Two Hearts

1/3 of the final phase!

Finally, I have made it to 1 month, which left 2/3 journey. 

Yes, there were days when things get so challenging, not just on the unending workloads every night but attending all the words poured in the classroom. It is a great challenge to listen to all the pupils' requests at one time. I wish I could just attend one person or few souls at a time, but no, I have 38-40 pair of eyes to look after in the class, not to mention things outside of the classroom. Though it is just like one hour per day, but still it is not an ABC task. Yet, looking on the positive sides of everything, it always motivates my heart to see their spontaneous and pure acts. It wipes away all the tiredness and moans inside. For the two months journey left, I hope that I could leave something that is not just meaningful for their learning but also lasting for their souls. 

It really amazed me to see how those teachers stand firmly at the teaching line for so many years. Their souls must be the 'unbreakable' ones after all those times and I hope I could be like one someday.

DWAYG Season 1

Finally, the first season of Appa Odiga has ended. Tons of memories made between the father and the child. 55 episode all together. This show does not only highlight the journey travelled together but also the relationship between the dads and children that grow along the way. The playful and cheerful nature of the children always entertain the heart. At some points, there are honest inner voices portray by them which shed some tears. I hope the next season will carry the same positive vibes as what the first season had reflected. Appa Odiga daebak! ;)

My Prayer

"Father, I said till
Death do us part
I want to mean it
With all of my heart
Help me to love you
More than I love him
Then I know I can
Love him more
Than anyone else

And bring him in
Your presence today
Make him what
You want him to be

This is my prayer Amen"

The Art of Therapeutic

I had never realised that the therapy session could be a powerful medium of expression. For the last two days, we had been experiencing different types of therapy and even soaked into tears. The first session conducted was the Art Therapy. I did not intend to draw and colour things up to highlight some  of the events in my life. However, it was done unconsciously. There are lots of underlying messages behind the drawing even on the slight details. Though the interpretations could be a subjective one, but they are all closely related to my life. For the next four therapies, they were centred around different themes but related to each other: self, family and friends. They were not just conducted for us to understand the whole process, as the skills are useful in the teaching world, but also give us opportunity to express our inner feelings and emotions. It touches down to our souls.  

The sessions held also triggered us to do something that we seldom do especially in expressing love towards the people close to us. For sure, love could be express in different ways. But sometimes, it needs a kind of affirmation. It is easy to say 'I love you' to the person we love or our friends, but it will be awkward to say so with our parents especially when it is never practised at all in the family itself. I took the opportunity to do so, and it was kind of funny that my mother started to ask lots of questions, to ensure that I am okay or not. Don't worry mum, your daughter is super fine! ;)
