i shall aspire not to think so much next time...
it saves my energy for other things..
and creates less misunderstandings..
side note:
i have to go for a HOC meeting which clashes with cheer chalet.. it was supposed to be in the afternoon but somehow it got shifted to the night time.. wtf...
and that really irritates me...

The Beholder sees all....
I will start on my NIE service learning project soon.. sigh...
just cant find the energy or the will because seriously it is not counted towards our GPA... and some people just dun care abt it... aka as usual not everyone is pulling their own weight..
argh!
I used to put in my full energy in doing this service learning thing or otherwise known as GESL.. but ever since my fren told me that it does not count towards GPA and also by seeing some of my grp members not doing their share.. i kinda cant be bothered too.. nonetheless i still did my part..
good thing is at least my programs sub-com the ppl r nice ppl who do their work.. if not i wld hav pmsed and probably screwed it all.. haha its good to work with nice ppl.. its good to work with nice ppl who do their work.. haha..
ok bah.. shall not bitch abt GESL... its going to be over by 14th dec.. so yar.. endure, do a gd job n fuck it afterwards..
**********************
on a side note.. and i know i really should not think about this, esp since some of my friends have not even finished their exams yet.. but i really really kinda wannna know what my results are.. lolz...
by talking to some ppl.. i just suddenly have this urge to fast forward time and just find out how did i do... n get it over n done with.. a personal thought i have is if in this first sem, i am able to fulfill my results aims (which obviously i have set aims).. then it kinda vindicates me that i am still able to juggle my many committments btween, NIE, Hall and Canoeing.. if i fail to fulfill my aims, then i will have to make the painful decision to drop some.. sigh.. and frankly i rather not..
also theres some issue of pride.. lolz... i cannot and will not lose out to 'some people'...
but thats not really the point...
crossover crossover crossover
so the wait goes on and on i guess..
***************
brighter note!.. sunday is the day my life changed.. after wearing specs for i think more than a decade.. i finally went for lasik surgery.. haha the operation was itself very short.. 15min n thats it.. but it felt long.. to me, i felt it was not as painless as they say it is. lolz.. rather uncomfortable actually.. and the recovery as usual is rather long n irritating..
thank goodness for lubricating eyedrops.. haha
so now my vision is near perfect.. i typing this entry wo wearing specs .. but there is fuzzy feeling abt it.. its like i m looking thru a crying eye.. lolz.. doctor said it will take 2 weeks to clear up.. and 3 mths for total recovery...
so i shall wait.. n b patient.. n not be paranoid..
and above all.. i will take care of my eyes..
haha
it is amusing, well at least for myself, when i feel something on my eye.. and i wld reach for my specs, only that theres no specs on my eyes.. lolz.. its like some phantom feeling of specs on the bridge of my nose.. freaky ar.. lolz.. guess need some time to get used to it..
it shall be interesting life after lasik... i can canoeing wo fear.. do cheer wo fear.. run wo hassle.. and well hopefully look good =P

Ahhhh.. the great outdoors
well.. finally 1 semester for some NIE students have come to a close.
and really, i think the prof of NIE want us to end out examinations with a bang, like bang head the kinda bang. the very last paper i took which was taken yesterday was Maths Paper, it was basically a huge test on number systems to do with all the laws of addition, multiplication and divisibility, then there working operations in different number bases, knowing n converting to different number systems like roman, mayan and lastly the use of algebra n model drawing to solve word problems.. lolz
i know sound simple, not as chiam as those things that are mentioned in some other Maths course.. but seriously for a person like me who hates maths.. i think its quite the killer, especially since we r suppose to use what we have learnt in this Maths course to teach out student which i still do not see the point. anyway the paper was 2 and half hour, and omg lah, i think it was the first paper where no one left early and i felt it was like a history essay examinations coz of i was literally rushing to write out all those workings and what not, write until hand pain.
since when does doing Maths give hand pains.. haha
anyway.. shall not talk much about the paper, suffice to say it has its random moment and some WTF moments too. i should be at least contented that i more or less did or attempted majority of the questions in the paper. some people i heard did not fare that well.. hmmm shall see bah..
cross over cross over cross over...
yar but for the moments who cares.. the exams are over and lets start off with a party!. haha yup went clubbing with NIE mates which degenerated into NIE mate and friends.. haha..
sigh, before the maths paper, everyone said wanna go, after the maths paper, some people say mother do not allow (abit wtf ar).. and some people say they do not feel like going coz the paper traumatised them (even more wtf).. haha.. anyway in the end, it was just my nie mate and me.. and thnk goodness there were her frens if not will be very weird.. haha..
ok lah, counting that i have not clubbed since ages ago, the hall bash this year does not really count ar.. it went quite well.. oh yar we went double O.. the music was half bad - half good bah.. first part got damm alot of techno.. but later it was better.. haha.. dancing was fun as usual. ;)
anyway now still suffering the effects.. also dun know why.. i din drink that much hmmm... haha
********
well so now thats the exams are over.. suddenly i feel damm free.. and u know what gosh no one is free .. AIYO!
obviously hall ppl who are obviously all NTU are still taking their exams or have not even started.. so they r out..
the SJI bros who are all in uni too.. are either becoming very celeb in their own area and also are taking their exams... tgt with having sex with some random humanoid i m sure ;)
the same goes for SAJC peeps... sigh
and even the LTA of the signal corp is having some shit in his camp...
so yar i m pretty much left alone..
and yes i hav work to do... GESL is coming up soon.. and yes i m sure JCRC will come haunting me soon..
but i think for the moment.. i will just slack it all away.. hehe

The silence before the storm breaks...
between crafting 2 written assignments, presenting 3 projects, doing 1 English Final Sem paper and having to worry about mummy's 2 kneel caps... i tot i did well for this week... everything went as smoothly as it can go.. i tink...
well this has been a most challenging and interesting week.. haha.. for a moment or two, i seriously thought i wun b able to make it but well i did in the end..
for the written assignments, i must really thank those who did the assignment with me.. lolz probably wun b able to find the motivation to do wo themz.. haha. oh not to mention the sharing of resources and tips.. one thing i seriously dun like abt assignment is the word count... haha.. always overshoot then i got to look back and edit .. which will result in me having to kill off all those flowery language sentences which while nice to read, actually does not contribute much to content.. haha! .. they are just there to restate a point.. or sum up something. still i tink my writing skills r not bad... there is still a decent level of language being used for all my written assignments.. thank the heavens!
for the projects.. thnk goodness i have good members who did their share of work and even though it seems we r all busy busy people (to organise a meeting is so hard =P).. we somehow managed to produce a good presentation.. i personally at least our presentation is max 20min long and not like some other grps' presentation which was like 30 over mins.. the horror... ahah
oh and we r totally rock at role-play.. haha being the drama ppl we are.. lolz!
as for the English Paper.. oh well no pt talking abt it.. feel like 75% confidence.. haha.. forgot a small section .. but then again quite alot of ppl died there.. the text type that i analyse i hoped i got it right.. alot of debate going on about that.. hmmmm... shall not think abt it too much, its over... i shall wait for the results to come..
then there are mummy's kneel caps.. haha... i m glad she is doing as well as she can in her current state, dun need to worry so much.. haha.. but of course she is bored and as a result she has resorted to spamming me sms.. which can get rather irritating.. just ytd she was smsing me telling me her brave tale of going to our nearby clinic to change her dressing.. n on another day was that she managed to mop the floor.. well yes you get the point... bet boredom is like eating her alive.. haha... on the other hand, i wished she had chosen another time to go for her ops, having to cycle btwn her and assignment is the moral debate of the year man.. haha.. sigh!
i will and always be strong...
well the week is over.. and things have settled down.. next week it all starts again but this time its not as shagged.. only 1 Presentation, 1 Maths Quiz and 1 Science Final Sem Paper.. not that bad considering this week .. haha
nonetheless, i am going to restart my mugging engine soon.. but just taking a short break first. slacked thru the whole of thurs (except during maths tut, which i died in ).. haha was listening to 'I've got a feeling' by B E P.. haha... resisting the urge to just dance around my room as i conquered that last assignment.. ok random.. tonite i shall go eat XLB with army frens and CY (the bimbs).. haha
weekend when it comes.. then i wil start.. sigh.. shall b doing maths n science..
i have and will continue to survive
look for my revival on the 18th of Nov... Muhahaha

