I am "close" to both of them and then, i am like trapped inbetween them... this is SIANZ X 1000000.... Hope they can patch up soon. Wat happend if they continue like this and then, whamp! They go to the same school later.. God knows wat will happen then. But if tat;s the case, don let me be in the same sch as them. I will die a terrible death.
Recently taken up 2 more tuition assignments. Caluculated the amount. Haha.. Quite a substantial amt. I am kept so busy with all these tuition and sch stuff. Tired but contended.
Lean onto the Father's arm and you will enjoy peace ever after.

Starting of a new week
Its the start of the new week today. Don know why the hell I woke uop so early for. I think i will go back to slp ltr, haha....
Last fri was damn depressing. Hope that this week will be much better. Today will be e-learning for the P4 and 5s. Which means, I get to hav the day off coz my P3 class is onli one period today! Yeah!!! Can have more time to do my lesson plans and teaching resource. Thank God for the extra time.
Over the weekends, I finished all my markings. Hiaz... Don think its easy hor, actually quite difficult. One word, the kids can find so many different ways to write it wrongly. And this is a good class somemore, future GEP class. Wonder how the poorer class will perform.
Kinda like my lifestyle now. Morning go school, afternoon try to sneak in some time to do marking or sleep, evening go tuition. This routine goes on for all 5 weekdays. Hahah... Not bad. Time flies like no one's biz and it kept me busy. Helps to save $$$ too as it involves earning $$$ and not spending it. Working out my lesson fees, I realise that it goes up to $1.1K. Now hope to get a Sunday early evening tuition job and then, I am all not accepting anymore. Tutoring all boys, haha... All of them quite cute and obedient. Lucky don hav those that are defiant and rude.
Tat fri when i was depressed. On sat, one of my tuition kid, Andre, called me to ask me how was my day and some homework questions. I don know what is his main purpose in calling me (juz asking me how my day was or asking me homework questions) but i just feel so appreciated when he asked in his childish manner," Teacher Matthew, Andre here. What are you doing now? How was your day?" Haha... He jus made my day brighten up and forget all depressing stuff i encounter the day before.
On sat, I went out with my army friends. Went for a Mr Bean movie followed by dinner @ Fish and Co and rounded up by dessert in Bugis. Was quite happy during this outing. Though its another all guys outing, but i actually enjoyed the time. All guys jus fooling ard and joking like idiots from planet Mars, haha... Been a long time since i last went out with them. The last time was the potluck dinner a.k.a Mahjong session @ my place. When i was driving Quek back ,I actually gt a new revelation. Though i was complaining abt army and wasting of my time there,I actually made quite a bit of friends there. We sort of lost touch once we ORD but luckily for reservist, we mananged to retrieve back all the contacts. At least, the bunch of us are going out on a constant basis. At least, we tried our best to hav a group outing once a month or so. The gang is the usual one: KT, Quek (sometimes fly kite one though), Adrian (quite onz. Nvr miss any outing so far), Hui Beng (though reserved @ times), Kuan Koon (most of the time can come out unless he is busy making money), Ngai anf of course HANDSOME ME! hhahahah... Buay yao bai!
Father, I thank you in the name of Jesus for placing PEOPLE in my life for a purpose. Some, You have placed there so that i can become stronger and more firm. Some, you have placed them to brighten up my day. I thank You for the kids you have placed in my everyday. They jus seem to be the candles that the flame will burn on eternally. though some jus want to burn themselves out asap. I thank You for the lessons I have learnt and the happiness I have experienced in this colourful life of mine. I thank You for all these things, in Jesus name.

