And the next question immediately they asked is "lao shi ni you mei you nu peng you?" (teacher do you have a girlfriend?) and i refused to answer that question and replied "wei shen me ni men jiang sampat de?" (why are you all so sampat?) and tried to change the subject.. haha... Oh well.. nice class though.. Quite sad I only had 1 chance to teach them.. haha..

Year 5 Aqua is a nice class too! These two boys Finn(Australian) and Louie(Korean) are like the two naughtiest boys in the class although i tend to think that louie is naughty because of Finn. But they`re not that bad once you get close to them! :) Then there`re these girls Arina, Amanda and Janese.. Was quite touched that one day they saw me feeling upset (because i had to scold one of my favourite students from Standard 1 Mozart, Kok Yang and send him to the class teacher for disciplining becuase he was too naughty and disobedient) and they asked me "teacher why are you so mad?" like in a concern kind of voice tone. Nice students.. These kind of things are the things that make you continue what you do instead of everytime thinking of the money as motivation to work and also my Korea trip. Haha.. Yes I admit, sometimes when I get mad at my students (especially the younger and hyper ones who always seem to be boys) I start to think of Korea.. haha.. *blush* Plus, these girls like to "annoy" me by doing the "snap fingers and say 'whatever' " thingy like how June Ng can do.. hahaha.. It annoys them when i do it back to them.. haha.. then they`re go "Oh no you did not just do that to me (insert the whatever gesture thingy again)".. lol.. Quite hillarious.. hehe.. Especially Arina.. lol.. There`s this boy Kian Seen.. hehe.. So cute! =p Very nice boy and very 'guai'.. There was one day it was his birthday.. And he invited me to his "party" in the canteen (He brought a cake to celebrate his birthday).. So nice of him.. hehe..

There was this one class Year 2 Aqua (which i also replaced doris for that day).. they were having exam, and these students were already finished and bored. So they decided to write note and try to pass to each other. So this girl Solfrid asked "Teacher, can i pass something to danyiah?" And i went to her and ask what was it.. but she don`t want to tell me.. so i had to "force" her to give me the note.. and i read it.. nothing illegal.. and i passed it to the other girl danyiah.. then Danyiah wrote a reply and again i had to pass it to Solfrid and i told them "Enough" and they stopped a few moments. Then minutes after that, Solfrid asked the same thing "Teacher, can i pass something to Danyiah?" and I said no, forced her to give me the note, and kept it. haha.. and in the note, it read: "Danyiah, isn`t it funny that teacher`s our mailman? hehe"

......................... =.='' haha.. things these kids do/say... kinda cute though.. hehe.. Quite a nice class too.. Louie (From year 5 Aqua) has a brother in this class.. His name`s Min.. Kang Kyung Min.. hehe.. Quite a cute boy too.. Can be quite restless at times.. Then there was this other girl who`s name I can only remember the front one which already is quite special, Hlin (Pronounced 'Lin') and the back name is even more special! Some kind of bombastic german/swedish-ish kind of name..

Well, these are just few of the sweet memories I had in my experience of 2 months teaching the kids. Hopefully I can be back there next year for a permanent job.. :) So sad it`s coming to an end.. One more week (actually 3 days.. i work 3 days in a week.. hoping for 2 extra days though.. trying to get.. hehe).. Will really miss that school..

sighs...

*edit 6th July 2009* Again the same 3 girls i mentioned earlier(Amanda, Arina, and Janese) from year 5 Aqua asked why I was so moody.. i had a rough time with standard 1 Mozart earlier in the day.. These two girls Rachel and Juzee had an argument.. Ended up both crying and i had a hard time trying to get them back together.. sighs.. Rachel is really a spoilt child.. Also one of my favourite students though.. Sighs, so sad to hear from her that she doesn`t like coming to school and she wants to be all alone where nobody can kacau her.. She has a very good friend Cheryl Lai.. This girl is her VERY best friend and a very good one indeed.. she is so so so concerned for Rachel and is always on the look out for her.. And when i told Rachel about how she has a good friend in Cheryl and asked whether she would want that or not.. she shook her head and just said "I don`t like this school!! i want to go away and be ALL ALONE!" sigh.. So sad... Juzee on the other hand didn`t have much problems.. I talked to her.. And she also wanted to say sorry to Rachel.. But Rachel didn`t want to talk to her also even when her friends told her Juzee wants to say sorry.. Really so so sad to see that happen.. :-( I feel so bad for Juzee..

Oh well, back to where i was, these 3 girls(Amanda, Arina and Janese) once again asked me why I was moody while walking to the canteen for lunch.. And we talked the whole way till the canteen(not like it`s a 5 kilometer walk) and it made me felt better.. :) I`ll miss the 3 of them.. really.. :) And these 2 boys Raja Aiman and Kian Seen too! They sat with me while i was eating lunch and they showed me their drawing(it was a picture of a huge tornado) and they were debating whether it was a hurricane or a tornado.. hehe.. so cute..

*

Aiman: No.. It`s a hurricane...

Kian Seen: No!! It`s a tornado.. hurricanes only happen at the sea

Aiman: Really? But i thought that i drew a hurricane..

Kian Seen: That`s because you didn`t know what a hurrican and a tornado is!
