dialog between yy n kk

"你mummy会做这个吗? （pan cake, he means）"
"会。可是不好吃的。"

为什么不好吃？
“因为冷了。”

园长做的还热腾腾。所以好吃！

hey

"Hey, hey, what is this?" my 3-year-old cy asked me. I stunned.
A parent pass by... "When is Teacher Lim becomes 'hey'?"

shower

water heater's water is getting hotter; so I adjusted it to a bit cooler. N since the weather today's hot; so i thought it's ok for them to shower in this water condition.
kk was the last tot i showered. Everything seems fine until...
"huh...chew..."
"oh no, you get cold?"
"is the water too cold for you?"
I can tell that.
I felt sorry for him. I should be more aware...

on the other hand, I'm glad to see improvement on him: Finally he managed to take out his uniform and don his shirt n shorts. Though it takes a longer time, but as long as you try your best. Good work!

They enjoyed, but I...

4-year-old just left 2 tots now.
Watching them play; I know that they enjoyed the plays, but I was 'mengantuk'.
I think I should try to get involve next time onwards, or else I can't get rid of 'mengantuk' then.

five-teen

counting:
"...eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fiveteen..."
"fifteen," teacher corrected them on the spot.
"fifteen, sixteen, seventeen....." then they continued their counting.
This happened in both Tadika Satria n Seri Suria.

老师很凶

He was sitting aside with his friends, watching me scolding at cs.(I beg your pardon, was I scolding？)
He told his friend, "老师很凶hoh?"
我不以为然。其实我不想凶；也很庆幸cs今天没把我气到极点。

老师廋了

没见你们两个星期了。别来无恙？
"这么久没见到老师，她廋了，" yy这么说。

三分钟热度

satria left two 4-year toddlers without wh n tete now.
Farah is good in colouring, but writing, cutting and playing she doesn't have the patience and easily gives up.
aqa has mood, when he is in good mood, everything is ok; juz that sometimes, it's a bit hard to pursue him to write more. He is more behaved now; although sometimes he'll act 'intimately' with farah.

same trick

I'm using the same trick as teacher Chong today.
Last time I complained and discussed with her that I can hardly get aqa to write, even harder to hold his hand and write; but teacher Chong can make him willingly to write a full page, all by himself!
She knows him: he is the kind that need to be informed first of what he needs to do, and if he agrees to do so, he will do it.

"Aqa, nanti boleh tulis sikit tak?"
Dia menggeleng kepala. (He refused to)
"lepas main sekejap, kami tulis sekejap, lepas tu boleh makan breakfast."
"tak apa kalau adik tak nak tulis, nanti cikgu dan farah main sama-sama, adik duduk sini, main sendiri."
...
seems like having a bargaining with him.
"nak tulis? tulis sikit aja."
finally he nodded his head.

We read some Chinese flash cards, played puzzle, played blocks, then he have done his 'r' writing and followed by makan breakfast. great!

no means no??

"teacher, i want to play ..."
"no."
(why teacher always do not allow this, don't allow that.)

"teacher, i want to play ..."
"yes, after this 1st."
(is it play have to be conditional?)

"teacher, i want to play ..."
"yes!"
(yeah!!)
