My first 원장님
Listening to: Silence. Went all the way to Paya lebar today (Ok i couldnt stand the silence so decided to play F.T Island [첫키스] over n over again ^^) to see my first 원장님! Well he's nice and i merely read out the korean words on one of the teachers' room and he immediately went to tell another 2 koreans there that i can speak korean well. -____- "
Erm thats the understatement of the year!! XDD
Theory and verbal practice are really miles apart. But well my first few lessons at a 학원 went quite well (in fact i think its pretty easy cos its almost no difference from teaching minky and minwook). Ok except for a 5 or 6 year old preschooler boy who bit my hand cos i wanted to stop him from locking the door.. LUCKY he's korean AND he looks CUTE. Lol. Or else i would have surely scolded him. N his name is haesung! Ha ok all these saved his skin. =p
Well as usual i prefer the bois to the gers but today one ger caught my attention cos she stayed in china for 7 yrs previously so she could speak fluent mandarin! So cute. Her english name is called peace which i find quite sweet but i guess the name came about cos her dad is a pastor at one of the korean churches here. Another student that i chatted with (albeit TOO merrily) was a boi about 13/14 years old. Not the typical jaejoong or jaejin lookalike but i gather i like teaching rebellious adolescent bois. HAHA. And it was funny how we kinda struck up a rapport in front of the 아주머니 in charge of the place cos she kept picking on him. So i asked him to quickly finish up his coursework so that we could talk more n he faithfully did that.. and got everything right! The 아주머니 was quite surprised cos usually he was the kind of kid who gave alot of trouble and always did his work in a slipshod manner.
Yeah.. i AM a good teacher. ROFL.
But of cos striking up friendships with the kids do have its disadvantages sometimes. Especially if you are dealing with the little ones. And from experience, never ever speak korean to the little ones. That was how my bite came about.. @^$2*&!#
Hmm 기원오빠 should still be at the linkin park concert right now with his friend..
Met up with angel today after work cos paya lebar was her 'area' and we discussed our korea 2009 plans again. Lol now i realise the name of the plan doesnt sound impressive at all. Heh but i really cant wait to go!! Finally received a reply email from seyoung today. I think we stopped email correspondence ever since i came back from korea without visiting her in gwangju. *paiseh* Ha but apparently she was busy with her school work cos she will be taking her university entrance exams very soon. 세영아 Good luck~
Really missed the ten days we spent in seoul that time. I think i can still vividly remember most of the sights we saw, the roads we walked, the food we ate, n of cos the silly things we did! [^0^] But i think angel would agree with me if i were to say that there were still alot of things we did not accomplish while we were there. Especially my fireworks, baseball n sauna cum bathhouse~ Ok this time i should write down a whole list of stuff i wanna do. Lol. 기원오빠 said that he played with the fireworks before n it was NOTHING. Aish~ Thats equivalent to telling a beggar that money is useless. -__-
