Pray for your friends

Praying for your friends is the very best thing you can do for them. When you pray for them, you are making an investment in their lives. It shows that you trust God to watch over them and bless them. We face many temptations in our world today, so it would be great to ask God to help your friends resist temptation and stay pure in their thoughts, words, and actions.

Contract

I finally signed the contract with TOUCH as an assistant teacher! YEAH! Daddy fetched me to TCT and fro centre by his friend's motorcycle. The journey was very cold and I thought I would catch a cold and surely I did, but it's a mild cold. I reached centre at 1030 which is quite late. Wrapped and sticked loads of charts. Having backache. Tomorrow have to organise the charts. The day after tomorrow have to sort out the library. LORD, please give me Your strength to complete the work by friday 1430, I don't want to stay in centre until 2000. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen!:)

K2 last day in school

Early in the morning I bused down to Bukit Timah to sign contract, but the door to the 2nd floor was locked. I waited for a while and message Winnie for help. She asked me to call Stefanie the hq personnel. I couldn't get through and she asked me to call the receptionist. After many attempts, nobody answer any of my call. I was quite disappointed. In the end, Winnie said that they might be closed because of Christmas last sat and asked me to cab back to centre.

When I reached there, I was a bit disorientated. I can't settle down quickly and was very cold. But after awhile I'm starting to warm up with the K1 children. As usual the children was very happy to see me. HEHE~ It's different today, I felt that I didn't really do anything and I don't like it. I want to play with the children and talk to them about everything under the sun. HAHA!

Tomorrow till thursday is their school holiday. The K2s are not going to come back anymore and I missed them so much. Today when the children was at the music room. Caleb came and hugged me and gave me a surprise kiss on my cheek! In fact, in the morning he already hugged me lots of time already. He is so cute! HAHA! Love him to the max. Ok got to go! Ciaos!:)

Angels

Today went to work and was assigned to the Math corner over at K2 class. It was fun even though it is very tiring. When we came to the last shelf, Zhang lao shi was about to sweep the floor, I happened to look inside and I saw a LIVE COCKROACH!! My immediate reaction was to scream and run. Zhang lao shi don't know what is going on also scream and run with me! HAHA! The whole incident was so funny that we kept laughing and laughing. Ms Low happened to be at K1 and she saw it and was laughing very happily too. HAHA!

After work, I went back home to rest for 2 hours. When the time was up, we went over to Angela's house and celebrated Christmas. I love the gathering that we had; it was very fun. I love the presents that I received especially the 2 presents with the angel. One from Kimmy and the other one from someone in my cell group. It is a very beautiful gift. God is reminding me that I have 2 angels guarding me. He is protecting me.

The most precious gift that I received is the present from Jesus. He gave His life for me. That is a priceless gift! I love You Jesus!:)

Joy of Christmas

The special needs children may seems to be giving us work to do but I found out that they are actually very very very smart children. They just don't know how to express their thoughts and everything. Today Josh said my name and I was very happy because he never called me before.

Whole of the morning I was with the K2 until they went to sleep. When they are playing at the playground, they are very happily laughing and it makes me very happy seeing them enjoying so much. It's a sad case when some children can't even have the luxury to have fun.

Bathing the K2 was very easy because there is only 10 of them! 3 times fewer than the K1. HAHA! When I was done bathing with the children, I was so relax. Then suddenly Joshua said, "Zhou lao shi, we haven't bathe yet(In chinese)." I think he saw me outside and might have know that I have finished with the bath. Both Joshua and Zitane haven't bathe yet! HAHA! His reaction is so funny. Then they kept asking me why I didn't bathe them. HAHA! Children sometimes really sound like mothers, kept asking the same thing.

During their nap time, we teachers were celebrating Christmas and birthday of Miss Winnie, Mrs Lim and Zhou lao shi. I really enjoying my time there, it's like a big family. We exchanged christmas presents and there was lots of laughter. I was very happy for the whole day. Thank God for the wonderful time we have.

