shut up simon, stop talking already.today was fun!
played
Simon Says with the kids during the last period and made them do ridiculously funny actions. they were SO CUTE. :D
one boy asked me if i could be his sister!
and here's a funny conversation with one of the little girls:
little girl: " Miss Ng! i like you SO MUCH! How i wish you were my mother!"
Miss Ng i.e. me: "erm i like you too but i cant be your mother."
little girl:
" Miss Ng can i call you Mummy?!!"
Miss Ng i.e. me: "
omg NO YOU CANNOT. i will not answer you if you call me Mummy!"
little girl:
"i dont care i want to call you Mummy! Hi mummy!! HELLO MUMMY!!! [:"
Miss Ng i.e. me: " OHMYGOD."after which was tuition and i played Simon Says
(again) with my tuttee.
i think i had enough of Simon Says for a very long while.
who the hell is Simon anyway?
it's like me inventing a game called
Melanie Says and the rules are that you have to do whatever Melanie says or you lose. that's like darn ego can! (very random, i know. but i just realised [:)

Cultural Cow Nuances ( NU! NIU!)
TRADITIONAL CORPORATION
You have two cows.
You sell one and buy a bull.
Your herd multiplies and the economy grows.
You sell them and retire on the income.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You sell one and force the other to produce the milk of four cows.
You are surprised when the cow drops dead.
A FRENCH CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You go on strike because you want three cows.
A JAPANESE CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow
and produce twenty times the milk.
You then create clever cow cartoon images called 'Cowkimon'
and market them World-Wide.
A GERMAN CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You re-engineer them so they live for 100 years, eat once a month,
and milk themselves.
A BRITISH CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
Both are mad.
A SWISS CORPORATION
You have 5,000 cows and none of which belong to you.
You charge others for storing them.
A CHINESE CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You have 300 people milking them.
You add water and melamine to increase the milk.
You claim full employment and high bovine productivity.
AN INDIAN CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You worship them.
A MALAYSIAN CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
You signed a 40-year contract to supply milk at RM0.06 per litre.
Then midway through, you raised the price to RM0..60 or you cut the supply.
When the buyer agrees to the new price, you change your mind again and now want RM1.20.
The buyer decided you can keep the milk and they go look for milk that comes from recycled cows or the cow urine instead.
Your two cows retire together with the Prime Minister.
And last but not least,
A SINGAPOREAN CORPORATIONYou have two cows.
One cow-peh and one cow-bu.

Total Defence.we commemorated
Total Defence Day today coz it falls on a Sunday this year.
so the kids were listening to a talk in the hall & at the end of the talk, the teacher said, "The canteen will be selling wartime food today like plain porridge, plain noodles, plain bread, biscuits, & rice with vegetables.."
and there was a chorus of
HUH?!s and
OMG!!s from the kids. haha how typical.
(i hurriedly had my break before their recess. yup teachers get non-wartime food if the kids dont see us eating [:)
anyway, when we went back to class, they had to do a worksheet and one of the questions went like this:
What do you need in your home in times of emergency?
(a) a portable radio (which is the answer)
(b) video games
(c) a massage chair 10% of the kids chose (a), 10% chose (c) (a massage chair? REALLY?), AND 80% chose (b). seriously, if Singapore ever goes to war,
WE WILL ALL DIE.
side note: can someone nice and kind please tell me the lyrics for the
mandarin version of
Twinkle Twinkle Little Star??
coz i taught my k2 tuttee the
Lao Hu song (you know, the one bout one of them not having eyes & another not having a nose?) , and i started teaching her
Twinkle Twinkle coz it was the only other one i could remember.
and i realised i only know
"yi shan yi shan liang jing jing"yup. so i told her that the next line is quite difficult so i'll teach her next week. haha
so HELP ME PLEASE I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER. [:

kids and puberty.had lunch with
celest the tard just now. we waited ONE HOUR for the bus and then decided that we didn't want to take the bus after all. very smart. [:
taught Health Ed today.
it was about
puberty. ohmygod. haha the kids were super ticklish & squeamish man.
any mention of the words "breasts", "pubic" or "penis" would send them into fits of giggles & shrieks.
they'd go,
"Eeeeeee!!!! so disgusting!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!"
haha it was very amusing. and extremely difficult to teach.
i had to say things like," stop screaming. it's very normal. your parents & elder siblings go through it too!" & they'd go,
"EEEEWWW. YUCKS!" or something along that line. haha. time to grow up kiddos.
anyway, one of the PE teachers were absent the other day & i had to take over his PE classes.
since i was neither certified nor dressed to teach PE, i told the kids to take out a piece of paper and on the board i drew:
and told them to draw Mr Teng (the PE teacher)/ write him a Get Well Soon card, and to write down their name & class (3 Pearl) on the bottom of their drawing.
the kids had fun drawing so i thought i'd repeat it for the next class i was teaching which was 3 Opal.
so i went into the classroom beside 3 Pearl (coz the map of the school showed that 3 Opal was beside 3 Pearl) & just before i stepped in, i glanced briefly at the sign above the door & it said, " 3 O-something" so i thought, "okay this must be the right class."
and i repeated my instructions & told them to draw Mr Teng and they asked, "Who's Mr Teng??"
haha and i was like, "YOUR PE TEACHER LA!" and they said their PE teacher was Mr Tan.
then i thought that i was supposed to take over Mr Tan's lessons as well so i said," okay then draw Mr Tan! And at the bottom of your drawing, write your name, & write 3 Opal."
AND THEN THEY SAID," HUH? BUT WE ARE NOT 3 OPAL!"
hahaha omg then it was like:
me: "HUH?? OMG THEN WHO ARE YOU??"
them: "WE ARE 3 ONYX!"
me: "HUH THEN WHERE IS 3 OPAL??!"
them: "THE OTHER SIDE!"
me: "OH MY GOD!!!"
*runs out to see the sign above the door* (yes it said extremely clearly, 3 Onyx)
me: "oh no omg i'm so sorry kids i'm in the wrong class!"
them: *burst into laughter* very. very. loud. laughter :(
then one of them said, " anyway, now isn't even PE.."
and i was like, "GEE THANKS MAN. NOW THEN YOU TELL ME -.-"
and i hurriedly said, "okay okay i need to go to 3 Opal now. bye bye."
and they started laughing again. so mean okay. :(
anyway, i told the kids that they could also draw anything else they wanted to draw & some of the kids drew me! haha here are some of the drawings:
done by the girls [:
and these were done by the boys. so cute right. :D
initially Ivan drew me as a stick woman & i asked him, " Ivan, where are my clothes??"
and he giggled & drew me a triangle for a skirt.
nevermind that my skirt's kinda transparent. at least i have a skirt now.
