At first I don't know about this outing until Monday night JG told me about that...This outing we went yesterday night after working session and Jamie and SY asked for lim teh session...and Jamie recommended to us some places and finally we chose to go to Shamugam which is next to Berkeley Corner...
Waited for staffs and students to go back and having a chat among us at the ground floor..laughing and screaming all the way although my friends wearing kumon shirt except me...XD
Finally, we shall make a move for some drinks as time was running out..JG drove his car-pooling KF, BK and me while SY drove hers accompany by Jamie...off we go!!!woohoo.....
Reached there and we can't be surprised that the stall was full of youngest like us though there were few senior citizens...ordered our food and drinks and chit chat around among us talking various of topics and watched WWE Jamie's favourite TV show..LOL..blah blah blah...
Voiced out some of my viewpoints since I worked in Kumon and expressed my thoughts during my services for that company...but I having one feeling of reluctant to let go that tutor job as I really get used to it though the duration is short...
Around 1 plus, our phones kept ringing as a sign to say GOODBYE!!!for safety purpose we decided to split..Jamie and SY bid a goodbye and a wish of good luck for me and I do appreciate them very much...
That's all for now..Adios...

Last 2 Day
Hmm..this post by right should be posted on the Thursday, Jan 14 but couldn't make it as time constraint...
Well that day was my second last day before I stopped Kumon a while to continue my studies...
That day, I found that some of the students that I guided were very good but not all...from that day, I found that who was my favourite student..after guiding students for so many times and till the last 2 day before I stopped, I found ONE...for me doing reading and guiding with her is a pleasure and the processes went very well and smooth...after the reading we have some fun talk since there was no students waiting and it will be the last time guiding her and I do gave her some advice and asked her to keep practising the the flashcards as she was new to it...at first she refused to do the flashcard but after some persuasion being done, she tried her effort in it...and for me Practise Make Perfect so I told her to practise more and she will get better of it later on...
Then, went for dinner around 7 plus and I get to try Melissa's mum homemade walnut cookies...not bad, the sugar content was moderate...*THUMB UP*
In the end of that day, have some fun talk, laughing with Juin Giap, Kah Foong and Boon Kiat while waiting for staffs and students to go home...
I think that's all for now...CY

"Farewell" to Kumon
Well, this post is actually about my last day of working in Kumon which was yesterday Jan 15 before I resume back to my new semester which will be start on the Jan 18..since Oct 09, I have promised Miss Lee that I will continue working till my semester start..so I make up my mind to work till the last day of the last week of my 3 months holidays which start end of Sept 09...
Initially it was tough to let go this job since I took months to get used to that job...though at first I hoped for a Maths tutor job but I was granted a English tutor job which at first I find it quite tough for me but as time passed I really get used to that job though it was tough for me at first..however with the mental strength and the initiative and also the willingness to learn new things really help me a lot to get along with the system there..frankly speaking the Maths and English department both have its own system...from what I have heard from one of my friend who was teaching Maths higher level, he really tensed a lot marking students' worksheets...as we know for Maths, it more emphasis in their workings...
Till now, I could guide a worksheets until Level CII, though people may say that level is low but it is not...for me that level can consider quite tough and to do well, the student must give a lot of effort in it and not for the sake of just doing and pass up...
Hmm, back to the topic, as it was my last day, I make full use of the tutoring time doing the reading and explaning...and for some students, before they leave, I gave them some useful advise in learning..hope that they could absorb what I have counsel them...as a teacher, we also hope that the students can learn well and have a better knowledge to live in this society nowadays...
During yesterday working period, we were quite free in the afternoon and early evening...and I have my earliest dinner since I worked there...I ate my dinner at 6.15 pm...to my surprise, when I walked to the pantry, the dining table was full with 2 empty seats left...XD
went to wash my hands and start eating my dinner and what make me feel a bit shy was that all the stuffs eating there were women; Jamie, LSY and 2 new stuffs...and later on Miss Lee came in and had dinner with us too sitting next to me as there was an empty seat next to me...WOOHOO!!!FIRST TIME!!!feel glad but a bit shy but what to do..appreciate that moment of course as it was my last day...don't even know if there will be another chance to meet up again...sigh...
Then after eaten my dinner and left Jamie and me and Teacher Christina and Rina came in for dinner too..as I have some time left over so planned to stay in with them chit chatting...but Jamie gave me the food she leftover as she could not finish it..at first refuse to accept it but after few time persuaded me then I finish it off...really shy leh...sigh...
Soon just left 3 of us, C, R and me...we had some fun chat but I seldom interfere and just keep an ear on what they say and laughed...what a time foe that...really apreciate that moments a lot...
Went to my place and continue my guiding job..and soon students kept on coming in and soon became a big crowd..but we managed to clear the students fast and maintain the pace...
Finally, most of the students have being cleared before 10 pm and just one doing reading till 10 plus...Signed off around 10.15 pm...
That's all for now...Adios!!!

