Since Sunday,
i've been sleeping alot less than the initial days.
5 1/2 hours...4 hours...2 hours...
Really exhausted.
Flared up at the slightest things.
The crazy idea of working two jobs seriously makes me cranky.
The only one who had to endure this all was fio,
thanks for being gracious.
However, i'm just bothered by some things.
We'll trash things out on tues.

Well,
for some who hadn't known,
i'm teaching English to a group of Korean kids,
and still keeping up my job at nydc.
Honestly,
i enjoy seeing their faces each morning.
I was tired,
but the smile on their faces,
simply made the fatigue fade away.

8 in total.
Woo Seong, Daniel.
Hee Won, Hannah.
Ju Hyeong, Paul.
Sang Woo, Ryan.
Jong Jun, Brian.
Jin Won, Andy.
Jae Won, Roy.
Sang Hyuon, Andrew.
It took me only once to remember their names,
whereas it was the teachers' names that i kept forgetting.
HAHA.

Jong Jun is kinda handsome.
pretty handsome kid for his age at 9.
When we were heading to the goat farm on Wed,
and he went like,
"Teacher, where are you from?"
"Singapore."
"Ah...Singapore...[Korean]"
"Teacher, how old are you?"
"20."
"20...er..yi ship(20)..?"
"yah.. yi ship."
Startled,
with big beady eyes he looked at me,
"Korean speaking??"
"chokum (a lil..)"
He was even more surprised.
Haha.
He then asked Sang Woo how to ask me the question.
so ending our conversation,
"Teacher, do you like Korean music?"
"Yup, i do. Chu a hae yo (i like)."

Today,
Jong Jun walked into the staff room.
We started conversing again.
JJ: (picking up the choco on my table) yi gor ju se yo (Give me this.)
Me: *shaking my head* An ni. (No.)
JJ: ju se yo..ju se yo!!!
Me *laughing* okay okay. Half half.
JJ: scissors.
Me: Scissors??!! *giggled*
JJ: *nodded*
Me: Shi gol (No.) You bite.
He bit and returned me a portion less than half.
He placed it on my palm,
sadded.
Then i looked to Jae Won.
and then the chocolate on my palm,
then him again.
Next minute,
he took the choco from my palm and popped it into his mouth.
I looked at the tinny-winny crumb on my palm,
sadden-ded.
Though they took my choco,
i was smiling away.

Sang Hyuon, age 6 of now.
The other teacher kinda slammed the door of the cabinet on his finger.
Hearing fragments of,
"are you okay??"
"don't cry."
I came out of the staff room and i saw Sang Hyuon.
He held out his tiny index finger,
and his face was flushed.
I walked over,
"Sang Hyuon, quen cha na (Are you okay?)?"
He shook his head.
"A po yo (Pain?) ?"
He nodded.
I blew on his blue blacked finger and assured him it's okay.
Pasted a handyplast with mickey on it.
Then before he left for home,
I stretched out my hand and went "Chai ga yo (Bye.)."
He then high-fived me and said, "Chai ga."

Honestly,
i'm having alot of fun,
and i'm enjoying lessons with them,
seriously.
I was still wondering on the first day whether i'll ever miss these kids when they return to Korea,
now i know that i'll miss them for sure.
I thank God,
honestly.
That i had an opportunity such as this.
I'm thankful for His love.

An additional random note,
I found out Aylwin's born in feb too.
And it's 2 days before mine!
Whoa.
Amazed.
He came by wheelock today.
Always doned in a white t shirt,
a pretty childish one today.
Oh well.
He never fail to bring a smile to my face.
=)
With that,
back to my terrible sleep routine.
Assuring everyone,
joc's really tired,
but i'm hanging in there.
Worry not ya?
God's here to support me.
