Practicum 3.0 - Chinese New Year Celebration

After 3 week practicum, finally the long awaited break is coming.

It's Chinese New Year!!!

I had received so many things from the school due to this important festival.

There were two big meals that I had attended, two angpau I had received (one from lucky draw, one from PIBG) and one big box of mandarin orange.

I really feel thankful for the school because the teachers here never treat us like an outsider, but as one family. Whatever the teachers get, we teacher-trainees get too. I will never take thing for granted, I promise to work even harder and contribute more to the school.

So, there is this Chinese New Year celebration yesterday.

It was really grand event.

The loud, the applause, the cheers, the songs, the performances and so on.

Everything was great! Everybody enjoyed the event.

Even the headmistress who seemed to be serious danced and posed with the students too.

What a warm picture!

I am glad to join and contribute some shows.

Let's the photos tell.

 The headmistress was giving a speech.
There were some chun lian written by students.
Personally found the winners' writing weren't as nice as I supposed the winners to be.

 My first try in helping the students to make up.
Don't blame me arghhhhhh I felt scared too *giggle*

 The pretties.

 My dancers.

 With my 天天好天 dancers.
Actually I felt like reject the teacher's request to teach them because I found this was a tough task. But I accepted the task somehow. I found a lot of performance videos in YouTube. I mix and match them haha. Thankfully these girls really obedient and co-operate with me. They learnt things fast. And we successfully produce a show. Cheers!

With the 财神爷！
I was shocked and my jaw dropped when I first saw them. I couldn't even believe my eyes!
Coz they are the 大人物 BIG people in the school. I really respect them because they love their primary school so much that they donate and help the school. I hope I could be like them one day, contribute to the school too.

 Selfie with Miss Gui.

 With Miss Gui again.
She is the teacher who brought me to public speaking when I was in Standard 5 and 6. Though she never teach me before, we got sorta 革命情感 that couldn't break.

慈济大爱妈妈带活动。感恩。

 With 不老传说 pretty Miss Lim who taught me English when I was in Standard 3 or 4.

 With my guru pembimbing.
She is very gentle and her comments are all encouraging. Really learn a lot from her even only go through one time observation.

 With my 3A kids.

 With 2B kids.
The class monitor who stands in the middle is super duper cute! She is a good monitor who always help me to control her class.

Singing Ceria 喜洋洋, A malay new year song.
I love this song!!

With my teammates who perform with me on the stage. 

Puan Low in the middle taught me when I was in Year 3 too. She is still very pretty.

I don't know why but I could feel that my confidence boosts up when I am in the school.

I represented graduates to gave speech, I participated in a lot of competitions, I danced in many events. There were a lot of First time or good try during my primary.

But after my primary, I started to be quiet and shy. I am fat and nobody would ask me to perform anything on the stage. They don't even believe that I could dance or sing.

I feel useless. I feel passive.

But, after I am back to here, the teachers here gave me a lot of opportunities. 

They trust on me that I can teach a performance. They trust on me that I can sing. They trust on me and ask me to help them. 

And I dare to try. 

Because of their encouragement, I dare to try, to prove that I can complete whatever task they gave to me. 

I don't want to disappoint them.

 I don't want to let them feel like I am 小时了了，大未必佳。

That's why I work hard.

I promise to work hard and try my best afterwards.

CNY coming. 

A new year coming.

Goat year coming.

New year, Goat year, please be GOOD to me!

:)

Practicum 3.0 - 1st week is good.

Heyya,
so this gonna be my first post of February.
I found I rarely update my blog like I used to do last year.
I feel real sorry about it.
Life is too busy.
And whenever I'm free, I think of resting my mind.

Well, I had started my third practicum. The last one.
I have changed my prac-mate due to something this time.
A long story to tell. And I'm tired of repeating it.
Shi*t happened.
I'm thankful for the that sh*t because it gave me chances to see the true colours of lotsa my friends.
I'm thankful because somebody helped me out.
Without that somebody, I won't be able to work in my primary school now and staying at home during these 3 months.
Words can't describe how much I thank that somebody. TQ :)
So mind your mouth and stop trying to spoil our friendship if you've planned to do so.
Time proves everything.
I can't say how good I am if I am bad enough.
 And people will see how evil I'm if I am really one, even you never try to tell.
I strongly believe that time proves everything.
Like how it works on you.

Speaking of my practicum,,,
so far so good.
I'm thankful that the headmistress had changed the class for me.
I'm well prepared to take over the not-so-good class, but somehow she changed for me at last.
I was really over the moon when I get to know about this news, but after a second I was like...erm...stressful?
I scared I might disappoint the headmistress.
I scared I might spoil their result.
I scared I am not good enough and not so qualified to teach them.
Alright, I just gotta stop all my negative thinking and gonna work harder.
I believe I can be a good teacher!! :D
To be a good teacher of smart kids, you gotta be smarter than them.
Thus, I think of a lot of high-ordered thinking questions that I could work on my smart kidsss.
I would like to train them to think more wisely and creative and also dare to speak out their mind in front of all.
So far so good, I think.
They are really smart and good students.
I find them love to learn something they don't know. Something new. Something fresh.
They love to take challenges.
When you set a target for them, they would be more active and pay you more attention in class.
I will try my very best to teach them!
I might be tired or my mind might get exhausted, but all hard work paid off when you see their sparkling eyes that crave for more new knowledge.
Their smile melt all your tiredness.

I am in a familiar surrounding, my darling primary school this time.
When I hear the school song in the assembly, I am so excited!
I followed and I sang.
I'm glad that I'm back to her.
Teachers treat me very good, keep asking how am I going and even prepared breakfast for me.
I feel fully energized when they concern about me everytime.
Thank you teachers. Every of you is the reason I choose this profession now. No jokes!
:)

The first week had ended.
I am glad that I am quite close with my practicum mate so far.
I am not as stressed out as I think I would be working with him.
There is less awkward working to him because he is as talkative as me. XD
I hope we could overcome every ups and downs together in the coming 11 weeks.

Buddha bless me.
In everything.
:)
