wellwell. learning journeys for the pri 4s in temasek pri was today and our group, futuristique, led a group of 10 boys! dearest hong hui stayed up one whole night to make the most interactive and interesting w/s ever!! thanks a bunch!
so, after months of planning, the day was finally here! we even made a website for it.. learning-journeys.blogspot.com
nice right? anyways, today we rode on a comfy blue bus to the Asian Civilisations Museum. wonderful place. so we were assigned a group of 10 boys. katherine and h.h took six boys. m.y, flo and i took 4 boys. o boy. there was a MONSTER in the group. clement. what vulgarities he uttered! what threats he dished out!! i was shocked beyond words. the only thing we could come to terms on was maple story, which he is insane about. the other 3 boys..hmm.. there one plump guy, not very naughty, but he has a voice like THUNDER. we have to keep reminding them to be silent. keith is his name. then there are two other guys, chinese names, one is tan something something and another is han something something. the han is rather playful, but is actually rather polite if you speak to him nicely. tan is veryvery cute. he loves arguing with people, but he really gets down to business and strikes me as a rather intelligent boy. i tried to have an intellectual argument with tan and han. and yay! i won. tan was looking at my phone and asking me if i had jj lin songs. i don't listen to chinese songs, unfortunately.
its really hard to deal with these kids. imagine: 3 16 yr-olds having trouble controling 4 10 yr-olds. kids nowadays are too exposed to the world around them. m.y and i were shocked to hear them talk about sex,virgins and sperms. we were also highly amused to hear them talk about Zakum, some maple creature? i don't know. we gave them chocolates as a reward for completing their tasks.
its not easy to handle kids. you have to be their friend, and control your anger when they do the stupidest things ever. like touch the artefacts. you won't go far if you shout and argue with them. they just yell back even harder. it takes a lot of patience, but we just have to remember that they are just being normal children. we have to be kind and forgive them. most importantly, we must not take advantage of our age to threaten them with violence and to be unreasonable.
there. really, no kids for me please.
many tests coming up. i've got to study hard.
h.h is horrible. she keeps sabo-ing me in front of our lecherous physics teacher. i was playing with a red light and when the teacher asked why i was doing so, she said: "SHE WANTS TO SEE YOU CLOSER!!" i was like ??huh??. and the teacher gave this crooked grin and said: "You want to play, after school i can play like you. But now its time for lessons." then OMG! h.h said: "play like you or play with you?" i wanted to bury a hole and jump in it.
..haha.
today during p.e m.y and i went to meet or form teacher for target setting. had a nice long chat with her. wow.m.y is interested in maths!! smart chioce of subject, it is always useful to learn maths because it is the only subject that's the same throughtout the world.
anyways, gtg now. i got my panic! at the disco cd.. they rock! (pun intended.)
