cried for the first time in taiwan

I thought i can be strong enough, and i never teared when departed with my family, never teared when i reached airport and don't know where i'll meet the people here, never teared when we were lost on the way to the aiesec camp in a remote area with no lampost all the way and it's freaking scary, never teared when i got mosquitoe bites all over my legs and arms and it's ultra itchy and the red spots don't dissaper, and never teared when i gotta carry my heavy luggage all the way up to 3rd floor and all the way to take buses..but i teared when i told daddy i miss them all in the email. A rush of emotion got me uncontrollable. I just started to cry in front of the computer in the library, my new office, with me alone...

I stopped myself, telling myself i gotta learn to be a strong, and independant girl. I gotta start to grow, to be an adult, and not a baby anymore,lol. The students need me, and i need to learn to be a good role model to them. I'll learn, and i gotta have trust in myself.

I can do it!!! I gona work hard and strike for the best~ I gona break through the pupa that hugged me tight in order to be a beautiful butterfly which flys elegantly in the sky ^^

kids talk

Played basketball with the kids when i had no class. Saw them laughing and having a good time, so decided go go over to take some pics of the cuties. Then they came to me and we started talking. And i asked if the can teach me basketball, because i don't know how to play AT ALL,lol. Am phobia with big balls, haha....

They taught me where to stand and how to shoot. And i did tried a few times. When i got it in, all of us were screaming and jumping, including me of course,haha. When i failed to dunk, they told me "It's ok", "Try again", "Never mind", "It's nearly done"..... wao wao wao, this really warms me up. Their words, from the mouth of the kids, trying to motivate me, is touching. Since when we've all forgotten to tell others and ourselves "try again" and "never mind" when we faced failures? I think we are too afraid to fail, thus we have no guts to go beyond our limit and out of our comfort zone.

And here I am, spending my time with the lovely kids of two schools...

I wish the days here will be a fun and memorable ones^^

and i started to miss home.....and my teddy....and my bed....

A journey of self discovery

Am going to taiwan soon. A trip of self discovery i should say.

From the 1st day of preparation, I get to know myself better. What is my strength and what is my weakness. When searching for the materials for teaching, only i realized that i already forgot how to play 'gasing' and 'wau', and i missed my childhood terribly, how good is it if i can play all that with my friends and family again, like i used to,lol. Only then i realized i don't really know my country that well,haha. I didn't know the exact lyrics of 'Rasa Sayang', and had to google it =p I've prepared some pictures, bought some postcards with images of Malaysia, and even tried out on piano by myself for the harmony of 'Rasa Sayang', and hope that the kids there will enjoy the learning I'm going to bring them.

Wonder how much can i give and leave in their little heart and soul. Will they remember that when they was young, a Teacher Sharon had once told them something that they'll remember for the rest of their life? lol... Hope i'll teach them good stuffs, not bad ones...need to control myself, no foul words should be said in class, oops,haha...


I've packed my suitcase, and am ready to rock Taiwan,lol.... Hunks, here I come!~

Gona take lots pics and share on fb with my friends..

Take care evryone, and keep in touch!!!~