Sad Sad Day
I went to my class today to do relief for their Eng teacher. I was trying my best to build rapport with them. However, the results told me that my aim was not achieved.
I muz admit. The first few times i went into 5D, i was very harsh on them. This was due to their ruly behaviour. Everyone was talking while their teacher was talking. OMG! I gt a shock of my life. Fearing the same might happen to me, i was very harsh on them on the few times i have with them initially.
There is this boy in my class called Zhengli. He is fat, rude, lazy and watever u can imagine a student can be, he is the one. I stepped into the class and he started to call me names. I've tried my best to ignore him but he is like, juz super loud lor. My CT has warned me about him and told me to ignore. Hence, i juz ignore. He juz thinks that i don dare to scold him and jus get from bad to worse.
I really don know wat to do. I juz kept my cool and went on with class. I endure the best i can. Finally, the bell rang. Without hesitation, i went out of the class without gretting the class and went straight to toilet. In the toilet, I juz break down. I felt so disappointed and stressed. I wan to help the class achieve better grades. Am i really tat lousy? Am i really not suitable for teaching? Felt so sad and demoralised ever since i joined the service.
Father, I hav lost all strength. Please give me the power once again.

1st Lesson Observation
Went thru my 1st lesson observation. Was a bit nervous about it initially. Prepare the IT stuff like siao. Even up to the last min before my supervisor came, i was still adjusting my lesson resources. Hahah...
Luckily it all went well. The supervisor said i improved thousand folds since the last practicum. Everything was ok till the grp work. He says that my management of grp work still a bit noisy and unruly. Hahah... Hmmm.. Needs to improve on tat. As for the other things, I managed to get proficient for all. Not bad,considering i only get majority Proficient the last time round. This time, except for Classroom Management, I get all other proficient. Actually, i saw the supervisor marks on the Proficient under the Classroom management section. Then he corrected that away and changed tat to acceptable. I think i can do ok in my grp work juz now, i can get all proficient. Haiz... Miss tat pt but juz so much. Muz work harder on my other observations.
Tmr is my first lesson with the P5 class. Hope everything goes well. The OBESE, RUDE, UNRULY,ATTENTION SEEKING AND SO CALLED ADHD guy is absent today. I know i shouldnt think like this buy i really hope that he will be absebt tmr. At least, don create more trouble than necessarily for my first lesson with them.
Father, i pray you let me lie in your arms forever.

Its 0751hr now. Hahha... Still blogging while in school. Have lesson @ 0805hrs. It raining cats and dogs now. Felt so cold in the staff room.
Woke up only at 0630hr today. Was thinking how good the day will go when i hav a bad start. Luckily, i was on time and reached the school before it starts to pour. Seems like the rest of the day should go well with a slightly cold weather. Will go into the P5 class later. Hope everything goes well.
Father, i pray that you give me strength to pass this day. I pray that today will be a day where i don feel dejected but energized in your arms. I pray all this in Jesus name, Amen!

Charity In Singapore
Juz watched the Ren Ci Charity Show in Singapore. The Reverend said," Each person is just like a grain of sand." HOw true is tat? There are numerous charity organisations in the small country of Singapore. How many of them still hold on to the love for the less fortunate? As i watched the show and the many testimonals, tears roll down my cheeks. I felt so sorry for those lying in bed, unable to move or think. Do they deserve such fate? Half of them hav families and friends out in the world caring for them. Why do they hav to face such difficulties and bring such torture to their beloved ones?
I come from a charitable organization myself. The motto: For the Service of Mankind. We are supposed to dedicate ourselves to helping the less fortunate. However, what i can see now is, people are holding on to power. Maybe I, myself is commiting this mistake. What is the meaning of doing volunteer work? What is the meaning of doing charity works?
Looking @ the history, tis organisation was born out of the goodwill of people. They selflessly commit themselves to help the sick and the desolate. They survived the hardship due to the commitment they set for themselves. The small grp of selfless volunteers grew to a large organisation due to the love they hav for the less fortunate.
Now, they hav evolved. Power struggle became common. Whatever happen to the "I stay not bcos of rank and power. I STAY bcos i commit myself to helping the less fortunate." People juz holding onto power, lower ranks volunteers try to get to the top of the management regardless of friendship, charitable org held up to court..... What is the true meaning of volunteerism? Can anyone help me with this question.
Dear Father. I pray, Father. Please help me find the true meaning of volunteerism. Please help me find the meaning of showing selfless care for the others. Am I right in staying on or is it time for me to leave? Hav i overstayed my welcome or hav i moved to a stage where i have become stagnant? Someone said that each of us is a grain of sand. Since the effort is so small individually, can we do something more by staying united? Father, I pray, Father! I think i hav fallen into the pit hole. Please help me Father to climb out of the dark, cold hole. Hold me in Your arms and give me warmth. Help me rekindle the fire of compassion and care and concern. Show me the light so taht i can spread to others. Do not let me be narrow minded but to embrace everyone regardless of their actions. I pray all this in Jesus name, Amen!

