KUMON :D

Love my Kumon pencil case very muchhhhh :DD
Adorable right! 


So I had been working in Kumon Centre Taman Eng Ann during the past 1.5 months. Well it was undeniably a very good experience, and I loveeeeeeee this job very much! :D For one thing, I wouldn't feel bored when I was there, as there will ALWAYS be something to keep me busy. Although it barely gives me time to rest, I prefer this kind of packed schedule, better than doing salesgirl which you can only wander around pointlessly when there's no customer around. Or, pounding about suspiciously just to catch some customer as your prey. That looks awkward for me, and it was a tough job for me tooooooo.

However, this kumon job is quite tiring, I must say. For my job is not only being a teacher who guide little child to finish up their works, there are many other minor stuffs that need to be done. But every hardwork is worth, as I am satisfied with the salary paid hahaha. I enjoyed my employed months there, perhaps I am going back again heheh. :p

So there is a place of small little kids, ranging from 3-year-old to primary school students. Of course they do have secondary school students there. Well as you can see, I am just a SPM leaver and not at all a qualified teacher, so students which can be put under my care are those small little innocent kids.

And when there're kids around, there'll ALWAYS have jokes. :D


Scene 1
Kumon only offer 2 subjects, which are Mathematics and English. Students can learn both subjects, or just pick one of them. So I was teaching one cute, pretty, charming little girl (she was undeniably pretty, I am not kidding! :D) Mathematics that day.
Student:" Teacher, I had finished my Maths worksheet. Can I go and do English worksheet now?"
Me:"Yes, go ahead." *busy with other stuffs, no time to bother her*
She ran away, but not long after she ran back to my side again.
"Teacher, I go do English now?"
*Still busying* "Yes, just go."
She ran away and then back to me again.
" Teacher, I do English now?"
*A little annoyed* "No lah, do Chinese."
"....."
Her white little face stared at me. I don't think she get the joke hahaha!
"...but there's no Chinese here, teacher."
Well, obviously she don't get it.

Scene 2
This is a story happened on one of my colleague. He was handling 5-6 children ranging from 4-6 years old. He was burning at his wits' end, as not all the students are obediently doing their worksheet, and his job was to make sure the kids are doing their worksheets attentively. He was trying hard to guide the kids, when it started to pour heavily outside.
Student:" Teacher teacher, outside raining edy??!" *in an excited tone*
Teacher:" No lah, snowing." *poker face*
Student:"....."
Another kiampa teacher here. Heh.

Scene 3
Student:" Teacher, how old are you?"
Me:" Make a guess!"
"I know! 42!!"
"WHAAAATTTTTT?!!! Do teacher look so oldd?!!!" *Almost screaming*
"Er... then 35?"
"No!"
"30?"
"Wrong! Alright stop the fuss. Do your worksheet now!"
"I know I know! You must be 28!!!"
"...."

Well, why can't you just guess a smaller number?!!!!



Heh, well, life there is quite interesting. There are different types of students there, obedient ones, mischievous ones, arrogant ones *this type is really disgusting*, adorable ones, timid ones, talkative ones, playful ones and others. Being teacher is really a tough job, for one thing YOU CANNOT CHOOSE YOUR STUDENTS. For any students whom are delivered to you, you must teach them with all your heart, no matter how stubborn and mischievous they are. I once taught a student whom really is an arrogant one, no matter how you scolded, pledged, or advised him, he wouldn't buldge. You can only wait till his mood return then only he will listen to your words. I was really having a tough time teaching him, he almost drove me crazy. Now I can understand how my mum feels. Sighs.

No matter what, there are cute ones there too! I enjoyed my time teaching them haha, especially Ru En, she is soooooo cuteeee oh gawdddddd 




KUMON.
All the best, hey! :)






And I never thought my ridiculous dream 
would come true one day after all.
