never stop learning XD

suddenly feel like sharing what i've learnt through my current job.

besides feeding kids, bathing kids and making up baby's bottle etc that i mentioned in my previous posts, i've also learnt a NEW thing ...... diapering! XD if i weren't working, i would never ever diaper a kid!! i always stood like at least 3 meters away whenever i saw people diapering their baby, and my face would show the facial expression of "ewwww" or "yucks". and now, diapering is not a nightmare for me anymore. tips: hold your breath, do not look at the things in the diaper when you change diaper for your kids, quickly throw the used diaper into rubbish bin, and wash your hands. kao dim!

okayy have you guys heard of Phonics? maybe you guys know about it, but i seriously did not know what the hell phonics is before i started to work as a kindergarten teacher. and i was amazed when i knew that my mom knows it -.- phonics is like... sounds of the alphabets. for example, a = ae, b = beh, c = ckeh...... so this is another thing that i've learnt through my job =D

in conclusion, my job has prepared me to be a good mother in the future LOL

Never Stop Learning!

updates

1. okay i'm just a little bit excited coz the status for my financial affidavit of support has finally changed to COMPLETED! hopefully my i-20 can arrive here in these few days =)

2. have had experience of taking care of a hyperactive kid. it was.... kinda challenging :) the 3 year old kid has serious problem in paying attention and controlling his temper. he always beats people and i was lucky enough to kena a few times. he pulled my hair and beat me when i tried to bring him back to the room. i think i'm going to be bald if he pulls my hair like that everyday. he's also "strong" to break my amethyst bracelets! T_T i've been searching for some ways to deal with the hyperactive kid..... and i will try my best to make him normal no matter what!

3. i is happy. coz kids said they like to see me wearing specs! XD okayla, i know i look cool with specs HAHAHA

4. can't wait for the predeparture briefing! hope to have some great times with the peeps and aww, i miss midvalley so much!

5. guess what i was doing? ta-daaaa! writing lesson plan!! omg i'm really like a teacher now =p

third week

third week of job officially ended. i've been working for seven days this week because it was the kindergarten's open day today. damn tired siaaa.... many parents have registered for their kids today and the kids will start school next month! my workload is gonna be heavier! *hopes boss can increase salary :p* speaking of which, i just realized that i'm gonna get my salary soon. two weeks to go! =D

since the last two weeks were holidays, we had some holiday programs for the kids, such as arts and crafts, swimming, music and movement, story telling, and cooking.

pics of the kids!

know what? one of the reasons i like to work at kindergarten is that there are many toys!! i'm supposed to be the one who guides the kids when they are playing toys, but in the end i will be the one who plays XD and the kids will O_O *teacher, why are you playing toys? you are a kid meh?* hmmph, only kids can play toys meh -.-

i love the doll. see, got milk bottle one! ;D

and this was one of the toys that i loved so much when i was a kid! of course, i still love it :) i was so surprised when i found it at the kindergarten yesterday. well.. umm actually i forgot its name already =p tell me if you know the name!

so the kids O_O again when i made this car! see, i still remember how to make it =)

can't wait to see the kids tomorrow!

yeah got a pretty layout for my blog! red + black + brown = my style :D

have been searching for housing for months but i still cannot find a nice one!! grrrrrr. and the problem of my financial affidavit of support has not been solved. that's why i still cannot get my i-20 now. why can't everything go smoothly? why should i be worried about everything? haih..... i know, that's life. you just can't expect everything to be perfect D:

so it was my turn to bathe the kids today. my shirt and jeans got wet after bathing them. yea i was so noob -.- i've also learned how to make up a baby's bottle, like how much of milk powder and water i should use etc. i never thought that i would have to feed kids, bathe kids and make up baby's bottle before i become a mother. see, life is always unexpected.

however, i'm glad that i work at this kindergarten. i love seeing the kids running and playing around. i love listening to and answering their innocent questions. yeah i love kids! =)

food that i had last week. yummyyy!

