i love aaron pan
meanwhile, i'm missing my pancake... :(
can't remember what this place was called.. but i just remember it being a friggin' sunny day in london. so sunny i was tanning my toes while my pancake was getting a drink. don't we look so good together?? and all the people said, "awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww" i can't wait till you get your ass down here come september the 9th!!! yipppeeeeeeeeeeeee! we'll paint the town RED.
relief teaching today was, for the first time, at boon lay gardens primary school. pri 2 kids! they're the cutest! there was this malay girl who was sooo pretty, with the most biggest black eyes and the coolest hair! her parents sell nasi-something at the nearby hawker center. she didn't have enough money for reccess, but she was hungry, so i bought her a packet of milo and let her drink it in class. aren't i a cool teacher? anyway, the first thing she did when i entered the classroom was give me this card with the words "to my greatest teacher" on it.
me: why did you give me this?
malay girl: it's for you.
me: (confused) but why?
malay girl: i bought a lot for teacher's day.
hahaha. a very endearing case of when it's the thought that counts! she's officially my favourite student of allll! at the end of the day, she was even quite sad when i told her i might not be taking her class the next day and and and! she even threatened her classmate who said he didn't like me. standing up for me??!!! my heroin!!
and then there was this cute wee chinese-malay girl who was plumb and with newly-acquired adult 2 front teeth who was so bent on going to the water cooler... she made me smile at her persistence.
chinese-malay girl: teacher, can i go to the water cooler please?
me: (pointing to her blue water bottle that was 25% full)but your water bottle still has water in it! no! sit down!
1 minute later, she returns with an empty water bottle and a wet mouth...
chinese-malay girl: ok, i finish aredi! can i go to the water cooler now please?
seriously take my hats off to teachers.... never experienced the feeling of loving and hating the same kids, and wanting to scold and laugh at them at the same time... hahaha.. kids.
anyways, it's official! the girlies and i are going to hk this december!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! just recalled that we've been to sarawak together on that geography trip and it was sooooooooo fun! well, hongkong will be 10 times that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but hong kong excitement will have to wait, cos i'll be to hainan dao this weekend with my fummylee! i'll be leaving on the 27th and back on the 1st! but i'll still be contactible on my mobile. haha. half expecting to see female kleptomaniacs ruling over their husbands, lots of kampung chicken chased by village boys, lots of sandy shores and palm trees and all the time in the world to reeeeellllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaxxxx....
