Coming to end of MAY

I am so lazy to post pixs up nowadays. HOwever, juz now while i was scanning my photos in my camera, i felt tht its hightime i leave them in this "time capsule" or there will be no more space for me to take more photos.






A few wks ago, was driving along SLE when i saw this car plate. haha... I jus couldnt believe my eyes. How come his/her car plate goes like this? Does he/she really like it so much? haha.. I couldnt resist but quickly take out my phone camera (yes, when i am still driving) to take a quick snapshot!

23 May 2006

So many weeks since i blog. Don know why also. Seems like everyday pass so fast. My prac is long over. My enrichment courses are almost till the end already. My much dread army mobilisation over. Wow,wow... Cant wait for my holidays to arrive and i can party all day long.

My prac @ CHS is over. From 28th May 2007 onwards, I belong to TVPS. Word has it that they exchange 2 teachers for me... haha.. I wonder how true is that? Anyway, I still miss my kids @ CHS. Naughty as they are, but they are also quite cute. I miss the chocolate easter bunny they gave me for easter, the butterfly they gave me during Earth's Day etc. I shall elaborate more on CHS when i get from class photo from my PA, Gillan.

The enrichment courses that NIE has organised are almost BULL**** lor. Its just endless workshops, endless seminars, endless attendance taking etc. Waste of my time lor. And yes, waste of money. Might as well jus upload it in the intranet of various sch and let us read la. The money can be given to us. Better still, right? haha..

The mobilisation is like shit lor. Report @ XXXXhrs then wait and wait. waited for 11hrs, then parade then go back home. Spent the entire night playing poker cards. Sianz X 1000000000..... Don know need all these shows for wat?

My holidays are crying out to me. My trips to KL and cruise... Arghhhh..... Cna you reach faster. Run a bit la. Why crawl @ a snail's pace?

5th May

Went for VPO training this morning. Quite interesting job to work with juveniles and etc. Made some frenz too though we nvr exchange contact number. Hmmm.. Met one experienced VPO that is a prison teacher. Had quite a interesting chat with him.

During the training, one of the facilitator said, " In a communication, words only constitutes 7%. Methods of communication made up 38% and body language made up the rest." Wow! I knew that body language made up some percentage in a communication but nvr knew it made up such a huge percentage of communication.






In the late afternoon, went to Msia with KT. Had a sumptious meal there. Looking at the pictures,u might think its not a lot. However, we had more. Other than Stingray, Sotong and Oyester omelette, we also had chix wings(2 for me, 4 for KT) and drinks. The food was nice and cheap. After ordering so much, it only came up to RM20 per pax. Damn cheap lor. The stingray alone would have costs SGD$12-15 if eaten in Spore.

Afer dinner, went on to Pelangi Plaza. Strange enough, we saw a Popular Bookstore sign outside Pelangi Plaza but couldnt locate it in the shopping centre. Don know where the hell its located. I bought a cookie jar for one of my CT. Gg to put chocolates inside. Good! I finish buying presents for all my CTs. Job well done in JB!

Nxt, we went on to City Square. Again, KT ate the Oyster Mee Sua and one big chix cutlet. OMG! I don know how he can finish so much. Then, we went on to Secret Receipe again to eat cakes. Wah lau! Very nice lor. We both ordered one slice of Mango cake each. haha.. Was craving for more after eating one but luckily, manage to curb my temptation.

Day was well spent.

3rd May 2007

Seletar Reservoir! Feeling rather sianz yesterday so i went there to chill out for a while inbetween my tuitions. That is a place where i used to avoid after i broke up with XXX. However, in recent years, i've managed to not feel sad abt that place anymore. "We" used to spend happt times there. Now, it has become a place for me to go whenever i feel sad or bothered. Nice scenery, thanks to OCC. Many families and couples will go there to chill out after their dinner. Kids will be happily running ard. As usual, the Ice-Cream man will go round and round selling their ice-cream. That is the palce where I can bare my soul to the world outside.




Fernvale Road. Thats the road near my house. When I am feeling super free, which is impossible recent days, i used to walk there to buy my lunch/dinner. Quite a nice neighborhood. Quiet like an old man by the sunset. Still like the waters in a pond. Fernvale, a place where people go for a nice stroll along the roads, a place for people to rest amist their busy schdule.

Labour Day

Went out today instead of marking my composition and workbook. Hav to chiong tmr then.

Was dissapointed and sad the etire day throughout but i think i manage to hide it quite well. Shant harp on it anymore. All i can say is "people will move on with their life and I need to accept this fact." Friends re just friends. I used to wonder why those old people seldom go out with "friends". Today, I think i understand why. A call can do much more wonders than anything else. The most impt factor is "the person".

Actually, i used to think i am very blessed to have so many friends. Now, i think i have to retract my words. Actually, come to think of it, I am quite a failure at friendship. I don think i truly grasp the true meaning of friednship yet. I am gg 24 tis yr and i am still in the mist of grasping this idea. HOw childish am I.