Buckets,,, they come in buckets...
hmmm.. well amid all the work.. i still find myself somehow alive. haha
good thing is the group assignments seem to be taking shape and so far, as far as i can tell, drawing from the comments the tutors have said.. our grps, esp the ICT one, seem to be on the right track... PBL is being irritating as usual but whatevr.
i have not started on my individual assignments yet.. 2 1000 words essay on Ed Psy.. my god.. well i will start soon..
cant wait for this 2 weeks to b over.. for that wld mean all the projects n assignments r handed in and done.. n all i have to worry abt are the test papers ... strange ar.. i actually do not fear the test papers as much as i fear the assignments.. gosh..
so the stress builds up...
but i shall try to see the 'silver lining'...
for one.. HOCC has finally came to a decision on the whole MJ saga.. glad to put that behind me.. and move on in life... and hopefully everyone will move on... i think i did my best.. managed to come to a decision that is good for hall and participants.. but of course the decision made will never please everyone, that is why we have a commitee... to decide on a final say..
i thought i handled it quite well...
another.. is that canoeing training has been suspended ... haha.. i know i know.. i m and still passionate abt canoeing.. i really do wanna master my strokes.. n all.. n i do fantasize abt getting fitter and buff .. and getting a medal .. haha.. but for now.. seeing how everythng is like clashing up down left right center.. it is good that i can finally take a breather and concentrate on things that need attention...
things like school work.. not saying i forsake those.. always have been giving attention to work but now is the time to give 110% attention to it.. haha
so i hereby promise.. i wil put back the 100% into canoeing after the tests and assignment.. yar
afterall i dun wan to lose my tan =P
on the other hand.. it also allows me to settle some other things in life..
once again. i come to a pt where i must ask myself which is more impt in life...
Hall.. or ... otherwise..
this time round though.. i tink there is no compromise..
but well i try my best to please all sides yar..
i hope everything will b fine.. and turn out fine..
sigh...
the truth is.. one just does not leave everything hanging.. or drop everything.. however noble we think ourselves to be.. things just do not work that way..
but i will try..
just hope all these will have a happy ending...
and i wish kl will b back soon.. haha.. its hard not to have someone to pour troubles to..
i wil keep smiling.. =)

it is that time of the month...
it seem so weird that it feels like mere days that we went thru our 'mid-term' phase of uni.. haha now i am once again fighthing the battle to prepare and get rdy for the 'final-term' phase of Sem1 of NIE..
and so its that time of the month again...
where the assignment start to pile up and well eye bags become bigger and bigger. this time round, instead of individual assignments, there is individual assignments AND group assignments AND tests...
sigh...
i seriously starting to hate group assignments, doing 3 at a time is damm grossed. haha. not to mention, everyone has like different time table since we r all teachers but yet studying different subjects.. there r the social studies teacher, PE teachers, MT teachers and General teachers...
sigh if so many different time tables, its so damm hard to organize a meeting and thus work done is so inefficient. haha.
and i find a weird pattern whereby i m doing all the compiling of the project work.. sigh..that is quite irritating too. but nvm i shall not complain, afterall if i do this project well, my mark wil go up too.. so got to tell myself that...
i just hate inefficiency... argh!
so rush rush assignments both individual and grp... and hopefully later i got time to study for the tests that are coming up. hmmm .. good thing is at least for NIE students, our examinations end early. most of us shld clear our exams by mid Nov.. haha
i guess i can use that as a motivation yar.. haha suffer now, enjoy later. yes i shall. Mid Nov, when most of the NTU population r not done with their exams. then i shall laugh at them now.. hahaha...
no i will not be that bad =)
to make things better, i heard that 2 of my english courses that we r taking are actually not counted into our GPA.. they r just in essence just a course with a pass or fail grade. hmmm.. interesting, i totally did not know that until recently. haha YIPEE!
i cant transribe for nuts.. n phonetics kills me...
well hall life is well.. as it is ... yar..
dun tink wanna say much abt it... but lets just say things r rather lukewarm.. haha
got this strange feeling of feeling err... hmmm a bit off..
like no heart.. also dun know why... hmm shall reflect on it and see why i m feeling the way i m feeling..
oh on a side note.. i have came to realise ppl will kinda say anything just to hide something from you and its best not to probe, so yar...
********
to be frank, got alot of things on my mind but cant really find someone to say it all out.. kl is in aust now.. so oh wellz... i also wanna ask a particular someone a question.. but i cant seem to find the guts or the chance to do so.. which irritates me
*******
Canoeing well is going ok.. training is intensify.. and the stress and worry of not being to cope with canoeing and jcrc and studies is very real, esp when u have frens telling u to quit one for another. so far, no trouble from the dislocated shoulder, so shall slowly up the level.. haha..
ok bah.. got to sleep.. time still got project.. and all that shit..
and so its that time of the month again...
where the assignment start to pile up and well eye bags become bigger and bigger. this time round, instead of individual assignments, there is individual assignments AND group assignments AND tests...

Frankly speaking...
i know i kinda promised i will blog about happy stuff.. n trust me when i say there r many happy stuff happening..
but it seems life is well nvr dull.. and it can get very shitty at times..
sigh...
i mean it suddenly feels like i m all alone.. n theres so so very much work to do.
it does not help that for various irritating reason i cant ask ppl for help.. but then again i chose this path so i really shld not b complaining..
just that sometimes.. it really sucks.. as in the benefits is being shadowed by the shit thats happening..
nonetheless as i always say.. i will find a way.. even if that means blasting my way thru.. sighz
feel damm tired...
on a very not so random note.. i tink first thing for any relationship to take flight is to have trust. trust is like super impt.. well at least for me.. with trust anything can b done..
n i guess one thing that really really irks me is when trust is broken..
i mean i had my lessons on trust way way back in those young days.... and i tot i learnt my lesson.. but oh wellz..
sometimes even i forget some things i guess.. the feeling sucks
anyway a fren of mine, 8 years and counting, said something to me regarding frenship.. and now wit wads happening in sch/hall..
i tink i finally realised something... that frens of a few weeks cant and will nvr replace those forged from 8 years...
sigh..
the feeling sucks... it really does..
yet somehow or rather i dun wan such things to happen.. i really wanna give the chance for new frenships to grow.. but yet...
well.. stupid things just happen.. and it really sucks..
and it pisses me off...
thus.. i must say.. i apologise to my frens of 8years.. all of them... i think i kinda took your for granted... which shld not be the case..
i m sry ...
ARGH!
********
note to self: i will not feel this way tmr... or rather when the sun shines..
must smile..
but it seems life is well nvr dull.. and it can get very shitty at times..
sigh...

