yay yay it's Friday!

Fridays are usually our busy day. Most of our students opt to come today. We're only open for 4 hours but in that 4 hours, we get to see a lot of them. Every morning, when I wake up, I'll think of the few students I'll be seeing today. Like today, I will be seeing:


1) "Ketul" - in my language, that word describes those little buns we buy and at times could just gobble at one go. He's only 3 and a half. Maybe if he's bigger, we'd think he lifts weights. He's a super active child. Everyone agreed that he's mellowed down slightly. I'm still the one who has to attend to him. He loves it when I give him tasks to do. Like give himself little stamps whenever he does well on every pages, or taking the number board from my table to his table. He's cute.

2) "Tan Sri" - that is a title for prominent politicians in Malaysia. However I have a student who is already acting like one. He's only 11 but looks like he's 17 or 18 and happens to be very bright but a little bit on a show off side. He's doing high school maths even though he's only in the primary. Of cource that's something to be proud of, but he's just a bit much. However, when we start to debate about maths, it's kinda fun.

3) "Tan Sri's sister" - She was a difficult student. But she adores the teachers here. She used to occupy 2 desks when she's doing her work. Not because she's not organized, but because she can't sit still. She'd sit at one side and would be using the other table to write on. She's changed now. She's only 8 but she's my size!!

4) The Three brothers from Ipoh - One is 11 and bullies his brothers all the time. the middle child is 9, quiet and appears calm but always has ways to do things quickly. And his writing.....
The youngest is a cutie but had tantrum experience in the classroom. I was once tortured by him physically! He doesn't do that anymore, but to get him to sit down and settle down with his work is another task. When they come in, at times we feel like we've been hit by typhoon.

5) Little Miss Expatiate and Little Eurasian Boy. Two weeks ago, I got them to sit next to each other. Ever since then, Little Miss Expatriate only wants Little Eurasian Boy to sit with her. Will keep updating on the progress. For goodness sake, they're only 6!!!!!

This job is fun!!!!
