The First Month at Sheffield

Wow, in a blink of eye...its been almost a month here in Sheffield, UK. Time really flies uh. One thing for sure, UK is a good place for exercise. We practically walk everywhere and everyday, that's the only transport we have! Not to forget the summer sales shopping at Meadowhall. Everything seems so tempting, like in the shopacholic movie! Argh, control control...

I haven't really found a spirit-filled church nearby yet. Went to one of the traditional churches in Sheffield. Now I get what the "Christian Mind" is all about. No wonder some of my seniors backslided after coming to UK.

I have to keep my focus on God, if not, you wouldn't be surprise that I could backslide too, which I do not want to. I need to get back to Malaysia, to CHC, to cell group...oh ya, thanks to Gordon for the praise n worship songs :)

Here are some glimpse of the events in UK...

Earth - our transit

God is a God of JOURNEY.

We are born on this earth for a process.

Take for example: you bought an air ticket which brings you to London for a business meeting. In the meanwhile, your flight will transit and stop in Dubai for some time. While in Dubai, you prepare and equip yourself for your meeting in London. Your final destination is London, but your transit is Dubai.

This is the same for our lives! Our destination is Heaven, our transit is on Earth. We cannot just lay back and do nothing here on earth!

What are we doing here? What is our purpose?

Friends, let's be dilligent; be excellent in whatever we are called to do.

Let's do and achieve greater things for God. Amen.

TADA! Real sad case laa...sigh, poor little doggie! Kena meowed by a cat...

pets are like part of my life. they are simply amazing!

reg-cookietimes is still alive and kicking...

I know, I know...my blog is kinda dead. But don't worry, I'll surely update it more often , especially when I'm in UK (June-Oct). teeheehee...

Oh ya, thanks to everyone who congratulated me on my final semester results. Praise God! But sometimes I feel like I have to act like a victim in order to console my classmates, since many of them did not do too well. (Next target: CLT exams this sat)

Facebook...facebook...I always wonder how did I ever convinced myself to sign up? sigh, can't remember. Anyway, I'm still in the process of getting the rhythm of it. So, yeah...just wait and see what happens next! Don't forget to add me!

I've been employed in Kumon centre (Kelana Square) two weeks ago as a part timer, teaching mathematics and a little bit of english. (Working hours: 9am-10pm) Erm, not exactly teaching...the word we are supposed to use is 'guiding'. Kumon's philosophy is independence. We do not spoon feed the kids. They will just come in anytime convenient for them, then do their classwork and pass up their homework for us to mark.

Sometimes I feel quite confused as to not being able to discern when I should so called 'guide' them and when to pull back. When I leave them alone to do their work, the principal will ask me to walk around and see if there is any need. When I walk around and correct the kids when they count wrongly, she will spot me and quickly shoo me back to my seat, and leave the kids alone.

Confused. Frustrated. Extremely blur. (Although I don't act like one)

Anyway, its just my nature to interact and build relationships with the kids. Some are really smart kids, but some are just simply trying to take advantage of you. A 5-year old boy came up with his own maths formula of counting fast. Its not Kumon nor Mental Arithmetic method. Brillant! A primary 6 girl thought that she was so smart that she could make me fall into her trap. But too bad, through experience...I could read her mind. Fyi, I found out that she's not that smart after marking her worksheets and found numerous mistakes.

Well, I can say that the best moments in Kumon are when there are kids around. Although some are super naughty, but generally, kids brightens up my day! On the other hand, the worst moments are when we (teachers) are left alone with the principal in the centre without any kids. Nightmare!

Kids are adorable only when parents/adults use the right disciplinary tools in the right way and right time.

Children are the best gifts from God. The more the merrier. AMEN!

W-O-O-H-O-O!

Woohoo! Final sem results!
Yes, I can go UK, finally! (well, that's just the first stage)
Whee!
