heellos :)

exactly one week before posting results come out, which means i'm going to start school soon!! and i kinda miss school actually haha :D

been going to the student care to help out recently and gee being with kids the whole afternoon trying to make them finish up their homework is tiring! i really miss aunty cindy :( cos when she's around, there is order and its so much easier to tell the kids "hey! do your homework or i will send you to aunty cindy!!" and after that you'll see them scooting off to do their homework.

oh and being with these primary school kids so often constantly reminds me how low my standard of chinese is :( its so embarrassing when a kid comes up to you to ask you how to write this certain word and you have to go "oh give me a moment while i check my phone dictionary" or even when you are giving chinese dictation to a kid from the spelling list, which by the way doesnt have hanyu pinyin, and have to sneak off halfway to ask someone else how to read that certain word. and its like primary school spelling!! and these kids constantly reminds you that you are 17 yrs old this year and just graduated from secondary school which is like 'WOW' to them. :( why didnt i put in more effort for chinese last time?

but then again, seeing these kids in student care made me really glad that my mum DIDNT put me in one when i was young. like seriously. after school, most kids would go home and take a nice afternoon nap after lunch or play a bit of computer games and just relax right? (well thats what i did). but for these kids, its a big no no. after school they go back to the childcare centre to do homework. and after homework, they have to do assessment books and after that they have to write journals and do book reviews before they can play. if you think about it, doing all those will actually take up your whole afternoon already!!! so i dont really blame them for wanting to play. poor kids.

i'm going to the student care early tmr because the other teachers are on leave!! lets hope i dont die of exhaustion yea? :D
