Stickers Galore!!
Mood: Sticky
I have just realised the magnificant magical powers of stickers.. Not only do they come cheap, they do wonders to a rowdy class. And you can even bribe a kid with stickers to make them behave.. but to the politically correct who stands by piaget's theories, its called rewarding a child. [i think its piaget.. cant remember with all this environmental awareness facts im going through.]
I was at Tamp and there is this bazaar beside the train station. I came across one stall that sells stickers that costs S$1 for 10 strips.. WOOT!!! thats freaking cheap!! they have powerpuff girls, spongebob, incredibles, fantastic four, superman, hello kitty, snow white, ultraman and whatever great cartoon characters we get nowadays.. but I refuse to let my class be contaminated with Barney and Friends.. he just looks... purple and green.
So now, i have stickey fingers from peeling all those to give away and to stick on their books since they get full marks for spelling seremban, kerikil and batu.
That reminds me.
I had to teach them about traditional malay games. So I introduced them to Congkak, Chapteh and Gasing.. This was how the lesson went.
Me: [drew a chapteh] siapa boleh beritahu cikgu nama permainan ini? Boy 1: Bulu ayam cikgu! Boy 2: Daun! Daun! Girl 1: Feather Duster cikgu!! Me: Salah salah salah... Cuba lagi. Matin: Cikgu, saya tahu.. Chapteh! Me: Pandai Matin. Ini chapteh. Ia diperbuat dari getah dan bulu ayam. [drew a Congkak] Me: Ok. Ini apa? Class: Goli cikgu!! Me: Salah! Cuba lagi. Boy 3: Lubang goli cikgu! Me: [speechless] Tidak.. Girl 2: Saya tahu.. Nenek saya ada. Congkong cikgu.. Me: -_-" Congkak sayang.. Ok Ok... Yang terakhir. [drew a gasing] Class: [Everyone scream... so jus imagine] Bay Blade!!!
Duh.. Of Bay Blades, Bulu Ayam and Lubang Goli... I rest my case..
