Taking a break
Ok.....exams' finally over and im now....officially free (yessar)
Time to pick up the pieces of my life that I left behind 2 months ago.
I had Mendaki relief for two Saturdays already now and I sure have met some interesting kids along the way. Ive taken this class of 5 primary students and I find them an interesting lot. Too bad I cant stay with any of them.Our meetings are supposed to be very brief. I hope I can get my own class one day.
I relieved Tuty for her Sinda tuiton this week. Sec 4NT and a mix class of sec 1NT and 2NT
I have been warned by her that the lower secs are a handful. Shes right though. Today (wednesday 7th) during lessons, they were really trying my patience. However, experience have thought me well how to handle this kinda students. You must go to their level of understanding, their take to life. One boy was trying to act all gangster and stuff......and so...the 'mat' side of me took over. Just like GTO.
I know better not to shout at them...its useless.....so the only way is to activate the 'laser' mouth.
"swaan" them until they bui tahan and paisey.
then they will give you the necessary attention.
Ruthless, I know...but they showed no mercy..so its fair
the sec ones were having this game of 'guess mr yan's age' game
i find it humorous to know that the range they tot I was in was from 16 to 23
hahahaha
Kids
So I told them...'kids, ive completed my Ns and 4 years of university education.
So how old do you think I am?
'26 !' one girl shouted exitedly
"And yes you are right"
they were abit shocked..I could sense the 'sure or not ' expression in them. Now a boy then asked me if I have a partner..since well...tutys engaged..they tot that hey.Y shouldnt I be engaged...at least attatched.
I tried dodging...but to realise later that only by giving them some ans will they keep quiet n focus on studying, i said im single. which i am.
so he said...'tcher...pass me your number, I have this girl..very preety...I can intro her to you.'
I smiled....kids nowadays.
i rejected politely, threw a few smoke bombs and exited with the likes of algebra and factors.
I met Mr Jamal too, my sec 2 lit teacher.
:)
It has been a good week so far.
Hope it stays that way.
can`t you even see through me? `` Thursday, May 08, 2008
