Hello 2010, Goodbye 2009...

Wow, it's the second day of 2010 already... I'm not really thrilled by the idea of new year actually, I'm no longer excited about growing up eversince I turned 25... Sob2 Y_Y

Anyway, I kind of sorting out my pics yesterday and I would love to share with you guys some of my fav 2009 moments which luckily preserved in all these pics... And yes, this pics might be slightly amateur-ish (a lot) since I'm the one who took it, but who cares, I love it nevertheless, hehhhe =P

This one is taken during the durian season at our kebun in Hulu Langat,
I don't eat durian actually but i don't want to miss all the fun, so when all of them eating durian, I'm busying around fancy myself a photographer instead, lalalala~

 

I took this pic during my visit to Aquaria, KLCC with my little sisters last May...
They still kept their hair long at that time, so kawaiii @_@...Too bad, I don't really
inherited my parents curly hair like both of them, sob2 T-T

This pic represent my girly nights with my bff week @ Marriot Bukit Bintang, it's so freaking awesome, I don't mind trading any of my shoes to re-live it, hehe ^_~

 

I heart this pic so much not because I won the Transformer's 2 Premiere tickets because of it, but it's really2 hilarious to actually asked them standing still for more than 5 seconds, I even go as far as bribing, hikhikhik n_n

This pic was taken at the outside gate of the Istana during our recent visit to Kedah, the guards is really2 mean, but we try our best to ignore him completely and continue doing silly poses just to infuriated him, hahahha =D

The last goodbye...

dancing in the day-light =D


walking skeletons =P


belle of the ball n_n


all the graduates.. ^_~


with Fiza =)

with Danish @_@

I missed my old job, i missed the way all the kids looking up to me, trusting me and adore me like I'm some kind of a godsend... But most of all, I missed the way people treat me and believe in my abilities... I'm freaking good at it, I know I do... Teaching and sharing knowledge has always been my passion since forever... I got as much excitement as hunting for the perfect shoes just by thinking of new activities for my students...I never got the chances to properly say my goodbye to all of them before, so when my previous boss send me the invitation to their graduation, I'm more than happy to oblige... I'm a little afraid of course, I'm afraid they won't remember me as well as I do remember them... But I need this, I need to feel alive like I used to feel before...

It's not that my current job is that bad, it's quite okay actually but I'm not used to people treat me like I'm nothing more than a mere girl whose existence may or may not affected them at all... I'm so used to feel needed and wanted at home or at work... I hate it when I didn't get enough respect as I should just because I happened to be in lower position than them... I hate it when my ideas and creativity wasn't welcome here... It almost get to the extent that I just gave up and acting just to get through the day... I can't be myself, my jubilant self, the real me that everyone knew... Omg, I just hate my job!!!

Anyway, back to the kids graduation, I feel happy to be part of them again eventhough it's for a short period only, they still recognize me but a little wary and reserved than they used to... It's not for long however, the second I start making my funny faces, they let all their guards down and I'm once again Teacher Ayna that they once knew...

I'm glad that little thing like this making my day felt so much better... I can't help feeling unnatural sense of awe and proud watching them dancing, singing and acting like there's no tomorrow... I'm a little sad when it's all over, but live goes on and I have no choice but to say my last goodbye... Y_Y sob2

Hit the road trip...

This post actually is long overdue. We were visiting Dinotrek, Petrosains like 2 weeks ago but as usual I haven't got enough time to sort out all my pictures... I'm more excited than most of the kids apparently as my last trip visiting Dinosaurs & The Gang was like 13 years ago, hehehhe =P And I haven't ride bus in years... So, it was a trip down the memory lane just like when I was back in high school... How I wish I could turn back the time, hehhehe =D

I personally preferred Dinotrek than Petrosains because I always have a fondness with cute Dinosaurs (Denver, Barney, etc ^_~) To make sure the kids won't be terrified, I have brainwashed them weeks before with Dinosaurs cartoons and movies, hehehhe ^_^ Now, they probably think Dinosaurs can talk and dance, (I'm so dead if their parents find out, hahaha =D)

Even though all of the teachers looked half dead at the end of the day, (I looked almost dead by the way, hehehe =P ), we were really having fun and enjoying every seconds of it... My favorite part??? Of course the bus ride... Singing along in the bus with the kids and looking at their thrilled and excited face, it's definitely worth the time and sweat ^_~

My over excited pose, hehhe =P


Teachers ready to blast off, huhuhu @_@


I'm trying desperately to convince one of the kids to visit the toilet first, heeehe ^_~


When is my turn eh??? Teacher wanna play too, hahha =D


Weeee, lets bring this bones to our cat at home, hehhehe =P


Just dance~ ^_~


Bring it on, Dinosaurs!!! @_@


My almost dead face, heehee ^_~

Love save the empty...

I'm finally myself again today thanks to all the kids that always makes my day shinier and brighter ^_^ So this post is actually a little tribute to all of them who never failed to amuse and entertain me... They can drive me to insanity sometimes but my day never lacks of drama and excitement... (I'm such a drama queen, hahhaha =D)

I teaches Science, English, Art and Music but my favorite moments always with the 4 yrs old Art class... They are so innocent and sweet, I have this crazy urge to protect them from the harsh reality of the world but at the same time I want to prepare them that life can't always be sugar, spice and everything nice... They have so much love to give, and I'm afraid that they'll get heartbroken if they are too trusting with people... (I'm being dramatic again, I know~ ^_^)

This is actually my attempt to persuade them to make a Teacher's Day card but we can only plan and hope, apparently they are more interested to draw ghosts and monsters today, hehhehe =D The Teacher's Day cake was gone by the way before I can snap some pics, sob2 T_T

The naughtiest of them all, hehehhe ^_~

Meet The Parents...

I've been asked several times why I never blogged about my job.... Half of the reason is because I'm lazy, hehehhe ^_^ and the other half is because I don't think there's anything glamorous about my work... People always thought my job is easy but to tell you the truth, it's so freaking hard... You need patience, passion and creativity to be a good kindergarten teacher... Not to forget the ability to endure high pitch voices and answering the same question over and over again... And if you're squeamish, this is not the right career for you...

The problem with parents is they always underestimated what we do... But I don't think they can last doing our job for more than 30 minutes... Mind you, we have to attend to more than 10 kids at the same time without raising our hands and voices... And we have to make sure the children understand what we teach and pay attention in the class... Children as we all knew have short attention span and in their current age (4-6 yrs old) are more tempted to play than learn...Kindergarten teacher is in another words are overwork, underpaid and under appreciate profession ever... Don't get me wrong, I do love what I do but sometimes I just wish parents will be more perceptive and didn't easily transferred all the blames to the teachers... We are not perfect, we are human too...

Being a kindergarten teacher also comes with a few good points too... You are working half day, you have lots of holiday (yeay!! ^_~), you are allowed to act like a kid (hehehhe ^_^), and also you will never be bored because they are always unpredictable and entertaining, heheheh @_@ (you are losing weight too because you spend most of the time chasing after them, hahahha =D)
