Special Olympics
On sat. I went volunteering with my mom and bro for this Tzu Chi Special Olympics thing(Olympics for mentally retarded people). My mom's friend also came along. We decided to drove her and her twins together. The twins are guys that's going to be seniors at NHS. Pretty big huh? yeah, i know. Anyways, on the car I had to
sit next to them. It was...pretty awkward...
in a good way. *wink* *wink* ;D
The event was held at the park across from Bellevue Square. It was actually pretty fun. There were food and drinks. I ate a
vietnamese sandwich! an asian bread, fruit punch, and other stuff. And basically what I did was play with them. You know, like the Olympics. Special Olympics.
Some of the "special" people there were really talented. Like, this one that could draw really well, and this other guy knew how to play the trumpet. They were pretty cool.
Anyways, after spending around 5-6 hours there (from 12-5 or 6pm), we headed home..with the twins. The car ride back wasn't as awkward, considering that
we've just spent around 5 hours together.
And that's about it, for that day.
I can't believe school is gonna start tomorrow. Summer wasn't long enough. I need more time to rest and play and sleep in and watch canton dramas.
Well, I guess the fun has to end somehow, someday.
I remember 3 years ago, when I had cancer. I remember the day before school started (for normal people) and I was in the hospital. And I was so happy that I didn't have to go to school. Sigh. Let's go back to that day shall we? Where I don't have to worry about school for a long time.
Anyways, that's it for now...wish me luck in 8th grade!!
