had an excursion with some of the kids today.. reached school at 8.30 am to help pack the food and get the name tags ready.. the kids arrived at about 9.15 and by 9.55, we were on the bus heading to Singapore Discovery Centre..

and for once, i'm not proud of my kids.. the rest of the other 3 branches were already there.. and all those kids were so well-behaved and properly lined-up.. and as for us? huh.. jgn cakap lah.. terlari sana, terlari sini..

first stop, balloon making.. the kids were taught how to make a fish out of a balloon.. and too bad it was the first station for us.. the kids were more interested in playing with the balloon than listening to the coordinator talk.. we tried telling them off but no use..

so the next station was blocks building.. there's 4 group doing Airport, Seaport, Military Camp and Reservoir.,. and they have to set up a town using blocks that are actually buildings.. offices, shopping ctr, hotel and so on.. so, on the map, they are supposed to build up the buildings on the green area only.. and u noe wat these kids do? they stack up all the buildings together.. tried telling them not to stack by demonstrating but no use also.. nak kata tak paham, cakap Melayu pun sama jugak.. *sigh*

and during lunch, they ate nasi goreng and by the time they finished, one quarter of their rice in on the floor.. and the teachers from the other centres were looking at our kids.. nak kata malu ada, marah pun ada.. marah not at the kids lah but to dat teacher.. i'm actually acting like a mother being overly protective of the kids.. hahaha..

neway, balloons were confiscated cos they're such a distraction and finally, after threatening them that we'll never return their balloons, they managed to line up in 2 rows..

after that, things were better.. the lines were occasionally broken cos some children walked too slow but most of them never let their hands off from their friends' shoulder.. wanna noe y? cos we said sapa lepaskan tangan Teacher tak bawak dia balik.. dats already at the last resort.. we didn't know what to do.. imagine 3 teachers to 35 kids..

and i was so freaking tired when i reached home.. din even managed to go for the project meeting.. and worst thing is, i'd have to go through the same routine again tomorrow for the K2 and N1 students..


wish me luck..
