Mag is doing her Practicum..:)

Today, exactly a month has passed since I started my teaching practicum...Mostly, it has been a great experience..mixing around with the kids (sometimes, pretending to be one..:), engaging in the school's activities, getting to know new people, digging their earliest experience in teaching to comfort myself....*sigh* Teaching is great, preparing for it is a PAINFUL (!!) experience. But even dat is a new experience for me...hehe...Sometimes it turns to an exciting events (preparing worksheets, teaching aids...etc) 

The teaching sessions  are always a head-spinning moments since all pupils are trying to get full attention from their inexperienced teacher, so the classroom is always a battleground for me...with me as an unarmed soldier, pretending to bringing along a destructive bomb, when all I have is firecracker...:)) 

In the end, they do enjoy the sounds of  continuous deafening firecrackers though...:)) And I enjoy firing them...:))

One thing I learned and appreciate so much when dealing with the pupils is caring...showing that we care means a lot for them (in my case). Even when they are telling me stories in a language that I sometimes trying hard to comprehend, pretending that I understand...:( They juz need someone to listen anyway. When I couldn't get what they've been telling, I made up my own stories juz to distract their attention..hehehe....

And now, I am supposed to settle my debts-finishing the lesson plans and writing the journal....and I don't know where to start...

Of New Year, FUDs n V-Day

Wishing everyone out there a prosperous new lunar year 4708 with lots of blessings throughout the year and beyond...!

My friends and I are spending the holi at our place. No fire crackers, no fire works, no celebration....*sigh*... But there are foodssss......lotssssa foodsss... And i could feel my jeans are very tight this past few  days....:( I should eat less!!! 

Last semester I lost few KGs... and i fit into a size 26 jean!Thanks to my bike...  Yesterday, I didn't even dare to take the jean out from the wardrobe! It looked sooooo mini..... hohoho!!!

They say size doesn't matter, health does.....but I don't feel healthy at all....

 

My aging bike...:))

Anyway, have a great holidays folks!

And....it's also Valentine's Day.... a day when all couples declare (or in many cases, repeating their declaration of lurvveee...:)), by means of presenting gifts, flowers, chocolates...everything under the sun to prove their compassion towards one another... What a good life, huh..:) Most don't even know the history of V-day. Others condemn it as a-day-not-to-be-celebrated, saying it promotes immoral acts among the youths.....See it in whatever angle, it's comforting to know that we still have lots of LOVE to share in this world. 

Anyway, do we need such specific day to enable us declaring love towards the people that we love, adore or appreciate in life? In the modern world, maybe we need such special day(s)....because everyone is busy with watever nots, sometimes they forget to show how much they love everyone around them... We need reminders like Mother's Day, Father's Day, Best Friend's Day, Teacher's day, Birthdays... penned in our diary (now known as Blackberry..:)) just to make sure we don't forget to renew our declaration of love and affection to those matters in our life....

Have a romantic and loving V-day everyone...