anyway a fren of mine, 8 years and counting, said something to me regarding frenship.. and now wit wads happening in sch/hall..
i tink i finally realised something... that frens of a few weeks cant and will nvr replace those forged from 8 years...
sigh..
the feeling sucks... it really does..
yet somehow or rather i dun wan such things to happen.. i really wanna give the chance for new frenships to grow.. but yet...
well.. stupid things just happen.. and it really sucks..
and it pisses me off...
thus.. i must say.. i apologise to my frens of 8years.. all of them... i think i kinda took your for granted... which shld not be the case..
i m sry ...
ARGH!
********
note to self: i will not feel this way tmr... or rather when the sun shines..
must smile..

what will we be remembered by?
ok.. so its being a few days since my grandfather's passing.. on tuesday after lessons which ended at freaking 530pm.. i took a cab n went all the way down to Sin Ming Drive to attend my grandfather funeral..
i must say the feeling was strange.. there was a mixture of sadness, lost... then some regret.. n then a whole lot of worrying...
the truth is i m not that close to my grandfather (mother's side).. but i know he always dotes on us.. n that my mummy loves him dearly. which is why when the news first came.. and the news came on monday straight after my canoeing training as i was walking back to hall to prepare for the jcrc campaign thingy.. i did not feel sadness at first.. the initial thought was how was my mummy holding up...
i was worried.. and was prepared to go to NUH to b with her. Mummy called and kinda told me not to... and of course she was describing to me abt how my grandpa waited for her to come b4 passing... strange if u tink of it.. ppl waiting to see someone b4 they go.. hmmm
anyway.. so i somehow still managed to live thru a jcrc campaigning n dinner.. n then a whole day of schooling b4 rushing down to the place.... i can only say thank goodness there was no competitors or well i really dun know how i might fare...
but anywayz.. the whole affair was sad and well awkward.. with waves of different types of emotions flying everywhere.. coz my uncle was still angry with my mummy for somehting which even i also dun understand... but yet grief for my granddad brought them tgt.. but wadever.. it was awkward..
so yar.. we kinda had to see the coffin... and sigh... alot of things came to mind when i saw my granddad lying in that coffin... i know his last days were those of suffering.. but yar.. i tink u got to go thru it in order to know how it feels like..
n the feeling truly sucks...
and like i say i was worried abt my mummy's mental health... knowing her always being the 'strong' one.. but yar.. i know she has been crying.. yet it is also hard to go up to her n comfort her.. coz like yar.. sigh...
so things went on.. with all the ceremonies n ritual n prayers... n then cremation on wednesday..
oh which i rushed down from Mandai to NIE to attend lessons.. now i know some wld day i shld have stayed on n b wit my mummy... but i dun know lah.. this wk is like so crucial wit assignments n briefing n wad not...
i had to weigh my priorities... n come to a compromise.. i know some ppl wun agree with me... i know some wld say .. no matter wad reason. nothing is more impt than a close relative's funeral.. but ... i did 'send' him off.. anyway.. that kinda sucks too.. having to consistently tell myself wad i m doing is right.. seriously lah... what the shit!
so yar after the cremation was a long day of wednesday... kinda managed to survive thru the day.. but those thoughts kept on returning to haunt me. trust me when i say the feeling was very awful.. wad makes it even worst i felt was it was hard to tell anyone... hard to explain this part.. but yar...
thought it wld b best to just have some 'me' time.. but well thats kinda impossible lah.. with JCRC rally n election n assignments to hand in.. so i kinda just allowed my busy life to distract me.. i know i know thats not the way.. but oh wellz.. it dulls the pain somewhat..
so yar rally n election came n go.. i din tink i did well in my speech.. hardly had the mental strength to really give a jaw-dropping one.. hah. yar.. sigh.. election was good.. we were elected nonetheless, i had about a 20plus % of voters voting against me.. but oh well .. i guess because of everything that was happening.. the happiness of winning jcrc din really like sink in.. it was like 'k one thing down.. next one to come' feeling..
i know i shld not be feeling that way.. but ...
anyway... so after being elected.. i feel we r hitting the floor running.. haha.. yup so the endless work carries on.. argh.. i really need sometime to just sit down n collect the pieces of me that have fallen apart throughout this whole 'passing away' issue.. blahz..
oh well.. everyone faces the same issues at some pt of their lives.. so i tink theres no pt whining abt it.. just got to move on.. no matter quite hard..
got to keep smiling.. keep working..
and keep that mask on somehow..

i got this feelin in me
this week has been well interesting... it has managed to irritate me and excite me at the same time..
got alot of things to say.. but well dun really wanna say it out..
abit of why bother saying it feeling...
i guess i shall just use the same way of dealing with everything.. and tats to work it out by myself n somehow i will find a way.. haha i always do.. i tink.. =)
anyway.. in way of assignment.. those shitty NIE assignments are finally moving on.. haha.. i m left with just one more written assignment.. funny thats the one which i seriously dun know wad to do with.. lolz.. the rest are done n in the can, just need some refining will do..
for the whole wk.. because of various reasons has been not sleeping alot.. lolz average sleeping time was 4am plus.. thnk goodnes i start lesson late. so usually can get abt max 5 hours sleep. which is not too bad.. haha.. still able to function properly and not yet burning out.. but tired nonetheless..
thnk goodness i dun need to do my projectwork proposal liao.. one burden settled n done with. was glad that most of my grp mates found the proposal to their liking, brought a smile to my face.. haha.. i m quite pleased with my written assignments.. haha.. though i seriously dun wanna compare my work with others, coz i seriously dun wan to stress myself for nothing.. haha..
i do think i need to refine them just abit..
oh yar lastly... theres JCRC.. the hall ver. of a student council.. everything in that front goes well.. so i m not actually worried abt that.. rather i worried abt well the choice i m abt to make.. i have finally really come to the crossroad..
the JCRC way is now open no longer blurred.. and well DB way is well always opened... so.. i kinda decided by various reasons that i will give up DB in favour of Hall JCRC.. oh the side note.. somewhere in my heart.. i do wanna stay on in DB, i mean i been training for close to a mth, met ppl and made some frens.. n i liked the feeling of been pushed to the limit.. but...sometimes ppl are 'pushed' to make certain choices.. so hence i m now clearly working towards JCRC..
on a sidenote.. i still have interest in watersports, eg kayaking n db.. so in light of keeping fit n all... i m considering of joining NTU's canoeing.. where the training i heard is not too fierce like DB.. and also i feel more natural there being trained in canoeing.. lolz.. since i know nuts of DB strokes...
hopefully this will work out somehow..
other things bugs me... n well irritated me.. this wk i felt something that i have not felt for such a long time liao.. haha i almost mistaken it for something else.. but ...
i dun know.. theres so many things to tink abt.. to interpret..
"i will find a way.. or make one myself"

