International Friendship Day
Last Friday, the 13th of April, Singapore celebrated International Friendship Day in its public schools. Hei Chin, an NTU AIESEC Alumni and the National Education coordinator of Queensway Secondary School, sent me a desperate plea for help; she had run out of ideas to show her kids about international friendship.
Thus we hatched a plan; that day, I, Attila(from Hungary, working in DHL) and René(from Germany, now back in Germany) went down to the school to address the WHOLE SCHOOL during their morning assembly.
It was an interesting experience for myself, I don't think I've publicly addressed so many people at one go, certainly not a secondary school assembly like that. Heck, I've not even gone to a secondary school assembly since 2000. Haha.
But it was pretty fun! The children were quite lively for 740am, and quite supportive with 'whoo's and 'yeah's and clapping. I have to admit though that I was a little nervous. Basically I shared my own experience about making friends all over the world through a few opportunities(mainly AIESEC), and encouraged them to explore the world too, and seize all the opportunities available. I think the 3 of us shared a psychic link so Attila(or Pixi, as he is known by his friends) and Rene also spoke about very similar things.
After that, Pixi, Rene, I took a picture for the school magazine, sitting with the kids in assembly (and doing cute 'v' signs), we're still waiting for that picture from Hei Chin. And we proceeded to have an authentic secondary school breakfast, with kaya toast, sandwiches and tea.
Fun!

Ever felt so much for something, but somehow however you express it doesn't seem to be the right way? How do I express it then... hmmm.
What I want to express? Love? Care? Concern? All the above... Yes that includes you reading it now. Hope you're doing well :)
Well, just know that I feel that way. G'nite!
