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 :)
