about kids (=work) haha!

another week has passed by, again! oh my, it's really fast!

soon, A's results would be out! haha. been hearing rumours about the release date from friends around, but no 2 that actually corroborate each other. lol funny. not really worried about it now though (but it's not that i am confident!!) haha, i guess need the official announcement of the release date from MOE before i can feel the apprehension of receiving my results. haha. okay, i think it will either be out next week or next next week. a friday, most likely.

this week at work was fun but tiring, amusing but exasperating, at the same time. haha. was attached to my kindy kid again. he's called Pranav. his behaviour, well, fluctuates a lot. sometimes i find him okay, like he can talk (sensibly), he has knowledge that is acceptable of five year old, he knows what is happening around him. but then again, he's easily distracted and loses focus easily (and it becomes hard to communicate with him), he needs personal attention and instructions, and at times, he just venture into a dissociated state of his own. hmm, so i guess he just need some professional therapy early, and he would turn out alright :) anyway, when he's okay, he quite cute to talk too. haha, even though sometimes i don't get what is he saying x) and he's clever in his own sense too! like on friday, the zipper thingy on his bag dropped (partially my fault, haha). and i thought he wouldn't notice, but then, he started crying! LOL. so i quickly pacify him, saying i would go fix it. so i went to the teacher, who helped taped it back. after some time, it came out again! and he got sad, so i said i would fix it back (which i didn't LOL). then at the end of the day, i thought he would have forgotten about it (it's just a zipper thingy, u noe, haha), but no! he didn't, and started asking for it. so i took it out the detached part and told him to ask his mummy to fix it. he sort of understood, and then relented. hahaha. prove that u just can't fool a kid!

besides him, the other kids are also interesting in their own ways. since it's an international school, so the kids there are from various nationalities. and yar, despite the difference in language and culture, they still get along quite well, which is pretty cool! after having been through 1 week of their school, i must say they are privileged kids (of rich expats, haha). during curriculum time, they have learning centres in air-conditioned class (writing, numbers, drawing, art), go for playground time, swimming lesson, music lesson, library, and mandarin lessons as well. haha, interesting. during learning time, they have like lots of resources and toys that are cool and interesting! oh my, they even have a resource room, for that matter. and i have in there for duty as well, helping teachers to check in and out the resources. and the room is like filled with all sorts of different resources. lol, real cool. and i can't help but playing those sometimes too. LOL. anyway after school, enrichment classes are offered too, and some kids even signed up for like more than 1 O.O . they have like ballet, drama, hindi, keyboard, soccer (i was amazed to see them dressed soccer jerseys, pants, and shoes, like omg, haha) lucky or not, idk.

so that's kindergarten school for them. haha. and oh ya, they started to address me as ms amy already. haha. the girls are mostly obedient, very easy to handle and talk to. it is the boys that are oh my tian naughty. at least majority of them. they will just repeat whatever u tell them not to do -.- scolding and threatening works to a small extent only. as a result, i have been shouting quite a bit, and i think it caused me to lose my voice partially now. thought it was a sore throat initially, but luckily not. but still, argh. haha.

and oh, i realised something interesting about them!
they love to complain about their friends alot! like
"ms ___ , philip pushed me."
"ms ___ , miguel is not standing in his special spot."
"ms ___ , vivian is not sharing the tricycle."
lol, do all kids love to rat out their friends that much? haha

but then again, maybe that's wat makes them cute as well :)

and yea, i am still trying to understand their way of thinking. haha

ok, i have just ranted a long post abt my work. lol. nth else to blog about.

no social life lar lol. nvm, next week will be better :)

oh, and i need retail therapy. i finished reading nineteen minutes by jodi picoult too, so i need a new book as well. gah.

reminder to self: change :)

happy valentine's day! =)

just another ordinary day of singlehood. ahahahaha.

well, wishing all my besties a happy valentine's day! luv u all always! (:

and OHH, i am NOT talking to nigo and kz alr. can't believed they bluffed me. so much for regarding them as great friends. haha tsk.


anw, work this week was okay; find time to be passing very fast! lol. hmm, as there is nothing much to do in the office, my job scope has changed again! and i was only just getting used to my office job, lol! i am still in the kindergarten departemnt, just that now, i can get into direct contact with the kindy kids! i am sort of required to cover classes for teachers who are absent (the priority), if not i am actually supposed to monitor a problem kid.

