The Story Of The face

Once upon a time , I was asked this question , infact over the years many have asked me this question . The question came form a five year old little girl . This was what she asked me , "What happen to your face ?" Well I could have explained to her all of the details , but she was just five years old and here I was trying to think of a way to tell her what happen to my face . I actually wanted to tell her to come back to me when she turns thirty !! But then again , I felt that I ought to tell her . So this was what I told her .
One day up in heaven , God asked me what kind of face would I like to have . So I told God that I wanted to look just right and pretty . Fine He said and it shall be done . During that time , there were many babies being born , so we all had to be patient and wait for our turn. When it was time for us to meet our parents on earth , He would call us and bring us to a special room . In that special room , is where He made us . It's a face, hands and limbs 101 kinda room . A room that Jesicca Alba would love to have !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was so busy that day , and He was in and out of that room . Babies were going out of the tunnel by the minute . I was excited as it will soon be my turn to get my face and meet my new parents on earth . The next day I asked God if he had prepared the face that I wanted to have . He told me to be patient because these things takes time and it's a work of art . Okay , if I have to wait I will wait . But you see, most of my friends have gone down to meet their parents and I was getting impatient . I went to see God the next day and He told me to be patient again . I just can't ,I told Him .
He took me and sat me down onto his lap . With a gentle voice He told me that I was going down to meet my parents . I was so excited , I could not sleep that night . He knows that I was quite impatient so He reminded me not to enter The Room . I was called to Him the next day and He told me that ,today, being a wonderful day , He would be in The Room to create the face that I wanted .
While He was busy creating my face , there was a red alert in heaven . One of the angels had a broken wing and needed her wing to be patched up immediately because she was in the midst of saving a little boy . I saw how chaotic everything was and took matters into my own hands for I entered The Room , and wanted to create my own face . Something that I was not allowed to do . I mixed a little bit of this and that . I poured stuff and mixed it up again . It did not go on too well for there was a loud explosion in The Room and I was left with this face.
God was not angry with me , he forgave me and he understood my impatience for He had made me wait for so long . I am now left with this face , but I kinda like it . It makes me special . My face taught me how to be caring , humble and compassionate to others. I feel nice in my own skin , thanks to one above .

Jaq And The Surprise

I received a call yesterday from my friend Jaq . It was quite late and we were all getting ready for bed . As I answered the phone , she told me not to go to sleep just yet . It was late and why on earth was Jaq telling me not to go to bed ? I mean it's nearly eleven at night and I want to sleep !!! So okay, I asked her why again . She finally told me that she has a surprise for me . At this point I was thinking maybe a very cute chinese guy for the coming new year !!!!! Well ............ nope it wasn't that at all . Sigh............. ( better luck next time huh !!). She told me to go downstairs and wait patiently for her . I went and waited . From upstairs I could her dad asking me if I wanted some company and also if I needed my handphone . No to both questions by the way .
In two seconds flat my dad was already downstairs waiting together with me . I decided.... to call her( dad brought down my handphone ) . So I called her and made her tell me what was the surprise . After much digging she finally told me . This is what she said . " We went for a reunion dinner , and we booked two tables there's a lot of left overs and we did not want to waste it so ,I thought of you and now I am on my way to bring you the left overs . " Wow ! Sounds good eh ? So with open arms , I took the delicious food from her and thanked her and her beautiful family for thinking of us . For today ,our luch will be restaurant style except that the rice will be cooked by mum . I can't wait to chow down and taste those wonderful dishes . Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm !!! .
I am so thankful to all of my friends out there who are kind enough to share with us their humble offering . I find that in this world , we are lacking in this . Simple acts of kindness goes to show that there are those who are kind enough in this world and for that , I am truly blessed to have friends like all of you out there . Regardless of race and creed , and I say amen to that !

I Was Mad

I was mad , as mad as a hornet ,
They made me so mad that I could yell,
And yell was something that I could never do ,
For I was mad , as mad as a hornet.


