Things Children Say #5

Girl: Can we hear that song that you let us hear that day again?
Me: What song? 
Girl: The one that goes sexy.
Me: Laughs. It's called Growl. 

Boy: Comes cuddle next to me while everyone is reading. 
Me: Why? Go read a book. 
Boy: Shakes head. 
Me: Thinks something is wrong and just lets him stay by my side. 
Boy: Takes a deep breath all of a sudden. You know what's the plant that you get after level 8? 
Me: Plants versus zombie again? 

Boy 1: Teacher, Boy 2 was playing and he held the ball with 2 hands and placed it in the goal. 
Me: Oh, tell him not to do that next time because it cheating. 
Boy 1: Okay. Runs back to friends happily. 
Boy 2: Heard his friend complaining to me and starts crying.
Me: Walks over calmly. Why are you crying? It's only a game and it wasn't right of you to hold the ball and place it in the goal right? It's okay. Stop crying and go back to play okay?
Boy 2: Tears spilling from his eyes.
Me: Do you still want to play? 
Boy 2: Shakes head.
Me: Okay, then do you want to sit down? 
Boy 2: Doesn't reply but lets me take him to the bench. 
Me: It's okay. It's just a game! 
Boy 2: Sobs. Mumbles I want to play with my brother. 
Me: Oh, you miss your brother? Shall we go peep into his classroom? 
Boy 2: Nods. 
Me: Okay, let's go. Then you'll stop crying okay? 
Boy 2: Peeps into his brother class, sees his brother and immediately stops crying. 

Had to help out in another class today instead of being with the class I was normally helping. 
Girl: Where were you? 
Me: I was in another class the whole day. 
Girl: Are you going home now? 
Me: Yes, it's 1 o' clock. 
Girl: Gives me a big hug. Then stretches out her arms and legs to block my way. I'm not letting you go. 

Hahaha. After spending about 6 weeks with this class of children. I'm feeling a little sad to leave. They've grown on me and I think we've gotten quite close during this period of time.

Korean Makeup: Etude House Rosy Tint Lips

After much debate and mental arguments with myself. I still decided to get this Rosy Tint Lips from Etude House. I couldn't resist and since I wasn't going to watch KMW anymore because the dumb organizers realized they couldn't handle the project financially and then canceled the whole thing I had the funds to buy it :> 

I got this in #03 Rose Petal for SGD $14.90. 


If you want to read a short review and how I used it, keep reading ^^

Kpop Song of the Week #7

In lieu of Super Junior's 8th anniversary this post was meant to be written and published earlier, this week's song of the week is of course a song by Super Junior ^^v *박수* 

Also, starting this week, if you have a song you'd like to see me talk about in these song of the week posts, leave a comment down below. It may be a song that you like or a song that you think deserves more attention ^^ Looking forward to reading your comments.

So for this week's song~ It is a Super Junior song but I don't think many people know about it or have heard it before. It's one of my favourite Super Junior songs as written in my special post for their 8th anniversary.

I did a short cover of it, so try to guess it! Although you can probably see the song title from the player.ㅋㅋ
