Your To Do List before stepping into Taska Oranges and Lemon

1. Prepare yourself mentally and physically for the presents the children will give you in their pampers =D they come in all shapes and sizes and texture.. hehe..

2. Wash your mouth and brain with clorox to rid all dirty words..

imagine what would happen if your tongue slipped..

3. Make sure you do what you preach eg. if you tell the children to cover their mouth when they cough, make sure you do or not they’ll remind you.. haha..

4. Most importantly, open your heart to love and be loved cos thats what teaching children is all about..

Have FUN!! I know you’ll do great with the kids.. make sure you make them miss you!! haha..

p/s bring your Milo-flavoured stethoscope and it’ll be a hit amongst the children..

-FLASHBACK-

the other day i went back to visit the children.. then the bigger ones was like “there she is!!”

then all came crowding around me asking me where’s my stethoscope..

so i promised to bring it again the next time i visit.. and they were still crowded around me.. looking at me like they haven’t seen me before and i’m some strange goob that just fell from the ceiling.. haha..

so i asked them with mock defensiveness “why you all looking at me like that??”

then one cute boy said “cos we like you”

seriously i was speechless.. those simple words from a 4 year old meant so much to me..

so i said “hug??” (pathetic, i know)

then i had a group hug from all the kids.. hehe.. priceless i tell you..

when i walked into the kitchen for a visit.. the children were having their lunch.. when i came in.. they all stopped eating and looked at me.. one girl handed me her bowl to be fed which throughout the 10 minutes i fed her she looked at me continuously..

and one shy boy who would never come to me before (stranger anxiety) came up to me, leaving his bowl of porridge and teacher feeding him behind.. looked at me and let me sayang him before continuing his meal.. haha.. so adorable..

ah.. ok.. enough rambling.. guess i miss them too much!! going back tomorrow.. hehe.. can’t wait..

last but not least, the teachers are very supportive.. teaching me lots about how to handle kids..

i remember the principle telling me on my first day NOT to let the kids bully me.. but i guessed i failed in that.. haha cos i give in to easily.. aih..

and i also got to know that my Godma is a very firm lady.. *shaking* but thanks Godma.. cos if you hadn’t suggested me going to taska as my elective, i would have missed out on so much!! btw, sorry for all the grammar mistakes.. haha.. my Godma is english teacher also.. power woman!!)

so to all the teachers.. its nice working with you all.. it was a real eye-opener and memorable experience.. thanks for everything