I was mad , as mad as a hornet ,
For my homework was never done ,
I asked why and they said they were busy watching Ben 10 !
I was mad , as mad as a hornet .


I was mad , as mad as a hornet ,
Someone had stepped on a pinky finger
And that made her cry,
For I was mad , as mad as a hornet .


I was mad , as mad as a hornet,
All I wanted was some peace and quiet ,
Till someone said , " I Love You Teacher,
and then I wasn't mad as a hornet anymore !

I Made Two Boys Cry Today.............. and I Loved It !!!

I made two boys cry today in class and I could not understand why. All I asked was for a little time , just a bit of time as I was not feeling too well . I asked them to read their flash cards while I took a five minute break , that was all I asked for . It was alright for awhile . They were spelling and going on and on until I heard giggles coming from a group of boys . I told them to be quiet and ................. that did not work out . Their giggles soon turned into laughter . The laughter was okay . But it got out of hand . They started to move ........... in all directions and the whole class ended up making so much noise . I looked at my watch it was 11.15 am . Another five minutes I would dismiss the class but no,me and my big mouth got the better of me . Here's where the action begins...............
I told all of the girls to get their school bags and line up . There were nine boys . I told the class that these boys were not going home . They were pretty cool alright . I got to give them some credit here . So out of the nine boys ,I told two boys to go get their bags . I went on till there were three boys . I proudly said to the three boys that they were not going home and that ........ before I could finish my sentence, the waterworks started . Okay I had no heart to see them crying so i gave them an option , apologize or just don't go home . We had a happy ending . They stopped crying and apologized to their one and only beautiful teacher !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
In times like this , I feel sad to say thing like this to them but then again they leave me no choice at all . I mean , I warned them ( gently of course ) . Then I waited and gave them some time . But if all else fails then they leave me no choice . I have to do what I have to do . The great thing about these children are , no matter how angry you are with them or at times when you scold them , they do bounce back and they will approach you . Children are very forgiving towards their parents and teachers and for that I love working with them.

Mission Accomplised

Mission accomplished . Just the other day , I was thinking of ways to teach math to my students . I felt that I could go faster with my morning students however I really need to go slower with my afternoon students . I made a huge mistake last year . Thinking that they were ready , I gave them some excersises to do but boy I was wrong . It was a disaster , First of all I did not plan my lesson plan well . Without thinking , I took advantage of the situation and it went bust . This time I was prepared for the worst in fact . Don't get me wrong it was not all the bad .
Today , I asked them to complete four pages of math. You may think that four pages is a lot but frankly speaking more means good and it makes good practice as well . Don't you think so ? Well , as I began my lessons , I wrote down all of the equations on the board and thus my journey to mathematical thinking began............................. It was not bad as I began . At first they were shaky and a little noisy . Yup this happens each time I get them to begin their work . I went as slow as I could and as I went along , I got them to participate . Slowly , I could see that , they were beginning to understand the concept of addition . I went on to the next page . I began to encourage them , and moved on to the next page . By the time I reached the fourth page , three students out of thirteen , decided to attempt the equation on their own . I felt a little sad ......... only three but then again the students that I have with me are all from other kindergarten and some have never been to a kindergarten . It's not that bad and it's okay , I kept telling myself .
I am not too worried as I know eventually they will 'get it' and move onto the next level . It's just a matter of time and practice . I know what I need to do , that is to continue, to encourage them and make them believe that they can do it . It will be a long road ahead but I am prepared to work hard for them .

I Can Never Understand

I can never understand that you don't trust me at all,
I can never understand for all of the lame excuses that I give ,
I can never understand myself like how you seem to understand me,
Please do try , for I am telling the truth.

I can never understand how my dog ate my homework.,
I can never understand it at all , how you seem so nice towards others,
I can never understand when they do it it's okay and when I do it , it's not.
Look , look at me with your eyes and tell me , please don't just look at me and say nothing .

I can never understand friends who don't seem to understand me ,
I can never understand it when they add and get it right ,
I can never understand it when you don't seem to understand me,
Just tell me , be kind to me . That's all I ask of you.
