pakai tudung

i heard from teachers that Siti won the 1st prize on a coloring contest last week.
This week she has another coloring contest to attend.
She scared that somebody will recognize her. I don't know why she thinks like that. She said, "saya boleh pakai tudung (so that nobody will recognise me)."

They'r watching!

they are playing the word puzzles... I need to be away for a moment, and i leave them with the puzzle.
when i get back, they still playing quietly. And jw becomes lil teacher, 'playing' my role.
Then we start chatting while playing.
Talking too 'excited', until i can't control my saliva coming out together with my words. zy spots it, "teacher, your saliva is coming out!"

Thursday - Church

what relation these two words have?
But Howard used to remind himself of the 'Church' sound as 'Thurs'.
"哦，'church' 就是 'thursday' 的 'thurs'..." 你想通了吗？ 0o^o0 我还是没想通,可是却笑开了怀。

自己来

“我在家里mummy帮我脱衣服、穿衣服的。”
“ooo... 我可不帮你的哦。再难、再辛苦，你也要学会自己脱衣服、穿衣服。 不然会被人取笑的啊。”
他静静看着我... ...
其实他很努力地在学习这些基本技能，动作虽然慢了一些，可是他还是可以完成； 为什么就不能给他多一点时间，让他自己来动手做？熟能生巧嘛。

23rd Annual Graduation & Concert

Yesterday was our kindergarten concert.
Thanks a lot to all the staffs, volunteers and parents for your support and presence.
This is the 1st year i handle the event with greater responsibilities. i gathered the volunteers, job divisions to them and myself controlling the music. but i forgot many little but important things todo. like briefing to MC about what to announce, list out the graduation students, ensure enough seats to all the audiences including reserve seats to VIPs, ensure no blocking on stage, etc. I've to take note about all these next time around, and here to remind myself.
The kids performed excellent! but i have no idea what principal still worried about, she kept rounding on the stage to adjust the line, to take the kids, just can't be relax. Even the teacher lined up them wrongly, but my kids managed to rock as if nothing wrong at all! they helped each other to go on track, this is what i felt warm and touched.

mm...

yl is finding her milk bottles from her bag...
she's getting frustrated because she can't find them easily (cos her bag is messy).
"mmm..."(nodded her head) she found her milk container.
"mmm..."(shaking her head) that is not the one she want to search.
"yes!" finally she found her milk bottle.

今天火气大

while 6-year-old class are playing the matching cards game; the 3 & 4 years were sneaking into the class.
I've spread the cards all over the class. u can guess what I can't take to happen.
but there... aqa came to me with a card slightly wrinkled. And on the spot, 我的火气莫名其妙地大了起来，把全部小班孩子给赶出了课室。
回想起来，难道cards真的比他们还宝贝？

美

今天我才发觉satria学生的美:
他们的功课整齐、上的颜色也创意美观，这些打从上半年我都晓得了。
今天让我觉得美的，是他们的好心、爱心、关心同学、互相帮助的精神。
就算是不够手，他们也想尽办法，把同学朋友们的水壶拿至桌上，好让大家一起喝水；
js 哭了，一大班同学围着他，是在教他如何不让自己掉泪。

姐妹情

今天不是第一次发现“姐妹情深”了。
上回儿：姐姐帮妹妹撕卫生纸；
这回：姐姐丢下了自己的功课，转成良师的角色，教起妹妹造句、写字也！

because

"Why is Lily happy?" i was asking the question while pointing the drawing of a kid smiling, with an adult standing beside her, with her thumb's up.
"because she is good..."
"because the teacher said she is good."
"because teacher show her thumb up."
"because teacher said she good girl."
... ...
spot any wrong answer?
for me, they are excellent. They share what they see, what they know, and they dare to speak out.

main belon

"adik mandi ke? kenapa rambut basah, muka basah, badan pun basah?"
"bukan... saya main belon."
Yes, it's happy to see them sweat, get them moving actively and sweating.
Let's sweat, let's get healthy!

lonely

povi 1st yr school in his 6-year. He totally can't understand a single chinese word or even a,b,c when he 1st came. Now is almost the year end. although he's stil weak in the languages of writing and communicating, at least he can understand a little bit, and can speak a little bit with the class and teachers now. Though his mother tongue and the strongest language is Tamil.
He tries to get into the circle, but most of them reject him, including the other indian boy.
in fact, this is how the society today. Never give up, never to be self-pity!