and so it really really begins
haha.. life in uni progresses well..
work load increases.. and the number of decision to make also increase with that.. haha
the bugging issue of jcrc and db still haunts me..lolz
but i wil just let the fates decide.. for the record i m still going to go for db training.. until i make the final decision btwn db n jcrc..
well having gone for 2 sessions of db training, both land n water training. i must say db is actually damm shag loh.. haha.. but physically challenging nonetheless.. just that i cant help but feel inferior when in front of so mnay greek gods ar. haha.
anyway went for first ever db water training on sunday.. gosh lah.. totally not wad i expect it to be. ok lah, land training is still more tiring.. but water training is like so technical .. lolz.
starting i was rather confused with the strokes they were using.. then keep getting corrected by the coach.. lolz.. so for those whu thought db is just brute force, think again loh. alot of thought actually goes into planning those strokes.. quite interesting..
i guess the misconception is that when u db, u use mainly arm strength but totally not true. haha when the strokes are executed properly, i realised its actually the whole body that being used. quite cool ar.. lolz.
i think i might actually be starting to like db... sigh
well after dbing.. meet up wit lau.. went to watch District 9.. at causeway pt.. lolz i was so desperate to watch that show, i actually cabbed down to causeway pt wit lau to watch that show,.. haha
i must say i liked it, ok got quite abitof gore. but the storyline is nice, lots of thinking and metaphors. i must say the weaponery in the movie is damm cool. haha super lethal n super fun to watch. though the aliens look a bit weird but they got quite expressive eyes i thought. haha
******
well in hall now.. trying to read up on some stuff... i know something is happening tmr.. n everyone wanna give clues but no one wanna tell me the whole thing.. so i guess i will play along..
surprise and delight me bah..
haha
not to mention... i got to worry abt db tmr.. lolz

Halling..
heyo world!
its the 2nd wk of NIE life... 2nd wk of hall16..
already i feel abit stressed.. haha i mean how can u not feel stressed when ppl do their tutorials b4 even going for tutorial classes... and not to mention those people who use very very difficult words when writing a reflection essay to b posted on an online forum..
gosh...
i must admit to this lah.. i was actually using a dictionary the other day just to make sure i put a few decent vocab words into my reflection. haha.. in a way its quite funny, you know a reflection is supposed to be your personal thinking, yet people (me included) are choking it with such lofty words. haha either our minds are damm complicated whereby we used complicated words whenever we think.... or well the other reason i shall not say bah.. haha
not to mention there are those who i think take very extreme stands when writing their reflection. there is this guy in one of my classes, he is so utopian thinking, always saying yes and saying its possible to achieve this and that. i myself am not that kind of person, personally i think he is alittle naive, the truth is sometimes somethings just cannot be applied to everyone... even if that something is actually good for everyone.. but you got to see the situation first.
i wonder whether its because i taught in DZPS that caused me to think this way...
then again, i must say DZPS did open my big fat eyes to many things... hmmmm
oh! and the worst thing is in order not to lose out, i got to also think or act like them. i think now i finally understand what my brother meant by university life can be rather screwed up at times. Brother knows best ... haha
******
On the other hand, its nice that the hall people are still normal. Normal in a sense that still can talk to them, make merry and have fun. although i think we are all getting busier and busier, which is fine by me. lolz... nowadays, i find myself worrying about my tasks that i left behind whenever i go for some outings. lolz. guess the pain of A levels really changed me and i am really REALLY determined not to let history repeat itself.
ok blast away all those awful memories...
if there is one thing that bugs me about hall, its the increasing talk on how to stay in hall for another year. haha. there are so many ways, some tougher, some easier and .... some are just plain crazy ones. i kind of gathered information from quite a number of people liao and i still do not know which way to go. ok i know.. those who know me well. i tend to like to gather all information before i take a step. think think think.. oh wellz... i guess time will tell in the end rite? haha
*****
as for the other things that are bugging me.. well i will tell you in person yar
oh should i go for DB training on monday?lolz... ok i know.. random

ok got to go prepare for lessons and lunch!!!

i hav concluded running long dist as in like 4-8km .. does not really help in 2.4km running.. so in light that i hav to take ippt soon.. i hav re-adjusted my exercise regime..
haha its now 2.4km all the way with 30s60s... lolz.. hmm i m quite confident can get back to the 10 plus minutes running time in 36SCE.. who knows.. might even get below 10mins like BMT..
but .. we shall see... bah!

So far....
ok well so far... i know that our P has sent in the approval letter to allow us, untrained teachers, to enter NIE... the irritating thing is for some reason, i have not received the confirmation letter..
Sigh.....
i hope it comes soon n put my mind at ease.. haha.. so now i shall wait wait wait....
*****
the last wk of school has been interesting indeed.. monday was spent in Hort Park where DZPS was there for a Maths and Science Trail.. basically they went to the park and did maths n science questions on things that can b found in the park... quite interesting
afterall the questions were planned by the teachers.. lolz =.=
the only thing was that the weather was very hot.. and everyone was suffering.. haha and the kids were well pretty much complaining abt the heat.. lolz.. also another irritating thing was that it seems the other sch in spore also chose to come to Hort Park on the same day as DZ.. so it was like a huge F-fest like that...
seas of kids.. walking around..
was quite scared will miss some kids.. and then lost them forever.. haha.. thnx god that din happen..
********
oh yar.. i also finally said my 'farewell' to 3/2.. lolz brought some food n stuff for the class.. lolz i do hope they will enjoy the food n liked the gifts.. lolz.. peeling 29 price tags off 29 pens is no joke ar. haha... oh wellz.. actually also not really leaving them .. coz july wk1-3 will still b in DZPS.. but just in case... so better give the gifts now then later.. haha
so far.. handling of the p6 classes is going well.. since its non-core subjects.. they r quite noisy.. haha and sometimes theres just no way to stop them from talking.. not to mention some of them r downright rude.. but oh wellz... we save wad we can ..
i do realise that when it comes to the topic of secondary sch.. the primary6 classes wld b more attentive.. haha so i m always sharing my SJI days.. n also letting them know wad to expect in sec sch.. haha... lolz i even talked abt NUS, NTU, NIE n SMU.. sheesh!
******
hmmmm... oh yar recently finally played badminton after not playing for like decades... haha played with zul in DZPS sch hall.. lolz..
shockingly it was fun n tiring sia.. we played for 1 hour i tink.. n we were like sweating.. but all smiles.. lolz.. din play pt until the end... it was an interesting match.. played until we reached 7-7
then we got chased out of the hall coz they need to close it =(
but it was fun... damm we shld have started playign the badminton way b4 now man.. lolz
o wellz... hopefully there will b one soon =)

A new age comes...
The SA1 2009 are finally over!
now is the time for marking, norm-ing n wad not..
but amidst all this.. i also know i will b handing over 3/2 back to her original form teacher..
i just din expect it to b so sudden.. lolz
well as so it happens... on monday, i was given news that i will not b taking 3/2 anyway.. n i was given a new timetable.. so in short, i din have time to say 'bye bye' to the class or at least to give an explanation why i m going away.. lolz
quite sad ar..
so resulting in that.. i hav kids coming to me.. asking me where i m going.. if i am stil teaching them.. haha.. hence all the mixed feelings.. on one hand i feel a sense of relief.. since i tink i handed over a decent 3/2 back to the form teacher and not one that is in disarray.. also there is sense of achievement that nothing bad has happened (no one complained.. no one died =P)...
but..
also feel abit lost n sad too.. lolz like wad zul said i m not used to it.. haha not used to b wo a form class.. hehe... so now i m a 'drifter' taking non-core subjects in mutiple classes.. ranging from
p1-p6.. gosh.. wth..
i fear taking the p6.. since i hav no exp in them.. n well i tink methods of control used in p3 cant b used on p6.. lolz.. well take it as an experience.. haha..
like one of the teacher said,
i got the best of both worlds... a form teacher for sometime n a non-core teacher for some...
so i guess i will count my blessings.. yar?

