We were at the playground, and it's noisy with the kids playing and running around us. A grade one boy, Mike, came to talk to me.
Mike: Miss Ling, ... Emma (a grade two girl) ... kiss my cheek ...
Me: What? Why did she kiss you?
Mike: No, Miss Ling. She didn't kiss me. She wanted to kiss me.
Me: How do you know she wanted to do that?
Mike: I closed my eyes on the bus, she sat next to me and I just know that she wanted to hug me and kiss me!
Me: ... (Stop dreaming, boy!)

2 is better than 1
When is two better than one?
The answer is when playing Zookeeper. I can NEVER EVER complete the whole game, play through to the end without Adrian. It is so much more fun and exciting when he is also poking his finger in my iPhone. At that moment, I feel it's a truly really right choice to live with someone coz it does need four eyes and four hands to level up in Zookeeper.
If you are single, I doubt how long you can last before game over all by yourself.

Talking to kids
Me: Do you know who your new English teacher is?
Alain: Ms Chan.
Me: Right I happen to not teach you any subjects this year.
Alain: I know! (looks frustrated)
Me: (Smiles) I'm gonna miss you!
Alain: I miss you too, Ms Ling!
--
Me: If you are very good in my lessons, you will get a behavior ticket, and when you have collected 5 tickets, you can use them to exchange a gift from me!
One boy in grade 1 class: I can give you a gift too, Ms Ling. I want to give you a very nice eraser.
Me: (Surprised) Oh ... OK, thanks!
One girl: Ms Ling, I want to give you a candy.
One boy: I want to give you my snacks!
One girl: I will give you a new ruler tomorrow!!!
(They totally ignore the meaning of the behavior tickets.)
Me: Alright, class. Don't give me anything. Keep all your stuff and they are for children. And remember, be good and you'll have a behavior ticket.
One boy: It's OK. You can have my candy bar. It's not only for children.
One girl: Ms Ling, I still wanna give you a pencil ...
This is how the kids lose tracks of what you are talking.
Alain: Ms Chan.
Me: Right I happen to not teach you any subjects this year.
Alain: I know! (looks frustrated)
