urgh!! today the children really tested my patience.. there's this boy that i've just met for two days and he really can make my blood boil.. not dat he's a new boy in class.. he was sick even before i started my practicum and only got back to school yesterday..

he's one plain lazy boy.. talks so much and only thinks of playing.. disrupts my lessons and guess wat? he even had the cheek to say he didn't want me to teach him tomorrow.. he wants Teacher Lisa (the principal) to teach him.. urgh! like as if i even asked to teach him in the first place..

ouh and i forgot to add.. he's also rude (for those positive-thinkers, you can consider it as straight-forward if you want lah).. a bit ironic cos both parents are teachers mind you.. and another ironic thing is his parents kaki komplen.. a bit only call up school.. i mean of all people, they should understand our situation.. what if their students' parents keep calling to complain? i mean i don't mind if we're at fault.. and mcmlah budak tue baik sangat?

so even before the start of the lesson, Kak Lisa already reminded me not to raise my voice to him, which i consider an achievement.. errmm, ok i've sidetracked a little.. back to why he's rude.. i'm already clearing up for the next session and he came up to me and this is the conversation we had:

Boy: Teacher, teacher, i want Teacher Lisa to teach us tomorrow.

Me: Ouh.. Ok.. why? you don't like me to teach u izzit?

Boy: No <--- not even the slightest hesitation

okay up to this point, i must admit i was a bit disheartened.. i was asking myself, where did i go wrong? i didn't raise my voice to him and even when i scolded, i scolded them as a class.. and i think of all the children, he received wat i call 'special' attention.. i keep coming to his place when he says "I don't know" and i even explained to him on a one-on-one basis.. ok so to continue..

Nabil (a classmate): Teacher, Nabil nak Teacher Siti (dat's wat they call me) ajar.

Boy: You want Teacher Siti then go and sleep with her lah!

mak ai!! at that point jgn cakap my blood boil! kalau boleh evaporate dah takda darah pun!! dalam hati i was saying "kurang ajar punya budak".. nasib baik itu jam dia went off to the assembly area.. kalau tak, complain tak complain, hung tetap kena hung! and parents TEACHERS summore!

and for the start of the next session, i was quite moody.. then i talked to Dila and Farah.. Farah was of course appalled he could say something like dat.. and i told them dat my mind's set.. i don't want to take the K1s anymore.. i just wanna focus on the K2s for my practicum..

talked to Kak Lisa after dat.. initially she was ok wif my plan.. but while i was teaching the K2s, she came to talk to me.. she said if the problem was with the boy, she'd just pull him into the office for the 3 hours and i can be left with the rest of the kids to teach.. she's just worried that i don't have enough students for my practicum.. cos i need at least 5 kids to pass.. and currently for K2s, there's 9 in total but never is there a day where there's full attendance.. and dat's wat worries her..

so there's still a possibility that i'll be taking the K1s for my practicum after all..

anyway enough complaining.. today i did a mini project with my K2s.. we did some shakers, which we made using bottles and green beans.. the children were really enjoying themselves.. pity i didn't get to take pictures this time round..

so, dats basically wat happened today at werk.. after work, went to tuition and now, just got back home.. Mum called saying they're on their way home from JB and they met Tunang and family there.. hehehe.. i think after this i might head off to bed since i think Tunang's already asleep.. so, nitey nites!
