In Cloud Nine

Yeah… I’m so happy today. What makes my day?? Over breakfast chat today, hubby has finally agreed to sponsor me to do my course in early childhood education. So so happy and excited, like a 19 years old just received a uni entrance letter. Must write down here, so that I won’t give up half way, so that hubby won’t change his mind of sponsoring me.

After so many years of “dili deleh” of wanting to do the course, I’m finally going to do it NOW. The brochures I have collected about the course by various colleges since 2003 has already become “kiam chai” and I have actually got a registration form a few months ago from this college that offer external studies, but since didn’t get a green light from hubby, so keep postponing it.

The course I’m going to do is a 1 year external study diploma course in montessori method of education. After getting the diploma, need to do 420 hours teaching practice to obtain the international diploma certification. (Try not to be too ambitious first, if can I want to continue with the advanced diploma and perhaps something more advance after that. Aahhh…can forget about IT and computer now, my original profession. A third generation from a teaching family, trying not to follow grandparents, parents profession but end up finding true calling in education. Ironic)

The beauty of doing this course now would be a win win situation for the kids and me. I can apply what I’ve learned right away on them, like a hands on, they are my guinea pig, my experiment. On doing the projects and assignments, I can get the kids involve, so they can learn and we can spent time together doing some “fun” things. Ooh..such a wonder. Have to do it now before I’m too tie up with another baby (if there is going to be one!!)

Going to fill up the form and get the relevant documents ready. Want to send out as soon as possible so that I can start the earliest possible. With this plan ahead, I will be spending less time in front of the pc blogging, surfing and being unproductive. Finally got to freshen my brain from rotting after a year without much outside interaction. I must work hard, for the kids sake, for our future and also for hubby’s hard earn money!! SUPERMOM, here I’m gonna be!!

Storyteller

I don’t always have my camera on stand by and many times I missed capturing the funny things that JS says.

The other night heard her reading the story by herself. When I got her to do it again for me, it wasn’t as good as the earlier version that she has said and the story goes backward.
