watercolour #82

been doing a lot of drawing lately
because jacky bought me a set of water colour pencils
it been fun
cos you draw something mediocre
then with a brush strategically wet it
and it looks
SO
much better
:)

also, jacky bought me a set of expensive faber castell ones
and well there wasnt enough colours
so i bought a box of cheap ones
and theres more colours
but you can easily tell which is which
the cheap ones
though they claim to be 'soft'
are really hard
and they leave dents into the paper
when you draw
which defeat the purpose
cos when you wet it
you can see where you've drawn
but the good ones
they're so much softer
and better to blend when wet

i drew a gum ball machine today
which all colourful gum balls inside
i think its cute
but yes
i'd take a pic to show you but
its late
and i can't be bothered

:)

kiddiessss #39

yes. sorry.
i majorly screwed up the days/posts
making up for them now.

so, well at church i teach sunday school
and the class i teach is class 2,
which is kids from grade 1 to grade 3
and well last year
i had like 4/5 grade 3 kids
and 3 grade 3 kids
and the older kids would just totally dominate answering the questions and things
and show of their reading skills and whatnot
but now this year the older kids have moved up to class 3
which is grade 4 - 6
meaning i have 3 grade 2 kids
and i taught them for the first time this year
and its friggin awesome
:)
like they all talk now and answer the questions
and want to read
like last year, i would have to go up to each of them individually
to check that they know what they are doing
in puzzles and things
but now its great.
i was so happy after i taught them yesterday.
i love my new class.
not that i didn't love my previous class
but you know, i like this better.

though another thing i'd like to mention
after a year of teaching kids
the best way to get kids entertained
give them something to colour in.
seriously, i'd be teachin them
and they'd ask, 'can we colour now?'
haha, its the best and hardly any mess
(as opposed to crafts)
the only thing you need to do is to sharpen pencils for them
:)

though one things i'm sad about
i asked the kids how old they were yesterday
and they're all 6/7
and then i asked how old they thought i was
and jasmine (one of the kids) said i was 27
27!!
:(
lol.
