wouldnt it b nice to b young again?

so sori ya.. uchen, tx for u comments..actuali good n hapi stuff seem to happen to me everyday.. bt, it's just tat by d time i reach home, im already vy tired.. al i wana do is to chat online, n rest.. play w my toffee.. do other stuff.. din't reali hav time for blog. hehee.. ;P

yesternite was my 2nd tuition clas with d same students.. afta d first time incidence, i made a point to control my laughter in d class, no matter how bad d situation.. muz act like a matured adult infront of those kids. i was discussing the answers for "fill up d blanks" n i was reading the sentences out loud. upon reaching the "blanks" i'll say "dash". There was once when i read "dash", i saw a girl nodded her head happily n flashed a big smile at me, then ticked her answer correct. Hey, i was wondering.. i havent say the answer.. so i peeked at her answer (which she ticked correct).. n it was exactly a "-" (dash). At tat point i couldnt help bursting into laughter.. bt tis time i managed to turn my head to d white board n tittered alone. afta a while.. haaah.. i succeeded in self-control. working w the kids r fun, coz they seem so naive, innocent, making funny mistakes.. n when accidentally-laughed-at, they'l smile n laugh along..well well well...

2day i brought group of kindergarten kids to KL bird park n Balai bomba along Jln Hang Tuah. Cute, undoubtedly they are. Bt very naughty (80%) of them. they Like to loiter in groups (without teachers n me!) n walk ahead of the group. So fine.. at first i had a hard time controlling them tis n tat.. bt later i learned sth very valuable.. these kids lov attention n praise! so i go around holdin those who lov walkin alone.. n guess? they're so proud tat i was holdin their hands! once i noticed a gal held her hand (which i was holding) up, n proudly said sth to her frens, i didnt hear it.. bt i know she liked it.

There was another boy whom was so stubborn, a 4-year-old-lone- ranger (heard of it?? gosh..) The irony is, his mom was thr al the while, n she can't even control him! (forget abt d teachers) so i went to hold his hand, said some praise, scared him here n thr.. n bingo! he held my hand tight for the rest of the tour.

i even saw a kid playfully whacked his fren when he's not lookin. His fren knew tat it's him n was angry. wat happened next was amazing.. the boy went chasin his fren to apologize, in a very sincere manner all the way until they went up the bus! he kept repeating the same phrase, "Don't be angry.. im sorry.. i'm realli sorry.. i'm sori.. i'm sorri..."
