i had the most normal commserve today. solo-ed the whole thing, thinking that tze liang may come and take over in a while, only to realise for 2 hours that he's a scholar too and probably has amc today. LOL, very clever of me. and then the couple on duty obviously ponned (or went to "romantic", as coined by the nosey kids HAHA)

anyway, children these days can be scarily informed or misinformed, whichever way you want to see it. the kids i was handling during "silent reading" (well, the kids weren't silent at all, really. they were making such a ruckus. it's a wonder whether they are even reading at all.). so these 2 girls and ronald were browsing through this comic with rather explicit drawings and giggling like maniacs over it. i guess more conservative people will be appalled at what the children are being exposed to. but what i'm concerned about is not that they actually got hold of such a book. these books are abundant anyway, i'm not surprised if one of them had simply grabbed it from their parents' studies or something. what caught my attention is actually the way they kept making references to sexual stuff like it was part of everyday life. then they imitate the "sexy" actions in the book and try to get their peers to do the same. D: and mind you, they are 8, 9 and 10 years old? LOL. then the very normal little sean proclaimed, in a separate chat today, that when he becomes rich next time, he won't donate. woww, where's all the innocence gone to? this is really saddening :x

ok off with the weird, shocking or difficult to stomach news. the rest of the commserve hours were less than normal too. i guess the kids were just especially high because of a lack of adults supervising them. look, there were only me, a young teacher, a senior teacher, the teatime auntie and the head supervisor. a tad half of the normal numbers. so yea, the kiddos probably just went bonkers at their newfound freedom. as little sean cleverly coined it, "i'm always fighting for freedom. maybe next time don't need anymore." but now, they're grabbing and enjoying little snippets of this future freedom lol (: and so, we were really shorthanded. everyone had at least 3 kids yelling for them for help in schoolwork at a go. it wasn't easy shuffling round and round to teach them each for a short while, cos you're so busy, you really wonder whether they understood what you said but there's no time dilly dallying at one spot for too long. poor kids :x i got dizzy after an hour of shuffling about. but then, it's tea time. so had time to get my drift back (:

jiayee is getting really attached to me, i think. following me around everywhere in the center. we exchanged lots of lame jokes today lol :p and i realised i'm on quite good terms with almost everybody in the commserve. as in, on a personal basis. it isn't all because tze liang or phuong ha was around. so yea, i feel really happy today ((:

oh yea, i take back my words that mrs lim poked fun at me about everything under the sun except the relationship. we just got the brunt of it today LOL. haha mrs lim is so funny.
