One Inch Closer to babysteph

was out on an excursion with our school’s foreign pupils yesterday. i was in the organising committee. the trip was fun! i’m glad i was put in the committee. we teachers had more fun than some of the pupils, i think. haha, we r owiz very stressed up in school, and can’t behave like siao cha-bor in school, so yesterday, it was reli time to let down our hair. i think some of the pupils must be shocked to see teachers behaving in such a way they’ve nvr seen.

millie’s and my group won in the museum game, so we had ice-cream vouchers sponsored by May, thanks May!!! we brought 8 of the pupils to Andersen’s ice cream. there were mainly 2 groups of pupils under millie & i. the myanmars and the indonesians. they sat in their groups talking and sometimes yelling in their own language. u can feel that these boys r happy. itz like, u r in a foreign land, maybe fighting for survival, u meet a group of people fr your own country, there’s so much in common, u start talking in your own language, talking about things u r all familiar with.

i watched them talk, shout, laugh, in their own language. i didn’t understand a word they said. but i was full of emotions. very touched, 很窝心. u hardly see them so happy in school. seeing them so happy, i reli felt very happy too. later on i asked one of the boys, he said he felt very 亲切, to sit together with people from the same hometown and speak in their own language.
