maybe cause I dun obey :P But it would be sad if that's all she ever said to me. I disagree though, and it's nothing personal against her. I know maybe Justin thinks it's a game and it's probably true he does want me to "chase him", but he just doesn't listen when I don't chase him and just tell him to "stop" or "come here"...And the thing is, I honestly think he thinks he can just run away whenever he is in trouble and not face the consequences, so as I was saying before, if I don't "capture" and hold him from escaping, like I saw Martin doing today when I first got there, it would be impossible to actually talk to him to explain what he's doing is wrong and that he's in trouble. Plus sometimes he runs away to get food or drink when he's not supposed to (cause he should be sitting down watching&listening), so if I don't go after him to stop him or take the food away, how else can I enforce the fact he can't do what he wants to do at the moment cause it isn't the time for it... After, if I tell him to "stop" when he runs and he doesn't stop, if I tell him to put it away, he would probably just go on eating... *rolls eyes* I want to teach him at this delicate young age that he can't just do whatever he wants and then just run away when he knows we're about to punish him for his actions. So ya... I just don't totally agree, nothing perSonal S... Justin Yu is quite cute though, I can see why Grace loved/loves him so much, I just hope he's not spoiled. :P Haha, I remember that one time I was talking about Justin Yu to some of my CCF friends from his church, the Richmond Logos Baptist Church and Darren was like "You mean baldy?" and I'm like "Haha, ya, he is kinda a baldy..." (he has really short hair)... I assume they are also familiar with his bad behaviour. I wonder if my "daughter" (as her nickname has always been since our CCF Coffee House skit) Lisa has ever had to babysit him.

I got the chance to hold Justin Yu back from being a pest trying to crawl under the stage when they were putting it back and stuff... and he was like "You stinky head..." and I was like "Where's the 'you poo poo' huh?" :P "Where's the 'you poo poo'?" And he was like "You poo poo..." :P Hehehe... it worked... ;) Maybe he was going to say that anyway. :P Awww... I so miss that :( Even if it's meant to be a a spiteful comment on his part :P I really wished I hadn't been a fool to think I could find a job by now and applied there again for this year! I SO would rather be working there right now than at First String Sports where I work part time making a lot less $ cause a lot less hours and the job is so boring. (I've written this entry over several days) Especially yesturday when there were like 0 customers for even longer than usual, like nearly dead for like 2 hours... It may be easier working there than at Kid's Clubhouse, but I dun mind the extra work and stress if it's doing something I love, working with kids. ;) I also saw some of the other kids I knew from my class last year. I thought I saw Vincent, but apparently it's someone else it seemed like... I saw Teddy and just like Justin Yu, he couldn't recognize me when I had my sunglasses clip on. :P He was like "Ooooh! I remember you! But I forgot your name!" I showed him my name as the label Nick set on the cellphone he gave me which I never changed and he's like "Oh ya...". When Justin Yu took my phone from me to play with it, he was like "Hey, it's your name...", that was how he remembered too :P Teddy also asked "Why you come today?" and I was like "To visit you!" (touch him on the nose, hehe)... Natalie also remembered me and asked the same question and when I also told her "To visit you..." she was like "I miss you too..." and later at dinner when I told Canice and John, they also thought the same way I did ->"Awwww...." :) Then we recapped a bit more on Kid Clubhouse times shared what's going on in that ministry this year...Afterwards I was going to go to SALT, but since we were celebrating John's B-day, I decided to stick with him and we all went over to his cousin's house to play Tekken 5 instead of going to fellowship. Well actually I know John hasn't been going to fellowship for a while and I'm not sure if his cousins go to fellowship or not... I thought Bing goes to SALT though. Anyhow, they were and continue to be (as I played more times with them after since the date of this OLD entry :P) amazed at my ability to throw them around (like an attack when the body slam the person or do other grab&throw type attacks) in the game. As Jason puts it "[Chee-seen ga]" (craziness), haha :P If only I could "throw" that well in Softball :P There are some pretty cool attacks when you grab/throw for some characters though. They told me this character named "King" can kill the other person in one throw attack, provided you know the combination of keys to press during the throw though :P There's also this other character I used to "stab" Jason's character with a Samurai sword like at least 3 times in the same round :P Then on a later day when I went to play them again, the Saturday I was staying over at John's house because of the fellowship cup, I used this other character, "Jack" I believe it was, who had mechanical arms like that character in Mortal Kombat who's throw attack was like spinning the guy around on his back many times and increasing to a really fast speed then throwing them, kinda like a wrestling move :P Then we went out to BBTea afterwards with some of John's Highschool friends as part of his B-day celebration also. We talked and stuff, apparently I found out that one of his friends was making more $ than him working at Congee Wong (as a waiter) than John was making at his "Engineering job" :P Haha, that was kinda jokes...That pretty much wrapped up the evening, afterwards I showed John my modification of my side markers when I had no choice but to change them because my original left one fell off when I was driving on the highway (as some of you may know. Everyone whom I've showed them to so far thinks they look "good" or "great". :)

Not sure who invented it, but presently, it has been a number of years ago now that I have heard someone express that "a generation is ...
