Working with Kids

Image
It's been a tiring week. Having a midterm later tonight, yet here I am typing away on my phone in an Old Town White Coffee outlet. Having another midterm this Monday night. Ahh... the life of a uni student. I find my fuse getting shorter day by day. I am still very, very patient but I can't seem to tolerate nonsense from my kids anymore. My tactic now is to just keep quiet when things get rowdy. They normally start to notice and quieten down. Lol, I don't have that much of energy to nag them. It makes me feel like a grandma. I really love the kids.  They are, after all, a previous version of us. Spoiled kids, middle child syndrome, kids with hard parents, show off kids etc. I have some kids which I tend to dote on. Cause I know that they are more capable than they seem. It could be opportunities, their lack of self confidence, competition and so on. In fact,  I dote on all the kids I have classes with. Haha. That's just me. Yes, attending to kids take

Exposed...

My goodness. It is so so hot. The haze is bad. It makes me breathe in less psychologically.  My brain is fuzzy and muddled.  It took me quite a while to think of what I wanted to say. *sad case* I dropped my phone the other day. My NEW phone. :( *wails* It got slightly scratched and a bit dented... It slipped out of my hand, that's why. Sigh. Careless woman. I discovered something new about young kids, kids as young as 5 years old. That is, they know how to peek into your clothes... -.- Apparently, my button down top exposed my chest in class the other day. It wasn't unbuttoned, it was the space in between buttons which bunched up and brought about my lovely assets for pairs of curious eyes to see. "Auntie Kathleen, we can see your body." They were so amused they kept giggling about it. Huh.... Unbelievable. They do start young... This heat is unbearable.  Let's go for desserts, shall we?

Bits and Pieces

I just realized how many pending posts I have. Posts which I did in frustration. Posts which I was too tired to complete. Posts which I had a sudden inspiration to pen down, but lost it as soon as I sat down. Most of it are posts that I want to post up but have no time to complete. And once that moment is lost, there is no use doing it. *sad laughter* Someone please drag me out of my house. Soon. I'm being buried alive with my books and documents and class preparations... I'm so outdated on movies and stuff. Bleargh.... I had a fun time with one of my class today. Boys being boys, like to play tricks on other kids. So one boy had this fake chewing gum stick, upon pulling it, reveals a plastic cockroach. "Hello, your auntie here is not young. I've seen this trick before." He tried to trick me which was not successful... Thank goodness. Imagine if I started screaming. The whole centre will be in chaos. Lol. But his friend got tricked and I coul

Do You Trust Me?

I spent my whole day today sleeping... It's that time of the month when I get super tired. Zzz... Weather ain't helping much..   I've found a reason for me To change who I used to be A reason to start over new and the reason is You   I've got to read a lot of books, articles, journals, documents. A lot of things to feast my eyes on...hahaha.   The word "trust" is currently appearing very strongly in my life.   Others put their utmost trust in me. I have to learn to trust others AGAIN. I have to learn to trust God too.   Trust is not easy gain, But it is easy to break.   If I trust you, You have won my favour.   I trust that I will do my best since you have put your trust in me. Thank you for that trust.
