Work/Teaching life again.. :)

Well, work has been fun so far.. my favourite days to teach (in order of most favourite to least favourite) are Monday, Friday and then Tuesday.

Monday. I have 3 classes. Standard 1 Mozart vocal lesson, Year 5 International students vocal lesson, and year 6 International Students vocal lesson. In the vocal Lesson, we part time teachers are supposed to teach the kids simple songs, play musical games. So yes, my first class of the whole week and my most favourite class, Standard 1 Mozart! Hehe.. I just love that class! The students there are so cute and adorable ^^ There`s this 2 girls, cheryl and rachel (in my previous post i mentioned that they were always mistakened as twins). Cheryl looks very much like my cousin zian (as i`ve said before) and rachel is just, well... manja. haha.. Cheryl is very smart especially in music. She`s the one always answering the questions i ask in class. And she is like the dai gar jie of Rachel (from my observation la.. lols..) Rachel being the manja manja one is always taken care of by Cheryl. And they`re constantly together. Without fail. lol! Btw Cheryl was the one who keeps coming up to me and say "Teacher your marking so small wan.. hehehehehhe". Then there is this other boy Kok Yang. Very outspoken boy. He was the first boy who came up to me and ask "teacher what`s your name?" haha.. :) He`s a very helpful boy. I remember my vocal class with him, he likes to run into the vocal studio before i enter and then on the lights and aircond, and then rub the whiteboard if there`s anything written on it. Hehe. :) These 3 students are considered my favourite students. hehe.. :p so bad right? playing favourites. haha :D oh well.. i`m sure other teachers do have their favourites.. ;)

Then there`s Year 5 International students vocal class. Well, this class is not really a bad class. There`s this 2 boys fin and dewey, who are monstrous but other than that they seem nice. lol! They`re quite inseperable and they`re quite a havoc once together. haha. There`s this one girl Ruth (who they also call ruffy) who`s african american (i think) who is the only girl fierce enough to tame the 2 boys. Haha! i should thank her a lot! :D Oh i remember now the name of the student who gave me the cupcake/muffin for teachers day. This girl from this class Kaede (pronounced kay dee). She reminds me of a smaller and younger version of Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical. Seriously! lol.. Must take a picture of her and prove it one day. haha :)

Then there`s Year 6 International students vocal class. There`s this one boy (who i can`t remember the name) who has a attained his diploma certificate by ABRSM (i think) in drums! So cool!!!!!! And i heard him play, super geng!! Apparently he got a scholarship into Sri Cempaka. Super geng!! Lol.. I`ve had not much time with this class though, so can`t really say much about the students.

Friday, I have Standard 1 Mozart again but now is their instrumental lesson. These instrumental lessons are originally classes where they learn how to play the recorder or the violin. But now as the permanent teachers are busy with the school`s upcoming musical production "Fame", we part timers are in charge of teaching the students theory. Then I have Standard 1 Beethoven for instrumental lesson (again theory). 1 Beethoven. Hmm... In comparison to 1 Mozart, 1 Beethoven are like monsters! Lol! But they`re not really that bad either comparing to other classes i have. 

Tuesday... well... I have Std 3 Aer, 4 Aqua, 5 Terra, and 6 Terra where all classes are instrumental, and 2 terra vocal class. 3 Aer, not really a bad class. This boy Tian Qi, quite rebelious. Then there`s this boy Ranen (cool name right?? lol!), nice boy. But quite playful. So must control him a bit. hehe..

4 Aqua. This boy Andy Lau. Terrible boy! Super super rude. And according to the previous teachers, i have to be very careful with him. He likes to show that he`s the "Dai Gor" around. Very rude too. Lol.. Caught him saying bad words in class.. tsk tsk.. But the teacher also said that if you`re "fren fren" with him then he will be "fren fren" with you too.. if not.. he`ll make a havoc. Lol.. hmm.. Hard situation.. On one side, i have to be "fren fren" with him, but on the other side, i can`t let him be to "fren fren" also cos if not he`ll take control over me! :S lol..

5 Terra. Very VERY tame class. Students there are intelligent! Not much to say though.. lol.. had only 1 class with them so far..

6 Terra. The WORST class i have. Very very very VERY arrogant class. Some students are just plain arrogant.. And they make noise like nobody`s business! :S can`t even keep quiet for 5 minutes! While i`m teaching some students can just walk around and mingle with their classmates. =.='' my goodness!!! Standard 6 oni wei!!! if like form 4 form 5 then okay la... Standard 6!!!! =.='' ya ampun......

2 terra Vocal class. This class is my 2nd most favourite class. hehe.. can`t remember the names of the students though. I remember one girl has the same bottle water as me except hers is smaller. And the students keep pointing that out to me. Haha! Must make a point to remember the names of the students.. hehe.. there`s this 2 girls very clingy to me.. Everytime play a circle game where we form a circle, they like to stand or sit beside me. =.='' and slowly slowly they`ll come closer to me and cling on me.. =.='' lol.. cute though.. haha :D

Phewh!!! 4 posts in a row i`ve blogged about my teaching job. Hehe.. tells and shows a lot huh? xP

cheerios ;)
