blessed children's day-9 oct 2011

claire invited trisha and lucas to our church for a children's day party this morn.

joy and i decided to skip the main adult service to join in the children's group. partly also to help watch over white's young kids.

for the 1st time, joy finally witnessed how bold and spontaneous trisha was. she raised her hand, without any need of prompting (claire, r u reading this?), to participate in a game. the way she strutted out, haha, with such confidence!

her group came in first and she was given 3 chocolate bars. happily returning to her seat, joy and i had fun watching what went next.

guess what? it was lucas' turn to want to play the game, despite his young age. trisha, plus joy and me, escorted him to the game corner. he was slowly separating the color balls into different cups, while trisha kept her helping hands off....joy commented that trisha is really honest with playing games, unlike the typical kiasu behaviour of many singaporean kids, haha. even i was so tempted to help lucas to speed up his process...but resisted lah.

lucas' team won too and he gaily returned to his seat with 3 hershey chocolate bars. i teased him,"u want me to keep them for u?" he cleverly replied,"ah ah...it's not heavy lah, very light, i can put in my pockets!"

he skilfully tucked in one chocolate each into his left and right pocket of his shirt. i asked if he wanted me to help keep his 3rd bar, he said,"hmm...i still hv another pocket in my pants lah!"

ha, claire, there went ur chocolate bar down the drain. as for trisha, when she got hers, she willingly shared it with lucas and just chucked the other 2 remaining ones into her water bottle. white's 2 kids are really different in handling things, haha. the boy is smarter while the girl is a sweet innocent girl!

while joy and i were singing the songs in the dark with light sticks in hand, halfway, we spotted lucas using his light stick 'fighting' with 2 other boys...actually, they were the ones to 'lure' him out of his 'quiet den'...it was such a hilarious sight to see him blocking his attackers' blow with his different hand patterns, acting like a warrior. joy and i really laughed our heads off to see him so cute and innocent...and that smug look on his face!

in fact, i was really glad the 2 kids were sporty, when it came to singing session too, especially lucas. think he enjoyed the puppet show the most.

then came the finale... when one fellow member asked if anyone would like to accept jesus into their hearts. guess who did? haha, it was indeed trisha, the bold and spontaneous girl. i told joy,"maybe she thot they were asking for game participants!" joy asked,"mom, do u think trisha knws what she's in for? or maybe the holy spirit is leading her!" well, i chose to think so too!

so, she and few others were led into the 'sacred room' to say the sinner's prayer. trisha was scratching her legs with spluttering eyelashes while being talked to. when she was led into prayer, her eyes were supposedly closed. but when joy and i peeped at her from outside the glass door, we spotted her eyes slightly open to 'peep' around....another funny laughter from joy and me.

lastly, it was makan session. the kids had great time eating nuggets, sausages, fishballs, cakes/cupcakes....claire had 3 helpings while trisha, 2.

luas came back to our home to 'shit' it out, haha.

hubby teased trisha saying,"i will call u tonight to make sure that u say your prayer and amen!" she showed a helpless look, not knowing how to tacklet this uncle's lame attack.

more importantly, white had great time with spouse at roland's restaurant. she texted me thereafter, saying that she finally had time to eat slowly, not needing to take trouble to ensure that the kids ate first, but more importantly, she could order her own favourite dimsum...poor white! but, i was sure exhausted after the whole affair with 2 young kids!