Mark Mark... Work Work..
heyo blog!
haha..
been sometimes and well i finally got the energy n some free time to blog, afterall somethings just cant b written on facebook.
well, life at the school is going fine. stress levels raising for the teachers coz of the mid-years. sigh. there r just some many ws to mark n practice papers to mark n go thru...
its an endless cycle.
anywayz, just as i was most needed to do work, got hit by a most very lethal flu bug. here how i tink i got it. last wk, i tink i was on a bus with frens to watch xmen origins. now thru-out a large portion of the trip, there was this kid siting behind me and he was coughing. now from the feeling how the air was blowing at me, i know he was coughing at me.
...but somehow i did not want to turn around and ask the kid to FO...
thinking that the parent will b a responsible parent, i did not tell the kid to stop or cover his mouth, needless to say the kid kept coughing away for most part of the trip. sigh...
so anyway.. that night when i was back at home, i started to feel a bit fuck-ish... felt abit of headache.. so decided to turn in. and then poof! i woke up on the next morning with a crippling headache and after measuring temp, found out i got fever. not to mention i got sore throat too..
fast acting flu sia...
so mummy dearest cancelled our breakfast date... and followed me to the polyclinic where becoz of the swine flu fear, we were given the fast lane.. n i was forced to wear a face mask n was asked to wait n sit in a 'quarantined' area... lolz...
all this while, the headache was becoming more crippling... and mummy dearest was being irritating with her consistent asking of concern.
well at least i got the medicine n was out of the polyclinic fast...
but then ... the illness din stop.. the nest day, i dun know why my fever shoot up again... kaoz sia.. sent the entire wkend popping pills (hehe).. and sleeping... n i was so crippled i cld not mark anything or plan any lesson plans.
sigh!
the following wk in sch was rather horrible.. coz i had to battle the fever.. though by then the headaches were just a background pain. thankfully by wednesday, i had conquered the illness..phew...
now i m just waiting for the mid-year to be over.. then can take a breathe of slow air.. haha...the rest wk has been busy like fuck...
a constant work of giving up mock paper, doing the mock paper, then marking mock papers.. then going thru the mock papers..
gosh.. all to prepare my kids for midyear.. n i dun know if they are rdy.. some of them are so not focused.. sigh sigh sigh... nonetheless i wished them all the best...
afterall my ass is going to b screwed if they dun do well.. =P

i m tired...
i tink i finally understand why last time during SJI annual parade or any Army parade.. no matter how horrifyingly bad i tink i am doing my footdrill... the sirs or encik will "Good good! u r improving."
which i always tot they r being too kind.. coz seriously although the sirs said we r finally banging tgt.. but i dun tink so loh.. it still sounds the same bird-dropping-ish to me.. haha also.. even when the sirs said we r improving... although lets b frank there is no difference at all so how are we improving?
but i finally understand why they say the things they say.. lolz
ytd.. was the first time i took part in the training of a NDP parade.. now now.. its just primary sch.. and its just Dazhong Primary School.. so there is only 1 contingent of mixed scouts n guides.. and there is only like 10plus ppl..
but marching they did...
anyway.. being pri sch kids.. obviously the standard of footdrill is err not there... but still the teachers, as in the seniors, were like praising them... saying they r improving.. until to a pt when ppl r obviously marching out of timing and the teachers still say that they r gd..
personally i was abit taken aback loh.. coz i tot its very obvious that the teachers were being very very kind.. but it seems to the kids .. that they really believed wad the teachers are saying and in a way.. by believing that they were doing well.. they actually did improve abit.. small but still improving..
interesting.... really
i guess .. the mind is really stronger than the (body?)

OK LAH!
i m back.. hehe
k i finally told myself.. enough excuses for not blogging lets get down to it...
anyway seriously its not like i dun wan to blog.. haha things do happen in my life and i find myself blogging in my mind, u know thinking, "ok i m going to write .. blah blah blah." but when i reach home, its just well a bit tiring..
after i finished marking... then do some planning of lessons... and some night type out extra ws... then log on computer... go onto fb.. change ONE sentence of status... and then SNOOZE!
haha.. yup
anyway life is good so far..
march sch came n go... class lost abit of focus after the sch holi.. took like 2 days to get back the lvl of concentration..
some kids r really trying my patience.. like coming 30min late for supplementary lessons twice! and u know the funny thing was for the 2nd time, i cld see him playing soccer in the field from the classroom..
how ridiculous that was...
oh wellz.. anywayz.. everyone is working towards SA1 now.. or wad we oldies call Mid-year exams.. haha. realised theres not much time left. next wk is eng oral (or blowjob) and then its followed by eng compo... and then finally exam proper starts... okok theres still like 2 wks more b4 exam proper starts... but .,. trust me.. from a teachers' pt of view.. theres no time... seriously no time..
i tell u its karma... as a student.. i used to tink i got all the time in the world.. now as a teacher i have no time left... karma ... very drama - mama
so work work..
oh the lighter note.. i eagerly await for some results .. no i not referring to the uni entry, i seriously doubt i can get into the degree course though i tried applying again. but i m referring to the sch approving my entry to NIE.. meaning i passed my intern-ship.. so anyway hoping for the best..
of course the result i wan is to pass n go into NIE ASAP...
i wan to b a student again
hehe
also.. i do miss going out like crazy idiots wit all my frens.. haha... but nowadays the priority of sch is so much more impt.. hmmm
anyway. save money also.. kl is in taiwan now.. fighting the 'war' for our spore grand armee.. as an OCT no less.. i tink theres still 2 more wks...
missing the 'meet up n do work' outings with him... cheap n efficient.. not that i mind the outing i hav with cw, ger n ty.. so dun snap at me like a mad dog =P
boy boy boy... whu wld know the world will change so much.. i dare say it wil change even more after 2 more wks.. haha.. thankfully its changing for the better.. those whu know wad i mean.. good for u... those whu dun.. well theres a reason why u dun =)
oh and ah lam is back.. but he is acting like a celeb.. too many outings being organised in his name.. n i dun know which one to go... i tink i m being invited to 2? hmmm
confused...
k now time now to tend to my L.P n emailed it to my V.P
L.P is Lesson Plan ... not a part of the male body
V.P is Vice Principal ... not the part that separates we males n females..
hehe =)

