time seems to fly with the blink of an eye...

today is the last day of January 2008, that marks a month that i have been officially teaching in Chiltern House.

looking back, it has been an eventful and productive month, most of my litle children have settled and grown attached to me. ;)

It didn't start out easy initially. Was faced with so many challenges.

To start with, i had cultural shock on the 1st day of school, 3rd January. I have never had so many adults in a class all @ one go. I think had more adults than children in the class on that day! As though that was not bad enough, i had a couple of parents with cameras. So... i see flash here, there and everywhere. Well, i understand, it's the first time their child attends a formal school.

THEN, i had parents commenting that i'm am so young.

Honestly, i was so lost that i don't know what to ask Daddy God for... all i did was to ask for favor and more of it each day... and the rest is history...

all i can say is that, it was indeed all by the grace of God... that i am a blessing wherever i go!

i am looking forward to the many more months ahead... cheers!

i found this on my left thigh while applying moisturizer late last night...

then i recalled...

Brayden: Sheryl, I want go toilet.

Sheryl: Alright! Let's go.

Sheryl: Amanda, i'll be back soon! You stay with laoshi.

Amanda: No! I want Sheryl to sit with me...

Brayden held my left hand and Amanda held my right hand.

Both began to pull me against opposite directions...

Brayden wants me to bring him to the toilet, Amanda wants me to stay in class with her.

......

then, i hit my left thigh against the door while trying to escape out the class...
