Flu days...

[My red nose]

Firstly, I really got to thank people who showed concern cos' of my previous entry. You guys are really my true good pals:) I am touched.

That aside, I am having my infamous flu. Like what dear would say, I am having rudolph the red nose right now.

Despite the fact that I was sneezing my nose and possibly my whole head off ever since four in the afternoon at the centre, rubbing my nose as if I want to rip it off my face (well, I was really tempted to, I tell you.), my eyes are so watery that I feel like I am crying, I am fine, really. Even though I feel like a wreck.

I feel so terrible that I can't do my work properly...I was so slow (mind you, I was only marking the children's work) that my dear Joie(a girl in my class) was telling me, "Teacher Joyce, faster do. Later you don't have time to finish."

Well, really, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. That was MY famous line. I always tell them that I will talk to them after I finish my work, and I always say I won't have time to finish my work if I stopped work to talk to them first.

So I told Joie that it is not that I want to do my work slowly, it is just that I am feeling so terrible due to all the constant sneezing and mucus coming out (GROSS!) that I have to stop to rest from time to time.

Dear Joie said, "Ok. But you must quickly do after resting ok? If not you can't finish your work."

I am touched. Really. It is good to know that not only my children are concerned about my work, they also developed the kind of gan chiong attitude that I have whenever I realised that I have a lot of work to do but I don't have enough time to finish it.

But what really made my day was this scenario:

Me: *Sniffs* "AH CHOO!!!" (Rubbing my nose vigorously and wiping away my mucus with a piece of tissue that Joie hands me)

Javier Tock: "Teacher Joyce, what are you doing?" (Appearing out of nowhere)
Me: "I am rubbing my nose cos' it's itchy and trying to mark your work at the same time."
Joie: "Shh...don't disturb Teacher Joyce, lah."
Me: "AH CHOO!" *Sniffs*
Javier Tock: "Oh...Teacher Joyce, you are very pretty."
Me: *Sniffs* "Huh?" (Continued rubbing my nose)
Javier Tock: "You are very pretty. My mummy say you are pretty. I say you are prettier than my mummy."
Me: (In a daze from all the rubbing) "Oh...thank you." [P/S: If you think I sound unappreciative, it's cos' I often hear compliments like this from the children. So for people out there who love to be complimented every single day, be a preschool teacher.]

Then as Javier was still standing there, continue staring at me as I rubbed my nose...his words clicked inside my head...
Me: "Javier, with my red nose, I am still pretty ah?" (Rubbing my nose continuously, eyes half closed)
Javier: "Yeah, Teacher Joyce, you very pretty." (Continue standing and looking at me.)
Joie: "Yeah, Teacher Joyce, you are very pretty."
Shermaine: "Nose red red also pretty."

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.....

I find that really sweet. I mean, children usually meant what they say, due to their innocence,....so who doesn't like to hear sincere compliments about them? Especially when you are feeling real lousy? Cos' I was feeling real lousy, both health wise and esteem wise, cos' really, red nose and droopy tired eyes are so NOT attractive, with parents walking in, I looked anything BUT professional.

But my children made my day. Who needs a boy friend to tell me I am pretty when I feel ugly(which he doesnt), when I have so many children, both boys and girls, staring at me and telling me I am pretty and nice and meaning it, despite looking like Rudolph the red nose reindeer?

They must love me a lot to say I am nice and pretty, cos' I never fail to scold them every single day.

I really love them..............as Shermaine put it, they are all my "k1 darlings". ^_^
