it was a helluva tiring day for me today. i did some relief teaching at blgps. it was a horror, i tell you. ok well, maybe the kids were sweet. but i spent most of the time settling them down. HAH. the things they said are simply priceless.

"miss janna.. theresa cut queue. i sit here first. she push me." [they were basically scrambling to sit in front of me. lol. ok so this girl sulked. and i ignored her.]

"miss janna... my hair fall down. can you help me tie?" [ fall down?!]

"miss janna.. you see this picture. the girl pushing the guy's buttocks into the oven." [to which i replied, "yes darling." heh]

"miss janna... jocelyn broke my eraser. now i no eraser."[ i ignored that.]

"miss janna.. you english or malay?" [i'm malay, thank you very much]

"miss janna.. you very pretty." [ weee! hahaha.]

"miss janna, you cannot be so kind to them. they still very noisy." [ i know darling. if i had my way, i would have scratched their eyes.]

"miss janna.. why you never use ruler and scold kok liang?" [ because i don believe in violence. oh yes, when i have kids, they're never gonna be caned. i have never been caned. why should they?]

"miss janna.. my nose got red red. very pain." [it looks like a pimple to me. hahaha. rite.]

there are loads more. please do pardon the tenses. primary one kids are not quite good at that. but it's not an easy job. but i did enjoy it. yay-ness.

my feet almost killed me. waited for a cab for an hour. the taxi driver turned out to be some asshole. well, he's malay obviously.

the fare was $12.20. so i handed him a 50-dollar note plus 20 cents.

him: can you check whether you have small change?
me: if i have, i would have given you. [like duh?!]
him: if you come out from your house, i believe you. but this one, you come from shopping centre. how can you not have change?
me: well excuse me, i came out from a primary school and i walked to that shopping centre. [was muttering fucking asshole under my breath]
him: grunts.

you're a taxi driver. you need to have small change you fucking moron.

turns out he has change. asshole.