When they are supposed to wake up, Joshua and Christopher were very smart. They know that I'm joining the K1 in the afternoon, then they kept asking me to go their class. Joshua still please me and blocked my way. Then I said, "If not I cut myself into half, then half go K1 half go K2. How? HAHA!" They are a bunch of cute children.

The moment I joined K1, I need to start raising my voice. They are making me so frustrated by fighting at the door. It's because the space is too squezzy for all of them and they will get angry when somebody accidentally push them. One group here fight, settled, next group start, settled, another group start, settled, the previous group continue. Making me headache man. But I still enjoy playing with them.

From the bottom of my heart: I sincerely thank God that He has given me such a heart and character to be able to communicate with the children and even play dolly corner with them! HAHA! I'm really thankful that I'm so happy with the children. I always laugh with them and also laughing at what they said and what they do. Every moment of my time there was spent laughing. Even after I scold them I still laugh because they are too cute for me to be angry with them. Thus, they don't listen to me when I scold them. I have to be more firm, I have to learn from Miss Winnie.

TOUCH childcare today celebrate Christmas day! I have loads of fun with the children. It was a very heavy day and everything is rushing to finish. I'm not sure whether is tomorrow or next monday is the children last day. I will miss the K2 loads so I'm going to treasure my time with the K1 when they go to K2.

God's love

I was assigned to T class for the whole day! They are so cute and I want to kiss everyone of them. One thing that is good about them is that I don't need to raise my voice when I'm talking to them. If I'm at the K1 class, when I shout it is covered by their voices. Can you imagine how noisy they are? But I love both classes.

Clarice from T class who is Claire's younger sister beat and kicked me! She is so violent! I was at first scared of her but I can't let her control me so I told Huang lao shi. Luckily she is so small size, if not I will be beaten badly. Claire is much better than her. But in some ways she is very cute.

There is this girl called Joy Foo from N class, she is indeed her name. She is always laughing and she always hug me when she saw me. Such a adorable girl! HAHA!

Today the K1 and K2 said goodbye to me until got scolded by Zhou lao shi. They are so poor thing, because they are not supposed to make noise and stand up. Guess next time have to be very secretive when I'm passing by. HAHA!

These few days really can feel God's love surrounding me. Thank God! I love You Jesus!:)

Lady of security

I read the chapter about "Lady of Security" and did the quiz too. Being a lady of security means that we don't jump onto any guys that we think is suitable for us. We have to wait for God's clear instruction whether is this guy suitable for us. If it's not then we have to let it go immediately and continue to be friend with him. What girls really have to do is to just wait. Some might think that it is so old-fashion to wait for guys, why not make the first move? But you are wrong if you think that way because it is a natural thing for guys to make the first move. No point believing in the lie that we girls should make the first move. In the end, the one who gets hurt is you. So wait for God's time. You can't find security in a MAN! They can't give you perfect security, only GOD can and he will. Only God can give us true love which can't break our heart.

As usual I'm under the more than 31 points, "SECURELY GROUNDED":
You are a rare teen because you have found the secret to placing your trust and need for security fully in Christ. In your life, He looms larger than any earthly lover ever could. You have learned to value His affection for you more, which means you are content to wait for a husband. You know your security is not dependent upon any man--and that no man, no matter how wonderful, can provide you with true security and safety. You recognize that no man can commit to the degree that Jesus has committed Himself to you, and you are so thankful. You are being prepared to be an awesome friend (and perhaps wife and mother) because you are able to relate to people with true love and a generous spirit, rather than demanding security and affirmation from them. You love reading the promises in God's Word and spending time in His presence. This is the best choice you could ever make, and you can be confident that you will be securely grounded no matter what trials or temptations life may bring. Jesus has become your rock.

Forgive Often

In Matthew 18, Peter asked Jesus, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus' answer was, "...not seven times, but seventy times." The point Jesus was making is not that we are to keep track of how many times we forgive, but that we are to lose count along the way and not stop forgiving. Sometimes it's hard to forgive, but it's best. Holding grudges is a no win.

