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?
=)

Backlogged!

i finally finished tat horrifyingly huge pile of Worksheets.. lolz

tmr shall b a big dispensing day... giving back all those WS to the kids..

i m pleased wit myself.. coz i also managed to clear all the backlogged work.. which is good.. stupid fever last wkend really caused me alot of time..

i am resolved nvr to fall sick again!

well now that all the backlogged work have been done.. i can concentrate more on preparing the kids for the last dash thru mid-year.. worry worry.. white hairs lots lots

anywayz.. heard from some ppl that some sch have received their letter to appraise their trainee teachers.. hmm so far its all rumours n sort.. so wellz.. really hope something will come out of it.. hehe..

if it is true.. i really cant wait for the approval to go into NIE.. like some wld say.. need time to do an extreme make-over so can seduce the hoard of ppl in uni

lolz! like thats going to happen.... =.=''

one thing is for sure... i m rdy to become a student again... i have new found respect for lecturers/tutors/teachers now.. lol.. i am convincing myself to b a GOOD student when i go into NIE..

tat way whuever is 'up there' wun give me horrible students when i become a teacher =)

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
