Ok.. it's time to revive this blog.. hai~ have been intending to since the new year started.. but as usual.. i procrastinate.. and also because i work.. and i work in the afternoons.. so i wake up late, just in time for lunch.. and off i go to work.. and then i come back in the evenings.. tired from all that happened at work, have dinner, watch alittle tv, surf the net alittle and then off to bed.. haha.. and in a blink of the eye, it's february already.. so fast.. O'levels results are gonna be out on fri.. don't know when the A's will be.. hope not so soon.. i wanna enjoy my CNY.. sigh.. nothing much has happened in my life.. just about the same.. with some things i don't ever wanna discuss or think about again.. haha.. the only major thing now is that i'm working.. i work at primavera, the student care for my pri sch, located opp. my sch.. i just don't seem to be able to move away from my alma mater.. well, i'm not the only one.. sher, grace, bernie are relief teaching in the sec sch, latifah is relief teaching in the pri sch.. and i'm just opposite.. haha.. think relief teaching is easier than my job although my job seem more slack.. but relief teaching is just about delivering what is in the books.. i have to ensure my kids do their hw, study for tests and spellings, watch them during playtime so that they don't hurt themselves.. and the challenge really comes when they quarrel and split into groups.. makes it very hard for me to control them.. like currently, one group is angry with the other just because of the way they play the game and they're not talking to each other or when they do, it's usually hurtful words they use on each other.. and another problem is their racism.. the 6 chinese girls will gang up and bully that 1 indian girl.. i feel really sad for them cos they just do not know how to think before they say.. they talk in front of her as if she's not there, and they say things like "i dont' like (her name)" in front of her.. that girl always shrugs it off but i can see that it really hurts her.. i don't know what i can do to stop them from passing such remarks.. i tried talking it out with them.. i stop them everytime they say such things are do things that chase her away.. all i can do it just stop it when it happens.. i just can't prevent it from happening.. hai~ these girls can really drive me crazy in that short period of time.. but then again, they can be so adorable at times.. when they stop their silly quarrels and be friends.. hope things will work out for them again.. it's really stressful for me to be sitting between 2 groups and feel the tension in between.. hai~ what to do.. it's part of the job.. and that's what makes it different from relief teaching.. it's more of giving care.. caring for them in all aspects.. and it's these challenges that make the job exciting.. because you never know what to expect from the next day.. btw, i don't seem to have mentioned earlier.. i teach 7 girls (who are all quite a handful) who are all in pri 6.. oh well.. working full day tmr.. helping to cover one of the other caregivers cos she's sick.. so have to wake up early.. i'll try to update more often.. i promise..
ps. CNY's coming.. i'm so excited.. haha.. don't know why i'm especially looking forward to it this year.. haha..
