One a day

Recently I have been helping Auntie KY at the resource centre. As I was sorting the books, I chanced upon this very interesting book. It was a comics on soccer humor. I browsed thru it and had a good laugh in the very very quiet resource centre! So I specially selected some to scan and share with my PINKIE boy, since he loves soccer. 

Today as I was scanning the pages, I told myself that I should send 1 comics at a time. So there will be something that he can anticipate everyday. This will help to keep him away from the negative thoughts and redirect his attention on constructive things. So as I thought of this, I suddenly recalled something, or rather someone ...

Years ago, I have this male colleague which has lots of Forever Friends Bear pictures. Knowing that I'm a BIG fan of FFB, he sent me 1 picture a day and this last for around 1-2 mths. At that time, I didnt particularly like him and neither did he like me. Our relationship was just a little deeper than colleagues but not deep enough to be classify as good friends.

Now that I can still recall this after so many years, I still think it's a very sweet thing that one can offer to do for another person. Anyway, nothing much happen between us. All I can say is that fellow is a 高手 and I'm not stupid either! hahaha ... ! :D

Jokes of the year 2009

26 Nov was a very important day for all P6s cos it was the day to release PSLE results. While myself, mrs C (form teacher of my class) and mrs L were waiting in the conference room for the Big Shots to return with the results, L asked C & me if anyone in my class will fail Math. C mentioned 2 names, which I got a shock because I didnt anticipate any failures at all. And then C added that she anticipated 4 A* for Math, which I nearly fell from chair cos at most, there should only be 2 A*.

So when the Big Shots were back with the results, there was 1 A* and no failure for Math. It was really hilarious that being a form + Math teacher, her judgement was inaccurate! Anyway the highest was only 233. There were a few who did exceptionally well but overall speaking, it was lower than my expectation. The Foundation stream did very well this year.

So when everyone received their results, there were 3 meltdowns in my class. My dear form teacher wasnt aware of the meltdown. She was so busy going around, getting students to write greeting cards for hamper (another social enterprise proj in my sch)! Until I had to handle 2 boys and when they were calm enough to have lunch, I got to secretly call her to inform her. These 2 boys have history to commit suicide so she as a form teacher got to be aware of it.

So after I told her, she together with another theraptist, talked to the boys. I purposely left the boys with them. In less than 10 mins, they had finished talking. So I joined the boys at their workstation and one of them commented that, "why is C so concern about us today?"

I thought this statement is very classic. Even a child with autism can sense if a person is real or fake! I wouldnt say I'm a good teacher. But the last thing I want is my student to remember me as a fake person!

Recovering from a Broken Heart

Weeks ago I was praying very hard for my PINKIE boy. I even dreamt about the thing I prayed for. That dream had a positive outcome but reality bited us once again! I was very very dishearted. So dishearted that I didnt want to pray anymore.

I felt even worst when I knew my boy was so so so upset and started to self-hurt. As much as I wanted to help him, I didnt know how to cos I was feeling as upset and I didnt want to pass on those negative effects to him.

But God is good! As I started to stop praying, my boy kept throwing me new prayer requests. And thru out this period, I was closely watched over by my dearest mentor, Auntie KY. She has such POWERFUL eyes that are able to detach my emotional problems, even though I "die die also never spell a single word about it"! Haha ... :D

While I'm trying to cope with the disappointment, my mind is very occupied with the problems I can foresee for 2 of my boys (D & J). Since I can't be with them forever, I have to learn to detach! Although there are more to be done, I have done more than sufficient.

I need to quickly recover from my broken heart. Be recharge and ready for the new challenges ahead of me!
