You know when I was a little girl and growing up , I never ta paued my homework ... Have you done it before ? I remember , if I was absent from school , I would go to school the next day and my teacher would give me the homework or class work that I missed ...
Nowadays , is so different .. I had a string of chilren , who were absent today , coming in to ta pau their homework .. and I was like , Yes , 'May I take your order please"? ...
They come right up to me and say , 'I need to see teacher so and so '... It's really cute to see them coming all the way from home just to get thier homework from school .
The mothers who accompanied their chilrend were also under pressure .. I heard one mother saying this to her child .
Mother : Oi , faster ah go and take your home work from teacher Audra ah '.
Child : Stared and the mother angrily .
MOther : Next week exam ah , you cannot cory ah ... must practice if not...
Alamak , I tell you these mothers are really under pressure la ... they are so afraid of the exams until some mothers even have nightmares !!!! As for me I just gelak because it's really funny to see them at times ....
But everything will be fine . just you wait and see ..
How have I grown and how I have steam rolled and paved the way with good intentions.... and still trying to

Nilly
This will be the first time that I use my students name for this post , If I don't, this post will not jadi .
If you come to my class for a visit , be sure to ask for Nilly . She is one cool kid . She loves to talk and express herself .She is my secretary and my right hand in class . She will try to out do everyone and even challenge the boys in my class . She is full of life and such a joy to be around with ..
I do not know what I'd do without her . Besides Nilly there are few more who try thier darmnest to win my affections . How do I do it ? I just love them all to bits . They are as good as the fish in the sea !!!
The joy that these group of children gives me , is so great and pure . You cannot find it anywhere else . The boys are great as well . With only five of them around , it may look like I have a hundered of them .
It's really nice going to work and at times ,I just can't wait to get into class so that I could be with them . I don't know how you feel but as a teacher , I like being around kids .
So as for Nilly , she does everything for me and she even wants to be THE ONE .I am hoping that they never grow up ... being adults are no fun at all !!!!!

Zombiefied 101 .... today
I felt like a zombie . I do not know how the others felt . I was just too lazy to teach but I did . I tried my best . My teachers were on MC . I was so sad tha they were sick and all . All I could think of was .. the bed ... the aircond .... my bantal peluk ....
... and also to be in my thread bare t - shirt .... oh , how nice it felt . The thought of it , made me feel like just telling the kids to pack and go home . The tiredness from the sports day was still hagling onto my shoulders . That's it I need rest . Maybe somewhere remote , by the pool sipping pinacoladas ..... how nice with the breeze hitting my face ..
However I was brought back to reality ... and .... I am in my class , oh , the noise . Yup my kids they are in thier element , NOISE ..... how they love to talk and just talk .
Now I am still feeling like a zombie and ... and .. I just wanna have fun ! Not fun , I just wanna crash !!!!!

Roll Over and play dead ?
So, should I just roll over and play dead ? I mean with sports over and all . I know , Iknow it's just a thought .So what does Superboy does on a Monday ? Why Superboy you ask ? The guy is just a side kick , and we only hear about the Man Of steele .
Or better still , what does Catwoman do for entertainment ? Wait .. Did someone just say she coughs out hairballs ? Then again , with such activities as this , should I just get all the kids to roll over and play dead ?
Mind ... sound or unsound how is that ? Okay I do not have the statistics for everything that I say . At the moment my mind is saying .. take another day off . Don't bother with everything and everyone .... just go ahead ... . Well that is not what a sound mind is .. So what has a sound mind has to do with rolling over and play dead ?
For the love of everyone I do not know anymore or need I say more ? Okay at this point I'll just shut up !!

the sports that never was
We had great fun but boy ,was I tired . Tired not because of the sports , tired of trying to get well .. It has been so long ... I was on Mc and I did not take it .. Instead I went to work , as always to show everyone what I am made of ... I wanted to show the whole world how committed I was to what I do ..everyday ...
No , it's not that .. at all . Never to show off for one . I went because most of my teachers were sick but the best part was I came home early .. I have an understanding Boss .
Okay back to the Sports day. For one the weather was a killjoy and the kids ended up crying .. I felt like crying too . But we forged on and pushed ourselves to the end . I would like to say that it ended okay . My poor teachers were so sick , some came and then left early to go home .. Poor thing ! We could not please everyone that day but we did and tried our best .
