I was supposed to be on my way to "work" at the moment but returned home after I got a call from my girlfriend informing me the girl I am teaching had to visit the doctor today. So instead of today will be going over there tomorrow.
I have been there for 4 times now, the first 2 times I was there the girl started crying loudly for the first 30 minutes or so. Luckily after that she calmed down and we were even able to do some drawing together and did some puzzles. Was quite nice that during the drawing from time to time she even asked me to say the colours in English and then she followed what I said :).
The 3rd time I came I was a bit surprised that she didn't start crying at all. But ofcourse a pretty good sign, we did play some games, and watched some English cartoons on TV, and at the end we played a karaoke CD with some English children songs. Was really nice to find out that she could sing along very well with all those songs.
The 4rd time the girl was quite restless. We didn't really do anything productive, she seemed in a quite destructive mood, ripping up drawings she made before, throwing with her toys and cd's etc. After this time I really felt a bit frustrated, not really sure if I will be able to really teach her English....
But all in all, I really do think the girl is very cute. She does have an interesting attitude and really hope tomorrow will be a fun day again, where hopefully we can talk a little bit in English again! (do think it is quite hard for children to be mainly raised by a maid; in this case even 2 maids; think this can make children quite confused, e.g. strickt parents, a maid that doesn't really care too much in my opinion.)

She is so cute! Just tolerate with girl's temper, you can get over it :D
BTW, how are you? heard from Casey that your are not feeling well. Do come out more to do some exercise ;)
She is really cute, and fortunately the last 2 visits were really fun!
At the moment I think I am doing a lot better. Just think I have to change quite a bit. Since I came to HK I feel like I haven't really been myself. Always waiting for Casey to get back home, stuck in a job which I didn't like, often not understanding the world around me (chinese script and cantonese everywhere) and lack of motivation to really learn it properly...
So hopefully now that I doing something I like, and Casey being home earlier everything will be more enjoyable and therefore I will start feeling 100% again soon...
