just when i thought work was starting to get boring and monotonous...
i found new meaning in it again... taught a P3 klass today... coz miss au was still sick... it was utterly sweet... a class of 5... pretty noisy as well... but they were such endearing individuals... especially the boys... plz dont get the wrong idea... i'm NO paedophile... the way they struggled to get my surname right... the way they clamoured for my attention to a question they didnt know... the way they smiled when they finally understood a concept... the way they waved from the bus when i left the centre... MAN! it was the first time i felt so good about myself! i was quite worried that i joked ard too much... but even when i was not making an effort to make them laugh... they just did... but once again... at least i finished wad i needed to... explained to "MR. dunnoe"... which is wad i called one of the boys... the solution and answer to the sch work he had trouble with... yun de was especially cute... he reminds me of the spiky haired cartoon character... dragonball maybe??? really... and the girls... kept laughing... one of them asked if i were a lesbian... i wonder how that came about... was asked why at my age i was still watching cartoons... coz i referred them two times to cartoons during the lesson... which was true... i am still watching cartoons and am enjoying them very much indeed... but i'm happie to have taught them abt venn diagrams... useful knowledge even if they dont have to learn it... abt the platypus and anteaters.... that they lay eggs even though they are mammals... taught them how to derive information from from diagrams... special skills in answering certain types of questions... there's a quaint sense of satisfaction in that... a sorta feeling near the aorta... certainly addictive... coz it gives u a 'high'.... before going back to work at 7pm... went to library to return books... the testament which i din finish... will have to get back to that one another day... read a significant bit of tuesdays with morrie... incredibly enchanting... over some seafood spagetti... potato wedges... a cafe latte... and a brownie topped with ice cream... we pigged out... me and my bro... yummy! it was simply heavenly... esp the brownie.. its like the death sentence for dieters... but do i look as if i care??? actually i really do... borrowed Lord of the Flies... which was part of Stephen King's must-read-list... will get to that after my mitch albom's bestseller... if... i am still awake during my non-working hours... know this split shift thing really sucks... like my dad says... my life kinda bounded by this split shift... but bo pian... mr koh's away... for a few days... presumably bringing his malaysian relatives ard or otherwise... would just have to go on with it... until i can speak to him... i know my pay really sucks as well... but i guess it the monetary side can be offset with the satisfaction i get... i guess it's pretty fine... but the pay really vacuums... miss sim was really nice today... knowing that i'll be knocking off the morning shift at abt 1430... which was kinda late for lunch... she bought me buns... ate them while taking a short break with the straits times... printed lotsa stuff again today.. but at least... there was NO paper jam... THANK GOD! think miss siti is a tad too quiet for me though... feel quite uncomfy that she is my immediate colleague... coz i really DARE NOT speak to her... oh well... i guess it happens... but the best part abt work is that... i walked home smiling... ----Stef stopped rambling at 22:55 --Link to Post |
