I'm tired. Physically. That's weird, considering that I slept my whole afternoon away after I reached home. And! I slept during the 42 minutes train ride. Maybe it's the indigestion that's making me feel so. Bleah.
Today afternoon was fun!!!! It was my first time in St. Francis of Assisi church. I didn't realise that I was being "made used" of till Clement and I met up to discuss HIS lesson plan on Thursday. Horrible girl. Somehow though, I really have to thank him for giving me the opportunity to teach the kids, all of them sec 3. Teaching these older kids is definitely not like teaching primary school kids. The younger ones allow you to be sadistic a little. But somehow, the cat can really get my tongue.
After lesson,
Boy, "Teacher teacher!!! Miss Elaine!!! I drew something for you. See??"
Thrusting the piece of paper into my hands, he proudly shows off the robot picture that he drew. I suspect it's Pokemon.
Was thinking, "Ahh...right. So you were drawing when I was teaching. Hmm."
On the other hand, "Eh, but he's really sweet leh. Haiz..."
And when I went," Wa...so nice!!! You really drew it yourself? Thank you so much!"
His face just broke into a smile and made me melt. Darn.
Before I started teaching, to tell you honestly, my heart was thumping like crazy. I was so nervous! Geez. But strangely, 5 minutes before I started, I felt nothing =)
Don't know how my lesson went for the kids but I really do hope that despite all the fun in the role-play, they learnt something.
Learning to live the visions and values of Jesus. That was the theme. Praise to you Father for helping me to deliver.
Sometimes the future scares me. I haven't any idea of what will happen. At the same time, I wish I knew. But that would just spoil the fun of it, will it not? Sometimes we wish that we knew what would happen- things that we would like to see but we can't- like tomorrow. Too bad we can't crack tomorrow open, to see if it's the way we would like it. Someone once said, "Meddling with tomorrow before its time, like opening a partly cooked egg, would spoil both today and tomorrow."
Though I know not what awaits me,
What the future has in store,
Yet I know the Lord is faithful,
For I've proved Him oft before

P.S.The gift you gave me, I cannot accept. Instead, I offered it to Mother Mary to pray for you, me and everyone else. Keeping you in my prayers. Thank you...
