ART~~~

Again, idea idea idea...need more ideas to fulfill those kids' desire towards art...Here come some ideas after few searching have been done...there are few craft arts to make my art class more lively ( at the same time more tiring for me..hahaxp) Anyway, as long as those kids happy and excited to learn thats already contenting..

So,first two arts product will be produced using paper plate.

1st: Bunny mask



After i have done that mask following the website i felt doubt whether really to show them this sample or not since i felt it look a bit 'strange' and 'un-cute'...but when i shown them the sample, unexpectedly they praise it..what a relief..hehe

2nd: Mr. kura kura



This also i learned from one of those webiste..as it is simple and cute plus nice i decided to teach them this..after myself done with the sample i fell in love with it..it is so adorable..

3rd: Apples' tree

This is one kind of art which have to be completed mostly using fingerprint...will start praying from now on that art class with this theme will end with nice and clean condition...you will never imagine how messy a kid can be with water colour + finger...can even imagine their mum's frowning faces when see their child reach home with colourful uniform..hahaha...neway, if can i hope can let them have some try with water colour art...just simple one...

But.......to make a sample for them without a set idea cause me tried with three paper and the last one is the one i am satisfied enough to carry on to show them the product as it is the simplest and nicest...

1st try:



AS it need to use all kind of colours and creatures so i think should forget it and proceed to second try...so what u saw is the half way drawn picture...most creatures in it are created by fingerprint except the touch up...

2nd try:



If let those kids go on with this, the mum will cry as u can c the trunk is done by using our finger+palm and hand....so this means v must turn half part of our hand into brown colour...imagine if 47 of student with their hand in brown n keep yelling : teacher, help me...fuh...skip skip...but i end up over excited with ss-ing till making the picture into weirdo..haha


3rd try:



Yea, least colour needed, least messy and simple plus nice...okay! satisfied with this apple/cherry/ watever tree and finally can stop with third try..yahoo^^

Cross country~~

Today is the second time be one of the organizer of cross country ( the first was in uni^^)...Looking at others running really give me another kind of feeling than running my own (been running the whole secondary school life)..felt kind of excited for them..

Std 4,5,6 students of SJK(C)KHE BENG are involved in this yearly cross country event and the route length is less than 1km...my position is to wait at the final point and 'catch' the winners..nice experience...

Those students manage to complete the whole route in 5mins averagely...i think it is a good warm up for them to prepare themself to step into their secondary life..

As usual accidents and all kind of situation will happen where a student fell down and injured quite badly (bleed at mouth, hand,leg), some run till face oso turn white, some sprain their legs....anyway it is a learning process and most return with relief faces..haha

All in all, nice new experience...hehe^^

Hot air bAllOOn

Camera battery charged, memory card emptied as preparation for the following day Hot aIr BalloON fiesta photo shooting...

Early morning of 20 March 2011, after filling our empty stomach at our TAM tradition restaurant, here we go to Putrajaya for the Hot air balloon...Heard that there are hot aIr balloon ride from 8am-11am for morning session but when we reach there around 8something, ticket are already sold out...the place already quite packed with cars and human at that time but lucky thing is we got our parking quite easily and not that jam yet compared to the time when we leaving...

At first i am so excited when saw the first few giant balloons and start snapping photo once step down the ground..but when move forward into deeper area and found out only few more oval shape balloons appearing in my view..start to feel disapointed...wondering where goes those cutie balloon such as doremon's or at least got some weird faces balloon...neway, we just continue snapping and exploring around by finding out there are quite a number of activities been carried out around there...quite happening overall..

After enough of snapping and sun bathing, we decided to go somewhere cooler such as Alamanda shoping center...at first plan to watch a movie but end up just have some nice lunch and window shoping before heading home since there are no nice seat in cinema for 10 persons..hehe..all in all the fiesta abit of disapointing but good experience^^

Bookmark

Week by week, art classes seems to be coming so fast each week and keep racing with my idea squeezing speed..fuhh...every week same episode of storyline with idea squeezing at d beginning of d week, happy and contented when got an idea, again worried with what to teach for the following week at the end of the week....help~~..haha..

Anyway, for this week i come out with an idea by teaching my students to make bookmark ( since they start complaining want to do some handcraft after few weeks of drawing).. so on the night before the class came i settle myself down to make a sample bookmark..have to think something not so complicated yet nice enough to trigger their eagerness to do it...after some time..deng deng deng~~..here come my fine art's product..felt so satisfied after such a long time since last touch artwork..xp

2011

HAPPIE HAPPIE NEW YEAR!!!

