forest therapy with unimas

Last weekend I volunteered as faci (read: Kakyu invited me) for UNIMAS forest therapy program for adolescents. The kids are a bunch of good kids who like everyone of us got issues but they'll be fine. We had fun talking about animes, so I guess we all are almost the same. Except I'm double their age. By the end of day 1 they had disbelief that I'm 33 and said I look like I'm in my late 20's instead. Shahrul described me as philosophical. 

My group had an introvert who by day 2 opened up to the boisterous boys. It stroke me to write this because I remembered a scene of them. 

It was raining. We were under the pagoda putting our DIY rain poncho on. They were taking selfies together and Wisy helped Xavier buttoned up his poncho. Dr Aida quipped "wow bromance" and without missing a beat, that group of kids sang

"Tonight the music seems so loud-"

I laughed so hard. They implied I'm old but here they are singing Careless Whisper like the cultured kids they are.
