1st July – summary of Bubbles 1

Today is the first day of July, there are 2 children came in for trial class – Win Shen and Yun Ron. There are also two new enrol – Yu Yen and Joshua. At first i was a bit worry that there will be four crying children in the class. However, i am so lucky that three of them are really ok, accept Win Shen as he needs more time to adapt to the environment and build up the bond with us.

I find that Yu Yen is observing the class and she afraid to social with other children. Yun Ron participates well in the class. Joshua is ready to learn too. However, i need to prepare more visual material for Win Shen to participate in the classroom.

Today the music lesson cancel as Kim was absent. So, we spend the time at playground for about 20 minutes for them to warm up and break the ice among them. Then we go for Mandarin class, however, the children easily distracted n do not participate.

Then we separate the class after snack….the children involve better…

A special child – Win Shen

This is the 2nd year of my teaching life. As to improve myself knowledge and upgrade myself, I have decide to take BECH this year, and i just started MARCH. I just complete the first subject – Special Needs. This is something really new to me and i get to know more knowledge on Special children.

I felt that it’s arrange by the GOD that sending a special child – Win Shen to my class today. He is a  child with hearing impairment. He just implant the hearing aids 6 months ago. As i just complete the theory, now it’s the time for practical and a new challenge for me. I told myself that i need to accept him and educate him as much as i can do for him.

I am happy that i get advice from Choong today telling me more on handling the special child like him. I shouldn’t labelled him as special, as i shouldn’t look at his disabilities and should focus on what he can do.

Well, i am still observing him to see what his level. Today i noticed that he likes drawing a lot..but he needs to be told that how to social with other children(disturb other child during colouring) and proper use of colouring on the paper. (he colours on the chair)

ok, i will continue the story tomorrow. Wish myself good luck. ^^

My beloved bro – Ong Ong

Today is 14 Mar… It makes me think of the day bro passed away.

It’s 14 Feb, the 1st day of CNY. I wake up 8 something in the morning. I saw him sitting on the sofa and say ‘haiyo’..

I know he is very suffer..i know he will stay with us for the CNY… however, his condition getting serious. He wants to sit outside with us. He getting weaker and weaker and tired. He begins to close his eyes to rest. He becoming weak and unable to talk and stand. We quickly change the clothes for him and stay around him. We know that the time has come..the GOd is calling him to go…Until 11.45am…he left us…my tears drop and i very calm and stable go report police and send him to hospital Banting. I really have to admit that i am brave to see him being inject the medicine and keep in the fridge.

From the day the incident happened, i stay beside him almost everyday. I wanna tell him that how much i love him. I really regret that all this while we never appreciate the time we have and spend together. Until the last moment…the last 5 days…that’s all for me and him 29 years…Ong Ong!!! i really don’t understand…

I pray that you will live happily in another world…i love you forever!! Papa love you too!!

First day of holiday

Today is the first day of holiday. I back to my hometown~ JenJarom yesterday evening with Sharon & Jeff. After the dinner we all stay in living room watch TV till 12am then all go to sleep.

I woke up very early morning in the next morning. Then i head to market to buy some breakfast. Meet Kwee Shang & Andrew there, i am embarassed cuz i didn’t fasting today. Hmm…i can’t tell daddy that i am fasting. So, i skip fasting when i stay JJR with daddy.

It’s  such a boring day as nothing to do here. Besides watch TV, it’s still watch TV. So, i help to tidy the store room and throw away a lot of old things and found some memories things. Then help to clean the room which i usually didn’t do at home. However, when i am at daddy house, i take initiative to do all this. Then i took a nap in the afternoon while the children watching movie.

In the evening, we went to Lot 500. The weather changed so fast. It’s rain….about 45 minutes and there is rainbow..so beautiful hanging in the sky….it’s really a nice view and i enjoy to feel the breeze of rain and listen to the sound of rain drops on the roof…and the dog..the mummy dog give birth to 6 puppies…they all still very small…i guess when i am back to JJR again after 2 weeks..they will begin to walk..

well, i feel really comfortable to come back here.. I appreaciate every moment i spend with papa.. He looks old since my bro passed away. There no longer happy smile on his face. I think that what people used to do..whenever they lose something then they will begin to appreciate… Hence, i hope i could stay beside papa until the last day…

I love my family very much… I miss bro very much too!!!

Parents Teacher Meeting Day..~ PTM

Today is the PTM, a day been waiting for so long and preparing for so long…

Before the PTM, we need to prepare the comment for the children, marks and put all the worksheets together. Also, prepare the classroom for the parents to come and visit and talk to us. I take this day not so nervous as it is the second i meet with the parents. Not as scary as the first time and i can take it easily.

I woke up late this morning, after put on some make up and wear a formal clothing to make myself looks more professional. Then i head to school. Was late to school, luckily manage to ask Eunice punch card for me..heheh..And my assistant was not able to come today due to her son get the HFM disease.

