Farewell, kids!

As I always say, "people come and go", I've lost great people in my life one by one. I just lost my auntie. But time goes by, it's already a week. She'll live happily ever after in heaven.

Today is the last day I teach Leo and Kate. I felt so sad, but sooner or later, I got to choose. Actually I had decided to quit teaching since two years ago, because they were not listening to me. But everybody needs time to get along with new people, right?

Time flies, I get along so well, not only with the kids, but also their parents, maids, and baby sitter. The kids even had asked me this, "Will you teach me till we're in high school?" I just say, I don't know. When they heard that I'm going to stop teaching and that I had found someone to replace me, they gave me some responses in different ways.

Kate : Help me!
Leo : the only one who hear it is taking photos of us!

I felt sorry, honestly I don't want to quit. Which idiot will quit a job with good work, good place, good snacks, good people, and of course good salary???? It's me. Because I'm stupid (SS501's song), my brain is not working properly. I can't teach things I don't even understand. Why their school gives lessons in ENGLISH??? I hate it!

Biology in English
Physics in English
Math in English
everything in English

As good citizens, as written in Sumpah Pemuda : Kami poetra poetri Indonesia, berbahasa satoe, Bahasa Indonesia, why don't we use Indonesian? Aaaaarrrrgggghhhh

I realise, my ability in teaching such things is getting worse. I don't want to see they get bad score for their tests, and report card. Geez! So I quit and get them a better teacher. I hope the best for them.

There's always something good behind bad things. I quit teaching but I join a Chinese class. I got an diagnostc test yesterday. Guess what? I'll enter the basic class. Fortunately, they have a special class for adults. BASIC! I just can't imagine if they send me to basic class, the real basic basic class, you know, elementary kids.

I felt terrible when they send me to basic class (English course) when I was on Grade 5. My classmate were all on Grade 2. Physically, I'm the biggest in the class, and the oldest, plus the one who had worst English! It sucks!

Back to Chinese, I wish I can speak Chinese fluently, it's one of my dream. By mastering Chinese, I can contribute more in my temple, find work easier, or having a side-job as a Chinese language teacher. Who knows??

My bags for Chinese class. It sucks!