The Water Expedition
Last saturday which was the 14th of march, the teachers of Dazhong pri sch (well some of us) went on a kayaking trip..
haha.. how cool is that? a bunch of teachers going for a kayaking trip.. now now.. i know many of your r like thinking teachers r saggish ppl who just mark n mark... but no loh.. the grp of us that went to pasir ris park to kayak were of many many different age grp.. there were the under 25s(me).. the above 25 but not yet 30... the 30plus... and the 'dun wan to say age' grp.. haha
also majority of the teachers there were female.. hmm wonder why.. anyway.. to b frank, i was surprised at how active the teachers, i was expecting to see all young teachers joining but turned out not all of them were young.. really really admire those older teachers whu went for the kayaking..
i hope when i m at that age.. i will b just as active.. lolz
anyway the day started at like 9plus.. drove daddy's car to bukit gombak to park it at his car.. then waited for Emm and Shen Chin to arrive in their car to fetch me.. we concluded that its a waste of fuel to have 2 cars going to the same place.. so car arrived n Emm with her gps system. took us wo event to the pasir ris park.. lolz
by the time we reached paris ris park was like 930am liao.. meeting time is 10am. but of course ppl were late n wad not loh.. so shen chin was like humouring us wit his very lame jokes.. i tink its a malaysian thing.. lolz.. haha
dun b angry kl...
so when everyone was there liao..both old, young n unknowns.. it was like 1020am.. lolz.. we were late liao loh.. but whu cares. haha
went to meet up wit the Paddle Culture person.. put down our names n wad not.. ppl commenting that 'wah.. why got so young ppl one? 88 year one' haha yar it is weird to b the youngest there... so better fade into the oblivion..
so then was this very irritating briefing.. where ppl wun even listening to the guy.. basically he just went on n on.. gosh!... n he was saying all the ridiculous things loh.. completely no link one.. and we were like bitching abt him discreetly in one corner.. hehe
finally it was kayaking time.. hehe i got a single kayak.. happy happy.. now gwi was like saying why i so anti social loh.. but i m really dun like doubles loh.. haha all my doubles exp hav been very very horrible .. rmber phuket trip... haha.. anyway single more fun.. more control.. haha
so paddle paddle.. while paddling ppl r like bitching.. shouting.. talking.. shen chin n Emm were like super slow.. haha.. Jeslyn(god ma) was crying to rest.. but still trying... haha.. gwi n her partner sook peng were like the fastest pair.. n mr yan(the other single kayak) was like paddling abit, then sagging, then paddling.. haha.. i tried it later n found out.. yar actually wo paddling the kayak will also move due to the helping current..
the paddling was fun.. for everyone.. haha.. quite an exp too.. the river in pulau ubin was a killer.. since the current though helping us was abit strong.. so ppl cld not make change course fast enough.. haha we had ppl flying into fishing boats.. or ppl fighting with the mangrove trees.. haha.. gwi n sook peng actually capsized.. lolz.. coz both of them leaned to the same side to dodge a tree.. n thus they capszied.. haha..
funny...
on the return trip.. the seas became rather choppy.. coz we cld see it was going to rain liao.. haha.. quite fun.. very exciting.. coz the waves were like lifting my kayak up.. haha.. and i tink becoz of the choppy water.. our formation of kayak was like spreading like dun know wad like that.. until everyone was like super far apart.. and the guides din do anything.. tsk tsk
we stopped at a Kelong at the half way mark.. thats when i realised i m stil super sucked at balancing loh.. haha had difficulty balancing on the kayaking to go up the kelong.. had super scare when walking on very narrow planks of kelong.. again had difficulty going into the kayak from the kelong.. haha
my legs were seriously vibrating ar.. gosh!
thankfully all of us reached shore b4 the heavy rain came.. haha lucky lucky...
aha funnny thing happened when bathing. apparently shen chin n I took so long to bathe, all the gals were rdy liao. lolz.. kena bitched by them.. but oh well wad to do 'got image to maintain mah...'
haha
dinner at IMM was fun.. gwi was on high.. taking photos.. very very random photos..
nvr knew i wld hav so much fun with teachers.. lolz
after the whole thing i still had to go home to drive the car to fetch my dad at rochor place.. gosh where i got lost n had to do parellel parking.. sheesh..
that story i wun write here.. it boils my blood.. haha
*********
oh wellz.. i must say here though... becoz of the kayaking thing. i din go for my class outing.. n i m probably been pmsed at this moment.. sry to all .. =)
hmm i make it up to u k.. i so so promise i will got for audrea's dance concert...
ps dun b angry =)
***********
for the rest.. do look out at fb.. haha
hopefully the kayaking n IMM photos will b out soon.. lolz
haha.. how cool is that? a bunch of teachers going for a kayaking trip.. now now.. i know many of your r like thinking teachers r saggish ppl who just mark n mark... but no loh.. the grp of us that went to pasir ris park to kayak were of many many different age grp.. there were the under 25s(me).. the above 25 but not yet 30... the 30plus... and the 'dun wan to say age' grp.. haha
also majority of the teachers there were female.. hmm wonder why.. anyway.. to b frank, i was surprised at how active the teachers, i was expecting to see all young teachers joining but turned out not all of them were young.. really really admire those older teachers whu went for the kayaking..
i hope when i m at that age.. i will b just as active.. lolz
anyway the day started at like 9plus.. drove daddy's car to bukit gombak to park it at his car.. then waited for Emm and Shen Chin to arrive in their car to fetch me.. we concluded that its a waste of fuel to have 2 cars going to the same place.. so car arrived n Emm with her gps system. took us wo event to the pasir ris park.. lolz
by the time we reached paris ris park was like 930am liao.. meeting time is 10am. but of course ppl were late n wad not loh.. so shen chin was like humouring us wit his very lame jokes.. i tink its a malaysian thing.. lolz.. haha
dun b angry kl...
so when everyone was there liao..both old, young n unknowns.. it was like 1020am.. lolz.. we were late liao loh.. but whu cares. haha
went to meet up wit the Paddle Culture person.. put down our names n wad not.. ppl commenting that 'wah.. why got so young ppl one? 88 year one' haha yar it is weird to b the youngest there... so better fade into the oblivion..
so then was this very irritating briefing.. where ppl wun even listening to the guy.. basically he just went on n on.. gosh!... n he was saying all the ridiculous things loh.. completely no link one.. and we were like bitching abt him discreetly in one corner.. hehe
finally it was kayaking time.. hehe i got a single kayak.. happy happy.. now gwi was like saying why i so anti social loh.. but i m really dun like doubles loh.. haha all my doubles exp hav been very very horrible .. rmber phuket trip... haha.. anyway single more fun.. more control.. haha
so paddle paddle.. while paddling ppl r like bitching.. shouting.. talking.. shen chin n Emm were like super slow.. haha.. Jeslyn(god ma) was crying to rest.. but still trying... haha.. gwi n her partner sook peng were like the fastest pair.. n mr yan(the other single kayak) was like paddling abit, then sagging, then paddling.. haha.. i tried it later n found out.. yar actually wo paddling the kayak will also move due to the helping current..
the paddling was fun.. for everyone.. haha.. quite an exp too.. the river in pulau ubin was a killer.. since the current though helping us was abit strong.. so ppl cld not make change course fast enough.. haha we had ppl flying into fishing boats.. or ppl fighting with the mangrove trees.. haha.. gwi n sook peng actually capsized.. lolz.. coz both of them leaned to the same side to dodge a tree.. n thus they capszied.. haha..
funny...
on the return trip.. the seas became rather choppy.. coz we cld see it was going to rain liao.. haha.. quite fun.. very exciting.. coz the waves were like lifting my kayak up.. haha.. and i tink becoz of the choppy water.. our formation of kayak was like spreading like dun know wad like that.. until everyone was like super far apart.. and the guides din do anything.. tsk tsk
we stopped at a Kelong at the half way mark.. thats when i realised i m stil super sucked at balancing loh.. haha had difficulty balancing on the kayaking to go up the kelong.. had super scare when walking on very narrow planks of kelong.. again had difficulty going into the kayak from the kelong.. haha
my legs were seriously vibrating ar.. gosh!
thankfully all of us reached shore b4 the heavy rain came.. haha lucky lucky...
aha funnny thing happened when bathing. apparently shen chin n I took so long to bathe, all the gals were rdy liao. lolz.. kena bitched by them.. but oh well wad to do 'got image to maintain mah...'
haha

