wars...

Dream dream dream, dreammm… dream again!
It was KungFu Panda being the King of Jungle! King of Jungle should be Lion isn’t it? Hahaha! But I dreamt of 2 animal kingdoms. Panda Po reign in Kingdom A and Lion reign in Kingdom B. They were suppose to have a war. I am of course, on Panda Po’s side.

On the day of war itself, Panda Po was not seen!?!? (probably he was still sleeping, hahahahaha!) The Lion’s Kingdom is already well armored and ready to defeat us! A few of Panda Po’s warrior (which are my friends, but I do not remember who) was in panic! They were sort of shivering already. Then, I told them to trust Panda Po, he will definitely come! In fact, it is a fair war they are having here, they could not start without the leader there, or else they are considered cheating!

Soon, I saw Panda Po walking up some stairs? (How in the world there is staircase?) Then he came with a BIG sack! And Panda Po’s face is never fierce, and perhaps, never confident? He just don’t look like someone who is ready to fight in a war! =S Then he opens the BIG sack, it is fullll of sweets and chocolates (talking about Christmas eh?... or is it that he is too hungry to fight?) !

Then Panda Po wave his hand to the children at Lion’s Kingdom. And the children came, and Panda Po gave the sweets and chocolates to them. Each of them even have a present as a gift!

Wow! Santa Panda Po? Hahaha! I only remember until here. I don’t remember whether there is war or no war? But, I am guessing that there is no war. =)


Pls ppl, it is JUST another dream, again!
----------------------------------------------------
Now, about my exam war!

I have taken the exam on Foundations of Professional Practice. Sadly, the question that I dreamt did not come out (It’s just a dream!). However, if you ask me how did I do? I will tell you, that first time in my ECE life I have such difficult questions! Not only that, you are require to explain with illustrations (diagrams). And there are sooo much to write! Never have I wrote 14 pages before in an exam!

The exam’s duration is 2 hours, and I was so worried I did not have time to complete my essays. I was writing down so spontaneously, a little lack of planning this time, my points are quite scattered, and I have repeated points. =/ I wrote so quickly that I end only 6 minutes before exam end. I have time to check, but I did not make any changes, there were too much to change if I start correcting the mistakes.

I am so not confident for this paper?!?! Well, it’s past now, I could only submit this to God. Hopefully Ms. Doreen will not be so strict on this paper, else I could easily get B- or C! if I could get A for this paper, it is a miracle! =D

Hopefully Ms Doreen had her favourite Fried Kuey Teow, and that somebody would praise her that day so she have a good mood to mark our papers =P. Ok. I shall just focus on other exams now. =)

----------------------------
Congratulations to Matthew Tan who has survive through his SPM war!
and to Ee Laine and Charmain, strive on!

what? another dream?

i'm currently taking a break from my studies to blog about this. It is so weird why you can remember the details of dreams sometimes, and sometimes you knew you had a weird dream or a funny dream but you couldn't recall at all.

i'm having vivid dreams these fews days. stress? hahaha! don't think so. probably sleep too much! hahaha!

This is a dream regarding about an exam that i'm sitting for soon - Foundations Of Professional Practice.

All of us ECEs enter the hall, after Mr. Terry read to us the rules, Ms Doreen gave us 5 minutes to read through the questions. I could heard many of them gasping as they see the question, i am too. When Ms. Doreen announce that we could start, all of us just took up our stationaries and try to answer it.

I, normally will answer with pencil in point form on the question paper. Then i will evaluate it on the answer paper. I was stuck at a the essay question, in fact, many of us were stuck.

The question:
You have just opened your own kindergarten, and the kindergarten's theme is 5E. Explain in your essay, what 5E stands for and how you would use it to convince parents to enroll their children in your kindergarten.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
try to think of the answers!
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I was taking a long time to think what 5E stands for. =/
Then, i use my pencil to jot down the points.
- Effective & Affective Teacher
- Efficient teaching methods
- Environment - child friendly & positive
- Experiential Learning
- Expressing Ideas & Creativity

Then I woke up.