It's a happy happy day

Today I went to 3 classes except K1. It was a very happy day for me. I was hesistant to went to work because I know I am assigned to the N class, but who knows I was assigned to the T class then about 11plus I went over to K2. When I was passing by the K1 class, Caleb suddenly come and hugged me and wouldn't let go. After that one by one of the children came and hugged me and don't know want to let go too. Luckily they are not pushing if not I would have fall down and squash by them. HAHA! Imagine 10 over children going to 20 come hugging you. I'm so happy that they like me so much.

Yesterday, the K1 also kept calling me. All of them want my attention so much. One called me and then follow by another. Then the whole group of K1 was shouting my name which is very noisy. Luckily the Principal is not there, if not all of them confirm got scolding. They are so happy to see me and when I saw them, I'm also very happy. They even called me when they are going for outdoor activity outside T class. They are really so so so cute that I couldn't stop smiling at them.

When I was bathing the K2 halfway, Shi Kai from the K1 class haven't bathe yet. Zhang lao shi came and tell me that he cried and only wants me to bathe him. I can't believe he actually insisted on me only. I really want to laugh but he is not supposed to do that. In the end I also bathe him and he is quite happy about it. Too cute and innocent already. HAHA!

The N class children also kept calling me and I'm very happy that they like me so much too. I'm proud to say that actually all the classes likes me. A bit thick-skinned here. HAHA! God's love must be very powerful that the children experience love through me. I thank God for giving me these sweet moments that I will treasure it.

Over at the music room, when I was about to go home, I was sitting beside Joshua at that time. When I said I have to go home now, he said no and he wants me to stay with him. He sounds like his younger brother, Caleb. In order to not let me go, he hold on to my hand. He kept asking me to stay with him but I need to go if not I don't mind just sitting there for a while more. Then he start asking me where I'm going and what I'm going to do. Then he said he is also going shopping with his family. He is quite a mature child and he is very cute! HEHE~

I miss the K1 children!

The N class was quite enjoyable today and the time passed quite fast without me knowing it. I got to endure for one more day and hope that next week I will be assign to the K1 class. They are quite adorable when I know more about them. I was actually helping the T class and N class here and there. I just don't know why I don't know how to hurry the N class but I can hurry the other 3 classes. When it comes to other 3 classes I immediately have the energy to do work. Weird.

When I was about to go home, I saw the brothers, Sean and Sam outside the music room and I was suddenly very happy and I said bye to both of them. Both of them smiled at me but Sean was quite shy. Then Sam hugged me goodbye and Sean followed his younger brother. They are so cute!!! They always have that smiling face and when they are angry, they are so cute! HAHA!

After that I went to find the K1 at the classroom window and they were very happy to see me. Everyone called me one after another and talked to me. I'm so happy that they like me so much. Caleb asked me whether is it every Friday I will go to their class. When I said no and that tomorrow I'm going to N class, he was quite sad. HAHA! Then when he come out from the classroom he kept hugging me and refused to let go. When Chen lao shi came to bring him to the music room, he hold on to my hand and refused to let go. HAHA!

It's a beautiful day

In the morning I was with the N class and about 10am when K1 went out for outdoor activities, I tagged along. The moment I reached there, they called me with smiling faces. I like it so much and I'm so happy that they are delighted to see me. They started talking to me which they are not supposed to because when they are outdoor, they are supposed to be quiet. But I'm too happy to tell them to be quiet. HAHA!

As usual I have loads of fun with them even though some of them really makes me feel very irritated. Today I started to wake every girls up by calling them princess Angeline, princess Zinnia and so on and so forth. The girls in this class really like themselves to be called princess, so when they heard it, they woke up with a smiling face. HAHA! So cute! I even woke Manfred by calling him prince Manfred and he is also smiling.

