hahahah. this entry is going to be super long because i have alot to say.

firstly, as usual, about tuitioning. hahahah! i'm starting to get the hang of this "thing" as a teacher. basically, it's very much like being a student. every teacher starts out as a student. it's wierd isn't it? but i have to earn their respect from scratch. especially primary five and six kids. they are at this age where rebelling is cooler than sticking to the rules. i remember i was like that too. so in a way, being all goody-two-shoes is not going to hlep at all. thank god i was a rebel to begin with.

it was very much between work and play. convincing them to work, so that we can play to our hearts content after that. rewards for being hardworking. rewards for winning the game. praises for being smart and initiative. AND of cos', being reprimanded for disobeying rules. because i simply cannot let them climb over my head. rules ARE rules. and they must remain as rules. it's as simple as that. once they get the idea, they will start to go with the flow.

parents..dealing with them is never easy. but it's quite the same thing too. getting to know them, being friendly and approachable. understanding their kids through them.

m primary 6 english class has grown in size today. 9 students now. primary 5 english 3 kids. primary 6 creative english 4 kids and primary 5 creative english 2 kids. woahs. i think primary 6 english class is overwhelming.

the first lesson was rather awkward because they all did not talk much. BUT, i tell you! it's just a disguise!!!! *RAHHHHHH* they are so LOUD now that even them TALKING in the room vibrates my eardrums so much it's going to kill me. and there's this guy which YELLS. he doesn't speak in normal volume ok!! terrible. and when he yells, the rest takes it as an indicator that THEY can yell too. omfg.

hahahah. i may sound like i'm complaining alot. but seriously, i am enjoying myself. people may think tuitioning is easy chicken stuff. but trust me, it is NOT. my brain cells die everytime i mark their scripts or talk to them in class. preparing the work itself is killing.


i love them working hard. i love them having so much fun when we play after all of them hand in their work. i love seeing smiles on their faces. i love seeing them laugh out loud. i don't mind that they yell and scream so loudly. i don't even mind that much that the-yell-alot-boy kept saying ladies as gentleladies cos' men were supposed to be gentlemen.


hahahah. kids. =)


okok, enough gushing. i have loads to do. their test next week. new vocab lists. and marking their stuff. =X 2 more scripts than last week. hahahah.


some clitch happened during p5's english lesson today. kinda got me flustered. but i managed to settle it. i'm like big sister, teacher, counsellor, and sweet-giver there. hahahah. sigh. i'm glad those two brats got over it. i'm glad they didn't hate the way i handled it. and i'm even more glad that they both broke into smiles within minutes of the fight. :)

i'm glad they as kids, finally opened up their minds to think more maturely after the talk i had with them. =) cannot let this stupid fight destroy a friendship right? these kinda things don't need to grow up to understand one..heh.

god. one brat went out of the room after doing his stuff. and i assumed he went to the toilet. when he didn't come back after a very long time, and i finally realised his absence after finishing my work, i panicked.

so i went upstairs where the toilet was to find him. when i realised the toilets were empty and the door to the centre was open, for THAT HEARTBEAT, i really almost got my very first heart attack. because i was so afraid he got kidnapped or some shit.

then i calmed myself down to search the base level AGAIN for his trace. to my relief, i saw him scampering from the admin table to hide behind a wall. wtf. that kid!!!! rahhhhhhh. hahahah. i was very very relieved. that kid starting laughing and laughing at my lost composure. hahahah. this was not the first hide-and-seek session already lah. to think i fell for it again. blahhhhhh.

but it was really a sight to see them smiling again. really. i thought that fight would leave them sulking till the end of the lesson. forgive and forget. this is the lesson i told and taught them today. he has learn well obviously. hahahah.




i got my first atm card today. god damn happy. =D this is for my "touchable" account lah. i have another one that is totally untouchable. lol. parents say only i 21 years old then can touch. blah. i don't need that money yet anyway. anything lor.

hehe. so exciting ok. must start saving properly. =)



got my first pay check. although it's not alot lah. =p but i'm still happy. hahahaha. feels like hard earned money. feel good.



did i mention grey's anatomy is freaking addictive?



"it's not a chase."
"what?"
"you and me. it's not a chase. it's not a game."
"then what is it?"




"what?"
"it's just...nothing.it's just...nothing."



"you do it."
"what? why?"
"cos' you do it better than me."



"does meridith think i'm gay?"
"i don't know."
"does she?"
"are you gay?"

hahahah. darn. very VERY hooked onto it.
the cast is good. the plot unwinds just right. the storyline pulls me into the entire thing. and there are always lessons learnt. hahahah.

addicted. till next time!
