well, i have been working in this kiddie place named Kumon, which most of u have heard of it before, its blue signboard or logo with the word kumon with a semi-smile face as the letter "o". i think it can be considered as a tuition center with a different method of teaching and training children. so they usually hire part timers to mark worksheets as the children come into the center for classes... many of my frens worked in kumon as part timers before, and thats also how i got to know the existance of this part time job, tru the sharing of the gud ol'buddies of mine bout digging money from ground, from all sorts of ground....
so, i've been working in kumon since the starting of my sem break in may, and plan to work for the rest of the holidays which end at the end of june, 2 full months of money digging... i worked on tues n thurs nite in may, hoping to get to work more hours to get more money.... den i've got wat i hope for, a full time staff just quited, so i was asked to stand in for her to juggle up the work around in the place, hehe, and so i get to work everyday now, which means income everyday ~~!! do i sound like a freak cuz of being so happy bout getting more work..... i do feel abit freaky tho, but wat the heck, dats wat im feeling, happy to have sumthing to do~~!!!
well, what actually makes me so looking forward to each day work is that, first, i get paid by just sitting down in an air-condition room with comfortable chair and good lighting, marking worksheets according to answer books that are provided, isn't dat just so so simple ? no date line, no pressure.... bt maybe just abit of pressure when the kids stare at you while u are marking their papers like what wyn nie said... different kinds of reaction i see from the kids, they'l take back their worksheets with a kinda dissapointed look when they see a mistake ticked or they'l secretly jump for joy or a soft yet enthusiatic shout of "YES!" when they get a 100% chop for having no mistake in their class work, cute !
secondly, it's the kids ofcuz ! they are so cute~~!!!
they are cute, funny, unpredictable, submissive, small size, etc... the 1st day i worked, i saw dis small boy, fair skin, with a small face, such small that i think i can cover it with my palm, with small spec, to my approximation, the spec shld be around 10cm from one end to one end, he is just CUTE, fullstop. besides him, there are more, most of them are cute cute cute !! there's t
his one of my favourite, (got favourite ranking of kids sumore...) she is a malay, everytime i look at her, she will smile at me with her small little teeth coming out, its everytime okay, she never fail to not smile when we have eye contact, haha !

his one of my favourite, (got favourite ranking of kids sumore...) she is a malay, everytime i look at her, she will smile at me with her small little teeth coming out, its everytime okay, she never fail to not smile when we have eye contact, haha !many more la, some are shy, dare not say much, some are talkative, sumtimes kena 'za' by the kids when we say sumtime wrong, paiseh... some are very semangat to finish their work, none stop writing, some wanders of in their mind entah pergi mana, see here see there, see nails, see eraser, see pensil, see us part timers marking worksheets.....
but one thing that i actually learn from them, it is that the children are submissive, submit to older ppl whom they trust on for wise and good decision.. seldom can i see this characteristic in people that i know, frens, and all... they willingly accept the mistakes that they have made, they will not argue bout it, trusting us that we are right, and carefully look tru it again and do the corrections. if it were to be us, i thnk most of us will have a mindset dat says: "i do correct wat..., she must be wrong la, let me look again then see how can i debate with u and see how wrong u are."
the children trust with faith so easily and undoubtly, isn't that just what we ought to be in order that things may go well with us ? =)