错怪

大人不一定永远都对，小孩也不一定完全都错。
恳亲会的日子，愈来愈近了； 我们都在加把劲儿地练习。
有时候很气他们都不能记住上下台的步骤，忍不住痛骂一顿后才发觉...原来不是他们不记得，而是我忘了 ---他们正等着我的音乐也。

气球破了

原本打算给他们玩个气球追逐的...
"jw，来帮我吹吹气球。"
她好不容易吹起了气球，后多次都是因为要吸第二口气，没捏好气球里的气，而又让它泄了下来。
后来，我也‘很辛苦’地吹大了气球， 准备我们的“气球追逐”。
我忘了事前说好游戏规则， 结果...
cy 好兴奋地迎接气球，可他用脚... 一踏！ pak!！ 气球破了:(
可怜的jw连球都没碰到，不甘愿地、也不舍地 流下了眼泪。

buntut sakit... 13/10

Today is the turn for satria kids to play with the big ball. Definately, dan and farah were the most excited.
Dan is as 'big' as the ball, and he jumped like a frog; and Farah, she jumped like a kangaroo.
the frog jumped fast, he hitted me, his lip hurt a lil bit. I was the only 1 worried, he took the ball, and continued playing as if nothing happenned to him.
Then another while, he bounced from the ball, kena buntut, then he said, "buntut sakit", then continued again.
btw, he still remember what happenned, "tadi mulut darah sikit, sekarang buntut sakit."
Sometimes, it's okay for them to have a little bit scrathes, a little bit hurts, or even some injuries;
they are learning, they are socializing, they are exploring. even you n me learn from our mistakes.

my failure

dua adik... adik. Mereka sporting! main - mereka paling suka. Selain main, Farah suka tulis dan color, bagus! Selain itu, mereka juga suka komputer! Tetapi...
mouse mereka consider boleh handle sekarang, hari ini 1st kali mereka sentuh dengan huruf-huruf di keyboard, dan barulah saya ketahui mereka masih tak boleh recognise huruf-huruf, even A,B,C!! Hampir setahun belajar, mereka masih tak recognise mummy huruf dengan baby huruf. Kecewanya.

bounce, bounce, bounce

cw is steady since her 3-year-old. it's easy-job for her to hold the chopsticks and this big bouncing ball. Her eye-hand-leg coordination and balancing are excellent.
cy is very very careful bouncing this big ball, but he has fun always. He is picking up most of the things when he plays and even talks.
zy is new. The 1st time she tries a new thing, she will says, "I don't know this..." After she tries, she can master it in a really short time. Now she can bounce the big ball even faster then anyone else, just that a little bit clumsy and lost of balance once a while.

little 'babysitter'

ch is really good at taking care the younger ones.
Danial stil in Raya mood, crying the whole morning.
Teacher Maria takes him to 6-year-old class, soon i hear his crying no more.
When i step in the class in the next period, there i see him sitting beside ch. ch reads n shows her book to him, he's happy.
我走过去奏热闹，他立刻又show哭得一副可怜的样子。
hmm... 小孩的世界，大人真的懂吗？坦白说，很多时候我真的搞不懂。

they got cold, so do I

these days' weather --- raining mostly. the kids got cold easily. I seldom fall sick, though I know my immune system is weak (That's why I get cold from them this time).

1st day school after Raya

yes, u can guess what happens after 5-day holiday. Terrence was sitting on a swing, wants his mummy. Poviarasu doesn't like reading and schoolwork, he was hanging around at the playing side.
Then i saw cy acted like teacher, scolding and warning them to go back to their class, or else will be beaten by teachers.
This 'no-no' child is now brave enough to socialize around. A smart tot, though a lil bit naughty now.
