i feel like a school kid again

oh man, i'm so sorry for not being able to update recently because (in the words of my manager), it has been a mad and sickly week!

there was almost a programme every other day and it was really crazy. i felt like a school kids again, having to wake up at 5-6am every morning, only crazier because the schools i have to go to are no where near my home!

but i guess it's a fun job. i have met a lot of school children already and there are all sorts -- from the super guai, to the super jump-around-even-though-i've-broken-both-legs kind, and to the i-want-you-to-notice-me-so-i-shall-repeatedly-ask-questions-at-every-chance-i-get kind and last but not least the i-like-talking-nose-to-nose-with-you-especially-when-i'm-sweaty.

yeah i kid you not on the last one. there was this one kid from the lower spectrum who insists on talking with his nose pressing against mine. gao suggested i should wear sharp pencils on my chest so that i can stab him when he comes near.

but though my plan is to get to know more of them, and hopefully share with them about God in time, there are really some pupils which i can't seem to get a response out of.

any idea what i could do to get them to participate? i feel so bad as if i wasted their afternoon and bored them to death.

overall, i still enjoy this job quite a lot. the paperwork and lesson preparation is maddening though. absolute crazy. and because i felt that the graphics could be better, my marketing knowledge kicked into gear and i put in some effort to learn photo editing (a word to describe my skills is "crap"), just so i can spruce it up abit.

so all in all, busy busy busy but thank god i can fit in well with my colleagues.

just pray that i can keep the stress under check. i don't do well under stress, and i admit, i don't do well with a lack of sleep either, unlike my brother who can go 24 hours of working (to rush WCG).
