IN The Classroom

I am about to tell you about my two drama queens . Maybe you will like this story anyway I will leave it to you to decide . Please allow me to tell tell you a little bit about them . DS the ever loving one and IB the other queen . They both have beautiful eyes and smile but you must beware if you should come accross this two, please be very carefull ( highly dangerous ) . I'll tell you why . IB is very good at telling tales .
Here's why . One day , my principal asked IB how was her mother . She calmly replied that her mother had met with an accident and died . My principal was shocked to hear the news however sensing that something was amiss , my principal called up IB's dad and told him what IB said to her . He laughed his heart out . He told my principal that IB is a drama queen and she is good at making up stories . Well when I joined the school this year , I have been warned by everyone about her but that wasn't good enough for I had another drama queen in the class . They became very firm friends , rode in the same bus , went to the same day care center and did everything together .
So as the BOSS it was my duty to separate the two but no matter how hard I tried ,they would always find a way to speak to each other . One fine day DS ( yup the other drama queen ) asked me if I would like to have children like them . I was not surprised by this question . But before I could give her my answer , IB said that of course I wouln't want children like them because ... according to her and aptly put "We are driving her up the wall as it is "!
So I do have my fun days with them and this is the reason why I started to blog because stories in the classrom are hard to come by . I really would like to add their photographs into my blog , but sadly enough I don't own a digital camera and santa If you're reading this please do send a digital camera to me for this Christmas !!!!!

A Quiet Day

Today , I went to work just five minutes late and as I was getting out of my car , I noticed that *NF was staring at me . Normally when she arrives to school I will be there to welcome her . Today is a different day as I mentioned earlier , the concert is over so a few of my friends and me are just taking it easy . No more practices so ... its a quiet day .
As the children started to gather in the hall , the noises started to increase each to their own activity . I looked around , and I know that I will miss the whole bunch very soon . We have about two weeks of school and then it will be a long break . It was time to get into the class and everything seemed normal ,until .... *TR approached me and told me that *NA is crying .... hmmmmm . I asked her why and she said *NF does not want to be friends with her . To tell you the truth , they are so innocent and straight away I knew that I had to settle this 'thing' . I got the girls to be friends again but they were not happy . You should see the look on their faces !!!!! So with that aside , I began my class by singing some songs ... and *TST said she wanted to sing songs that are more challenging to her . She boasted and said that Twinkle , Twinlke Little Star are for babies ..... okay !!!
So I asked *TST what she wanted to sing . She said 'Que Sera Sera' . Here we go again . We just performed that song for the concert but no she had to have her way !!! As we sang , I noticed that a group of boys in class were quite reluctant . You can say whatever that you wanted to but a NO means NO.
Having finished the song , *TR said that his mother complained that she could not buy his art work for charity and where was the artwork ? Well according to my sources *TR's art work had slipped out of the box while one of the teacher was carrying it . Luck was on my side , a friend found the art work and returned it to me . There ! Now his mum can't complain much can she ?
With all the syllbus completed , the students were quite free so I gave each of them a piece of paper and I told them to draw something that they like . At the corner of the classroom , I could hear my drama queen *DS go boringggggggggggggggg !!!!! I gave a sigh . See what I have to go through !!! Anyway I managed to coax her and she was willing to do it . Please don't ask me what I told her . Before sending them off , I thought them a farewell song . As I thought them the song I felt like I was about to cry because its a going away kinda song and I know that I will miss them very much but as sad as I feel I really hope that they will all do their very best .
So here are the lyrics to the farewell song . Some of you may know it too .
Sayonara , sayonara,
Sampai berjumpa lagi (2x )
Buat apa susah ( 2x )
Susah itu tiada gunanya.
Buat apa susah ( 2x )
Susah itu tiada gunanya.
Jangan lupa itu 'don't forget' .
Ingat - ingat itu 'remember' .
Saya sayang kamu ' I love you '
hanya kau ,'only you'
