Eternal torment: The Search

Friday, February 24, 2006

Sorry for the lag of posts. I had promised myself to blog like at least once every two days but yeah, i'll admit here. I was lazy.

From Mon to Tues, i basically slacked (again). Rediscovered a virtual pet site and played it for a couple of hours then checked my mail and read stories online.

Wed, I was told to come down to help. Thank goodness! The kids were as usual, rambuctious, active tykes who just can't practise what they learn in theory. Or maybe i'm too slack with them? Everytime I get them from thier classes, they will make plenty of noise and then run to the LSP room. Ok, so it's mainly the boys. The girls? Sigh...they think they're out window shopping or something. They walk so damn slow, i have to tell them to quicken their pace.

Still, it's fun. They're learning colours for the p1s. And the p2s are learning about wishes. The p2s' wishes were so adorably cute. "What do you wish you can be?"

"An angel"
"A dinosaur"
"A pig."
"A bird"
"A princess. Uncle, you know any prince don't have princess? Then i go become princess."
"I want to be a witch"

How much cuter can you get? It's so fun to interact with them. They have rather wild ideas.

"Why do you want to be a dinosaur?"
"Because, because a dinosaur is big and can eat people!"

"Why do you want to be a pig?"
"I never say I want to be a pig!"
"Then, what do you wish you can be?"
"A pig."

Really, truly adorable. Of course, we STILL have strange things like kids coming to school for the first time. I had to test them on the alphabets and all. I'm rather disappointed that one of my students actually deproved. Haiz...

On Thurs, I got a break. The teacher had a private matter to attend to. I won't disclose the information here in fear of the ministry tracking me down and everything.

On Fri, i came back and helped with the preparations of the workshop. Did the posters and all. Then taught some of the kids one on one. In the afternoon, the p2s had their supplementary class. And I shall admit here. I TOTALLY can't control them. The teach in charge had to step in a couple of times. Truly, I feel so bad. I mean I can't take care of FOUR kids! Two overactive and two totally blur ones. I know it's such a demeaning word but seriously. They space out and then they have barely grasped basic english. They keep speaking in Mandarin. And since you know how horrendous my mandarin is...do the maths. but overall, the whole day was draining.

Oh yeah. I'm totally stuck on what to write. I prefer writing something that has a hint of realism in it and THUS, i stupid stupid go tackle the issue of male rape. And I feel compelled to do something about it. But thing is, male rape often goes unreported. Due to stigma, shame, insecurity about sexuality and a whole host of problems! I'm so tempted to take up the calling but I can't. Well, not yet. It's a specialised field. Oh well. Once i get the money, i'm so setting up support groups!

Oh yeah, back to me! (i'm being narcisstic but hey, this IS a blog!) I'm not sure how to proceed with the main character now. *shrugs* My muses will reveal it soon. Especially since I now have THREE reviews! *beams*

And how go you spell the color of white and black? the colour that results- grey or gray?

the correct answer is the first one. Yup. just mindless trivia i picked up from english with the p1s.

March 3 is coming up. I'm not v worried. Ok, screw me. I'm lying. I am fidgety and my mind is still clouded. What if Jc isn't for me? What if I get into jc and THEN start wondering the what ifs.
Haiz...truly, it's times like these that I really wish i know where I should REALLY go to succeed financially in life. Hey, I gotta think practical!

American Idol has once again made me scream "kayu". I think that Brenna deserves to be kicked out more. And poor Patrick Hall! I was rooting for you! Ok, and a whole string of others.

Jazz on sneakers is in town. The energetic jamie cullums is coming to singapore! I WANT to catch him! But I can't. Money's tight. :(

Need my beauty sleep now. Toodles!
