oh my, i'm missing the little kids alr.
I've got this naughty boy in class who is super cheeky. He really plays a fool sometimes and he even smiles when i scold him. When he does that, I do not know to be angry or to laugh. He's so naughty yet so CUTE!!! He is very clever too....very good in maths even tho he does not really pay attention in class. but somehow, i just find him very adorable.
He has a twin brother in class who is very cheeky too! this twin brother always says i abuse him. and he will smile at me when he says that and pretend to be scared of me. there was once i asked him to help me carry my box, then he said i abuse him again, but he actually helped very willingly the next moment...so cheeky right...so cute.
I have kind of just started to bond with the children...they know i'm leaving soon...and some of them are writing me letters and stuffs. such thoughtful kids..i'm really very touched and delighted with the children's innocence. i really hope i meet nice kids like them in future...=)
and i ended my day today with the kids saying, "Goodbye Miss Zhou, see you tomorrow. Have a nice day." And I replied,"Are you sure you want to see me tomorrow? Haha. See you next week!" my day lightens up when they wish me a good day. =)

►"my children'' in class...
its my third week in class and this enchanced school experience is gonna end 5 school days after tmr's...i feel that i'm beginning to miss these kids already! such cute bunch of children, innocent and playful. a child gave me a present today. tho small, but i think its really the thoughts that count! i was very happy..=p and the even happier thing today was that i could see that the kids enjoyed the class today. i feel a sense of achievement...
i really look forward to school everyday, despite having to give up my night life and having to wake up early.. well, i just hope this enhanced school experience will be longer cuz i think when i'm back to NIE, its gonna be so hectic and boring cuz of all the project work and assignments. at least for now, i just need to teach!!without stress..=p nevertheless, we'll always have to move on in life anyway...
i like my fellow trainees...fun, nice and friendly. at least we have the same frequency and we can click. i guess i'll see them back in NIE in the year to come~ =) yippee~

►best medicine for me...
I was conducting a lesson on idioms yesterday. I posed a question to the class, "What is the meaning of 'laughter is the best medicine'?"
Replied my student, " Go to the clinic and laugh, then they will give you free medicine....". haha

►my first official lesson
today is my first official lesson! I gave an introduction on decimals. The kids are smart and they picked up really fast. I had fun giving the lesson and I think the students were quite engaged too! Lucky for me, the pupils in my class are quite predictable, thus I am able to keep them within my control.
I will have only 4 weeks in that school, and I'm already 1/4 through it. Time really flies.....
I think the kids are really cute! some are really polite. I like their innocence best..There are some who are really naughty, and u really gotta be stern with them. u may scold them and everything, but they will forget your scoldings the next moment and joke with u once again. so nice if adults can be like that too right? no grudges...=)
lastly, i will remember how the students go.."miss zhou miss zhou........" haha.

►yest and today
i like steamboat. but i always feel fat after a steamboat session...haha
i realised that wan has a damn nice favourite song! hahahaha! he was really nice to offer to send us home when he is actually living in woodlands! anyway, its really fun to be driven around with the nice music on the car...
School has been fun and exciting for me so far. However, I have yet to adapt to the waking up early part. I can wake up early feeling good, but when the clock strikes 11am, fatigue will start setting in. When I reach home, I'll fall asleep unknowningly becuase I'm simply TOO tired.
10pm. Its pretty late already! I better finish up my lesson preparation and go to sleep early!