Good Morning, Teacher!

it was the 4th day today. and i've already answered tons of funny questions, from seagrass to tornado. the kids are interested in almost everything! they like to ask why until sometimes i don't know how to explain -.- well, this is a good thing. kids should be like that. i hate those parents who don't allow their kids to ask questions. they are like ... killing their kids' imagination!! i've seen lots of examples like this. the grown-up kids do not know how to imagine, they only know how to follow the rules. sad case, right? that's why we shouldn't feel annoyed by kids who like to ask questions. what we should do is to listen to their questions and give them the correct answers.

i've also heard lots of funny conversations of the kids. one was like that:

a few kids were sitting together and playing some rubber toys.

kid A : (pointed at a toy beetle) can a beetle fly?

kid B : of course cannot! you see, it doesn't have wings.

kid A : teacher, can i let the beetle wear a shirt that has wings on it so that the beetle can fly?

me : ......errrrr (thinking of how to answer)

kid C : how can a beetle wear a shirt? see, it's so small and a shirt is so big!

kid A : i will let it wear a very tight one!

HAHAHAA their conversations always make me lmao. i wish i could have such innocent mind like them. haih, if only i could turn back time ...... however, this might not be a good thing for people around me XD sometimes i think this chinese proverb is so true: 近朱者赤，近墨者黑 (one who stays near vermilion gets stained red, one who stays near ink gets stained black). it means you will become a good person when you mix around with a bunch of good people and you will become a bad person when you mix around with a bunch of bad people (erm... something like that). this always happens to me! when i watch nodame cantabile again and again, i start to act like the dumb nodame, or imitate her unconsciously. when i'm always be with the kids, i start to act like a 3 year old kid -.- apparently mom gets annoyed at me now! ;D perhaps i shouldn't work at a kindergarten.

i've uploaded pics of 2 kids at the kindergarten. didn't manage to take pics of other kids today =p will try it next time!

this is a very clever 3 year old kid at the kindergarten that i'm working at. soooooo cute!

the cute 2 year old kid that i mentioned in my previous post. he looks like xiao le, a character in a taiwanese drama!

first week of my job has ended. looking forward to next week! i really love seeing those innocent kids =)

first day on the job

so today was my first day on the job, and i'm dead tired now. i feel like my whole body is gonna break into pieces. never knew that being a kindergarten teacher can be so tiring. i initially thought that kids are cute and they always listen to their teachers, but heck i was wrong!!

i'm gonna describe what i've done today. woke up at 6:30am, and i was already at the kindergarten before 7:45am. waited for those kids aged between 2 to 6 to come and brought them to their classes. then i became teacher lew and taught the 5 year old kids according to the their class schedule. the subjects that i taught today were bahasa malaysia and computer. teaching bahasa malaysia was the most "kek sim" part. i taught them things like "b-a ba, j-u ju, baju" and they could forget what i taught in less than 1 minute -.- and they couldn't really pay attention in the class. sometimes they listened to me, sometimes they ignored me :( okaylo, kids mar.

besides teaching them, i have to help to bathe the kids. i haven't bathed them today, but it's gonna be my turn next week. and it will be my first ever time to bathe kids!! they had their lunch after bath, and i had to feed a 3 year old kid. it wasn't so hard to feed him =) they had revisions after lunch and this time i got along well with the kids. after that, they had a nap for 2 hours. thank god, finally i could get some peace. i spent the 2 hours reading some children's story books xD played with them after they woke up until their parents came to bring them back.

there are different types of kids i met here. some are shy while some are talkative. some are well-behaved while some are naughty. there's a cute 2 year old boy with long eyelashes at the kindergarten. he doesn't know how to talk, he only knows how to make some weird sounds like nodame does: "*&^%$#@" or some alien language that i don't understand at all. he likes to scream and can be annoying sometimes, but he really looks cute! btw, i did notice that kids get satisfied easily. they could also spend a few hours playing the same toy. okaylo perhaps some kids or just female kids.

will try to take their cute pics. stay tuned! =D