Routine Summary
Last Friday(20/11), being guided by a teacher on how to mark higher level worksheet at Kumon as there were few students coming in due to most of them came in the evening..At first I was busy marking all the worksheets/homework so that the staffs can prepare the following worksheets for the students..to my surprise Teacher M.Y requested me if I able to mark higher level worksheets(level D&E)..for sure I will go for it and she guided me the marking process..actually it was a good news for me as I get to know the marking scheme for higher level..xD
On Saturday(21/11), went for a haircut with my mum as she was going for it...
Sunday(22/11), spent the whole day at home...
On Monday(23/11) and Tuesday(24/11), teacher M.Y was late and will be coming at 6 pm..the atmosphere at Kumon is different..as normal I did my part - marking, guiding lower students for reading and doing my worksheets...
Wednesday(24/11), woke up a bit late and managed to go for breakfast and later my dad will be going to Banting with his friends for praying stuffs...spent the whole evening with my little brother at home - he played his P.S and I played the C.M while facebooking...around 5 something went to sweep the floor and mop the floor...
Thursday(25/11), went to Kumon for work a little bit earlier as my dad had an appointment with his friend..reached Kumon about 1 something and a new stuff opened the door for me as most of them were busy with the Christmas decorations...signed in and helped them with the decorations as some of my friends planned to go for some food as it was already late afternoon...so I took over their place for the decorations..as I was done with the decorations we tested the lighting stuffs to make sure all were in good conditions...then each of us back to work at our respective places...
Friday(26/11), it was a public holiday..so it will be an off day for me...:p

Rush Hour
As usual this was my 4th week working at Kumon and seem like I enjoy working there though I don't get along well with some of the people there as I'm an introvert type..xD
I think I should make some changes to myself of being a bit extrovert compared to last time!!!sigh
started my working hour b4 2pm as today the center open since morning..as not many students came for class in this evening and there was also raining non-stop outside..so I went to mark all the students' worksheets and finally was done with it..and now it was MY TIME!!!~my turn to do my worksheets...lol
due to less students came in that period of time so I took the opportunity to do my worksheets..as what I feel as I do the worksheets I can feel that I took much more time to finish off a book of worksheet...thus I decided to battle with the time to finish as many worksheets as possible in a day..as I knew that 3 months holidays is a short period of time and will pass in a short while so I took this opportunity to improve myself to a higher level as I could manage..though HYPOTHESIS had been proven that~the higher level you go the more difficult it will be...but it is fine for me as NO PAIN NO GAIN!!!hehe
just in time b4 the pick hour starts as students coming continuously, I managed to finish off a level of my worksheets..BRAVO!!!but I went for my dinner around 7pm...rest time is here...
went to the mamak bungkus 1 packet of nasi lemak and went back to have my dinner at the center as outside was raining and the weather was so so cold that time...never forget my worksheet...proceeding to the next level though the next level take me some time to do it...xD
having dinner in the dining room with my 2 working mates..having chitchat there while having dinner...but one thing thanks Jamie for the hot milo she made for me..hehe..really paiseh that time..don't really know her but she did me a favour..really appreciate it..THANKS JAMIE!!!^^
as time goes on my dinner time was over and time to get back to work and I had to postpone my worksheet...to my surprise the English department was empty with no student at all compared to Maths department...so I proceeded with my worksheets till the next students proceed to me...
guiding the students and marking the students' worksheets till the working hour stop with no chance to do my worksheets after all...but its fine for me as tomorrow I will be there for the worksheets!!!
till then..Adios!!!

Outing 19/10
This week was the 2nd week that I worked at Kumon...to my surprise all the stuffs here are quite ok with each others and for sure there will be jokes around especially we went outing together after working hours...XD
To my surprise I went for 3 consecutive outings with my friends in just 1 week...wow..frankly speaking I never had this b4..hehe...
Started off with last Monday, Oct 19 went to bukit tinggi station 1 after work with my Kumon mates to celebarate Melissa's birthday..whao..never had that happy mood b4...no doubt that bukit tinggi was crowded with ppl and of course station 1 was also fully packed on that day..luckily we could manage find a table which was sufficient for us as quite a number of ppl attended...
Once we settled down, for sure conversation started off as the waiters and waitresses asked for orders 3 to 4 times but no one had made up our mind what to drink...the woman had their's and the guys had their's...as all of us had arrived we ordered the drinks and some tid bits...
spending the whole night till 12 am...playing pokers and telling jokes and we laughed whole night non-stop...till the moment b4 12 the surprise was here..the birthday cake was here tonight...hahahaha!!!the stuffs at bukit tinggi station 1 were quite coorperative as they made some noise as the cake was taken to our table...wow..so so amazing..this is the first birthday celebration that I had ever since attended...XD...
Around 1 plus we ended our celebration as tomorrow we need to work again and also all of us were very tired after a day of working and partying...
till then...
