Oh wow. don't need to wait until sunday. I lost my voice already haha. Let's see if it'll get well by sunday. I'm on choir duty on sunday! :/
No voice how to teach tmr? hmm... tmr got 2 hrs of math lesson somemore. I think they'll be glad to have one hour free period. Like more than happy. oh wells... i'm trying to be nicer to the kids and not to have a bad impression of them. I gave them stickers today at the end of the day for no apparent reason haha.
I need to learn how to be consistent in stuff...
oh no. theory homework haven't do:/

Went for SP band concert yesterday. It was quite good :) I miss band:/ nvm, appassionata is coming soon :) and this year's alumni band will be awesome!
I'm losing my voice soon. Maybe by this sunday. then don't need to make announcement XP
well, I'm going to rant. I was really upset just now. But now much better already. The K2 kids are seriously not behaving very well. (what an understatement -.-) I am so not looking forward to music and outdoors lesson now. They go totally wild. Worse than the animals we see in the zoo. Ok, not fair to refer to all of them. But most of the boys lah. Today was the worst so far i think.
Today's music lesson. 5mins go toilet and get them to be quiet sitting down. They were quiet enough for less than one minute to listen to me tell them to stand up and spread out around the room. Next 10mins run around, shout, scream, fight, play with the mike, complain to me. Last 5mins get them to line up and walk back up to class. End of lesson (what lesson?)
I'm trying my best not to lose my temper. I realised that's not the most difficult thing though. The most difficult thing is to control my yan shen. But I'm really beginning to cannot stand them already. I cannot even bring myself to smile at them at the start of the school day. It's like the start of a new day and I'm already like that. rah. cannot like that!
I just realised that Wei Jie is violent. He 'punched' his classmates at least 10 times today. It's obviously not that kind of very pain will leave bruise that kind of punch. But it's still not right to punch ppl. And he just ran out of class to the toilet without asking for permission. And when I 'm like standing there waiting for him and another 2 guys to shut up so that they can go back to class, he just continue talking like nothing like that. Super rude. And he was playing very roughly with his classmates so I grabbed his hand and wanted to make him stand beside me. I think he thought that I was going to drag him out of the class cuz I threatened that before. Then he refuesed to stand up, rolled about on the floor and used his free hand beat me. pro right. guess what will happen if I beat him instead. Who's the one in the wrong lah. And why am I getting hit! He thinks one sentence of 'teacher I don't want' can get him away from everything right. funny. I also don't want him to fight, scream, shout and play but how come I don't get my way and he must get his. I'm really going to bring him to the office the next time. Sorry but I'm really quite irritated with him.
I still cannot stop feeling the way I feel though I'm not supposed to be affected. I know it's rude but I really just feel like daoing ppl whenever they do it.

I seriously don't know what i'm spending my time on when i switch on my laptop-.- after half an hour, i haven't started on what i want to do. today need to make present and do theory homework. tmr got piano lesson and i haven't started my homework! :/
I'm going to update on all the kids haha. the kids at the childcare are getting better. more guai:) most of them stop crying already. except a few. ethan is long winded lol. he can repeat the same thing over and over again without getting tired o.o but he's cute when he stops crying and whining. and this boy called Eason also. Every 5 minutes he'll ask "ba ba yao lai le mah?" mm then Joyleen is really cute. She's one of the smallest there and eating is her favourite thing in the world! During lunch she just sits there and eat by herself and eat a lot of servings until we must stop giving her when she asks. There's a new girl called Michelle today. She's very cute too! Quite independent though she's quite small:) Jayden is very cheeky. And he walks on tiptoes o.o but he was dancing very well today:D Vicki is getting much better. She hardly cried today:) And the way she asks questions is very cute. Say Siong is improving too. Though he still not very used to it and throw tantrums sometimes. But he has a very nice smile when he's pleasant:) Getting him to bathe is a horror though. Me and another teacher had to force him to bathe and he'll cry like mad. I heard he lay on the toilet floor yesterday when he was forced to bathe o.o Oh he loves Thomas the train. He's super cute when he exclaims 'Thomas!' XD And there are a lot more kids like Hayley, Cheryl, Jia Rui, Jia Le, Yue er, Leroy, Tara, Alyssa, Kendrick, Su yong and I cannot remember who else. Blog abt them next time when they do something to leave an impression :) haha yes my vocab is bad. too bad all the kids are just too cute XP
Kindergarten is another story. Seriously, they're bigger but they behave worse. The guys are very rowdy. like to fight and quarrel and stuff. Then come and complain to me after that -.- Bryston is already planning to push Branden into the pond when they go to science centre this friday -.- I'm so not looking forward to fishing anyone out from the pond. girls are generally okay. Oh and I realised today that I don't have to teach them how to spell numbers. Just need to recognise them. whew. I spent more than ten minutes the last lesson trying to get them to spell 'twenty' when I have 40mins to teach one to fifty :/ art is ok cuz only got half the class :) Yao Guang's music lesson seem to have gone better than mine XP
Oh i realised 3 year old kids don't really bother abt gender differences. Cuz today the boys were bathing and we were helping them. And they were not wearing clothes cuz lining up to bathe. Ethan totally lie across my leg when I was sitting down. I was like 'okay...' but I think it didn't bother him at all haha. But oh well, they are kids afterall :)
End of an interesting day :)