Cleared my debts liao... Feb is so terrible. Have to pay so many things. Luckily Mar is here and i've cleared my debts liao.
Jus accepted another tuition assignment. P4 again.. Hahah... Don know why gt so many P4 students' parents so anxious over the results. One good thing abt this assignment, its very near my house. Onli 3 bus stop! After this tuition, then i go for another tuition. Hahah... Hopefully i can save more $$$... Wan hav as much money as possible.
Went to seletar reservoir wif my buddy yesterday. The feeling's so good. When was the last tnime i went there? Hmmmm... Its last yr liao. Bought dabao then went there to eat. The sea breeze was blowing and the food was nice. Gt friends beside me. Wat more can i ask for? Perhaps my gf? Hahah.... But the feeling was good. I felt free for the 1st time in don know how many months. Felt as if i can now really take a breathe.
One of my friend is admitted into hospital again. I am not sure wat happen. He was admitted into hospital a few days ago to do a op. It was a success. But not sure why he was admitted into hospital again. He jus says that he is not feeling well and his nose bled quite a bit and he vomitted a lot. Haiz... Hope everything will be fine for him. Will include him in my prayers for him. I know tat he's quite worried abt this. Hope everything will go on smoothly.
Give glory to the Highest and he will reward you a thousand fold. Father, i hope that all of friends and me will move on in life smoothly. May all demons in us leave us and give us more the reasons to glorify you in Jesus name!

Injury
So sianz... My left eye cornea gt infected. Now my vision is blurred. The optician says that its due to over usage of contact lenses. Haiz.... Its my fault actually. Ever since i start practicum, i start wearing contact lenses fr 6am all the way till ard midnight. No wonder my eyes are choking fr lack of oxygen. To add salt to injury, I accidentally step on my spec and hence, i cant even have spec to wear.
Went to make a new pair. OMG! I think i kena chop by the auntie. I told the auntie tat i jus need the "most normal" pair of spec and she intro me one that costs me $150 in total. wtf! I was thinking of one tat costs less than 100 since i onli wear spec @ home. haiz... But bo bian. Have to make, otherwise my eyes will get worse and worst, might need go for operation. Hopefully, my cornea will heal by itself. I don wan to admit into hospital in the middle of my prac.
This is the term break and hence, i gt a week's break too. However, i nid to do lesson plamn, NIE assignment and etc. So sianz... Sianz... Sianz...
God will carry us in His arms.

2 happy things to mention about.
1) My CT had nothing but praises for my first lesson plan. Hahah.. Felt so good! She actually says that i did very well as my lesson plan was detailed and progressive. It will help both me and the students to learn from one another. My lesson plan covers both the weaker and better students. Haha.. Hope i can keep this up.
2) I don know why but my tuition kids' families keep introducing me new tution lobangs. As mentioned in my previous blog, one of my tuition kid, the one tat lives in a house 3 times bigger than mine, intro me one @ Tampines (which i accept cos i pai seh to reject). Then today, i went to another tuition. The mum ask me whether wan teach her friend's daughter who lives in Yishun. Also P4 and studies in Chong Fu. wow... Another 'smarty pants' student. Hopefully i get all P4 students then i can shake legs liao, haha... Don need to prepare so much for tuition. Just do one lesson plan and can cater to all. Hopefully, i can get this tuition lobang.
Today, the nightmare of choosing school for my final posting came back again. My CL dept HOD asak me whether wan go back to CH or nt after my prac. Actually, i also don know lehz. Initially, my heart was with TVPS but then, the friendly VP went off, the P retiring soon and my senior teacher also retiring soon. I now find no purpose in gg back liao. In CH, the teachers r a bit cold. But on the brighter side, i have some friends there who will be gg back after their prac too. Also, it is a mission school where i can enjoy the praise and worship during the morning and weekly assembly. Choice is often a stumbling block in our life journey.
ASK AND YOU SHALL RECIEVE. GLORY TO THE HIGHEST!

