kiddy career

Tried the Florider at Sentosa last Saturday.


Although I was wearing my swimming trunks plus army shorts, the waves still managed to push me to the top, with my butt crack showing out... haha. Lucky that nobody seemed to notice :p

Anyway, I got on the fake waves for around 7 times for $35... :s

Yay :o A kind of a break from school... :p I will be heading to NUS for the next two days, for a program to equip us contract teachers with basic teaching skills. I sure hope that we can pick up some skills to better handle the students that we have.

What I have learnt from my 8 days of teaching:

• Just when you think you know how to handle the stress, something else will happen to make you think again.
• It is important to know the names of the students that you are teaching. So that you do not have to waste time to go to that kid's table/position.
• It is very very important, to know what kind of rewards the kids like and what kind of punishments the kids hate the most.
• It is useful and helpful to engage the interest of the kids that you are teaching. And as kids lose interest easily, you must keep thinking of new ideas, so that they will pay attention to you.
• Kids are kids. They like to play, make noise, complain about each other and get attention. They are not adults, a fact which most people tends to forget when they deal with the kids.
