I feel soo tired.. This is really a very busy month or maybe the entire yr will be a busy one too!!

Sat and Sun had to teach the 2 little rascals.
Hahas.. But it was kinda of fun too..
Rmb teaching the younger one English and we came across a word "themselves". So i ask them him this word refers to who and how many ppl. He manage to answer, then i asked him what is the word to use when refering to me and him.
He said, "Youself" "Iself" "weself"and "everybodyself"
And a lot of other rubbish words. Feel like knocking his head! LOLs..

On Mon, went to the new childcare centre. Apparently, me and ah ne didnt know where exactly is the centre..
So we jus board a bus that our mentor says it will reached the center.
We were hoping to see the centre but couldnt see one in sight.
so we try our luck and walk in another direction. And with help frm the passer-by, we manage to find the centre. It located on the second floor. The entrance itself its a "Wow" thing already.
So high class. We were greeted by our mentor oso the principal of the center and the super friendly isabelle. Isabelle remembers me cos we chatted on the phone and ah ne's male voice.
Apparently, they couldnt find our particulars and stuffs but they let us communicate and associated with the children first while they go and check it out.

Entering the centre was another "wow" thing. (I noe im being super duper "sua gu") Its really, totally different frm the centers i visited. "Wow wow wow".. I LOVE THIS CENTRE!! The kids here as compared to the other centers, they are more obedience and also rich in their languages. Amazing!
The staff was very surprise to see ah ne probably becos they had not yet acquainted with any male teachers.

We had circle time and its very long! Saw ah ne yawning lots of time..
Then isabelle assigned us to diff class. She assigned me to k1 and said this is a good class. Which i was damn happy but the teacher in charge of this class is super strict-kinda-look. (i realised the whole day it was that expressions.) Maybe she doesnt like this job? N poor nesh, firstly, he was allocated to the K2 and he didnt know that we arent supposed to get the K2 class becos we will be coming here next sem and haf to take back the same batch. K2 kids will have graduated then. So i helped the blur him and then he was posted to a chi class then to Nursery class.

My class, awesome! Anyway they haf lots of classrooms and lots of tables and chairs in each classroom. In NTUC childcare u wun get to see sooo many tables and chairs. And they are worksheet based as in they practically do worksheets everyday for diff subjects.
A bit sian for the kids(from my perpective) cos they dun really focus on "play" and they dun get to play that much and the playing part was practically related to "work".
I think the kids was used to it.
They dun haf outdoor play! But they haf a indoor playground in the school itself. So u can roughly guess how big it is..

It was only the first visit and a bunch of kids already got attached to me.
Especially one who is just like our dear fiona. lols.. She disturb her friends, brag about her family and gave me lots of affection.. lols.. She called me mummy and said wanna go home with me..
It was so fun.

There's another kid, hmmm, she's a little slow and something is missing in her.
She dont talk to me or answer me when im talking to her. Then i realised that she's really "slow". But her dear teacher dun understand that and raise her voice a little at her.
I thought she was interesting, so i keep helping her to pronounce and spell the words.
I tried lots of time and finally got her to open her mouth and talk to me. It was great! And she became a little attached to me.

So i was enjoying my time with the children, when my mentor came in and said that there's a call for me. i was rather stunned. A call for me? And my mentor told me its frm the RTRC. Veron was on the line saying that i was posted to the wrong center.
My heart sank at that very moment...
I was supposed to go Ghim moh NTUC childcare. She told me to go there from next week onwards and she gave me the address. And she asked me to go call ah ne to the phone becos we were both posted to the wrong center which explain y the center doesnt have our data.

Went to hunt for ah ne. He was busy enjoying watching the kid naked. Becos he was sitting watching the kids as they bathe. lols..
I was damn shack so i told him that we are both posted to the whole center and Veron wants to speak to him. He rushed to the office while i "enjoyed" chatting with the auntie becos she was interested with my belt.

Went to the office to find ah ne. Instead of nesh, Isabelle was on the phone.
Then she told us that we can continue to come here for our attachment. She said she told Veron that she wanted us, ah ne and me to stay and veron can transfer the other two students from the "C" class to the other centers. Of cos Veron was reluctant cos she said its very troublesome but isabelle manage to persuade her..
LALALA!! I was damn happy and relieved...
COntinue to go to my class, the "fiona" was soo kpo. ANd she kept praising me! As in she praise my hair, my earings, my lip gross and she said she loves me as compared to the previous student teachers becos im prettier.. lols.. soo cutee.
Then left the center and ah ne brought me to eat and then we went back to school.

I guess im the luckiest. Beside apologising to the "C" class gals about the "snatching of centre", as compared to other ppl in my class, i seems to be the happiest abt the center im allocated to. Others was jus complaining esp our dear Fiona. which she was allocated to the childcare that i was previously allocated to. I told her its a gd center but she cant accept it, simply becos no air-con.

Ok, i think i had talked toooo much! Im happy and im tired!! But i got lots of stuffs to do today!! smell ya guys~