Watched Spiderman today. Not a bad show but definetely not worth your $9.50. Maybe worth the $7 only.But the show was quite long. All of you out there who wan to watch this movie, please go to the toilet before the show and get some drinks in case you feel thirsty.

Whatever comes in your way, you always have a choice.

Amen!

28th April 2007

Today's my buddy B day. Had to stay @ home to mark compositions. Damn sianz. But anyway, dwarf, Happy Birthday to You.

Practicum over soon. Hope i can get my life back again.

I have finished all my teaching alr. Actually, now the prac period moved back, its actually good. Cos during the exam time, we can hav time to mark finish all the books. Unlike the previous batch, i saw them frantically marking brfore their period end. Some even came back after prac to finish marking. Hahha... @ least i don need to do so.

Went to relieve my previous practicum class yesterday. Some of them shoot up so tall that i couldnt regconise them. Had a period to chat with them. Realise that they don like their chinese teacher. When the chinese teacher came in to tell them something, some of them were ignoring their chinese teacher. Some even asked me question when their chinese teacher was telling them stuff. Wow... Actaully this class is ok one, jus a bit talkative. Why they hate their chinese teacher so much?

The last P3 observation, i onli gt one proficient, the rest acceptable. Hahah... But i think tats ok. I thought i would get unacceptable. Was sleepless the entire night. Luckily scrapped thru. But on the average, i am still satisfied with my results ma. My P3 4 observations: 3 observations (all skills proficient). i observation (4 acceptable, 1 proficent). My p5 observations: ( average 2 acceptable, 3 proficient)and my last observation i got all proficent. Haha... Ok lar. Should get pass with merit. Distinction is so far away, Hahah... Saw a distinction lesson by one my high flier teacher in CHS. Okie lar, i really "pei fu" him. Nothing to say abt his lesson.

My final posting is coming out soon. Hopefully i can stay in CHS. I like the culture there. I like the environment there. I just found out from my asst CT that TVPS wants me back and they r willing to do a one to one exchange with CHS. OMG! Hope this doesnt come to realise. I have made my point clearly to my Asst CT (HOD Chinese). Hope that i can get what i wan.

Leaving my fate in Your hands.

25th April 2007

Today was such a bad day. It jus didnt go right from the start.

First, i woke up quite late. Ard 615am then i woke up. Need to rush off to work.

Then, i found out that my ppt slides juz went missing. Search the whole laptop but jus counldnt find it @ all. So have to rush and rush. I didnt eat for the enire day till after school when i reached home.

Got two observation 2day. The p5 one was still okie. The p3 one was disaterous. I was doing my teaching materials for the kids up to the last minute. I reached the class room one min late and my CT was already in the classroom.One pt down. Then, i waited for the boys to set up the lap top. I didnt prepare anything to make the students busy while the boys were settling the lap top cos i thought i would make it in time. Siao liao lor. I asked the whole class to read the passage while the boys were settling the lap top. Then, even after they finished reading, the lap top was still not ready. I need to ask them questions right off my head. Wah lau. Stress lor. My CT was writing down points after points. I was gg mad liao.

After 20min, the lap top was still not ready. I decide to do everything on the whiteboard then instead of relying on IT. Then, i think because i got off a bad start, the whole class was in chaos. I need to settle them down again and again. Due to my nervousness, i was also perspiring like no ones' biz. I really feel like jus to stop teaching lor. I think tis time die liao. Tis observation sure all unacceptable. See what my CT have to say when i meet her tmr lor.

When i reached the staff room, i saw TVPS SMS. I called back and realised the TVPS Principal has alr talked to CHS Principal for the request to have me nack to TVPS. TVPS even has alr made plans for me to take over Boys Brigade when i go over. I haven decide yet and they alr made plans for me. Actually, i was thinking not to go TVPS anymore. I wanted to go CHS more. Now, they made plans for me and even went to the extent of talking to CHS principal. Win liao lor. I now really @ loss of what to do.

Feel really down. Tried to reach my buddy to talk over but couldnt contact him. Went to Seletar Resrvoir alone. Sat there for ard 1 hr. Let all thoughts rush thru my mind and tried very hard to cool myself down. Then, raindrops start to fall and sianz...... Hav to get back into the car and drove back home. On the way, went to coffee shop to get my breakfast cum lunch cum tea-break. Saw my sec sch classmate. He asked me why i look so depressed. I don know what to tell him lor.

Haiz... Take one thing @ a time bahz. Don wan to think so much now. Yes, i know that this is like running away from reality but i juz don wan to think anymore. Take a good slp and see how things go again tmr. Which reminds me, i haven do the lesson plan for tmr yet. Sianz X 100000000.

Father, i pray to you to hold and carry me in Your arms again. I need Your touch to keep my strength going on. I know that Your powers are beyond what we can imagine and I pray that You can always keep me strong again.
