the challenges of a student care teacher

Monday, May 21, 2007

i will be changing job from a student care teacher to a lab technician around june. however the details are not finalised yet. really pray hard that God will hear my prayers and my cries to Him.

I have tendered my resignation and made the necessary arrangements. so there is no turning way for me le.

and while i was doing my QT today, the article on the Daily Bread today just impacted me so much.

"Do not worry" Matt 6:25

He said we dont have to be fearful or worried, becoz our Heavenly Father knows our needs, and we are valued by Him. He is perfectly willing and able to meet our needs. so y shld i still worry abt this job. since God has open doors for me, den i shld have FAITH.

well, knowing that i m leaving, i hope to leave a good memory in the kids. i tried my very best not to scream at them, instead speak nicely to them.. but today...

a kid really said very hurting things. at the point of time, i really wanted to shout out. but i took back those nasty words. i could feel my blood rushing to my head, and bombarding every part in my veins. my heart was pumping so hard that it seems to be exploding. and my mouth was a second near to be a machine gun firing "bullets" out.

the pain in my heart was more than what i could handle, so i dashed into my supervisor's office and confided in her. also do not wish the kids to c my "weak" side. i cried..... tears came rolling down my cheeks uncontrollably. i had to speak, cry and control the volume. and... i nv ever felt so angry with kids before. Never.

and during the lunch time, after making sure tat my nose is not red after the cry, i acted as normal, just less hyper. 2 girls from my class asked me why m i quiting. and they even told me not to quit. at tt moment, i was really touched. its like there is a rainbow after the heavy downpour. and the little joshua even asked me, "tr jinxiu, why you so angry?"

even though only a handful of them are really "cute", there are some who are genuinely cute. i really hope to be a good influence in their life. i hope to have a positive impact in their life too.

i really will miss them so much. the thought of leaving just aches my heart so much. its like someone trying to stab my heart.i really wish to visit them again after this. hopefully by then, they will still remember me... sob =(

home alone part 2- dinner with my sis

Monday, May 14, 2007

dinner was really a big problem when my mommy is not around. so i decided to treat my sis out for dinner. we strolled around bugis before settling down for steamboat at one of the store. then we stepped into the steamboat place...

$12.80 per adult. 1.20 bucks per can of drink

and the place is rather crowded as seen.. well, its flooded with the chinese

well, there were a few soup selections, and we chose the tom yam with chicken soup

well, i tink the tom yam soup is pretty nice. as in, i do like hot stuff.. hehe

both my sister and i looked ravenously at the buffet table, as we started to grab the food.

wreslting with the crab's leg

*** sign of victory***

distorded pic of my sister wolfing her food

we were enjoying our food so much that we din even realise the "friendly neighbourhood friend" roaming around the areas.

and to my shock, there was one lying near my feet!

totally disgusted by IT!

THE FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD FRIEND

can you believe it. it was lying there, but i din notice it until i picked up somthing from the floor..

and the brave lady boss came and picked up the cockroach within seconds! with BAREHANDS!

oh my goodness.... then i realized that there were actually a few cockroach lying around!

so... not just one, but a few.

my sis n i started to dig into the soup to check for "extra ingredients". thnk god. the food was cleansed and no sign of funny stuff in it.

well.... tink i will never ever visit this place le.. kinda tiring when u have to worry about the cleanliness of your food... +_+

home alone part 1

Thursday, May 10, 2007

2 days ago, my parents happily left me and my sister for their holidays.

well, being responsible parents, they bought lots and i mean really lots of cup noodles!not only tt, my mum bought a few loaves of breads too. haha. and tonnes of hotdogs , fishball etc.
tt got to show how "well" my sis n i can cook.

anyway, i fell sick on that day when my parents are leaving. they bought me to the doc, and sort of took care of me for tt day. down with flu bug and cough. got to thnks the pri sch examinAtions period. gave extra tuition lesson to ensure tt tthey wld do well.

so, i got to learn to take care of myself when my parents are gone. no one for me to "teh", to bring or wash the cup for me. worst, i got to wash my own clothes, eat cup noodles! sob..

when i tot things were bad enuff, a friendly neighbourhood "herO"----- --------------------------------------------------------------------> MR SIAO XIANG, COCKROACH! came into the house lah. i got so freaked out tt i cried a little. how i wish tt "SPIDERMAN" was here to rescue me. now i m so afriad when i walk around the house.

just got to say tt i really miss my parents. looking forward to their arrival + the presents. ahaha

-i hate staying home alone..

that ZOO trip -szg

Monday, May 7, 2007

Singapore Zoological Gardens - the search of lost childhood

after the last visit to zoo which was like eons ago (pri6 bah), i have really missed the ZOO so much. as you start to grow up, you will have the capability to pay for yourself, but you no longer have tt kind of time to go.

but nonetheless, i still managed to visit the zoo on saturday! HAHA

the animal show timings
1) the wonders of the wild animals - 1.30pm

2) the elephant show - 3.30pm

3) doggies show - 4.30pm

some of the photos which i took.. =p

that vain peacock that really know how to post arh

the hungry white tiger is on the hunt for food...

waiting for his lunch to be served ...

and here comes the lunch!!!

the 4tonnes elephant!! this will definitely be a great feast for the white tiger...

unless, you wish to have milk instead?

what about having some camel?

the 2 not so tall giraffes

as much as i was anticipating for this trip, i was greatly disappointed by wat i saw.

1st- the tigers, lions were not as ferocious as they shld be, according to madagascar

2nd- the giraffes are kinda short. tot they shld be... really really tall

3rd- my fav horse seems so... weak, neither hyper nor majestic! it was "stonning" at one corner. rather lonely

4th- when did they move the penguins away??? sob

5th- the polar bears are not swimming. when i was young, i really love the sight of polar bear swimming in the water. but now.. they jus laze around..

so most likely the next trip to the zoo will be another 7 to 8 years later bah. hopefully there will be more things to expect bah..

just trying things out...

Have been wanting to start my own blog a long long time ago. but, just rather IT retard, cant get the blog started.

well,things have been going on pretty smoothly for me. a student care teacher who never fail to punish a student. definitely not becoz the teacher(me) is fierce, but the stud

ents are naughty. working at the student care has allow me to see some of the naive side of the kids. though this job is rather tiring, having to wake up at 6am!! but i am still satisfied with this job.

i still like the primary ones, they are more obedient. hehe.
