After that totally depressing blog entry, I had the best day with my class on Tuesday. We went to Sentosa and the whole class was really psyched about it. We had been planning this since 1 month back and my class was really excited cos no other teacher had ever brought them out cos no 1, they are supposed to be this really naughty and unmanageable class, and no 2, teachers cant be bothered most of the time. But I really wanted the class to bond not just with each other but with me and Chan, and since it was the school holidays and my bday as well, the whole class decided to have a class trip to Sentosa.

And did we have a blast. We played ball, badminton, swam, sun tanned, ate, laughed, played cards, talked, joked... And then we went VIVO city for early dinner and the babies surprised me with a birthday cake! A 3kg birthday cake!! I was shocked that they would be so extravagant! A 3kg bday cake from a nice cake shop at Vivocity probably set them back $100. My class has a lot of underprivileged kids and the fact that they are willing to spend that amount of money on me is just heart warming. And all 35 of them chipped in. One of my boys said, ' Miss Khai, you are loved by the class and this cake has 35 hearts in it. You love us and we want to show you how much we love you as well.' Something along those lines. Sweethearts right? I swear, my heart melted. And I totally don't understand how some teachers can condemn them to the lowest level of damnation, I swear. But maybe cos they like me, so they are nice to me. But still, the fact that they have the heart to show so much care and love for me, must mean something isn't it?

Anyway, by the end of the trip, I was a happy camper. I was smiling and even though I was exhausted and had a full day workshop the nexy day, I was really happy.

Here are the pictures.

I love my job...:)
