GoodBye J3AM
Friday, September 20, 20137:21 PM

I was heartbroken when I was inform that I may need to help out in the afternoon session. It was the first time I ever felt I had my own class to myself (aside from Joraine). A class of my own where I had subjects to teach, lesson to plan, discipline and love them like my own. Can you imagine having a class on your own, what joy it brought me for couple of months? The minute I saw their teacher back from her long MC, I knew it! I knew that I wouldn't be needed to help out the class anymore.

Today was my last day in the class and as I stood at the corner of the class, observing them, I told myself I would miss them dearly and would make it a point to come early to see them on a weekly basis to drop and say 'hi'.

Students in J3AM:

Roy Hong: The most mischievous yet the most adorable boy. He always greets me with a big wide smile and calls me every now and then. He enjoys holding my hand and hugging me. He enjoys hugging me every now and then. I was taken aback when I was talking to a teacher when I feel someone holding my hand, then i realise Roy was holding my hand because he was being scolded by another teacher. On teachers' day, teachers were asked to choose a student from our class whom we want to receive a flower from and Roy came straight to my mind. When it was my turn to receive the flower from him, instead of looking at the camera and giving me the flower, he was posing with the flower like as if the picture of taken because he won an award. How Cute!

Ethan Loo: The Mr Why. Always asking me why each time when I told him to listen to me. His favourite thing to do in the class? Playing with the table. I was amaze on his small built, he was able to turn the table upside down but panic when he wasn't able to put the table back. I would give him a warning look but instead of feeling afraid, he gave me a big wide smile and ask me, 'why?' 'what i do?' When the table was being taken away, he lean against the next table. He loves to sing 'Oh McDonald had a farm' everyday. He has the tendency of not tucking in his PE uniform he wears everyday and have to be reminded each time. Parrot of the class. Copying every single thing a teacher ask him to do something. At times, I thought the class actually keeps a pet parrot. Ethan Loo is opposite from his parents. Yes. He looks just like his mom and he doesn't seems to inherit his mother's frown. Unlike them, he smiles at everything. Informing his mother about what he ate in school is just as scary as the principle.

Jimmy: What can I say about this boy? He is the only non vocal student. As he is not able to talk, he makes baby noise every now and then. Just like Ethan, he plays with the table. This is the student whom I have to be careful with as he tends to get aggressive. He bites, he scratch and he pulls hair. I have so many scars on my hand and apparently, I am not the only one. Visiting the toilet every 40 mins is a must for him and he tend to pee in his pants without knowing or worst, pass motion! He seems to have so much water in him. He loves the water and each time when he passed motion and I had to rush to find the toilet auntie, he rush into the shower and play with water. Crazy day of my life!

Jia Wei: The brightest boy in the class. Each time when we visit the library no matter whether in molly bus or Civic Centre, he never fails to look for me so I could read him a book. He enjoys learning new things. He is the second parrot in the class, he always tells his classmates what to do and tend to talk to himself. Unlike Jimmy, he is the most vocal. Jia Wei tends to inform either me or Joraine about Roy beating him today when it happen days ago. Separating Roy and Jia Wei is a must as Roy tends to kick and beat him and Jia Wei's parents tends to overreact.

Sudrassan: The second brightest student in the class. Speaking to him loudly and slowly may be needed at times because of his hearing aid. He is a quiet boy and listens well to the teachers and looks after Jimmy well. He enjoys learning new things.

Nabil: A quiet boy. He always avoid eye contact with anyone who talks to him. Though it takes time for him to absorb new things, he is best when it comes to drawing. I was so amazed at his drawing. Way better than mine if I could say so. I received a teachers' day card from him with a drawing of him and me at the front page. He is able to write and know his alphabet well but not when it comes to spelling.

Emily: The day dreamer. Emily is the next brightest student in the class but she tends to lose her focus. She is the least focus student and seems to be amaze outside of the class. She always look after Jimmy.

Izzati: What can I say about her. A well-behave girl. She listens well in class and never fail to ask for help.

Eryan: The mischievous boy. He always has things up his sleeves. Just like any other ordinary malay boy, he likes to make noises in the class by banging on the table and chair.

Jing Hui: The smallest of them all. Another bright students. She listens wells during lesson but needed to be reminded on her sitting position. She tends to get moody when it comes to end of school but cheerful at the beginning of school. She greets and smiles and even hi-5 her teachers each morning.

Ridzwan: Coming to school may not be one of his favorites due to this poor attendance, but he enjoys singing and dancing and is able to remember dance step during a short period of time. He loves giving his friends and teachers heart shape with his fingers. He takes a longer time to drink and eat his fruits during snack time because he doesn't enjoy them.

Judith: Little Miss Kpo. Always asking her friends to do things while she herself ain't doing it. Just like Ridzwan, she doesn't enjoy eating fruits and would whine each time when I told her to eat fruits.

Nicole: A bright student who smiles and laugh all the time. Though she is slow in alot of things like taking out her communication book and her snack out from her bag, she puts in effort.