The meeting of my life
last friday was a most wonderful time for teachers of dazhong pri...
ha!
it was the parents teachers meeting.. or called Parents' Night.. lolz
anyway its like a start of the year briefing for the parents... not really a real parent teacher meeting.. but come on lah, the parents did not come all the way to sch just to hear u give them a briefing...
they wan to talk to u one on one.. grilled u until u become extremely crispy.. haha
thank the heavens.. my parents were quite nice.. then again my students r not really the problematic ones.. there r naughty ones, irritating ones.. but no attitude problems one.. which is good.. phew..
anyway.. some parents do make some quite big demands.. haha but then again i guess being a parent that wad u do.. afterall i understand their worries for their kids..
which parents do not want their kids to do well.. haha..
the meeting went well generally.. thing was the parents do hav alot of qns.. lolz.. n so the meeting was dragged for quite long time... haha felt so sry for some of the parents whu had to wait so long.. nonetheless none of them pmsed me which is thnk you thnk you!
and so far i got no parents insulting me... phew!..
most actually said i looked very young... i do hope they reserved their judgement for a while.. haha..
the next big worry now is mid year exams.. afterall the mid year exam or SA1 is recorded in record books.. so gosh... and if my kids do not improve i will die... the parents will rain fire on me... they definitely F-ed me like nobody's business.. so of course i m quite worried...
since my kids can sometimes b so so arrogant... haha..
i do hope when the SA1 comes... their grades better improve.. haha.. if not seriously ar.. gosh josh!
but oh wellz.. no pt in worrying for something thats happening in 3 mths times.. i shall concentrate on the task at hand.. which is to teach the kids the new topics for the 2nd term...
so wish me luck.. hehe

hey shoo... hey shoo!
heyo world..
haha.. i m back once again..
anyway now i m blogging from the staff room.. since there seem to b no time at home lolz..
the irony...
ok anywayz.. i had my first parent meeting session with one parent.. lolz i had the butterflies in my stomach when i did it.. haha felt quite nervous before meeting the parent.. but she turned out to b nice lah
thing is when i first opened my mouth, i used english to speak (obviously...) but turned out the parent or rather mother can only speak chinese.. of course i mentally slapped myself coz afterall the kid is from China so hence the mother shld b from China.. haha
but u see, the reason why i tot she cld speak english was that when we made the arrangement to meet up, an english-speaking person spoke to me, naturally i assumed that person was the mother.. turned out that person was actually the mother's lady boss.. ha!
anyway the session went well, except the occasional times when i was trying to find the right chinese words to use.. haha.. thankfully the mother was understanding n din insult my butchering of the chinese language.. hha
like i told ppl.. i spoke more chinese in that one session wit her than in an entire year.. lolz!
ok lah.. the mother was supportive of the kid.. supportive of me too.. she even praised me.. i know i know got some ppl will say she is sucking up but i choose to believe she meant wad she said.. after all she dun seem to b that kind of person..
and u know lah... some people can b so so obvious..
oh wellz.. i do hope all the next few parent meeting sessions will b that smooth sailing.. the next one is on friday.. friday night.. lolz when i got to meet like 20 parents of my kids. gosh
hopefully no one scolds me ar.. i was advised its better not to b too frank to the parents.. frank yes but being too direct can set off some very very 'protective' parents..
haha.. well like i said.. time to turn on the charms..
*gives smiles

i just marked my class 2nd mock CA1 English paper and well yes most of them improved... but out of so many of them.. only 1 got band1 which means he scored 85 marks n above.. sigh.. the rest scored btwn band2 - band3...
ok lah.. most scored band2..
but then ... they r supposed to b the 2nd best class.. and like wad 3/1 teachers lay hua said to me.. "your class should b aiming to score band1 while mine must aim to score above 91marks" aiyo!
i can only hope that the mock english papers r harder.. well almost all the eng teachers r saying that the mock papers r harder.. so oh wellz. hopefully thats the case loh
i really really want my kids to do well..
......
anyway.. sometimes i also wonder if i expect too much from them.. i hope not lah.. hahah
********

play with wad?
play with pencils, pens, eraser.. haha... rmber rmber? esp the boys, will take the pens and pencils and imagine they r rockets or big space ships.. and then they will have their own private space battles.. haha... and sometimes even got sound effect.. haha... some even better will have such strong imagination that they will 'build' a catapult using ruler n erasers.. haha.. and imagine they r fighting some siege.. lolz..
so cute lah.. to see all these kids trying to amuse themselves while waiting for the time to pass by...
of course they should b using the time to check n check their work...
but they r kids afterall..
i really think its damm cute.. haha.. and to think we all used to do that... when we were so so so young..

deep in the cold office of the school
hehe.. finally after a very long time, like 2 months, i got my lap top loan from the school. now at least i can do some IT work during my free time or at least log onto to MSN when i m free.
lolz
so now i m blogging ... in the office.. within 6 more mins i will have to go up to teach. will be giving the kids a CA1 english paper to do, and tmr need to return to them to go through. sigh so rushed. so go home tonite got to do alot of marking... haha
i do hope the class will do well in the CA1
anyway i m very worried abt my class. they r 3/2 .. second best class, and according to the other teachers they r suppose to get band 1 .. all of them.. omg lah.. how can all of them get band 1? i seriously dun know. of course the thing i asked myself is whether am i doing a good job. i personally think they wun b able to get 100% band 1 as a class... but all should b getting band 1 and 2 ... but then.. sigh.. dun know if i m aiming too low...
either way.. i do hope no one fails
anyway the other bigger worry is the english CA1, i know my class is good in maths.. but for english.. well i dun know lah... haha english is always hard to gauge.
argh!...
oh well.. bell just ring.. got to go....