During lunch time, Yuan Hao the new child, suddenly came covering his mouth and said to me, "Miss Tan you are very beautiful." He was very shy but he still wants to tell me that. He is so cute and sweet! After he said that I was so happy for the whole day even until now I'm still smiling to myself. HEHE~

During the afternoon teabreak, Sean suddenly said to me, "Miss Tan, you like me right?" Then I said yes and I asked him whether does he likes me or not. Then he said yes with a smiling face. When I asked him how did he know that I like him, he said it's because I didn't scold him. HAHA! He is really too cute! He is so sudden and his answer is so cute. Makes me love him loads. HAHA!

Laughing all the way

Today stayed with the N class until 10am then went over to the K1 class. After I reached there, I was immediately smiling from chin to chin. It's not that the children in N class is boring or what, but I'm just not used to the class so I felt bored over there. Thurs and Fri I'm going to be there for the whole day! God please give me the strength to stay over at N class. I just hope that next week I will get to stay with the K1 class.

Caleb is still the same, he kept looking at me and smile at me during assembly. Then when he is near me, he will hug me. And he kept saying he likes me. HAHA! Can't tahan his behaviour. Josh today is very cute, indeed everyday he is very cute. It's difficult to type out what he did because he didn't talk much. He is a special need child and I love him a lot. I'm thinking of ways to talk to him but I don't know how. He don't answer my questions and he don't talk to me.

I don't have much to talk about but the whole day I'm enjoying myself with them. I kept laughing and giggling to myself. After I get home, I watched Eclipse with daddy. HEHE~ Now is already 2213, so I got to sleep soon if not tomorrow I will be tired. So ciaos!:)

CHILDREN = JOY

I always have story about this Caleb. He is too lovable already. He likes to give me the kissing face and he loves to show people his love. When he kisses Shi Kai, I asked him how come he didn't kiss me. Then he came and kissed my stomach 4 times. So cute!! Then he kissed Shi Xuan. After that he asked them whether did they know why he kissed them. He said that he sayang them by doing that. Extremely cute!! HAHA!

He kept coming to hug me and smile at me. When he is doing a difficult question, he showed his temper and demand me to teach him. I purposely teached others to train his patience, who knows he throw his book on the floor. Whenever it comes to school work, you need patience to teach him to do if not he will not do.

After break, we went over to N class to watch a movie. Watched until forgot the time to go home. Then I went to take my bag and stayed there to watch till the end. Caleb saw me with my bag and came to hug me. He asked me, "Miss Tan are you going home now?" I replied, "Yupp." He asked somemore, "Can you wait until we go in to music room then you go home? If not later I can't find you." So cute!! Of course I followed him until they went in to the music room. I didn't even know that the children will find me when I'm not in their class.

Regene everyday will come and tell me that she every morning will find me. Today morning she can't find me because I start work during assembly time. She always said I'm her mummy which I can't tahan it. HAHA! She likes to smell me and play with my hair. Somehow she is like a big sister in her class. She is a smart girl and a bit mature for her age.

Calista today kept following me because I took care of her stomach the whole day. She kept saying she got stomach pain but she is quite well. I love all the girls in this class and they are very nice to talk to. Actually I love the whole class a lot.

Wei Jun last week suddenly asked me, "Miss Tan, why everyday you don't like me?" I was shocked and I said, "Who said I everyday don't like you? I like you and I love everyone." These children really seek love and attention. I want to give them all my love and more and more each day.

Children really bring lots of joy to me. God made them as a channel of love and joy from God for me to receive. Thank You God! Even if the job is tough and stressful, when I'm working with children, everything it alright. Sometimes when they are very funny or adorable, but it's inappropriate to laugh or smile at them.

Exciting

Yesterday went for Kimmy's baptism straight after work. It's too rush already. Too bad I don't have time to buy present for her if not I won't have to buy it yesterday. Anyway Rosanne said if I opened a cell group, she will come under me. I was suddenly encourage to do so and I want it badly. I will leave it to God for this issue.

