Post A Levels~

KL-Kuala Pilah-Kuantan Trip
Went to Kah Hwee's hometown for 3 days 2 nites. It is a quiet and small town in Negeri Sembilan. In order to go to seremban, we will need to take a bus ride down. Practically what we did that 3 days was shopping. Went to the Seremban market where the dress and blouse are very nice, and sold at affordable price, provided that we are good in bargaining. I guess my skill in this is very much at the same level as Kah Hwee :P should have learn more from my mom.

Besides, i also learn how to make donuts at Kah Hwee's house. Under the supervision of her maid, we managed to produce *edible* donuts. Unfortunately, my lousy brain cant remember how to make the donuts now.Pathetic me. Anyway, the donut making process was indeed very fun :)

Although the trip to Kuala Pilah/seremban was a short one, i had fun. thank you Kah hwee for being a tour guide ( a blur one ) bringing me around.

After the visit to kah hwee's house, i have the honour to show kah hwee around Kuantan city. Nothing much actually, just the beach and some shopping areas. Exploring some places which i have not been visiting for ages brings back fond childhood memories to me. Hope i didnt bore KH off during this 3 days.

Teaching Experience in Primary School
Being a teacher was once my childhood ambition. But somehow to avoid from ruining the future generation, i decided not to become a teacher :P However, i get to fulfill my desire to teach infront of many cute small kids when i got called back by my primary school to become relief teacher for one week.

Nervously, i stepped into the first class that i was asssigned to. After the students greeted me, i introduced myself and started the lesson. It was a music lesson. At first i was in a horror state as i cant even sing well, how can i teach music!!! Anyway, it went well because all i had to do is to on the radio and ask the students to sing:P Besides music, i had to teach Science, Maths, Civics, ME, PE.

I thought i would not make a good teacher because of my poor communication skills. But i am wrong. Haha. The fact that i got 3 cards from students on the very first day i am in school proves that I am not that bad after all :p I enjoyed talking and teaching the students. i realised that one quality which is very important in a teacher is "patience". Watching the students singing happily, coloring the workbook, walking happily in the corridor reminds me of many many sweet memories :) I miss those primary school days. The innocent mind know nothing about the real world out there, stress free and just filled with fun fun and fun.

Anyway, being in a different position in my old primary school was a wonderful experience. I got to observe the life of a teacher and the life of primary school students in today's world. And it was great meeting back some of my primary school teachers. Most of them (8 out of 10) couldnt recognise me when i approached them. I wondered did i change that much after 7 years.

I got sore throat the third day i taught in the school. This is the consequence of having to yell and scream at the naughty students. There are so much of interruptions during lessons in some classes. One thing i really love about small kids is that they have the courage to ask questions. Class participation was really excellent. Everyone raised his/her hand when i ask a question or need a volunteer :) unlike us, everyone look or pretend to look down at the book when volunteer is needed in class.

All in all, the teaching experience was a memorable and exciting one for me. In the process of teaching, i learn from the students as well :)