The silver lining...
Its Monday.. haha gosh.. the start of the wk again
This is also week 8.. the week b4 week 9... and wads so special about week9? Week 9 is the CA1 week.. so week8 is like some spamming of revision and last minute squeezing in of knowledge..
afterall.. knowledge is power
anyway.. so rush rush.. got to give them mock test papers... then need to go thru somemore.. wah lau .. seriously.. haha
and i m personally quite worried for the kids... i m of course scared tat they will not do well and tat would equate to me actually not teaching well enough. sigh!
oh on the other hand, today i watched another soccer match.. very nice and thrilling sia. ok a little fyi, DZPS lost a critical game so now we are just playing for 5th or 6th position. yes 5th position has no medals but like what the coach say must lose with pride... so although we r fighting for 5th position also must put in our best.
so anyway DZPS was going against Princess Elizabeth Pri. and both sch r obviously dying to win. we scored the first goal and then thru a penalty kick Princess scored their first goal... now by then there was only like a few minutes left. so basically all the DZ teachers, including myself, were like shouting like dogs... telling the boys to do or die trying...
and suddenly it was like a surge of energy went thru out boys.
like bloodlust like that...
and they were trying for every single ball, challenging the opponent. It was desperate i tell you, because even if we drawed wit Princess, we would hav lost coz of the pt system. so anyway it was thrilling.. haha
and ...
and......
at like the last minute or so...
DZPS actually scored ... lolz..
so in the end we won..
haha i cant imagine i would get excited over a soccer game.. but yar seeing the boys play.. i m quite happy.
pity they did not play that well in the previous games.. thats the only regret...

Wad wad wad WAD?@!
Wad an interesting week i must say.. haha
first of all.. finally the class 3/2 is getting it tgt, personally i feel happy wit myself.. i have managed to merge the both classes in terms of lessons in a short of period of 1 wk.. thnk the heavens.
i was getting worried coz CA1 is coming up.. and it is very important i get both classes on the same track. anyway so yar, also i managed to control the class too.. and that always makes me feel happy.. haha..
now i always have a wave of helpers coming to help me carry things.. quite cute i must say.
anywayz.. last friday was Scout's founder day... and although i am no longer a venture scout.. i am a scout teacher in charge.. so the rest of the scouting teachers were telling me it wld b quite cool to wear my uniform. at first i din wanna wear, since the pants is huge.. but in the end i was like wth lah.. and i wore it lolz..
naturally comments flew.. most of them good =)
it was an interesting feeling seeing the scouts doing the scout pledge.. reminds me of how sji scouts used to do it too... like i said to kl its interesting to b on the 'other' side now..
so friday came n gone.. many irritating things happened .. i shant say more.. suffice to say it has nothing to do with the kids.. but the others .. sigh
oh.. on friday also the senior soccer team of DZ lost to Fu Hua Pri.. we were errr trashed i tink.. personally i feel our attacking was fine.. since there were times when we actually breached their defenses only to b stopped by the goalkeeper whose artillery kicks were rather deadly..
sadly our own goalkeeper.. was well not so gd lah.. and of course when our defenses were overwhelmed.. well lets just say he din manage to catch the ball.. so well bottom line we lost. and gosh! the boys were crying.. felt quite sad for them too.. although i m not their soccer teacher but i know how it feels to lose.. lolz.. horrible feeling..
but kids being kids.. within a few minutes they were playing with each other in the field.. hmmm.. haha
so friday went.. and saturday came.. and i went to Unity Pri for some Scouts Founder's day games day .. we decided to take shifts.. so i got the last one.. 2pm to 5pm.. at first i tot it wld b weird.. but it turned out to b quite fun.. the teachers there were funny and sociable.. and they were very interested in me when i told them i used to b a venture scout from sji.. haha..
and yes some of the scouters knew the ppl from sji too.. haha
after chatting for a while wit the teachers.. i went to find the DZ team.. lolz.. those kids are very gd and nice.. haha .. they know how to behave well, unlike other schools who were so naughty.. lolz!
followed them thru some of the games.. taught them a few tricks.. haha..
in the end.. Dazhong team got 3rd out of like 8 schools.. and dun forget some schools sent more than 1 team ar.. also also i must say this ar..
DZ team only got 5 ppl.... yet they managed to defeat teams of 8 and more.. and of better schools.. truly shows there r underdogs around.. lol..
i dun know why... but i feel proud of them all.. lolz
the bus ride back was interesting too.. since the kids were like talking so much.. haha.. they r really nice .. i was like 'selling' sji to one of the p6 kid.. gosh cant believe i was doing that.. haha
anyway.. some of the kids were even nice enough to walk me to the bus stop when we reached DZ.. now that really touched my heart
haha!

Aiyahhhhhh
today was the day of many changes in DZ.. haha
well first up i m now taking over the whole of 3/2. yup sham has gone over to a primary 1 class and she is quite wrathful about it.
i m also feeling quite screwed since suddenly i hav 29 little devils instead of 14. haha and the irritating thing is since the 2 halves of the class were being taught different things, now i have to waste precious time 'merging' the 2 halves of the class. Not to mention winning the hearts of the other half of the unknown 3/2.
Sigh!
and as usual, lessons plans are being thrown out of the window again. i dun know, it can get quite irritating u know, prepare finish everything and now all have to change, but i guess as teachers we must be flexible. i shall take this as an learning exp.
on another note, i m worried i m unable to finish the eng syllabus by CA1, so with this class merger, i really dun know how i am going to do it. seriously got to 'merge' the class and then quickly get on wit lessons.
gogogogogo!
sometimes i just wish the school gives us a bit more preparation time. haha
anyway.... one more thing... for 5 weeks now, i m going to be temporarily loaned to the school band (omg!) .. coz apparently band needs teachers while scouts dun need.. so for 5 weeks i m going over to band.. sheesh man!
even CCA also dun let go =(
i rmbered our TPP lecturer once said "other ppl's job is 8-5, they go off work and that's it. your job is 8-1, but when you go off work, you got tons of work to do.. marking.. setting paper.. CCA... your job never ends."
and of course that comes the most famous advice to all new teachers "dun give out your handphone number to your students!"
AIYAH!!!!

Of many small dragon dumplings...
yesterday evening went to holland village to eat this steamboat buffet with unlimited flow of xiao long bao with the army guys..
haha..
it was only like 24bucks.. and u get to eat as many small dragon dumplings as u want.. lolz. of course after a while, the dumplings can get quite grossed esp after sitting at one corner for quite sometime. lolz.
apparently if u let the dumplings sit too long in their basket.. their soup inside the dumpling will dry up.. and of course then it would not be that nice. However, although it was a buffet and we expected the dumplings to be of a lower standard, the shocking thing was that the dumplings actually tasted as gd as any other 'paid' dumplings.. lolz.. looks like crystal jade really upholds its name.
even more shocking is they will change your dirty plates for new ones, without even you having to ask them. now thats service.. haha.. oh oh and the refill of drinks is also very frequent, they have ppl walking around with jars of drinks, sometimes you dun even need to call them and they will come to you.
good service...
so for a lower 20plus buffet.. it is not bad.. oh the steamboat is also quite decent lah.. no seafood naturally, but theres a 100g of fresh prawns for each person.. which is about 3 prawns per person. And the prawns are really fresh loh.. haha.. big n succulent too.. haha
good food, good topics to talk about, good prices and good company....
now thats are truly nice outing..
the topics talked about were quite funny lah.. with junior telling us about 36SCE.. and seniors saying all about their lives.. working in the admin side.. teaching in school.. giving tuition.. and the sorts..
thank god got no whining ;)
oh btw if your really wanna go for this crystal jade buffet.. its better to book first because the amount of people there is like omg-ish.. it starts at 830pm and ends at 1am.. haha..
be warned though... booked already still need to wait for like 20mins.. coz well.. its that popular. =)
