First Day in Kindergarten

Posted on By sweet surrender 2 Comments on First Day in Kindergarten

My first day today, going to be a quick update, I’m so dead tired. Will be off to sleep in few more minutes.

Went there around 7.15am, went home around 1pm. I kept yawning and my eyes were so heavy when I reached home. Wanted to sleep but couldn’t sleep because I’m supposed to be settling some works, reports and need to do my IELTS revision. At the end, I had to take a nap for about 15 minutes because I couldn’t stand it. Felt slightly better but still cannot concentrate, mentally and physically tired even though I didn’t do much today, just observing and assisting a bit here and there.

I’ve not been feeling like this for so many years. I felt like this every single day last time when I first work. After work, all I wanted to do was to not do anything. It went on until I resigned. My social life was affected quite a fair bit that time because I was too tired to go out. Now… I’m feeling this way again. The same exhaustion is attacking me. Worst, this time is only half-day work, not even full day like last time. Guess I’m living a very good life ;p hahaha…

All right, must stop here. Good night!

New Category – Practical Life

Note: If you found this post because you wanted to look for Montessori teaching approach, then I have to disappoint you as I’m not a Montessori practitioner.

Hi people! This is the new category for my blog, Practical Life. This new category will be where I share my experience as a student teacher. Yeah! You read it right! Irene, a teacher?!?! Believe it or not?!?! Surrounded by children below 6 years old! OH DEAR!

Starting tomorrow until 13th November, I will be doing my internship at a local kindergarten. Not going to tell you where ;p In fact, I kind of dreading this practical but what to do… I have to do it to be able to graduate. I hope I will still be in one piece by the end of the practical. Must not fall sick.

Gonna be very busy these two months, might not be able to do a daily post by then. Can no longer sleep late and wake up late. Dread to wake up at the ungodly hour(at least for me, before 6am -.-“) too. Back home have to complete all the paper works related to it, then have to work, do my assignments, and do IELTS revision else semester exam revision(in October, no exam break some more! Crazy…). I don’t have that much time because one whole morning will be gone!

Even though I always wake up late, 9 or 10am, I will do my revision for exam right after I wake up. Then in the afternoon, I will do my works and assignments until 12-1am. Now… Morning totally gone! Then at night have to sleep early(before 11pm, would be better at 10pm but it’s too early) else I will be a zombie and cannot perform well. Have to be in very tip top condition especially dealing with children! Very energy and mentally draining!

Aiyoyo… It’s like going back to work after 5 years of “rest”. Something totally different from what I’ve been doing, everything start from scratch. No pay also. Worst, I’m not the kind that like to work under people and dread the routine of going back and forth to work. That explains why I prefer to work from home and be my own boss.

Look at the bright side, it’s only 8 weeks, time will fly very very fast(I hope…). Hopefully I will be able to get the hang of this new “job” as soon as possible. Have to teach, have to do observation, and have to help around. Would be dead tired in the afternoon, wonder how to work, do assignments, and revision by then?

Two crazy and busy months… Here I come.

I’m busy and frustrated. Busy with revision, exam this coming weekend, frustrated with my work because it’s taking freaking too long! Also being sandwiched in between is no fun! What is wrong with you people?!?! Anyway, I really don’t care for now, I have to take care of my exam first. I would have done my revision now if non of all these nonsense delaying me! Now, I still have so many to memorize, roughly covered 50% only! Sigh…


Anyway, I just realized I forgot to post this set of photos up, taken at home after got back from the photo session at tHe Spring for our photos to be put up on the wall for the Ambassador Hunt!


This is it! Up at tHe Spring, extremely huge photo of me at the shopping mall ;p Like I said last time, I’m gonna haunt you for don’t-know-how-long there. It never cross my mind or dream that I will have my photo up in public place *LOL* It’s one great experience.

Make up was by Stage, hairdo by Richard & Iris. The clothes we’re wearing for the photo session were our own.