Another year has arrived and again one year older...huhuhu...this is the first year released from study life transforming into working life...since bonded to government for news for one year, so it become the reason i not stepping into the real working world yet and temporary working as a primary teacher..

Teaching in SJK (C) Khe Beng..last year was responsible to teach science (mandarin),maths (mandarin),music and moral, while this year i feel should be an easier one as i only needed to focus on english, both english and scince in english..Last year still get to play with standard 1 students and they are the one still so adorable and innocent..this year as my schedule i only responsible to teach standard 2 and 3 students...and one more subject that is quite worrying me is ART!..oh my, first class itself i start to lack of idea what to teach those kids..luckily get an idea from ex-art teacher last minute and first art class went through smoothly..but....cant imagine how am i gona handle for the following months..pray hard...@@

Honestly, i am enjoying this job as it is not really much after-work stress and the working scope is to face those cutie...of course there are impossible everything will be going so well as there also some 'hyperactive' , rebillion, nvr listen's kids ...anyway, learning is in progress...In prompt to is a must criteria for a teacher in order to settle variety cases created by those kids..and more creative than the students a teacher must be if want to control them...

Anyhow, sometime those kids' expression and words are so....how can i say....erm...so heart melting, funny, innocent and angel-like...neway, i start choosing not to become 'too angel' teacher to them as they will start climbing to your head as you did so..so, new year new resolution..be a sterner teacher..kekexp

Earliest morning call>>5am,6am breakfast at hotel lobby,7am heading to a destination which located at Trang, anth state of thai...after 3 hour journey finally we reach Ley Cave, also written as Le Khao Kop Caver.

" It is one of the sights in Trang that now drawing more and more
visitors. The reason is, the cave is quite easy to enter, since there are
guided tours by boat. A subterranean stream flows through the cave.
Stalactites and stalagmites line the cave for about 4 kilometers. An exciting
aspect about Le Cave is the low ceiling. Often, the ceiling is so low that
everybody entering the cave needs to lie down flat in the boat in order to pass through. At the same time, it is thrilling to watch stalactites coming almost to one's face."

Quoted from: http://www.asiaexplorers.com/thailand/ley_cave.htm

5person each boat and move towards the cave rowed by two boat man...need to bend down already though just enter the cave..stop twice in the cave to land us walk around and enjoy the nature of the cave...then the real adventure came...ordered to flatten our body by laying down straight with no curving at all since the top of the cave we going through next is just few cm above our face...OMG..this is d only word that can voice out from my mouth..this is a real unforgetable experience and it is nice...thanks god every one came out from the cave without scratch..advice for those with big tummy please loose some calories first before enter this cave so that wont get so scar on the tummy..hehe

Crystal island is the next destination after lunch...reach there by motor sampan...round the island while introduced some nature structure and statue by the tour guide..some busy looking around to see either there are luck to collect some crystal back which granted with small one..he..back to Hat Yai for dinner..as usuall the meal are full of variety of meat, pork, fish,chicken......help to increase my calories...fuh..after that free and easy where we fill it with shopping spree...not bad bought some clothes and shoes..back to hotel after supper with some kind of fried kuey teow..but their kuey teow is XL size one..he..

Treasure Hunt~~

Had join a treasure hunt last sunday (28th of nov 2010)....It was a fun, exciting, challenging, time chasing and a hungry hunt....xp

The whole idea came from swan's aunt who is a member of AWAM ( All Women Action Society Malaysia) asking us to join the hunting...this is the 6th Walk- about Treasure Hunt organized by AWAM with the theme ' FOOTSTEP FOR CHANGE' and all of us (swan, amy,alexanderson) responded it well..

So on 28th 6am morning we start our journey heading for registration...the venue of whole treasure hunt are at petaling street area (thanks to our tuition experience last time, at least we quite familiar with that area, neway still have some sesat moment during the hunt..kekexp). Before start hunting, some briefing given,goodies bag taken and Ning Baizura present...

Then,we are flagged off at 8.30am with empty stomach which only get to rinsed with a little cup of foc Indocafe coffee... though empty stomach, but we are in full spirit all the way till the end of the hunt..salute!!so, 30 Qs need to be answer throughout the hunt assisted by clue given, 10 bonus Qs, 2 treasure needed to be figured out and bought to hand up for extra points....

Hunting end at 12pm and result revealing really stunned us up...personally i swear i never thought it will be that complicated and hard as the terms stated those who above 10 are good enough to join...neway we still blessed with beginner luck and get few correct answers..hahaha...but some we dig it out ourself...so we end up getting consolation prize...all of us happy bout that as first timer..yea^^
