happy valentines to everyone out there and gong xi fatt chai..
i guess we are all stil in the holiday mood ... well i will have to travel back today .. thought of saying a few words before i leave for johor... i felt quite excited when i boarded the bus with the rest of the group for i've never been on excursions with friends . it was a new experience alto gether for me. and to go and teach in a school is another new experience as i have not been for any practical yet ... so it was rather an eye operner to me... when i stepped down from the bus i saw all those cute children in the school porch i was feeling like back in those days when i was still a kid too...
i can recall much of my schooling life but i just know that i was always left behind in games or even a run and chase game with school friends.. i remembered as a kid i was always bullied and my bag was trown into the big garbage tank in the canteen... how i dislike going to school ... i wonder if some of the kid here were like me ,.... hope not.. it seems that they are quite active and friendly toward each other. .. so the language camp was started and the teachers were at first quite nervous to what they should do with a hall full of kids so christina ask them to sing songs... the kid swere still sort of shy but soon they warmed up to the new teachers and began participating... christina then asked me to sing too and i willingly lead to singing session.. it felt like those days when i taught the kindergarten .. the kids really enjoyed singing and the games . it was rather hard at first to explain the song cum game "who stole the cookie from the cookie jar" then every teacher tried to explain the song and the game to every groups...it was so hard to get the message through but the kid were eager so we went on explaining. so finally the explaining was successful and the song cum game was started how they enjoyed themselves.. soon the opening ceremony was announced . the whole day we were either busy running for the games or explaining ourselves to the kids.
i partically enjoyed teaching the quiet ones for i think i was like them shy and far... yet still interested to know something... lessons in groups were carried out and the kids in my group were a bit slower than the rest but nevermind at least they will learn something. thiba and azalia were in the same group as mine... azalia will conduct the class while i helped to write the important words.. on the board... something i should not have done.. because i started to feel a bit suffocated by the dust of the chalk maybe someone should create some chalk that is less dusty or better. ...then after the few games were taught the few quite ones began to show more participation... even the naughty ones began to enjoy the process of learning. the idea of this camp is indeed very good for the help the quiet and ahy ones to come out from their shells. .. later the treasure hunt was conducted i was busy chasing the group of mine boy they can really run so very fast so i tried to keep up with them. ... the treasure hunt was not as good as the lessons taught in class because the group tend to want to finish so fast they hardly know what the questions are and in the end only the good ones will give all the anwers leaving the poor one tagging behind lost and bored... anyway the game ended and we were all exhausted especially me... then we headed for the toilets for a cooling bath i instead went to the canteen with farah and mazlia.. we had each a cool syrup drink and we drank it up quickly like a thristy camel... i forget to avoid the ice because the drink was too sweet and it was really hot that day .. something i regretted doing.. because the ice triggered my asthma that night .. i didn't remember how i was in the room and then i knew that suhami helped me to the car.. all i could recall was explaining the game of okapi to the kida while squating down... the moment i stood up the the world went totally black .. i must have fainted due to fatigue ... i get it quite often whenever i squat down... this may be due to my anemic problems... later that night i was brought to my personal doctor for a jab something i hate most... but better that sleeping all alone on that cold icey room i was put before how i feared the hospitals... thank god .. i had such wonderful friends who cared... then i just dozed off into sweet slumber.. the next morning or rather afternoon i woke up feeling tired but sad for i've missed out the second day of the language camp... but i still hear a lot of things from the blogspot .. so keep me updated ... bye and see you all in class....