Today went back to work for meeting and washing of toys. Working with Ms Low indeed is stressful, as she is the manager. Stress is good to strengthen my experience and knowledge. I'm going to work as hard as possible and prove that I can! With Christ, I can conquer anything. Amen! I'm so excited for next year. It's also a year which I won't be a teenager anymore. It will be a year whereby I have to train to be independent.

I saw the schedule for next week and I was quite sad that I'm assigned to N class for some of the mornings. But I kept telling myself that, if I continue to stay in K2 at 2012 I will teach them, so I have to get used to them. Have to have God's love to stay in that class, anyway I'm staying for some mornings only. Still got 2 more weeks and that's it I will be staying at K2.

After work, I went shopping with mummy at Amk hub and junction 8. Bought loads of things and I think I need to start buying presents, if not I will left with no money to buy. HAHA!

Amazing day

In the morning, the same thing happened, they fight again. This time round, Jayden joined in with them. I was so angry at him, he is learning the wrong thing. The K2s are not behaving themselves in front of the N class. I scolded him twice and after that he didn't do anything.

Caleb asked me the question again. He asked, "You said Friday you are coming to my class right?" Then he give me the kissing look again and kissed my stomach. He is so adorable and I love him so much. I missed the K1 and I'm looking forward to tomorrow. Joshua said that he is going to heaven. He was just playing. Then I said, "Reject that in the name of Jesus." He asked me, "Do you believe in God?" When I said yes, he said, "Then you can go to heaven too." So cute!! HAHA!

Oh ya, that day forgot to post about one incident with the T class child called Qing Nian. He is a very cute boy who caught my attention when I was with them. During lunch time, I went to sit beside him, but then Clarice asked me to sit beside her. I changed the sit and Qing Nian asked me back. When I remained seated, he stares at me. I thought what he want but when I looked at him, he was tearing. Then I immediately changed back to sit with him. He is so cute! HAHA!

Kayson today suddenly wake up from nap and called me MUMMY! I was like, "I'm not your mummy!" He just smiled at me very happily. He is very very cute and easy to carry but he is quite playful. I was angry at him for kept making noise during nap time and also hiding under the table. It's so dangerous to hide there. When I was scolding at him, I scolded wrong things and I was very sorry about it. Lord, please forgive me for saying that to the child.

I love the children so much!

During breakfast is my only time with the K1 and K2. I enjoyed the time with them even though it may be tiring to keep on asking them to stop fighting. The K2 will get into fights anytime. They like to bully the special need boy, Joseph and he likes to disturb them. Every morning is the same problem.

When I was sitting down looking after them, Caleb talked to me. This is our conversation:
C: Miss Tan that time you said friday you are coming to my class right?
M: Yah, today only wednesday so still got 2 more days.
After a while, he talked to me again.
C: Miss Tan I still remember your name. You are Miss Tan. Even my daddy also know your name. If next time when my papa and mummy old already then my gor gor and I grow older, you also will grow old is it?
M: HAHA! Yupp!
C: I like you leh. Miss Tan I like you, you know?
M: HAHA! I like you too.
C: You know Miss Jamie?
M: Yupp.
C: I like Miss Jamie also. You know I like Miss Jamie. I like Miss Jamie, I also like you.
Then his gor gor heard the conversation and he said, "Your girlfriend ahrx?!" HAHA! So funny!

Then Darren asked me, "Miss Tan, you know Miss Jamie?"
I answered, "Yah. Why?"
He asked again, "That time concert day you and Miss Jamie got talk or not?"
When I said yah, he gave me a relieved behaviour. As if I must talk to Miss Jamie if not something will happen. HAHA! So cute!

After the T class went outdoor activities, I wait for Ms Low to go for my interview. It was successful! Thank God for His grace and mercy that I got this job as a permanant staff. Hallelujah praise You Jesus! I was nervous that I couldn't answer their questions but it was useless. Because God had already opened the door waiting for me to claim it.

When I came back, they were all sleeping already. I forgot that I was having a nap time duty! By the time I reached, it's not my turn anymore. After nap, I was sent over to help at K1. I was very happy to help them. I hoped that tomorrow they will put me there, anyway they already have a helper.

