WOKR EXPERIENCE DAY 4+5

DAY FOUR

• Had the year 2 class again
• Pretty amazed some kids still remembered my name
• Started off doing DEAR, and then writing, and then maths with the kids
• Went to PRESCHOOL! Ms. had to teach the kids for an hour so i got to tag along. Remet Collin as well as Roger and then sat with Simon and CJ and Duke and talked about Minecraft that i had no idea about ahhahas.
• Lunch was cute! Hung out with the normal kids and then all these random ones came to play Red Light Green Light. 
• Helped kids and showed them how to use powerpoint
• Drew on some cards and talked to Lozi, this really cute kid. The teacher dislikes him so much for being loud and rowdy and keeps threatening to put his name on the board blahblah. when will she realise that if you just pay attention to him and put out your time to help him out, he's one of the nicest kids ever. 
• Recess: walked around to waste time, played hide and seek again. zain and ayman, i still can't figure out who's who. 
• LIBRARY. helped the kids do some sentence writing. Sat with Qasim, this kid who barely concentrates and is always so rowdy but if you encourage him he tries so hard. Sat with Lozi and the asian group and one of the guys asked me what i do in Minecraft and i'm like 'oh im still on level 1 cause i suck. so i usually live in the caves.' and then Simon goes 'but you can't you need wood. how can you make a cave without wood.' awksies
• Duke is cute but he says the most weirdest things, don't know why other kids fight for him

DAY FIVE

• PRESCHOOOOOL. 
• no one in the morning class remembered my name it sucked
• COLLIN. sosososo cute. i asked him if he wanted to make a crown and he looked and me and said "if you want to make one, i'll make one with you!'
• Far out the teacher gave me 200 pages to photocopy, came back in time for story time, missed out on making crowns
• Read 'Caps for Sale' and Jonathan was the peddler and he's sososo cute and collin was a monkey
• Collin made me sit next to him for fruit time
• Lunch time came out to play with all these kids and the year 2 kids would come over and play or say hi to me they're so adorable. Hide and Seeked with all these kids. 
• The kids figured it would be the last time i'd see them and they all came and hugged it was so cute. even the kids i haven't taught before.
• sneaked some photos ahhahas. 
• Afternoon class, PEOPLE REMEMBERED MY NAME. 
• Hung out with my biffle4lyfe Andy ahahhas. he is so cute and i try to talk to him in English though he'd reply to me in Viet. 
• Hung out with Imogen who tried to talk to Andy but she didn' know Viet so she would just say gibberish nasily syllables it's so funny. 

I HAD SO MUCH FUN.i got to meet so many kids, talked to loads of the staff which share the same joy in teaching little kids like me and just sharing all the positive energy. 
these kids are so carefree, they don't bitch, don't hold grudges, forget that they're pissed at someone after less than a day. so happy and can just play with whoever they want. and even the kids who might be annoying and rude turn out to be the cutest, nicest and they just need the love and attention. an unforgettable opportunity.

I hate it the feeling how the things i dread and feel disappointed with myself about are the things that i need. Some sort of unhealthy addiction, i feel disgusted when im done but never brave enough to leave it for good.






I keep running back to you.

thinking music. cause i feel sick.

just something i found amazing

    If the boy who draws

    lets you look over his shoulder.

    If the poet

    smiles

    and shows you her words.

    If the girl who sings for the shower only,

    hums a song

    in front of you.


    Know that you’re no longer a person

    but the air

    and dust

    that fills their lungs.


    When the world perishes,

    and all things cease to exist,

    you’ll remain inside an ink stain,

    a paint brush,

    a song.

I swear i think im the only person who found hanging out with small kiddies for work experience a fun thing. Weird as it sounds I feel so happy just to spend time with the kids and talk to them and see them all happy, it makes me feel so much younger. And thinking back, not a lot has changed after a decade of going to this small school, the atmosphere is still so friendly and lovable. 
 

30 DAY CHALLENGE DAY TWO: Something you feel strongly about

2. Something you feel strongly about
how judgmental we could be. 

so i was talking to my friend a couple weeks back and something happened in our group and the last thing my friend said was "pretty people get everything."

and at first i was like psh no wtf but, come to think about it, looks determine so many things in the way people treat you and how you treat others. 

For instance, i know so many people who might not be babes but their personality is so great but guys don't go for them. they go for the easily wasted, cakeuped pretties that have shitty personalities and in the end they're like 'why can't i find a decent girl? ann why is she such a bitch to me blahblah'

Also, votings. You know how there's like SRC voting, or class voting for like formal organisers, even prefects. Please don't deny that looks have something to do with the overall votings. This pissed me off so much, especially when my class voted for people in the formal committee. And half the people voted are shit cause they don't go to the meetings, don't give a crap, aren't the sort of leader personality. But they have the face for it. Why should the face matter? 

They get away with so many things, half the prefects of this year - via my sister's judgements - are crap but since they're popular and since half the school looks at their prefect voting photos and say 'holycrap they're pretty' they become a prefect. 

we as a society has become so shallow and so dependent on the aesthetic qualities of people. instagram is all full of shit like 'ohmygod you're so pretty' 'babe you're gorgeous please go to a hole'. im not saying that everyone should uglify themselves to be balanced. it's just everyone's beautiful in their own way and we shouldn't judge people on that. 

respect to people who would approach other people for things other than the way they look at dress.

