30.4.04
administered two tests today...
one for 208...
and another for the klass with the bballer...
coz the teacher is sick...
208 made me scold them again...
quite sick of treating them like kids..
but dont see why i should continue trying my best to help them when they dont even want to help themselves...
made myself available for them all the time to consult me on mole concept...
which they were taught when i wasnt ard...
but few actually did...
and more than two-thirds ending up failing the test...
marked the paper after i left the klass...
after i told them i was seeing no point in going thru concepts when they were giggling at their own joke...
feel bad that i have to scold the whole klass when the culprits are oni a few of them...
but i had to...
one of them sms-ed on behalf of the klass to apologise...
while i am heartened...
it just goes to show the amount of respect i actually command in their klass...
which is disheartening...
i really tried my best...
its not that i want prefer 212...
but we really get along better...
coz at least the pple there do listen to me...
i'm really tired...
havent been sleeping well of late...
just glad its a friday...

wonder if 486 and friends are playing ball this weekend...
need workout of some sort man...
ate alot today...
and seriously...
i'm back to the i-eat-becoz-i-am-supposed-to lifestyle...
plz give me more assignments, dear HOD...
it'll keep my sanity in check...
and my weight constant...

talking abt food...
mr cia's gonna be treating us later...
muahhaha...
yummy..
free food alwaz tastes good...
which reminds me...
ben k...
you're supposed to treat dinner next week...

see...
this is my i-eat-becoz-i-am-supposed-to theory...
why pass up on something like dat just coz of an ill-timed diet?

you know what i really dislike...
pple who think they are drop-dead gorgeous...
when they really arent...
keke...
my judgement might be a little flawed in that...

but c'mon..
relating to you stories which hopefully hints to you succintly that pple DO find them attractive...
telling you that so-and-so made a pass at them..
or what not...
find that abit trying-too-hard...
coz man...
if they really are that drop-dead gorgeous...
they wouldnt have to TELL me or anyone for that matter...
coz we KNOW...
thing is they arent...
thats why they have to dupe the world into thinking that they are...
by telling us someone else thought so...
so we should too....
think its starting to sound like sour grapes..
but i dont care...

dont these pple realise that they kinda ridicule themselves that way?
they need the rewind and playback buttons, dont they?
i admit...
i ridicule myself everyday...
but seriously..
in this way?
man...
it's quite hard to swallow...
what the hell is my prb today???

realised i'm probably the oni active blogger in my circle of friends...
dont really know how many pple actually read this...
and whether i need to censor or rewrite any of this for your reading pleasure...
do i look as if i care?
heh...
thing is...
i admit i do sound irritating and immature sometimes...
but its better to act like a spoilt brat who has a prb with the whole wide world HERE..
than BE a spoilt brat who has a prb with the whole wide world in reality...
i'm just a coward hiding behind the anonymity of the Internet...
the introverted Singaporean unwilling to get herself heard...
one who is having a terrible headache...
one whose brain is threatening self destruction in "5....4....3..."


but quite frankly i think life has been pretty kind to me till now...
like i was telling edward last nite...
i was probably kept jobless for the longest time so that i'll get this job now...
a job that is, indeed, an enriching experience...
students/colleagues of various kinds...
(one that pays ok as well...)


another sms from 208...
at least now i dont feel so shortchanged having to stay back all the way from the morning till late afternoon...
just to sit in for their pract that i dont have to attend...
but attend coz they prefer asking me questions than the other teacher...
the other teacher is great too, btw...
just that these kids have this i-dont-really-like-him mentality that they cant shake...
i guess till they can...
i'll probably burn all my fridays this way...
unecessarily...
