Blogging in the showers of rain

Last night I went to watch Maleficent with honey.
I can say Disney Production never fail me, just like they had put up another good show after Frozen.
After watching Mirror Mirror (Snow White), I thought I should watch Maleficent (Sleeping Beauty).
And I guess Frozen will make into a live action movie with untold stories say another 30 years?
Maleficent was awesome.
True love kiss?
Well, when we were younger, we used to watch cartoons and movies telling us true love kiss comes from handsome prince charming riding a white horse and falls in love at the first sight at the beautiful sweet maiden which eventually turns out to be a princess.
But then, after Frozen and Maleficent, true love meant more than that.
Have you heard love is in the air?
Perhaps, things in the air can come from anyone, anything or anywhere (own explanation obviously).
It can be a big sister, a godmother or anything... ANYBODY...
It could be YOU, yes, that's YOU, be my true love. (lol)

I watch trailer of Cinderella... retold story... soon... in live action... next March.
I wonder if there any chance they will remake Jasmine? Okay, it's kind of a bit difficult of different cultures and backgrounds perhaps... but I hope Disney will make it.
That's where my name came from.
(Yes, I watch Jasmine's cartoon in the old cinema under the bridge, which now became a desolated building which no one will take notice of it now.)
(All those old cinemas had been replaced by cold and big cinemas in the shopping malls with comfy chairs with cup-holders and popcorn holders and even couple chairs - that's what I just found out yesterday.)
Guess lifestyles had changed and so do true love. (lol)

转换

今天，课外活动开始，再次踏入熟悉的课室。
去年，也是在同一间课室负责课外活动。
但今天的感觉完全不一样。

已是完全不同的课外活动，完全没有关系的课外活动，大多数是我不认识的学生。
但，他们，实在亲切，就好象认识我很久了。谢谢同学们！

今天以前，我很害怕，因为我需要自己负责一个学会，从第一年开始工作，我负责的课外活动都是有同伴，至少一个。
也许我不是普通班的老师，所以会害怕一下子面对那么多“新”面孔。
当然，为了减少自己的恐惧感，我也做了些功课。
今天负责的是数学学会。
我希望同学们不是以上课的方式进行学会活动。
毕竟，他们从早到下午三点都在上课，三点过后的课外活动如果还是“上课”，他们真的很可怜啊～

我在网络上找了一些有挑战性的习题，让他们能动动脑，已同学们讨论，或向我发问问题。
不是有规有矩的，就是很简单却又有挑战性的问答方式。
也许对一些较差的学生不公平，因为的确对他们是难题，但我希望他们有胆量起来发问，而不是抄答案。

当然，一个简单的活动，我看见同学们都很用心。
我不在意他们是否写了正确的答案，毕竟我不是在赶功课、应付考试，我只是希望课外活动时间是他们的 FUN TIME！

最后，我叫同学去找我在学校的某个角落贴的一道数学题。
题目简单，就是要学生数一数图例很多很多的马儿，大大小小，坐的，躺的，站的。。。（这就是电脑设计的好处，我能任意拉大拉小，转来转去）
但其实，我自己也还没把正确答案算出来。
连出题者也没答案。哈～！

有两位特别认真的学生，也许他们真的要得到礼物，也许他们真的不甘心算不到。
学会结束后，我回到办公室收拾东西，他们来找我，要求改他们自己答案。
两个人都写了一样的答案。
看见他们那么用心，那么认真，我也希望他们的答案正确，我也希望能把礼物交在他们手里。

今天真的谢谢同学们都给了我机会，也许我不再害怕一个人担起一个学会。
从我一踏入课室，同学们的反应已减少了我一半的恐惧感。

蝙蝠俠

就是它！
就是它今天陪伴了我！
堵車時、傷心時、曬太陽時、玩手機時、等綠燈時。

這是好友車上的蝙蝠俠。
那天，我坐她車，它一直跌在我腿上，彷彿要跟我回家。
好友說，讓它暫時寄宿你車吧～
就這樣。。。這幾天都在我車裡。

不要讓它嚴肅的表情嚇壞了。
不～它不兇～
不～它不生氣～
不～它不冷漠～
它只是默默地看著我。。。
就這樣。。。也默默地看著你。

你忘了它嗎？
它不就是那蝙蝠俠嗎？

Music

What is music?

A string of melody line?

A sound or voice?

Or sounds or voices?

Music, an international language.

Everyone, despise of ages, cultures, backgrounds, ethnics, countries...etc. can understand the same one language -- music.

It can be singing, humming, or playing on instruments.

As I recalled, it was music that brought a mutual topic between us.

From instruments to OSTs... we found a mutual delightful conversations.

From there, we moved on.

I couldn't remember how suddenly music came into our minds.

It's just started from nowhere.

That's how music influence the society and community.

From nowhere, out of the sudden.