It's so funny how I can clearly remember that question and the answers I've written down in my dream? Will it come out in exam? HAHAHA! Oh well..

Please ppl, it's just another dream.

stop dreaming rachel, go and study, you sluggard!

it's just a dream

i just woke up from my looong nap, and i have a looong dream to share.

It was a wonderful day, probably it isn’t raining? (but, my dream doesn’t show what the weather is like actually). Anyway, the dream starts with..

My school friends decided to go to a shopping complex with me (either Midvalley, Pyramid, or 1 Utama? Not sure at this point.) Somehow, I have asked him to come along. During lunch time, all of us went to a restaurant, it was filled with peoples! In the restaurant was left with 2 tables, 1 of it could only fit 6 (or paksa abit, can fit 7), another one could fit 4 (it’s outside of the restaurant), but there are altogether 8 of us. So, my friends went and sat at the table for 6, he and I went and sat at the table for 4.

We ordered our food. He felt bad? He asked me to go and sit with my friends. There weren’t enough chairs, so, I actually squeeze on the sofa chair with them. But then my friends look out and saw that he was so alone, and they ask why aren’t I outside with him? I told them that it is him who asked me to come inside. Later, I too felt that I should be sitting outside with him. It isn’t good to ask someone to come, and leave them alone outside. So, I went out, holding my plate and glass. Then, I saw some of the youth members with him. I do not know where they come from? But, they were with him. So, I thought, I should go back to my friends. But somehow before I even make it to my friends’ table, I heard my friends talking something about me that I do not feel good with. Then I saw that there is an empty table there. Being a loner sometimes, I just sat there.

Soon, another guy (Indian) came into the restaurant. There isn’t any place, so the guy ask if he could sit beside me. I allowed. We just ate and no communications. Then I saw the youth members going in the restaurant to pay for the food. They pass by my table, but I purposely look down and my hair covered my face. Maybe I was really hurt and I do not want any attention that time. They just walk passed me without realizing. Even him. But I do not know why? He came out from inside suddenly, and tap on the guy’s shoulder beside me. I was still looking down (as if he couldn’t see me). He talked to the guy!?!? And through their conversation, they are school friends! Then he told the guy, “That is Rachel.” Pointing to me. The guy did not ask much why am I not with him? Or why am I sitting alone? He just say hi to me. And he introduced himself as Stevani. That time, Stevani already finish his food, so he went and pay. My friends also finish eating, when they pay, they saw that he is with me, so they also did not ask where I went. He in the same time knew something is not right, but he did not ask of it. Probably he knew that I would not tell, or I would tell if I want.

I think we had movie tickets, so we were actually rushing for the show. He ask me to pay for my food with my friends. There was actually a long queue. I guess that is also why he did not go and line up to pay for his meal with the youth members. That time when I am in the queue, the youth members already done paying. One of the youth girl stayed back to accompany him. After paying, I followed my friends out. He was still lining up to pay for his meals. He asked me to go with my friends, he would join the youth. So, I went with my friends.

Don’t know how it happens? But, one of my friend started talking on something? And we sort of argue over it. That friend of mine said something not so respectful and gave me a hard stare, angry. My heart was as though pierced with knives, many knives. Never in my life, my friend would stare at me, so angrily. The other friends of mine pulled that friend away, and ask me not to follow until that friend cooled down. But, I told them it is ok, I was also already tired. So I went back to him.

When I reach that restaurant, he is just paying for his food. He was rather surprise to see me there. I told him that I want to go home because I am tired, then I looked away. I was obviously crying already. The youth girl that stayed to accompany him tries to see what is happening to me, but I turned away from her too. I guess she knew that I was crying? She nudge him. He hold me by my arm out from the restaurant. Then he say, “ok, let’s go home.” While going up the escalator to the car park (oh! It’s pyramid’s escalator! So we were all the while in Pyramid.)… so while going up the escalator to the car park, I just hold his arms and cry into his sleeves (he was wearing long sleeve- formal shirt)

He did not ask me anything, he just let me cry into his sleeves. The youth girl followed behind in silence. She did not say anything too. It was a saaaad scene all the way to the ticket machine and to his car.

