First Week of My New Job
Hiya! 
So fast … I have been starting my new job for a week now. Although it started off with a very busy week, I really enjoyed my first week of my new job.
It was a busy week coz it was the payment week. Parents were supposed to pay school fees by the 10th of every month. Therefore, we encountered a great number of parents who came to the centre to pay their children’s tuition fees. As I am involved in the operation as well, I also have to handle all these besides answering calls (u know, customer service thingie) and some admin work as well.
Of coz I’m involved in teaching for the education side. Currently I am given opportunities to be involved in 1-to-1 teaching sessions before undergoing my teaching training. But then on last Sunday, I was asked to relief for two Primary Maths classes - P1 and P4 (coz the teacher was on MC last min and they couldn’t find replacement). Though I was feeling a bit nervous at first (coz basically I didn’t even have enough time to prepare and I could only briefly go through the notes and worksheets on the topics that I needed to teach), I managed to stepped into the class calmly, faced the students and started teaching the lesson. The best part was that I NEVER ever thought that I actually enjoyed the whole teaching process when the students were responding to what I was saying and was paying attention to my lesson. I didn’t know how to describe that feeling but it was just great! Well, I’m not implying that I’m expert lah; there are still more for me to learn and I believed it was just my luck that day that the students were coperative. But anyway, small kids are not so bad after all coz I always thought I’m not the kind of person who can interact well with small kids. Looks like I’m wrong; they are actually quite easy to communicate with as long as you get their attention I hope I will continue to have this passion as I will be going for my official teaching training soon (and subsequently a test before I can be officially be known as a ‘teacher’ … Ms Kong, the teacher … hehe!).
On the other hand, my new colleagues were great. Though they are serious at work, they (including my immediate superior) are not a bunch of passive people and they will never leave me behind. Next week we are going to have a BBQ gathering (outside of working hours of coz!). Can’t wait!
