I was at work on Tuesday¡Kso beautiful day. I was sent to my previous placement, where I did my practical last year. There, this lil girl that was in my room last year, speaks in cantonese to me and said ¡§ are you Sonja?¡¨

I said: ¡§Yes I am¡¨

She says: ¡§I am in Kinnder room now.¡¨

I: ¡§I know, you are a big girl now.¡¨

She says, ¡§Yes, will you come and play with me in the kinder room later?¡¨

I said: ¡§Well, I don¡¦t think so today. You are going to go and have a rest soon, and I

             need to do work today.¡¨

She thought for a lil while and says, ¡§can I make you a cup of tea then?¡¨

I said to her, ¡§Of course.¡¨

She was then busy making tea in the homecorner, while I was sorting out the washed equipments into trays in the next room.

Then, I said, ¡§what kind of tea will you be making? Is it Wu-Long tea or Tit Kut Yam?¡¨

Then, she thought for a moemnt, before saying, ¡§No, this is orange juice.¡¨ She handed me a tea cup, and I drank it.

She said, ¡§is it good?¡¨

I replied, ¡§ good, thank you.¡¨ She went on with her play.

This lil girl have apparently asked if I were coming back even after I left my placement for one and a half month. =)

Later on, a boy who I was taking care of last year, came into the room where I was and spoke to me in English, he puts on a smile and greeted me, ¡§Hi.¡¨

I replied saying ¡§Hi J, how are you?¡¨

He said to me, ¡§have I seen you before?¡¨

I said, ¡§Yes, you have. I¡¦m Sonja. J can¡¦t remember me?¡¨

He smiles and started to spoke to me in Mandarin, ¡§Yes I do.¡¨

I asked him, ¡§how¡¦s A?¡¨ (A is J¡¦s older sister)

He smiles as he explains to me what his sister, mum and dad are doing.

Just like to share it with you all, as I was just talking to a friend about how most children can¡¦t remember their kinder teachers, some however do, if it has affected them a lot. I was quite sad after disccussing this matter with my friend just last weekend!! And, bravo!!! I just like to say that children are so cute!!!You should have been there! Did I also say that I love what I do? Cause, if I haven¡¦t I love what I do!!

Sorry, I can¡¦t disclose the children¡¦s name.

Hope you have a great chinese new year, we kick off cny with Siu Mai for breakfast!
