Cottlesloe Kumon

I seem to run out of titles for each blog entry. Cottlesloe Kumon shall it be since its my 1st day at work there. I took a bus and got to scotch college at 3 pm. I thought I immediately found the place. I asked the reception there where the music centre was, and they told me to go upstairs. I went up one level and saw a few music rooms, exactly the ones that I saw in Yahama and Christofori. Can you imagine? A music centre in a school! Cool! If only sec schs in spore have that. Anyway, I went up to the music hall. It was like the hall of my sec sch, only a bit smaller. NO one was there and I found it quite weird. I called my supervisor and told her I was at the music hall. She says that I am not there cos she is there already. Then I realised I went to the wrong school. It was supposed to be scotch junior school. She gave me the directions, and being the smart girl I think I was, I went via a short cut. I reached the Junior School but it was so big and I just couldnt find the music school. I called the supervisor again and told her what I saw. She told me to walk straight on. While walking along, I saw many bags being hooked along the corridor. Apparently, all the pri sch kids there carry the same school bag. I wonder if they know which bags theirs is. Anyways, I followed the directions and got to keys house, a boarding house in that school. Kumon is oppp the house, but no matter how I walked, I couldnt reach the music room. I then walked out to the main room. Talked to my supervisor for 2 mins but I still couldnt get my bearings. So I decided to follow her directions as she said, and I walked one whole big round again. Alas, after 5 mins, I found that place. The music room is huge, like twice the size of my music room in my secondary school. I immediately fell for that place. I saw an electric guitar with an amplifier, and a 5 piece drum there. Mind you, its a primary school. THey learn drums and guitar there? I wish I had done my secondary school at scotch college. Damn. To think I have such a hard time finding a drum school, or a music school for that matter of fact in Perth, as there are little and all out of the way. I finally saw my supervisor. She's defintely friendlier and more easy going than my current supervisor at dalkeith. THere I met this assistant, Nick. He is so cute. Alas, one cute guy from where I work... and I later learned that he's a writer (wow, I bet he must be this emotional and good looking guy that would melt my heart). Anyways, (haha, I cant help but deviate) he introduced me to the other assistant whom I am supposed to replace (Shucks, I cant rem her name. She's doing engineering in UWA and knows some of my engineering friends too. Kumon cottlesloe has more australians and my 1st kid was an australian boy. I think he's only 3 or 4. WHen I took him, he was crying and he was telling his mum how tired he was and how he didnt want to do anything. THe other girl and I had to comfort him and tell him not to cry. Poor boy. When I was left alone to deal with him, I told him that I was tired too and there are 2 people doing work together now. He smiled when he heard that. Woo haa! Now I could slowly coax him into reading words to me. It was quite challenging though, becos everytime he read or wrote something, he would tell me things like "I'm going to a party later"Haha, he's sooooo cute. I had to push him to do work as his mum told us to get his class work done in half an hour's time. Nevertheless, it was all good. There werent as many ppl as there was in Dalkeith. Didnt feel so presurized. Ended early as I was the only one that took the bus. I didnt even have to pack up.

I like Kumon Cottlesloe everything. A cute colleague, drum sets and electric guitar which I would love to play like 30 mins before kumon starts? haha and cute, although challenging students. Cant wait for next tue :)