MY JAM: MASHUP GERMANY

Hey guys :) so for Halloween mufti this year I decided to try out Zombie Boy and while checking out this girl's tutorial (which is so amazing alsdjalskjd) i stumbled onto Mashup Germany :)

Mashup Germany is this pretty dope guy -Ben Stiller- who mashups all these songs and it's such a blast. Showed it around to people and so far people like it so yeah :) definitely check the mashup's out :) So he does loads of mashups that range to loads of music genre's, so there's dance and pop and blahblah. i don't know i'm more into the pop ones with some old school songs in them, they bring back memories.

 

Jet vs. Lenny Kravitz vs. Hard-Fi vs. more - I want to get away 

sldkfjsldjflksdf too good :)

Just can´t get enough - Mashup-Germany

Mashup-Germany - I'm coming home 

okay so bob marley is just awesome so this is like eargasmic. 

there are so much more, just keep flipping through his soundcloud page :)

OCTOBER FAVOURITES

So October, my favourite month!, has passed. Coming with it were some huge ups and downs and loooaaads of drama, including formal drama, people drama. But also a lot of parties, outings, and them damn exams. Had the funnest birthday, started a new job, fixed some relationships, made new friends. So here are my top five things/moments of this month :)

Song: Ordinary Joe- Nujabes
So I've been looping Nujabes in general because he's amazing. Found this in the middle of this month and thought it was such a lovely song. 

  
Book: The Perks of Being A Wallflower

I've been reading this...for 2 months :P It's always been something I've been putting on hold because it's a pdf file on my ipod and I've never touched it, only when im lonerated on the train- which is frankly never hahas. So when my friend Jasmine said she had the bought the book, i immediately borrowed it from her. And I started right from the beginning and finished it in one night, in time for the movie. It really is such an amazing book because it explores so much teen angst and when I read it, some parts i was like  'hey, this actually happens to me as well, this is also how i think'. Definitely a book to read, even if you're a non-reader like me. 

Item: Maybelline Baby Lips Smoothing Cherry

 I have always been a sucker for Baby Lips, and I think forever will be. I first tried Baby Lips when I got a free sample and it was just amazing. It moisturizes me lips so quickly and so I had to grab one when it was on sale. And this one smells amazing :) Pretty good :) 

Movie: Les Intouchables
Okay yes fine, I am really lame for saying it was my favourite cause i barely did anything fun this month. yay exams :/ But this is truly a beautiful movie. hahas yeah I think I said this before. So yes, please go watch!

Moment: 
Okay this happened today but it was really amazing. It was in Zumba and we were meant to partner up and do these crazy moves except the group all joined up as a big circle and we were just acting crazy and all happy. Hahahs even though it was hot and sweaty, it was such a great atmosphere to be with the people you like and care for. And i know i'm getting deep and erksberks but these small things that you don't notice just shows how, even though there are so much drama and people are iffy towards others, in the end we fit perfectly as a group. I feel so grateful for that. 

TOP 5 FAVOURITES OF THE MONTH, what are yours?

i really don't know what shit i want for Christmas

CHRISTMAS. KRIS KRINGLE. A LOAD OF WORRIES. 

To be honest I'm not really a Kris Kringle fan. Actually I'm not a fan of gift giving. It's not like i don't want to, i love making people happy but everytime, there's always this iffyness when I give it to them. I am so freaked out that the person wouldn't like the present cause then that just means something else useless in their house. So I take AGES to decide what to give people. 

I remember going out shopping last year and I stayed in that shop for an hour just to buy some little gifts, like coming back and forth. and Mum's already finished grocery shopping. 

And there are those iffy KK experiences. Like a pair of plain gold studs for last year's class KK. And the load of jewellery that I got last year as well. And even this year - wondering why i said No Makeup, No Jewellery, No Wallets for this years. 

But seriously I don't know what i want. Things I want, I seriously have got already. And other things I want are expensive. People ask for candles and I'm like, yeah i like how candles smell nice. But they're candles. They're so impractical. hahahs another thing pissing about me. I love practical things. No decoration shit, they're so useless, you're fine without them likewise. 

I think, if anything, the best present would be an Ebay Giftcard. The shit i could get with that, the amount of shit i could get with that, would be amazing. 
sorry, here's to another random ramble. 

 

yes! so much shit off my shoulder!

this week has been going pretty well :)
though class gets boring and bludgey and test results have killed me - especially science- it feels good to relax :)

Les Intouchables was amazing. Maybe cause i have this about feeling happy when old people are happy but it was so funny and so amazingly written. And the end i was crying cause it was so beautiful. Me and Kim brought so much food but we didn't even eat half of it cause we were just watching.

Work was fun because i was placed on drinks and it's so fun except my cones were so ugly and my workees were laughing at me about how shitty my cones looked. Met some other people and made new friends and everyones so helpful, it's all so cute. 

No more shifts today and i'm closing in getting one of my stars yay! 

Christmas is coming and so is the amount of KK presents. So far it is $150 not counting my goal in buying my dad his super present so yes, hopefully i get a shitload of shifts by the end of the year to put everything together. :) 

 so much shit has happened so this blog is pretty bare, but i'll be grabbing some more time soon so yaaay!
