1st day
met the centre sup - Cynthia, a nice lady, not exactly that old.. she introduce the place to mi and ensure that i'm feeling fine..brief mi abt the DO's & DONT's...hehehs
and the stories goess...:::
=> from day 1, when we noe nuts about each other, to the self intro..
and when u kids say u like mi...honestly it kinda shocked mi ALOT...cos it's our very 1st day tog..
thou u kiiddos are an older and more handful bunch, but i still wud love to be ya tcher..kekeks
i met tcher Irene..who taught mi alot of tingys..and pointed out the notti ones, and warn that i shld not take em for pract.
i followed em ard during their lessons...met teacher Rachel...Lilian...Dai lao shi..& uncle lawrence..
thou it was oni a day, but i cud sense which lesson they preferred.. obviously uncle lawrence.. he's teaching em speech & drama...he wud give em stickers if they did well...and dey wud dance and sing during this lesson..
=>day 2, we started warming up, you kiidds greeted mi when u saw mi..the lovely ones asked whr i wen cos they din c me ard aft their nap on friday..before i could reply, i was bombed with the following:
- isit you go to work?
- isit you go home?
- y you nv slp wit us?
- y u nv tell us..
who on earth have the heart to break break the innocence in em?...there might be some..but i cnt..i jus say wen home to slp...and of cos 1 ans will lead to MORE qns...kids are kids..
@ the same time, i met the form teacher for the 1st time..teacher Lee Ching...all the kids are afraid of her, but at the same time, they like her and listen to her..
~i tot to myself..how wonder if i cud reach tat level..*hehes*~
and the rest of the days, i was dere...i chatted with em, played with them, help them with their works & bath.. i could stayed till 1830hrs, but yet, i ENJOYED myself thoroughly.. no words of complains, thou i had to raise my voice and tolerate some of their "nonsense", but i M more den willing to..i lost my voice and had to be MC-ded...lols..wen i called the sch, my tcher cnt recgonise it was mi..lols..
thru and thru..it was indeed a good experience for mi..finishin off my compo here...

Ryan :: i din poke u wat!!
i jus kept quiet and when he did it again..den i noe.. (u wan attn hurs..i'm gonna ignore u)
*evil lufffff* he mite be notti, but is a good lill one aft all..cos he tried to make mi angry alot of time, be rude to mi and wen i got angry, he got scared..hahas...y?..cos i threaten --
- u dun listen to mi, i tell ya mama arhs"

[of cos it's jus empty threats la..kekeks..except this once that i reali cnt take it, i jus ignore him, and he wen, sory tcher YY)..oops..IMMEd, i felt guilty & bad...muahahs..
incident TWO:
they were supposed to bring a foto of them while they were bb..draw it out.. and imagine wat they like wen dey were a bb...
of cos...u cnt expect much from em..esp the spelling..goodness...18 kiidds..2tcher..hahas..
so we went hopping ard, spelling each and every word..and mayb repeating like an old grandma..lols..but i din mind..i was hapy instead...u can imagin the choatic scene whr dey wud all rush to you and ask you to spell ALTOGTHER...wen i spell a word, i have to make sure the other kids are not listening, cos they will take it as u ARE SPELLING FOR them...
RYAN :: tcher YY, how to spell -----
YY :: spelled the words to him, but he din catch..
kid A :: tcher YY...spell *****
YY :: so i spelled the words
RYAN :: tcher YY, spell again ----
YY :: -----
kid A, B & C started climbing all over mi..and i had to settle em by spelling the words..
and i cud hear ryan calling mi, but i cnt go over...eventualli wen i manage to..
YY :: yes ryan, what word u nid to spell
RYAN :: (got angry, fold his arm and gimme a face??)
YY :: ok ryan, tcher YY is here to hlp you
RYAN :: (still black face) i call you so many time u nv ans!!
YY :: [my god, i was like shocked?..suprised??!!.. hahas..)

Sean, the boi hu is a lill autism..but to mi, he seems prefectly fine..
he took the initiative to tok to mi, askin mi to read his book (thomas & friends, pokemon and more), showed mi his toy and asking mi to kipp it a secret..followed mi ard owaes and req that i hold his hand.. but at times, he jus kips quiet, sits at a corner by himself..

Darius..
Xavier
on my last day..i left while they were soundly asleep...
cos they overheard my conversation with one of the teachers, and they asked whr i'm going..
wans mi to stay with them, acc em to sleep...i stayed with em till dey had all fallen asleep and i left..silently and sadly...
this is teacher lee ching...the form teacher of my pract class..
she was sharing that the kiiddos will be having their yr-end concert cum graduation on Nov..
and it coincides with her wedding date.. we were chatting wen she asked if i'm interested to help out for the reheresal & concert..of cos..i said yesh!!hahas... hopefully i'll get to c em again..
u kiddos will definitely be part of my WONDERFUL memories.. how i wish...
*wish tat time will stay still...so that i could stay wit u kids
*wish tat i have attained my "O"s..so i could carry on teaching...
*wish tat i do not have to go...go back to reality cos this is like a dream cum true
i'll owaes remember...wen
*u bunch of kiiddos showed ur love to mi
*greet mi good morning and address mi ^teacher YY^ everymorning, now & then
*i read a story and all would come crowding over, insist i read over again or other stories
*u notti bois tried testing my patience during bath time till i flare
*the sweet lill gers asking mi to tie their hair
*showed ur curiosity to wateva i was doing
*u kiiddos were doing spelling and had the cheek to ask mi how to write / spell
*u wave goodbye and say "c u tml"
*ur were "fighting" to hold my hands during transit period..(i rmb wen few of the kids rush up to mi when i asked em to form up and held my hands out to the first 2 kids. the res jus came pushing and kip saying ^i wan hold tcher YY's hand^...) a fond memory for mi..
*we had lunch tog, and ur wanted to noe if teacher had any "special food" -_-
*ur asked mi to join ur for nap, and asked if i'm leavin aft ur sleep. i rmb this fondly "teacher YY, after we wake up den we cnt c u isit?..i nodded, dey asked: why?"
too much for the list to go on that i've decided to end here...cos i noe it's going to be a long long story if i con'td on..hahas...yes, it's a long wan..but hopefully it's a worth waitin to read post..
for dose hu aspires to be a teacher or mayb sumting else, dare to fulfil / chase ur dream, cos u nv noe wat's in store for you...
it mayb an experience or a feeling that u've nv felt before..
wonderful?..scary?..happy?..sweet?..dissapointing?...satistfying?..
u nv noe till u dare to try...or the result mayb sumting ELSE that u've nv tot it could be!!
GOOD LUCK my frens...& love ones..jiaayoouus..
