Paper frogs





The kids always make me think. They are so tiny, yesterday when one hopped on the other and stood on the scale; they added up to 50 kilos (not even a full Si Jie).

They chose to be crazy about paper frogs over expensive toys. (Yeah, nobody buys for them). I sat down two days ago one evening watching 7 kids blowing the paper frogs from one end of the table to the other, repeatedly, for one hour, giggling and laughing.

Then, all would get distracted from their Cartoons and gathered around to check out on a bug, flying moth, or any insects that is unlucky enough to be seen. When they are watching cartoons, I am invisible (they usually approach me asking where I’ll be going). When they saw a bug, the TV will turn invisible.

So, by deduction, I am less than a bug.

Then you thought they are all cute and innocent. But one manage to survive in a garbage dump after the parents passed away for a year before was found by social worker. One manage to live alone in a Market since 3 years old, then ran away from the centre 5 years later to 20 km away to see his family out from prison.

I brought 8 to a park yesterday, to join a farewell of a staff.

Food + Soft drinks + chocolate ice-cream + paddle boat trip + taking pictures + outdoor = a Happy day to remember!

Galong ( a 35 year old man with a form of down-syndrome) was dressed up since 8 am to go to this trip which started at 1.30 pm.