today first day at the childcare! :) haha spend the day playing with kids and i get paid for it. so good right? XD the children are really cute though some of them keep crying. but well, they're on 3 so ya, understandable. according to my parents, i went there when i was young and i cried for 3 days and they gave up trying to put me there XP haha so when i see the children crying, i'm reminded of myself.
comparatively, K2s are more difficult to handle. they cannot seem to keep quite or behave themself. really don't know if i should try to keep them quiet then start teaching or just teach when they're noisy. if i try to keep them quiet, the time for lesson will be halved:/ but then when they're noisy, they cannot hear me also. all the mischievious boys tsk...
oh but today there's finally someone my age at the kindergarten. very good! someone that i can talk to. he's yaoguang. mm yan and his brother went to apple tree together last time i think haha. he asked me if we met before at apple tree. lol how i remember. but ya, i think i talked more to him today than to all the teachers add up together. funny how ppl in the same age group can clique well. as in i really thought i got along with adults and small kids quite well lol. but he won't be here for long lah. need to go army. but for now, there's someone to be blur with me haha.

be confident. quite a few ppl have told me that. but i think over the years, i've grown to become a person who is 'easygoing' or maybe rather a person with no opinions. which is bad. like this is the third time i'm typing this paragraph. it's easier said than done lah. i'm too bothered about what ppl say and do though i try to tell myself not to.
lol. i have no idea what the point of this post is. i just didn't want to narrate cuz it's boring XP aiya. i should do this kind of thing when i'm concentrating. i'm watching tv now haha. so i shall stop here :)

Playing with babies is good. You won't really be disappointed because you don't expect much from them. Even if they reject you or something, you can always comfort yourself with the fact that they don't know what they are doing. They are young and innocent. And maybe they just don't know how to express themselves properly.
Actually, the only 'person' that doesn't disappoint is God. Through the ups and downs in my life, I've realised that God is always there. He never forsakes me the way I forget about Him whenever I become busy or something crops up.

Hmm seems like I haven't blogged for quite a while. First post of 2010! :)
Last few days of 2009 were eventful? I guess you can say that. at least sort of. I had a class christmas gathering, a cell bbq, a week of work experience, family countdown and some good talks with ppl.
Now I need to decide what to do with my life. hmmm... a bit scared to overcommit. But I think I should try it since I've always been very cautious to keep myself from being so busy. Though my parents may disagree and think that I'm doing too many things in church. But oh wells, they said I can spend everyday in church if I want after A levels. So I shall take their word for it. Not that I really will spend everyday in church lah haha. Maybe just have even more church stuff to do than last year. Now A levels is no longer an excuse:)
Anyway, sat is my last day at NUH haha. Finding a new job now. I realised my January weekends are rather filled :)
Oh i went to watch Alvin and the chipmunks 2.(i think that's the title) It's really cute haha :) The chipmunks are cute XD
Things to do: Plan my first term, pack my table(again... cuz I dumped all my taiwan stuff on my table:/), pack my cupboards, do taiwan trip reflections.
