i found a new game on my laptop called inkball! (:

its fun! hahaha theres diff coloured balls n then u have to draw lines to direct it into the coloured holes -_- and not let the coloured balls go into other holes. and then there are more complications depending on the difficulty level but its too much to write. haha

the baby snake was scolded by the mama snake coz it was hopping and hurting itself..and told the snake that it should have eaten the frog -_-

n this is the last group.. (:

the frog was meant to play with the snake the next day but then its mama made it stay at home..and the snake came looking for the baby frog at the pond. lol this frog was reallyyy good. hahah. anyway yea the story was like something about...if they werent told that they could not be friends...whether they would still be friends lol. n they never saw each other ever again =(

- its funny how sometimes you would just do anything you can to leave a place, but when you finally do, you leave the people you love, go your separate ways and just wish for things to be the way they were before... -

“The personal, family and community contexts in which children grow up influence their development and learning. When teachers understand the diversity of these contexts they may be better able to provide conditions that enable all children to participate fully and achieve their potential.”

Students should use the reading and lecture materials for this subject (476 104) and identify a range of different social and economic conditions of children, families, and schools and communities that shape the contexts in which children grow up. Briefly discuss the influences these conditions may have on children's participation and learning in primary school, and briefly identify some strategies that schools or teachers may use in seeking to support the diverse needs of children and families.

i dont really know where to start researching for this essay. i don't even fully understand it. half and half. hmpfff!! lousy lousy!! at least its due on the 5th of april and i still have a while to go researchh and ask many qs =/ how many books and resources am I going to have to look through to find a range of children from different social/economic backgrounds. daymmm. but hrmm its quite fun. a brain straining task. im crazyy~ at least im slowly getting into this want to study need to study mood. haha hoh il spend like 2 hours in the lib on thurs haha after our free choc pancake breakfast at uni at 830am in the MORNING!! -_- and maybe on friday toos. grrr now i gotta get my head around my other subs =/

20070312

today in our ed1:children schools & society lect we looked at some of the diff reasons why some children would find it difficult to adjust to new school settings and structures. and i found it rather interesting how different kids react on their first day at school. i guess i slowly understand why some kids act the way they do. by the influences and the way their skills are developed at home and at their childcares. this subject i must say is one of the better ones compared to the others.

science and technology - no comment

society and environment has never been of a great interest to me so im finding it difficult to understand and learning how to teach it at the same time makes it harder.

drama is goood fun haha

math is okayy and not too hard. going back to primary school learning abt hundreds, tens and ones. lol

i dont know what im doing in uni man. so confused!! wuaaaa!!! somebodehh hellppp meeeee!! i want to hide under my table and sleep foreverrrr!! hrmmm might go out tongiht to watch fireworks since it was CANCELLED yesterday due to unpredictable weather and strong winds. pffftt!!! but so lazyyy! i got to eat fairyflossss~ ok nyaahaha this post is so pointless.. i have math test tmr!!!!!!!! basic skills test!!! no calculator hahaha theres gonna be many multiplications and decimals and fractions which i am pretttyyyy bad in. hoh wellls shall tryy my bestt if not i have 3 other more goes at it. if i dont get 80% at any i'll fail this sub this year.

20070308

rawrrrrrrr nic tagged me hahaha i have nothing to do and im bored so here goes =)

"Those who get tagged must post 6 weird things about themselves in their blog and state the rules clearly. At the end of the post, you must choose 6 other people to tag."

1- im starting to have a phobia of flushing toilets coz i think that the germs are going to jump out at me..so i either flush and run or close the top and flush... -_- its annoying..

2- im a little ocd in my own way...like when i was in empire and a little piece of corn fell out of jessica's bowl and i kept staring at it and eventually asked her to put it back in the bowl but she didnt and i felt weird...and...arranging sweets at like 7eleven when im at the counter..or boxes on supermarket shelves..gwad its too hard to explain haha

3- i dont have many guys friends because of a phobia that they will like me..so if i start getting close to guys i will distant myself in everyway that i can. ehehehe but i eventually get over that and they become one of the best people to talk to/hang out with..

4- i can stuff my face continuously for days and then suddenly not feel like eating anymore, like literally not feel hungry for the whole day and then realising that i havent eaten and i would feel like puking when i see fatty foods -_-

5- i love the smell of some cupboards and carparks..the ones that have like a certain...twang to it..haahahahhaha like...abit musty but not really but like dunno i miss it!! havent smelt it in so long =(

6- i duno what to write!!! ok i havent really gotten absolutely balistically mad at anyone before..and i dont have the ability to shout/scream/scold someone that has made me angry/upset. or i can forgive someone in like 5 mins and even give ppl too many chances when they continuously annoy and hurt me over and over again till im so so tired hahahaha ok pathetic. hrmm that sounds like 4 in 1..oh wells

hahaha now i tag... glenda, amy, alex, im trying to like not tag ppl that have been tagged..so hard!! -_- esther!! errrrr ok i shall just hav 4 AhaHahaHA and BELL

MWAAA love u my dearies =)

i dont mind when my parents lecture me..i mean they're my parents. but i dont really like it when other ppl do. its like okay..if u tell me not to drink/do drugs/smoke etc..thats fine..but like...watch out for the weather???? ok ok i know maybe just being caring but like..haiyaa. last time also..."i think you've changed...you shouldnt....etc" garhhhh actually not lecturing but it makes me feel like a little dumb dumb that doesnt know how to take care of herself, which i have enough of that and i dont need anymore of it. ah wells..il just smile n take it all in (:

i think i stuck a plaster on my finger too tight. but it works coz i dont feel pain anymore. like u know when u accidentaly jab something underneath your nail inbetween your meat and your nail and it separates them. yes pain wahh..so i taped it tight to keep it together but the tip of my finger is a little bluish now. =D

i saw my lausai yesterday hahah that sounds wrong and she did something FUNNYYY lol i shall not say coz she predicted that i would post it. hHEHehHe ok trying to post a vid on the dontlego site but not workingggg =( sooooo nighterrsss!!!!!!!!

20070306

rahhhh!!! first week of uni is nearly overrr~ still feels really weird sitting in lectures and going to tutes and walking arnd uni. still cant believe it. i feel old =( im trying to get use to printing my own lecture notes that are online and bringing it to class and having to listen to every word thrown at us.

im happy that everyone studying bach of edu has the same lects and stuff so our timetables are roughly the same. easier to go to classes and meet up after and have lunch together u knw?? oh and getting lost together hehe been having lunch mostly with the friends i met during orientation so its good. met a few others in my tutes and stuff but dont see them that often. it usually takes me quite a while to slowly warm up to ppl so hopefully i will in the next week or so (:

this week has been rather confusing to me, not sure what i have been learning and i just got my textbooks and reading stuff today sooo i gotta go back and read, read, read!! gotta work uberrrllyyyy HARDD!!! am aiming vely vely highhh! ok pics just to make this post a little interesting.

this is what we do during family dinners when we're bored
