when u were younger

Do you still remember how was it like when u were in kindergarten?
Do u remember how your childhood was like?

oh well, for me, i may not remember much, some of those precious memories has probably been wiped away by my early age pre-amnesiac syndrome. What i'm gonna share with you is OTHER people's childhood memories... I was having dinner with a friend who teaches young children as her part-time income, so we've been exchanging experience about the kids we see.
(Info plug: I was a part time kindergarten teacher 4 years ago.)

There were a few memorable ones i remembered through my short experience as a teacher. There was this one kid, she is one of the most senior among her peers, so she is kinda like the "tai ka jie" (big sister) among the kids. She has a very strong headed attitude and talks a lot, ALOT. Being a "tai ka jie" means she is always the one who dares to speak up to the teachers n sometimes...emr no... most of the time, dare to rebel. To be politically correct, she is OUTSPOKEN, in lay man's term is "mou dai mou sai" (RUDE!!!)
Somehow kids these days are much smarter, so being the "experienced tai ka jie", this girl knows that i'm a new teacher, so she tried to push her limits with me. During lunch break, she filled up her plate more than usual, so i asked her "Girl, can u finish your food? it's a lot u know?" "of course can LAH~" she answered nonchalantly. Ok fine...

By the time lunch break ends, she hasn't even finished HALF of the bloody lot!
-_-"
So i told her gently, "You said u can finish your food, mustn't waste food rite?"
And u guess what did that brat did?

She spit out whatever is inside her mouth on top of the rest of the food. "I can't eat adi, yuck."
-_______________-"
Nia ma betul...
instead of jumping up to the ceiling n swearing vulgarities that can make sailors blush(which i was on the verge of doing), i did reverse psychology. i said,"hmm.. it seems u like to waste food, i shall ask the principal if she lets you do so." I smile n coolly walked out of the dining area. The principal is actually my close fren's mom n she a nice lady, but she's like Dumbledore, feared,loving yet respectable. All the kids love her, yet they get scared hearing her name when they do something wrong. And no u fucking pervs, she's NOT gay.

Actually i was only going to the toilet, i didn't really report her. I came back, n guess what?
She cleaned the plate, finished EVERY SINGLE SCRAP OF THE FOOD. Yes, including the spit. and sat there with a sulking face. Reverse psychology experiment worked!
:D

There's also another kid who was in my class. He's not your typical cute doe-eyed sweetiepie pre-schooler, but he somehow reminds me of Golem from LOTR.

yeah... simillar but not exactly as disgusting like the one in LOTR. Cuz he has a botak head that looks too big for his skinny lil body, and his eye were huge n slightly protruding. with a cheeky smile to boot. Not to mention, this boy is very very very mischevious. (sheesh, it seems i'm fucking describing Golem instead)

This lil boy is in the class i'm teaching, which means i'm his form teacher. That day was the end of art class and getting ready for tea break, so i was clearing up the tableful of artwork to give space for the kids to have biscuits and milo. The other teachers once warned me about this little boy's rep, that i have to keep close n i mean ELEPHANT-GLUE-TYPE-OF-CLOSE eye on this boy as he is prone to do something when he is out of surveillance.

So i thought, wat harm can he do when everybody is busy eating. Well, kids like to put things in their mouth, n there were sweet cookies, so i thought it would be fine to just turn my head away to put the artwork into the shelf.

Boy i was wrong...it was only 5 secs i turned away when i heard some other kid cry. U know what happened? Golem Junior snatched another poor girl's biscuits n pour her cup of milo on the top of her head!!!OMGKNNCCB!!!!

That girl had wet sticky hair soaked in milo with bits of melted biscuits all over her head. And Golem Junior acted dumb while the other kids pointed at him. The whole scene was hillarious. I tried not to laugh cuz i din want the girl to feel bad n victimised. dahlah kena bully, the teacher laugh somemore.

Golem junior was alienated by his classmates the rest of the day for being the bully, he was exceptionally quiet n behaved cuz nobody wanted to talk to him. Reverse psychology worked again.

I don't remember much about how i was when i was younger, but i think things have changed alot. Kids nowadays dun wanna play in the garden anymore, they prefer to play PS, nintendo and XBOX. They also watch alot of Astro, and they have maids to wait on them hand and foot :( I had to learn to wash my own milk bottle when i was 4years old. (yalah, i still use bottle til i was four, so shutup.) Society has changed, for better or worse, it's up to our own decision to determine what will become of our actions.

Oh well, that's one of my most memorable moments of OTHER PEOPLE's childhood memories. Will tell y'all mine if i remember any WORTH sharing :)

til then.