hmm, problem kid sounds wrong; just a boy with some developmental problem i guess. after being with him for 2 days, and listening to the teachers' comments about him, he really do seem do have some problem/s la. have to wait for the school to allocate a shadow teacher to him to really know what is wrong. but till then, i am 'attached' to him, and hopefully i can try to understand him more, and find out that he's fine afterall. yeah :)

actually, i can't believe that i am working with kids now! i loveee kids very much! haha. but i am seeing them in a new light now, though. they can get very naughty, and i had to shout at them at times. lol! nvm, kids are kids, their cuteness far compensates for anything. haha.

on a side note, my best meal this week was sakae sushi with work pals for dinner, friday night. it was soo impromptu. haha. and we bought roses to give to each other in celebration of valentine's day. how silly of us x)


i dunno why am i still avoiding you, even afraid of starting an msn convo with you. i have truely gotten over it, but i could only do it at the expense of our friendship, i realised. and i guess, there's nothing i can do to salvage this friendship now. it's too late, i faltered, u faltered. time has only made the barrier even thicker, even more impenetrable; awkardness and oblivion is all that's left.

sorry, for letting our friendship fade.
sorry, for all the heartfelt words that i penned down then, that may seem fake to you now.
sorry, for my utter lack of courage.

forgive me.

and i am hurting, because i know i have gave up and thus lost i a truely good friend.

time for an update

i only update my blog once a week now eh? so much for being free and complaining of boredom. haha guess there wasn't time, like proper blogging time, like now x)

shall start off with last friday! had a date with stella yo! haha, we met up after work at Marina Square, as we wanted to take a walk along River Hongbao. dined at swensens for dinner, and yar, it was satisfaction factor before price :P nevermind, 'cos i received my first pay cheque on that day! haha, it's pro-rated la, which means i only receive about half a month's of salary. haha, but it's okay (: caught up alot with her over dinner, and we shared our working experience thus far. quite interesting to hear some of her stories, haha. then after dinner, we set off in search of the exhibition area. lol, we were sort of lost? cos they was the chingay parade going on at the same time, so it was kind of confusing, haha. anyway chingay on that day felt so different live. not as exciting as on tv, hmm funny. after roaming about for a while, we managed to get there la. it wasn't that crowded as expected, to our surprise. but nah, no crowd better wat :P took some pretty photos of the exhibits there, with stella and i posing in some too. i am a failure at zi-pai though :P always end up cutting myself out of the pic, or stella. haha tsk. was never a cam-whore la, so can't blame me x) so we ended up requesting a few other people there to help us take. haha. speaking of pictures, i am supposed to send stella, which i haven't, even till 1 week later :P haha stella, if u are reading this, i will send it to u soon :)

some pics taken:

God of Wealth!

ok, i started work at kindy this week. in other words, no more slacking, chatting on msn, and taking things easy while working. haha, ok it's not that bad as it sounds la, afterall work is more fun now :) i am mainly helping the secretary there. in other words, i am the assistant secretary? haha sounds cool eh. kidding :P this week was rather eventful, so it's a good start! anyway, this job will not get sian (for a newbie like me at least) because there are different tasks to handle everyday. even the same answering of phone calls is different because the messages relayed are different. lol. but not that i favour answering phone calls, haha 'cos some parents have accents that are hard to comprehend :P starting of with the easy stuff now, learning as i go. lots of things to remember. haha. trying to rmb the teachers names now! x)

anyway, this week the school is having it's cny celebration. haha, kindy children were supposed to come dressed in chinese ethnic outfits. and oh my tian! they are soooooo uber cute! haha x) was allowed to watch the lion dance performance put up, and took some photos with my phone.

lol.

and the next day, i went to watch the puppet show by the children and skit by teachers as well. haha cool! and i witnessed some office politics in action as well. more like i overheard, cos i was just outside the principal's office, and the door wasn't close! not my fault right? xP hehe. i thought of walking away, but was too kaypoh alr. it is also interesting to listen to the teachers conversation, haha they are 1 funny friendly bunch, thankfully :) etc etc
