It's interesting and fascinating at how each individual is so unique. We express ourselves differently. We think, feel, and relate to things differently. We share some similarities but the way in which no one can be exactly you... is intriguing. We're all growing and changing bit by bit.
Pon is usually the quieter one, but it took us by surprise at how she openly expressed her feelings to us... "Pi Elysia I love you!" and "Pi Bella thank-you! I love you! Jing Jing (really)!"
Suchart is a free-spirited boy. He plays well on his own and with everyone. Yet there was once he got off the truck and ran towards Elysia in the drizzle to give her a big tight hug. We were playing a propeller thing on my last afternoon with them, and out of the blue he said "Pi bella... hug!" For as far as I can remember, usually I would be the one asking or giving him a hug. That was probably one of the first few times he asked for a hug first. Wow
Sala exudes the 'sassy diva/princess' aura. In one of the games, we put wasabi in the sandwiches. Malisa who ate the wasabi sandwich couldn't take it and went to spit it out. What took us by surprise was how Sala took a bite of the wasabi sandwich (which definitely stung and it must have been exploding in her mouth) yet she continued to put on an act (they were supposed to act like they didn't get the wasabi sandwich) and even popped the remaining wasabi sandwich into her mouth. That was amazing
Kampee is all grown up, a big boy now. Didn't get to hang around much with him this time. I was surprised when he hopped onto the truck to send me to the airport. He helped carry the heavy luggage. That was really nice of our little Kampee, who isn't that little anymore :)
Maree is very mature, reliable and helpful. On one of the mornings, she delivered some med to me. There was a knock on my door and when I opened it, Maree tried hiding but failed to and so she was laughing and went like "heh heh heh hehehe". So adorbs
Chi is often in his own bubble. Haha! It warmed my heart to see him getting out of his own bubble to show care and concern. There was this once, Du squirted chili sauce into my eyes by accident (Du and Chi joined us for breakfast) and wow it sure stings! I quickly sat down and covered my eyes. Chi dropped whatever he was doing and knelt down to check if I was ok. Chi told Du to apologise and he even followed me to the toilet as I washed my face. Chi also told me to 'blink repeatedly'. Haha so cute! On another occasion, while ice-skating I tripped and landed on the ground with a thud. Chi sped on the ice to where i was to check if I was ok. Aww :)
New laughs easily and gets along well with everyone. There was this day, she passed a keychain (placed in a mini zip lock bag) to little App and told her to pass it to me. Aww. It's a gift for me but she was too shy to pass it to me personally. Haha Touched and surprised by her gift :)
Hugs and misses,
Bella
