and sometimes, kids are so innocent, eager to learn and gather new knowledge; never once stop asking questions. small little stories and jokes can make their day or put a smile to their face. even cute wrapping found on the cover of sweets amaze them.
i believe that learning ought to be fun right from the start rather than overloading their little brain and pressurizing them to score well. when they are having fun learning, the more they will absorb and remember. after all they are still kids, playful by nature. by pressurizing them with loads and loads of work/assignments/classes to do make them grow old faster as they get tired of their life. and what kind of childhood is that? - years down, would they regret that they never had chance to really play?

this is the little girl i've been teaching for the past 4 months. coming so far, im really proud of her and recent achievement for the end of year exams. She scored a grade 5 for her english exam! (the highest is 6). no doubt she might be like any other little girls who have mood swings, loves to play and adores cute things, she never stop to learn and work hard! at her age, she already know when is time to play and when is time to study. im so glad im blessed with such a lovely girl(:

i know that with her determination and attitude she will make it big.

not forgetting this kids i used to look after when i was teaching at a childcare before i entered poly. from top to bottom respectively: Bittu and Akash. i will never forget those good and bad times we shared together. good with all the laughter and mischief they never fail to bring to us. bad times like the sudden poo on the floor or spitting food all over. but at the end of the day, you know it is worth it. seeing them growing bigger and bigger day by day, as they start walking the long path of life awaiting them with excitement they have yet to unveil.

and they will grow up and be successful too.

not one. but all of them.
