we are all born mad. some remain so.

I looked at my new year's resolutions and strike out those that i have broken.

1.I WILL lose 10kg before June.
2.I will stop gorging horribly unhealthy food.
3.I will start exercising.
4.I will be slightly nicer to those I hate. (Except for some)
5.I will stop bitching secretly about others.
6.I will try to go to a church regularly.
7.I will NOT deprive myself of TV.
8.I will keep tabs on my savings.
9.I will love and show consideration towards my family and friends even when they piss me off.
10.I will try to 'feel' more for the people who died in the tsunami. (Yes I don't really give a damn)
11.I will continue to support Sylvester no matter how brainless everyone thinks it is.

GREAT.

okie its the weekend (FINALLY) so let me briefly talk abt my working experience...
basically the student centre (Marian Centre, not Marion Centre as i said earlier, sorry) is a centre where the kids (mostly Marymount Convent girls) who are from poor or problematic families, so they come every day (depending afternoon/morning session) and do homework, sleep eat and play until its time to go school or home.

so im there, to do homework, sleep eat and play with them until its time to go school or home! im just a temp teacher, so i dont get involved in programme planning like the perm teachers. its horrible and nice at the same time to be with the kids...

negative: their outstanding mastery of deceit and putting blame on others (applies to P5 and 6
positive: the cuteness and innocence that they possess. ok thats bullshit. they suck up to you. so this is negative as well.

all of them try to suck up to you. you will know it if u are alert enough. when u start being serious with them they'll abandon you. their attempts to suck up to you hides an agenda. it sounds quite horrible when i put this in words but its the truth. only some (and i really mean SOME) are genuinely nice to you. some like to abuse your authority by claiming that you gave permission to do this and that and order others around.

and i have to put up with their innocent insults.

girl: "miss seet. how old are you?"
me: "19!"
girl: "but you don't look 19!"
me: "REALLY!!!!" *beams*
girl: "yah you look older! 20 something 30 something!"
me: "WHAT!"
girl: "its not your looks... its your body."

boy: "miss seet. who you like? joel or joshua or george?"
me: "i like you."
boy: "but who you want to be your boyfriend?"
me: "you loh!"
boy "NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" *shakes head vigourously*

so you see it isnt at all fun to be with these little devils. the most accomplishing time is homework time, where i force them to do their homework neatly. that's when they hate me. but the next day they'll be grinning from ear to ear saying "miss seet! yesterday the homework i got ALL correct!"

i dont think im up to keep this job. my english is getting from bad to worse, having to simplify every sentence i say to let them understand. and my jokes always get the cold shoulder. i blame it on their low intellect, not my poor joking skills.

i like getting cute things from them:


the top left hand one is a paper crane glued to a piece of paper with the words "i love you miss seet" no i didnt write it myself.
the red colour thing is a paper crown... another case of sucking up.
the one in the middle with the luminous top and multi coloured boxes is a chinese new year card made by a P1 girl.
the right side is a notepad given to me by a P6 girl in EM3 who cant calculate 1X5. but im glad to say she has better confidence of herself now i forced her to do her maths properly.

i found some interesting things in the centre. shall secretly take some photos and share with everyone soon! take cares pple! *huggies*