After teabreak, Stella asked me a question, "Miss Tan, you didn't come and play with me for so many days already you still remember me or not?" I replied, "HAHA! Of course I remembered you, Stella!" She is so cute! No wonder before that, when we are having teabreak, she kept looking at me.

These children are cute beyond cuteness. HAHA! Talking to them is a very fun thing to do. I can't wait for friday to come!:)

Smiling all day long

Stick with the T class for the whole day. I missed the K1 so much! In the morning before assembly, Caleb came to sit on my lap and I talked to him a lot. He is really very cute then I said, "I love you!" and even kissed his head. Seriously he is too cute already but he is very scary when he is angry. Then when I went over to the K2 side, his older brother came and jumped on me and hugged me. He is a tall boy with long legs and arms yet he hanged on there for so long. Luckily he is not heavy. HAHA! I think both of their love language is physical touch. Kept wanting to hug and kiss. So cute!!!!

Then in the T class, the children kept making smile. Their action and everything is so cute. Kayson, a 2 year old boy who is trying out the school, kept crying non-stop when his father went away. He don't want to wash hand when it's already teabreak time. When I asked him, he start crying again. When I try to wet the tissue and wipe his hands, he cried again. He cried for about 15 minutes, then finally I succeed in persuading him to wash his hands and go for teabreak. Thank God! After that he kept smiling to me and looking at me. Where I go he want to follow.

During lesson time, Dario kept staring at me. When I smile at him he just continue to stare at me. When they are playing toys, he kept wanting me to sit down. I said I don't want to sit but he kept pulling me down. When I'm sitting on the floor during lesson, he wants me to sit with him. Then Kayden heard it and he was so cute, he said, "He wants you to sit here. Come!" Then he pulled my hand. Dario saw it and stopped Kayden from pulling my hand. Both of them are so cute!

When they are sleeping, I went to help so many teachers. As if I'm a superwoman. After helping Huang lao shi, I went to help Chen lao shi. After helping Chen lao shi, I went to help Ms Low. After helping Ms Low, I went back to help Huang lao shi. It's so fun to do all these things. But teaching is difficult. Tomorrow I'm going for an interview for this job. I'm nervous and I don't know what will happen, but I know with God I can do anything. Somemore Ms Low said until like I confirm can work with them for full time. So I must stop worrying and believing in God that He will help me. Yeah!

Sleepy

In the morning, it was my first time to put my alarm to snooze. I never did that before. I guessed I was too tired already. During nap time, I even slept with the children and woke up at 2pm which is the time that I need to wake up. I didn't even put alarm. I thought I will not sleep but who knows I slept immediately after I lie down.

I went over to help at T class then suddenly changed to help N class. I'm so sleepy and tired. I have no energy to play with them too. I missed my K1 badly! Especially when they saw me and they called me. I'm hearing "Miss Tan" everywhere from the K1. Some still asked me why I'm not in their class. I don't know how to explain to them. HAHA! I want my K1 back! Too bad Miss Winnie went for holiday so I have to replace her.

I hope that this week will pass quickly and that wednesday interview will be a success. Lord God almighty, please help me and calm down my nerves. Let me not be anxious and nervous. Give me strength for tomorrow and the days to come. Thank You God! Actually I prefer the T class to the N class. It's because T class children are too cute! HAHA! But still every children is still so lovable.

Talk through disagreements

You can talk through disagreements without breaking up the friendship. First, agree to talk-and really listen-to each other. Speak with love and respect, without letting your emotions take over. State your feelings clearly and avoid saying things like "you never" or "you always." Allow your friend to talk without interruptions, and take turns until you both have a clear understanding of the problem. Then work out the best solution possible.

Lady of purity

Control yourself! Don't let the devil control your life. Never have pre-marital sex! No matter what you think of as an excuse, it is still a sin. It's like what the book says, if you give your first time to someone whom you are not married to, you can't give your first time as a gift to your husband. Imagine opening a Christmas present secretly before the big day. You got the surprise but when it's the actual day when you are supposed to open it, you are not surprise at all. All the fun has being destroyed by your foolish act. Stop lying to yourself that sex will help you win the guy's heart. It doesn't work that way!

