"no la..."
"don't want la..."
"cannot la..."

"why today you have so many 'la' slang??"

teasing

"baby! baby! baby! ..." all her classmates teasing her because she still brings her baby milk bottle in her bag.

Definitely she doesn't like it at all. And she cried in their teasing surrounding.

Last year, i did ask her why she still bringing her milk bottle for milk drinking, why not drink the milk from cup? She replied that the milk is smelly, that's y.

Daisy

Arrived at Satria, teacher Choong told me that Fatin gave each of her teacher a Daisy, that she bought from Pasar Malam.
"Strange. Is there something special today?" I was surprised to received flower in ordinary day.
"Nuhh... She saw the flowers, and juz thinking of giving them to her beloved teachers; that's all."

"Cikgu, saya pergi pasar malam semalam. Dan saya beli bunga-bunga untuk cikgu."
It's simply 童.真 ;)

S, sss... ...

teacher absent today, so i take care of the 4-years-old class today. This week they're learning S, T, U. so, i start of S, asking them 's' is for...sun, skirt, snake; and building up 'S' from the toy tubes, telling story of The Wind and the Sun, asking them to write out the alphabet 'S' on whiteboard.
Yes! They are superb. They done all very well. Then i got them to writing 'S' as in their writing exercise. Only then i knew that most of them have already wrote 'S', only a few that was absent or slow on writing didn't finish.

cempedak好香哦！ - 27/7

“mmm... cempedak好香哦！”
“真的吗？ 我怎么都没嗅到？ 让我嗅嗅看...”

“真的好香哦。 hx要吃是吗？”
“嗯。我病好了，我可以吃。”
其实上回因为他吃了榴莲，病了整个星期。

“爸爸说hx可以吃吗？”
他只点头。
“是吗？爸爸真的说可以吗？ 要是hx吃了又生病，那怎么办？”
他有点犹豫的表情。

“今天回家先问问爸爸，如果他说可以，我们明天就把这香香的cempedak吃掉。 ok?”

病好了

昨天上课期间，jw又发烧了。 yx也有点不对劲，原来也是因为发烧了。
还以为他们俩今天应该会缺课； 可没料到他们都有来上课。且烧也退了。

“jw, 还有发烧吗？”
“没有了。 我在家喝了‘青色’的水， 好了。”

“yx, 还有发烧吗？”
“我没发烧了。mummy昨天帮我抹身，好了。”


_______________________________________________________________________________________

hx自从‘大病’痊愈后，这星期，拉了两次大便。 以前他都会自己脱裤子，到厕所； 现在不知怎么了，要大便不会说，大便了也没说。 问他‘为什么’， 他却一笑而过。

jump.. jump... jump!

jump.. jump... jump.... his shorts is coming down! ^^ ^^

too much time to do nothing, or too few time to do so many things?

the the lesson plans are well prepared, it is too few time to do so many things; but...
if there's no lesson plan, it'll be too much time to do nothing.

1st case is what i feel in Satria, and the latter is what i felt when i assisted the 4 years old in Seri Suria.

你要我怎样做？

“xiang坏蛋，要老师打，是不是？”
他摇头。

“xiang坏蛋，要老师怎么样？ 把他拉出来罚站？”
他摇头。

“xiang坏蛋，要老师kiss他，sayang他，他才会变good boy, 是不是？”
这次，他点头。

酸梅味

“老师，为什么我嗅到我的头发有酸梅味？”
^^ ^^, “大概是你的汗酸味吧。”

half of them absent

half of the 4-5 years old absent today. Mostly are having cold and cough, the serious one might be fever.
hx this week so far is still zero presence. Miss his smiling face, miss his friendly chatting.

Graduation Photo Taking

this is what he said, when we celebrated yw's birthday.
"This is a girl's cake. I don't wanna eat girl's cake."
But he still finished the cake after then.

Today we have graduation photo taking.
He said, "we are wearing dress, girl's dress."
I supposed, "you are wearing the graduation gown! (and maybe it's once in your lifetime wearing the graduation gown.)"

I teased him, "yesterday you said not to eat yw's birthday cake, but u did. That's what happen now: You've become a girl now, and wearing on girl's dress!"

受软不受硬

wh就是受软不受硬的孩子。 even teacher just scold him, but he can end up crying non-stop. Even he knows he did wrong.
So, as he starts crying (non-stop), the only way to get him stop crying and focus on something else is not to talk about his guilty, not to blame him; a simple and silent hug, and involve together in his friends' circle with him, then he might get back into the circle gradually.

everything he wants, except Durian

每一次，他看到别人有份的东西，他也要有一份。

this time i offered him:
"rebenesh, want to eat some durian?"
he shook his head.

"want to try? a little bit?"
he shook his head as well.

"if you don't want, then i gonna finish it."
then he finally spoke up, "principal gives you."

"yeah, principal gives me; now I give you."
"no, principal gives you."

He just wanna get away from it. ^^

ma..ma...mummy

3-4 years old kids have this kind of difficulty.
"ma..ma...mummy, mummy ..."
"mummy, 1 mummy only, ok?"

"ok. ma..ma...mummy."

"tea... tea... teaeeecher."
"tea... cher."
"tea... tea... teacher."
"tea..."
"tea..."
"cher."
"cher."
"teacher."
" tea... teacher."
"tea... cher."
"tea... cher."
"teacher!"
"teacher."

Peanut Butter / Blue Berry Jam

2 bros --- D and G; 1 likes Peanut Butter so much, but the other 1 hate it so much; 1 likes Blue Berry Jam but another eating the jam is harder than eating a bitter medicine.

"i love u"

teacher M: I throw u...
qy: I love u...

teacher M: I throw u...
qy: I love u...

teacher M: I throw u...
qy: I love u...

teacher M: I love u too .

“你要来我家吗？”

hx对yl说：
“我家有很多很多玩具哦，还有铅笔、colour... ...”
“你要来我家吗？”
“可是我的家很远的。”

我插嘴说，“那你带她去你家啊。”

“我的家要直走，then弯过去... ...”他在比手画脚地指起路来了。

“老师，讲故事”

“老师，讲故事...”
“ok, ok. 我们今天有好多好多事情得完成，一个接一个， k?”
“ok.”

其实他们只要一面的故事页，短短的，就满足了。
故事让他们学会做人道理、发挥想象力、增加专注力。

父母们，每天临睡前不妨给他们讲个故事吧。

Second vs last

there are 2 3-year-old tots. so, if they to compete, only first and last. both of them will always want to be the first; if u say one of them is the 'last', he'll get upset.

"yeah! ruben is the first."
"hx will be second, ok."

"I'm number 1. hx last."
"teacher says i'm number 2, I am Number 2!"

see, now u know the difference between 2nd and last? No body want to be the last.

great... or not?

we just started practising the drama - "The Ants and the Grasshopper". And i was surprisingly happy when bryan can remember his few dialogues for the drama just about 3 times practised.

But since then, he still has lots to improve. Besides his dialogues can memorize well; the other times during drama, he has no concentration at all, 心不在焉的神情 throughout the rest of the time.

How should I call it now? great? or not at all?

Manglish

during English lesson:
"try to make sentence with gush..."
"The longkang is gush..."
"'longkang' is malay word; you can use 'drain' instead. Try again."

during Malay lesson:
"Bapa saya menaiki aeroplane..."
