Imaginings
ABOUT the girl

My imaginings - stripped down bare and back to the basics.
Because life really doesn't need to be that complicated.

Wheee!

When was the last time you navigated through a foam maze?
Or when did you last crawl through a neon orange tunnel, and get to play with slides, and brightly coloured balls??
And when did you last celebrate Children's Day?


I did all of those - and MORE! :)

As part of my workplace's involvement with community events, approx 20 of us got to spend half the day playing with kids from the Autistic Association of Singapore. It was unbelievably fun!

In case you're curious, autistic kids look very much like regular kids. It's only that they have might have issues with social skills, but this can also be improved with therapy.

So anw! My kid was quite exceptional!
She came up to me, pointed at me and demanded "What is your name! I want to play with you!"
She was really high energy, yet very caring for someone so young! (She's only 6)
She was running all over the place, and kept holding my hand to make sure I'm behind her.




She made sure I got through the obstacles - I promise the maze is strictly kids-size only! There's no room to even stand! And at tunnels when I was trying to let the other kids pass, she would stop and scream my name.
"Jiahui!!! Faster! You scared of tunnel is it? Don't scared ok! You can do it one." hahahahaha.




(She was gesturing and saying cheese. Then I got the hint she wanted our picture taken! This young girl can really pose... I love this pic!)


Even while it was time to go home, and my colleagues and I were just chatting around, she came looking for me, held my hand and asked to play somemore.

Absolutely adorable :) She had so much love it's incredible.
I had signed up thinking I'm going there to bless someone that day.
Little did I know that I would be the one being blessed so much more :)


Well here's wishing you a very very VERY


Cos you're never too old to still be a child :)