Did the quiz and I got it again, "PURITY-DRIVEN (more than 31 points)". It says:
You are truly committed to sexual purity. You've had to make a lot of sacrifices and endure mockery from your peers at times, but when you think about the value of the gift you carry, you know it is all worth it. You are so thankful that God has given you the strength to preserve your virginity, and you see how it has helped you to be confident in your identity. You know you're accepted by Christ, so guys can't allure you with promises of love and acceptance in exchange for your body. Jesus is so pleased with your commitment to purity, and He will reward your choice whether you stay single or get married. Purity is a choice you will never regret.

Funny day

I was bitten by a boy in class! It was not painful but there was a mark. I was so shocked that he did that. I have forgiven him already because he is a special needs child. It was a very difficult thing to do when you need to handle special needs children.

Today they have meeting until 1700!!! I was supposed to end work at 1645 but never mind, I like to stay with the children. During nap time, I was actually put with the T and N class but I asked for a change. HAHA! It's because I want to be with the K1 and K2. HEHE~ When I was with them, I think I have improved. I managed to handle them! Thank God for His strength. When other teacher leave the class, the children knew that only I'm in the room then they start to make noise.

They kept coming to me to ask me whether they can go toilet. I don't allow some because they don't want to listen to me. There is this incident very funny. I don't allowed Caleb to go to the toilet because over at the classroom, asked him to go he don't want to go. After a while, he suddenly came and hugged me and kissed me on my cheek! Then he asked me whether can he go to the toilet. HAHA! So smart right? I think he will be a very romantic person when he is old enough. The k2 saw it and asked me why he kissed me. How I know why? HAHA! Then he said he likes me. So cute! Then Xuan Hui asked me whether can she kiss me too. HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After that he don't want to sleep. He still said that if he don't sleep he will still have energy. Children always give this kind of excuse but no choice they have to sleep for more than 8 hours. I was marking the k2's homework then when I shifted my place, he gave me that very sad face. I asked him why he don't want to tell me. So I went back and he said he don't want me to go away. He want me to be there with him. He is so lovable and I love him so much!!

Oh yah! Next year I will be with the K2!! Means this year's K1! They already have 27 children and Ms Low said there will be one more special needs child coming in!!!!! God please be my strength! Next Wednesday I'm going for the interview! I'm so excited. God please bless me!! Thanks! Next year it will be a very exciting year. I need to be prepared for all the hard works. God please always be with me. Thank You!

Restless

Today I almost late for work. I woke up at 0650!! I was supposed to wake up at 0610 but I switched off the alarm without waking up. I'm so restless today. I even have my devotion on the bus. Quite weird but at least I did my quiet time. I better sleep early tonight if not I will feel tired the next day. Ok got to go! Ciaos!:)

New friend

Today a new child called Lee Yuan Hao, transferred in to the class. They are so cute, when they saw new friends they all surround them. Of course, he was crying. Poor child. After that he get used to the surroundings and make new friends. He is quite blur in class as in he don't know what is next. We, the teachers are too busy with our work and sometime miss him out. The class already have 26 children now add him means the class got 27 children. I will sweat while bathing them! But I thank God that He gave me this kind of situation for me to learn.

In the afternoon after nap time, I went over to help out at N class. I'm not used to the environment there. They did art and craft and it was paint! This age group(4 years old) is so scary, they got my WHITE tights with paint!! And it's green! If it can't take off I think I will paint white over it. HAHA! But they are very fun and sometimes my eyes will just wander off to the T class. They are really so adorable even though it's very troublesome to take care of them.

Oh man~ I missed Caleb. He has been absent for 2 days. I wonder why. He is so lovable although he is so naughty. HEHE~ Heard that they said tomorrow we will know next year which class we are teaching. I really hope that I will just stay at K1 or K2.
