it wasn't that the children there were downright horrible, just the environment, the culture, the unfamiliarity and the LONG DISTANCE that made it damn bad. i happen to think that the p5 & 6s i was teaching were pretty okay, irritating at times, but still manageable. (or then again, i wasn't expecting too much from them, so no disappointment, no anger and higher tolerance.) didn't have too much time to interact with them, played this games called 'stress' with them once, and ended losing the game, coz they are too good at it. haha. among them, i like mingen the best. haha, he's actually quite funny, trying to scare me whenever he can and does his work seriously though he goofs around during lesson time. i also taught the p1s today and yesterday; they were noisy but adorable:) did the work i allocated, so that's good enough for me:)
another good thing that abt working at amk was the teachers' training that i went for on tuesday. we had a lesson on 'angry children', which i felt was pretty interesting. i might not totally agree with the solutions provided to handling this type of children, there were still things to take away from the training. feels a little like soci, coz it prompted me to think further, and consider different factors that caused one to be an angry child. and it definitely did remind me that getting angry at an angry child will not help, and it reminded me to more tolerable with the children for this week.
well, i'm glad that this week is over, so i don't have to travel to amk! the only good thing of the trip is that i can spend time reading my book, but i really hate the idea of having to travel more than an hour to get to my workplace. waste time.
i went back to cck after amk today, so happy to see the children there! haha, not many left, but the jing sisters, yeow and zhenghong were still there, so good enough for me:) talked to them, then with wu laoshi before leaving the centre:)
i still have tuition tml, but next week would be a nice break from work i think! :) not willing to go back amk to help put, though the amk supervisor kept asking to go back. HAHA. too far, too far. i kept to my end of the promise with helping this week, so i'm done with it! XD shall go sleep le:)
TGIF! glad i saw you today:)
