Good Afternoon Class! You Can Call Me Mr. Chiam!

HAHAHA was really happy when Compassvale Primary called me today afternoon! F.I.N.A.L.L.Y I get to do something!

Thank God for this opportunity to experience and learn! So my first lesson started off with "Good afternoon class! You can call me Mr. Chiam!". Then i committed my first mistake, i was told not to smile (that's like calling me not to breathe!). Argh, i just can't help it, it's such an integral part of me man. But i quickly see why the advice tho. The students became really hard to control and the dreaded question quickly arise, "Why you always smiling?". Ha thankfully that lasted only 20 minutes. So lesson learnt, dont smile so much!

Next was english which was easy because they had work to do, followed by canteen duties for 2 recesses. Mmm the food looks tasty but it looks as if i could slurp everything up in one go! And next up was P.E! It was plain scary man with kids crying, misbehaving and complaining. =0 So i had to coax, comfort and s-cream (x_x). Aww man and i thought i wouldnt need to shout and stuff which reminds me of my NCC days. Oh well...

All in all, it was quite a tiring affair but rewarding nevertheless. Every child is a gift from Above and every single one of them is gifted in different ways! Thank God for teachers, the imparters of knowledge and to be able to take part in the nurturing process of a child is truly a privilege! Mmm would i really be one next time?

p.s. haha i feel like i'm all over the place. prolly too tired and under the aftermath of migraine over the past few days.