I do not remember what happen in the car? But, when I was down from his car, I was holding a ring box!?!? (hahahahahaha!) I remember Charmain was waiting for me at the door, so she opened the auto-gate for me. And she saw me happily smiling going in the house.

As typical sisters, we are always curious of each other's things, she followed me upstairs. In my room, I open the ring box. It is some toy ring that I have to fix! It was realllly cute!
Charmain said, “What??? I thought real ring!”.
“Don’t crazy lah you!”
I told her, “He told me he buy from the Disney shop.”

Charmain was like =.=!! I was just happily laughing over there!
HAHAHAHAH!

Please ppl, it's just a dream =)

the reason i smile

holiday programmes end today,
i leave my work officially today.
aih, i don't know what to say larh.

in a way, i am happy because i am now free from stress!
but, they are really like my family also lar actually.

we bid goodbye with lots of "thank you" and "all the best"
i feel like sending them a card.
i'll do it after exam =)

then, the children went home after their field trip to the petting zoo.
they had no idea i am leaving them.
but their parents (or at least some of them) knew about it because i told them to prepare their children for a new teacher next year.

however, a sad scene of the day is quickly taken over by a little surprise by my mummy and the maid.
they must be having a hard day clearing my books, it's all stack up one side now.
will arrange it all back nicely into the small cupboard i have after exam.

so, take a look!

my single bed on top of karjie's queen side bed =D

i can sleep either side of the bed,
i don't even have to worry what will happen if i have a bad dream and roll down the bed!
ahahaha!

but, i don't usually take up much space while sleeping.
and this is.. charmain's bed beside me.
her bed will never have any changes!
because her's is a new bed!
i am the only one having old bed =D
now you see?
i can take down the two mattress anytime i want.
my room can easily facilitate to home loners.
and, it could accomodate up to maximum of 7 girls (only!)

best of all, you do not need to pay me anything =D
just say thank you to my parents can already!
ahahahaha!

so, Ya-Qi?
you are right that my room have ample space =P
the advantages of having the master bedroom =D

i guess that also means that guest will be sleeping in my room next time.
hahaha!

Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of me can drive you wild
i make you smile???
Uncle Kracker -Smile *edited*

that is why i am still happy

these 2 weeks of holiday programme makes me feel so happy and yet also so sad.
Happy because i just love being around the children, teaching them, making them enjoy every lesson.
Sad because, it is suppose to be holidays!
and i am still asked to do so many things, and all things are so last minute!

anyway, tomorrow is my last day.
i was very happy at first, i thought i could spend my last day with the children going to Sunway's Petting Zoo!
but no, today i was told that i will be staying in the centre in case of enquiries!
no no no no no!!! ='(
but since i will stay back at kindergarten,
i will just think positively =D
at least i can bring along my notes to study there since no one will be there to disturb me. =D

but, i am still sad larh! =(
i will miss my children a lot a lot!
i am still missing my CEC children a lot a lot!
those who i taught that year will be 7 next year already!
i wish them all the best through my prayers..

my 2, 3 and 4 year old children whom i teach in Eden,
really help me learn so much about young children,
being with children are so happy and lovely experiences!
the children will surely remember me for awhile.
but when they get use to the new teacher,
they would forget me already.

that is so selfish of me again!
but for the happiness of the children, they should forget me =)

But, i think i will go back once awhile to visit them again!
i hope i have time.
HAHAHAHA!
--------------------------------------

promises that are kept is so beautiful,
especially when they are kept over a long period of time,
andthey are always practiced.
i'm going to trust that promise from now on,
and i'll prove my promise in my time.
please, keep your promise and wait for me to fulfill my promise =)

that is why, i am still happy no matter what happens now.
because i trust in that promise=)