It was fun initially, then I started to have pressure, then arguments, then stress...

So, I choose to stop, to let others moved on.

I thought I shouldn't be a rock to stumble others.

But when I made this tough decision, I know, from the bottom of my heart, that might the end of everything.

That's why I struggled for months and months just to voice out this tough decision.

At last, I couldn't stand it.

I thought there will be a rejection instead of acceptance.

Since it was an acceptance, thus, that's the end.

But then, just a few hours ago, or maybe this morning, I thought I should visit this teacher before the ending of 2013.

I guess I should honour the teacher.

After all, teacher is always a teacher and student is always a student.

It was a beautiful ending of 2012 with music, I hope 2013 too.

我的南瓜车与玻璃鞋

放假时，如果有在本地，都会选择去上早上的课。
一面要恶补平常所缺的课，一面有较长的上课时间（4小时）。晚上的课都是两小时。
今早一到课室，老师说课室从昨晚开始停电，但竟然我已到了，就不打发我回去。
不然，老师是在忙着打电话叫同学不用来上课。
但因为我是准时的学生，老师来不及通知我（这是老师的称赞的话？？）。
因为停电，只好到阳台开始上课，那里才有足够的阳光和窗外的风。
我还告诉老师，我不要那么多阳光，因为皮肤过敏。@@

因为电路有故障所以导致课室导致停电。
修理声，爆炸声，谈话声，吓到声，电话声。。。种种的环境中，我终于还是顺利完成粘土花饰中级的最后一个作品（共有五个作品，原本这是第一个作品，我一直不是很喜欢它，所以拖到变成最后一个作品）。

这是老师的作品，就是课程规定完成的作品。

我在网上找到一张南瓜车蛋糕的图片。

因为我不喜欢跟别人一模一样，所以我想改一改我的南瓜，变成南瓜车。
*** *** ***
这就是我的南瓜车。

前面。

有玻璃鞋在旁边。

漂亮的玻璃鞋。

后面。

小南瓜。

其实我只是改一改花的颜色，加轮子、高跟鞋（我的南瓜组合跟老师的比起来，也是迷你版的），总之不是跟其他人的一模一样就可以了。
而且只要学到课程的技巧，改一改，老师也ok的。（不ok也拿我没办法啊〜〜哈哈）

*** *** ***

我告诉自己：粘土花饰中级完了，我要毕业了，粘土花饰很难，很花心思，很细腻，上课要很用心，功课也很多，花瓣都一片一片做的，50片、100片、200片，慢慢组合起来的。
但因为现在上手工课的时间，是从我起床到待在学校，几乎12小时后（上班+课外活动），再赶去上课，我真的无法再好好专心，体力、心理上都太累了，所以我想去体验不一样的手作，羊毛毡还是不织布？可能比起粘土花饰会来的容易些的手作。（不然又会被老师说＂第一天动粘土？第一天拿剪刀？怎么都不会做了？＂我对自己也感到很无奈，＂怎么都做不到了？＂）

友人说我＂疯了吗？怎么那么拼命？＂一个是责任（课外活动），一个是爱好，两个一样重要，一样不可以放弃不是吗？不能因为爱好放弃责任，也不能因为责任放弃爱好不是吗？

有一次，一位学生跑来告诉我，＂老师，你去约会吗？＂
我说：＂是啊〜我每个星期一都跟你约会，不要迟到噢〜＂
学生想了想，说：＂对噢〜二胡约会。＂然后就开开心心跑掉了。
只要配合一下小孩子的话题，大家都开心了，不是吗？

就好像，老师配合一下我想做的作品，从橱里给我找来了一只高跟鞋送给我，我也很开心啊〜因为我心目中要的能够实现啦。

*** *** ***

还有。。。还有。。。我觉得今天自己是个好学生，停电了，还呆一个人（学生）呆在课室四小时完成作品。
*好有成就感！！！*

sharing some fabric rosettes

Lately I'm quite into making fabric rosettes. I made them to match my working skirts. ^^*

Here they are... please feel free to give me any comments.

These are just hair-pins, not fabric rosette.

This is also hair-pin.

p/s: do you think they can be sell-able products?

Students' artworks

These were the foot-prints bees i taught the lower class students... they made their foot-prints on a big white sheet of mahjung paper while i helped them out with the "bee" parts.
They turned out not that bad, at least the higher class students could recognise them as bees.
As for the torn part of the paper, it was the naughty SD girl who torn the paper with her feet.
Oh yes... she always caused some problems during art class, not really cooperative.

***

As for these artworks, which were done by the higher class students.
I was teaching them teknik renjisan, percikan, lipatan on tissue papers.
I think each piece was special and unique, the colour effects after folded and opened up were far beyond imagination... beautiful! wonderful!
And my students enjoyed playing with the colours.

p/s: so do i.
