Hoobastank
Today was the Open House and Fun Fair at my school. And how it was tiresome! The day before I had to set the whole art-exhibition room mostly by myself (the kids did some help by bringing down the artworks from 6th floor to 3rd floor, thanks guys!). Finished around 6 PM, but no, I couldn't go home coz I had to wait for the band that I've been training to check their sounds and did one last rehearsal for the big day. I got home around 9 PM. Hungry. Tired. Collapsed. Tepar. But still got a bit of energy to go online and read a blog of one of my students. And it made my day. I slept with a smile lingering on my face.
Anyway, today when I was sitting around attending the exhibition room, another teacher came in. And we chatted for a while. She asked, "Are you planning to stay next year?". I said, "Well, yes. If the school still wants me to stay. I love the kids. I want to stay." And it's true. I just love the kids. Especially the Sec 2s. I just love talking to them, laughing with them and listening to their stories. I'm a graphic designer and as a 25 years old single guy, I should plan my future wisely and not be dependant on whether some school still want to hire me or not, but there's really nothing else I want to do right now than teaching those kids. Passing on my knowledge and wisdom to the younger generation in order to make a better future for all of the human race....... Well, okay, the last part may not be entirely true. But I do love being around those kids.
When I told her that, she told me that it's the right reason to stay. Well, is it?
Oh yes, today I also saw something that made my day. One of the Sec 1 girl wear a costume of Little Red Riding Hood for promoting the English Exhibition and with her red cheeks, cute innocent face, she looked like the REAL thing! The real Little Red Riding Hood! I was surprised. Shocked. Stunned. She made me believe in Little Red Riding Hood! Little Red Riding Hood does exist! I should've taken picture of her and put it here if it's not because of my chronic-forgetfullness to bring the camera >.< Damn!