I was really kelam-kabut as there are many things for the parents to do…

1.Register once arrive
2.Show the report card, exercise book and worksheet file.
3.Brief explaination on how the child doing in class
4.Give the class photo and sign
5.Ask the parent to give comment/feedback

The worst is we need to let parent sign after they take the photo to make a record. But one the parent accidently took the paper home. Aiks..dono the parent will return back or not…

Bryan Tang is very cute today. Cuz i put make up today, and he asks me..’Teacher why ur eyes look purple?’ Then i ask him nice or not. He says nice and laughing..Then i took a photo with him…heheh (He is one of my lover. Always says my Teacher Shukky..so nice to hear that..wakkakaka)

Today Ee Hang father came to take report card. We spoke for quite long and it’s really nice talking to Mr Tay. As i feel that he is a good man. hahaha..has a little good feeling to him. When i am talking to him, i noticed that he looks at me very concentrate, and i appears a  bit shy when he looking at me.. ahahha…i shouldn’t has this kind of feeling. But just when a man looking at me so concentrate makes me appear a bit shy..hahaha…

Tay is so naughty today. He even put the pencils on his father’s head and the daddy chases after him. I was really dono how to handle this and think it’s really funny and the son are fooling the father. 真是啼笑皆非！！

Finally, it’s over. This consider and full stop for this year. I am really thankful i am survive over the 1 year and the parents are happy with me. heheheh…I feel so great when they say thankyou to me and it’s really great to see the children progress and transform. This is the best part of being a teacher. Thank you God, Thank you to those who helps me a lot along the path..and thanks to the children make me a wonderful year for me!! hahah..

I love you all.. N2 children is the best!!!…

很不爽！！

我真的很不爽。。。

很生气！ 为何她常说出那种话！ 是不是人总是那么自私的！这已经不是第一次了，容忍也要有限度啊！ 我真想搬出去。。真想拥有自己的一个空间。。我不想再看她的脸色。。我会永远记得她今天说的话！！

‘你搬去跟丽珍住啦！如果不合就搬出去住啦！反正也没用！垃圾，我丢了很多次！’

林婷婷！你如果心情不好别拿我来出气！ 我也忍你很久了！真讨厌！为什么要说出伤人的话！

我要搬出去！！ 我要搬出去！！讨厌！！！！！！

Michael Jackson

That day i went to watch Michael Jackson ‘This is it’ concert movie in 1 U cinema.

我觉得麦克太有才了。。舞蹈，音乐 样样精！真的很欣赏他，只可惜他走的早。。

我总觉的当红的艺人都去的早。。最可惜的是，麦克的演出就距离几个星期，他就心脏病发，与世长辞了。

看了他的彩排，实在太精彩了！ 好可惜哦！好欣赏他的专业与热忱，是值得学习的！

对他钦佩，因为他爱这世界，他爱地球及大自然。他的歌唱出了他对地球的爱，同时也呼吁大家要保护地球。

麦克，别了！

6th July 2009 Summary

This morning i change the number cards 1-10 to 11-20 on the wall below the white board. The reason i change it because now the children are learning numbers more than 10. And this week is number 13. I think i was actually quite late to change it. The child who first spotted the changed was Desrie. When she first saw it then she came and ask me teacher why change? Then i ask her what number is this? (I was pointing at 11) Then she silence awhile and i told her is 11. Then she continue saying 12, 13, 14…so on. Then i told her that…yeah…we’re learning new things…that’s why teacher changed the cards. Then she seems happy with the answer…hahaha…

When most of the children come in…i explained to them with the same answer…phew…children will always ask why..and we as an adult always need to explain till they satisfy…hahahah…

This morning Zi Yuan’s parents came to see him..Zi Yuan says he don’t want to come to school..I think it mostly was due to my absent last week and he felt insecured with the new teacher. He even complaint to the parents that Teacher Ngoc beat him and pinch him. I looked at the hurt part..and it looks like mosquitoes bite. After the parents left…Zi Yuan seems happy and nothing happen. Then i spoke to him..i told him that this is mosquitoes bite…why do u tell lie? Does Teacher Ngoc beat u? After i explain then he like changed what he said this morning…When teacher Ngoc came in…He went and say sorry to Teacher Ngoc and say is mosquitoes bite. Teacher Ngoc was a bit blur that time..until lunch time when i told her regarding this then she understood…she told me that she never beat him. I believe her..and i hope the parents will understand too…never simply trust what child say and always find out the truth…

Today i was having difficult in handling Sean..I think he really hates me and i really do not know how to treat him. It’s seems like i don’t have fate with him la..i saw him come to school and i really don’t know how to teach him. I felt guilty and i was really trying my best to attract him into my lesson.. I hope i can do better …

Today we have meeting /training with Mr Mickel…I realize that he really has the passion in teaching young children..I really admire him…and respect him..I hope i can be like him one day…Oh ya…today Ngoc advice me to separate the children who is able to write and those who can’t write as what Daissy did when i am absence…I think she is right…I should start doing it tmr…thanks for the advice!!

I introduce Short Beads Stairs today..most of them did pretty well except Ee Hang, Yen Shan…. Fan Yan Sheng even ask me “Y no 10?” But i can only asnwer him..there is only 1-9. I couldn’t find a better answer…failed..=_=..

Let’s do better tmr…

one more thing to write down..today i went market..Yang Yang was accidently pass motion on his pants..Kakak and ah po even me oso say him dono to tell…(sound like scold him la) After he changed his pants..then he walk near me and say..”I don’t want to pass motion on the pants” and he looks so down..then i hug him and say..ok..u don’t do it again…Yang Yang can do better de…then he seems happy again. I think when children do something wrong shouldn’t make big the problem..it will make them feel guilty and kill their self-esteem..proper way of encouragement and guidance will make them feel better and learn.
