My holiday seemed to be quite packed, engaging myself with tonnes and tonnes of activities. 8 days drama camp, science focus, CIP, family chalet, 4five chalet, family chalet, overseas trip, studying sessions and mb a new job? CIP (coaching little children at kovan's student care centre) last fri was great. Except for the incident which i mistook a girl whom i coach as a boy. Sorry Emily. Argh so paiseh.
The incident goes like this la, there was another girl who called out to me and said "Can you call that girl?" i scanned around my area. "which one?" thinking where got girl around me. the little girl pointed to Emily. Then i said "Huh? He is a boy what?" Fortunately Emily dint hear. if not she will be heartbroken. then i saw her paper, the name written there was emily. that time i was thinking got guy call emily one meh? After the whole session Alice corrected me. then did i realised that the whole session is was actually coaching a girl. hehe abit slow hor? no wonder the other boy beside her was teasing her about her hairstyle and she said her mother cut her hair in this way. ok, everything make sense now.
oh ya, and another incident where i was kinda fed up because Emily and another boy was "fighting" to be taught first. i tried to be fair la. try all sort of ways, scissors paper stone, who wins who get to be taught first, first come first serve basis and trying to explain that i cant split myself into two, threatening them that i dun want to teach already. but sadly always to no avail. One will just cover the other's paper and said "No! Cher, you teach me first." They are so KS, but damn cute la.
Dunno if i will be able to go for the last session next week. mum not please with me going out and returning so late. but i have to say i enjoy teaching those little children. it is really a challenge to keep them discipline to complete their own work because they tend to be overdependent for answers. some have the hack care attitude because they will be allowed to play only after they finished their work. it is also good training for me to portray a sense of authority, bec i am too soft hearted at times already.
