Pain and Vain?

I woke up with throbbing headache and toothache this morning. It got worst in the evening. Not sure if it's the headache that caused the toothache or the toothache that caused the headache, or was it due to my new work stress. I had to take 2 tablets of pain killer after my dinner to soothe the pain. :(

The pain aside, something made my day at my working place. :)

This afternoon, I went into one of the classrooms during the children's lunch break. The children seem to like talking to me. A 5 year-old girl said to me, "Teacher (though I am not one), you very pretty. Tie your hair up like a princess, ok?" Then she touched my hair-clip and said smilingly, "Your hair-clip very nice." Another 5 year-old boy added, "You got nice long hair." Wow! So young already know how to flatter me? hehe.

Children are suppose to be innocent and truthful when comes to complimenting isn't it? Yes, I am really very tired since I started working at this new place... yet I am beginning to like those children, just like they like me too. I hope to settle the administrative issues quickly so I can have more time to visit these kids soon.

Children Magnet?

I managed to have a good rest last night and feeling much refreshed today. Suddenly, Public Holidays become so important to me now. :) Thanks to those of you who are concern for me.

The weather here is very cold now, making me feel as if I am in Australia during its early winter period. Overall, I feel good and peaceful, though tired by my new job.

Yesterday was only my 3rd day of work, but there were 2 new registrations... something I am very thankful for. It would be a miracle if there can be one new registration every other day... my dream. :)

As I did my devotion today, "Drawn By The Cross", I really see why the young children are drawn to me. I may look serious and firm before I open my mouth, yet once I begin to smile and speak with them I became like a 'magnet' that attracts them. That's amazing! I surprised myself too. :)

Through my eyes as a child - poem

Through my eyes as a child,
Play is work and work is play.
This I do from morning till night day after day.
For this is how I learn though I cannot say.
Even if it seems a waste of time to you
Please, please let me stay.
I hope you'll enjoy your work
just like I enjoy my play.

- Bee
