Today's another tiring tiring day for me. I had to be up early this morning because the teachers have to be in school by 8.20 a.m. to conduct P4 oral examination.
The night before, I thought I could go to bed early so that I will wake up feeling fresh and rejuvenated. However, my dear little Phoebe refused to sleep even until 11.30 p.m.! She was crying and throwing tantrum because she wanted her papa to show her the website of "Boowa and Kwala". http://www.uptoten.com/kids/uptoten-home.html She loves the songs and animation very much. I must admit that I too love this website because of its bright colours and variety of children's activity. That was why I had introduced this website to her since she was about one and the half years old. If you have little kids, do show them this website. They'll definitely love the cute characters - Boowa, the blue dog and Kwala the yellow Koala. :) I've even bought the plush toy for Phoebe ! :) See how much mommy loves you, little Phoebe :)
Maybe one of these days, I'll get the T-shirt for her too, if there's her size, Haha...
Oooh... I got carried away every time I talk about my bao bei little girl :)
Anyway, back to the oral exams... generally, I think the children are reading fine, except that all of them are reading in a monotone ! I'm not sure if it's a Singapore accent or style or the children are simply shy. There are dialogues in the passage but the children did not vary their voice to assume the persona of the characters. So sad... There're a few girls in my class that can read very well. I can hear them reading effortlessly in an animated manner when I conducted "Sound Bites" in class. I hope Phoebe will also learn to read that well next time :) Haha, me and my Phoebe again :)
Back to the oral exams again. The whole examination ended in one and the half hour's time (excluding the time wasted waiting for the children because of the first recess). I wish the oral exam started at 10.15 a.m. instead of 8.30 a.m. Even if the exam started at 10.15 a.m. we can still manage to finish it by 11.45 a.m. because we have 9-10 oral examiners! Then we do not have to come so early in the morning. Can you imagine that I have been working for about 11-12 hours today?!! It's too taxing for a pregnant mommy... *sigh* And worse still, my back is aching quite badly. I suspect it's because of my fibroid that's pressing against the nerves on my back... Poor me :(
It's the mid-autumn festival today. I hope I still have some energy left coz I intended to bring Phoebe down to the garden for a lantern possession with the rest of the little children. This will be her first time and I'm sure she'll enjoy it very much... If I still have the energy, that is...
Alright then, till next time I blog again, Bye !