My Personality
Yeah!! Finished one week of practicum liao... 9 more to go, haha... So far, so good. The downside is tat we cant gossip as much as before due to the seating arrangement. You see, the last time we were allocated the Resource Room where we could gossip and talk as loudly as we want. Now, we are in the staff room and hence, hav to be careful abt wat we talk abt.
I just went thru my last prac feedbacks by my CTs and i realise tat i was given a lot of points for the rapport with students. Then a few days ago, i was having this super long (1hr) chat with one of my tuition kid's mum. She says that her kid likes me and hope that i can "walk" into her son's world. haha... Felt on cloud nine when i heard this praise.
Today i went for tuition. Was wearing contact lenses. The mum actually complimented me for my eyes. She says my eyes are v beautiful... Hahah.. If i were a gal, i would surely feel over the moon, haha... For me, i jus thank her lor. Don know wat to say. Was stun for a moment. She actually said :" pity those eyes hid behind glasses." I think maybe she jus talk cock onli.
Went for new tuition today, recommended by one of my super rich kid. Wow.. Such a huge difference! My tuition kids lives in a 3 times bigger house than mine but his close cousin lives in a 4 room flat with 9 family members. The mum also wants me to charge lower as her family income is not that good. Hmmm... Might consider, seeing her family condition. But she lives so far, far. Tampines lehz....

1st March
This is the 4th day of my practicum in Catholic High. The envoirnment is like the same. Felt very tired even though I have not started teaching yet. I wonder is it due to the environment.
Met all the pple that i am supposed to meet. The Cooperating Teachers, the School Coordinating Mentor, the Vice-Principals and Principal. OMG! The Princicpal wanted to give us "sai kang" the first time we met him. WTF! None of us of course wanted that. He painted such a nice picture, wanting us to do more so that we can learn, However, in actual fact, he juz want someone to take over the class that the previous teacher has just left behind.
Some of my previous students also came to see me. Haha.. Was quite happy to see them. They were asking me why i nvr go back to teach them. haha... I am teaching pri 3 & 5 this time round. The pri 3 class was not bad, one of the gifted class so still ok. But the 5D class was terrible. Got one super big size guy in my class that cant control his temper and once aggitated, wants to beat someone up. He is super attention seaking lor. Got one China huy in the same class. I think his chi-na damn good lor. Haha.. Scared that he might challenge me, haha..
The pri 3 class is ok. Some quite nerds of course being the gifted prog class. I think i don need to spend tat much energy on them but rather the 5D class.Hope that this practicum pass smoothly.
Challenges are set to make men stronger.
Met all the pple that i am supposed to meet. The Cooperating Teachers, the School Coordinating Mentor, the Vice-Principals and Principal. OMG! The Princicpal wanted to give us "sai kang" the first time we met him. WTF! None of us of course wanted that. He painted such a nice picture, wanting us to do more so that we can learn, However, in actual fact, he juz want someone to take over the class that the previous teacher has just left behind.
Some of my previous students also came to see me. Haha.. Was quite happy to see them. They were asking me why i nvr go back to teach them. haha... I am teaching pri 3 & 5 this time round. The pri 3 class was not bad, one of the gifted class so still ok. But the 5D class was terrible.
