end of third week at work...
i'm definitely having a blast... seriously dunnoe what else i can ask for in a job... other than a timetable that doesnt end at 5 plus almost everyday... i'm happy... i really am... rushing from klassroom to klassroom... student to student... pantry to washroom to workroom to cubicle... teacher to teacher... i need to run... i need to be occupied... a different challenge everyday... this is it, man... had consultations with students for a large part of the day... first with the girls of 208... then with the girls from 212... then jeremy caught me... then shaowei waited for jeremy to finish before getting me to start on chem bonding... and then the practical with 208... i was walking ard the whole lab talking all the time... answering all their questions... pointing out all their mistakes... never talked so much in my entire life... *pants* think i drank gallons of water today... which proved to be useful... we had health screening today... blood tests... urine tests... hence the usefulness of the gallons of water... i'm fine... great blood glucose level... which was a surprise... considering the amt of sweets and ice cream i eat all the time... chlolesterol level was normal... blood pressure normal... though a little low... only that i was right at the edge of acceptable weight... told mr cia that if i ate lunch... i'll probably go down as overweight already... oh well... mr lim played the organ in the screening room today... gosh... he COULD play... that oni after he said to me that he could oni play mary had a little lamb... and sang it to me in hip-hop fashion... "..." he is one crappy teacher... utterly... but utterly fun as well... was suaning him abt feeling the pressure to tie the knot and all.. he replied saying he wanted his money to stay as his... "..." and i asked him abt his name... the calvin part... who gave it to him... well... it was his cousin... and it WAS becoz he reminded his cousin of calvin in calvin and hobbes... with shorter hair and specs though... damn! i'm good! poor guy is still coughing away... can recognise his cough from two ends of the stairwell... heh... he better get it cured... was telling me its an occupational hazard... but oh well... it is SUPPOSED to get better, no? and we finally found out... mr sung is married! heh... somehow i realised that females are usually more open abt being married... that probably by the first 2 days of knowing them... you'll actually find out... but guys tend to be different... you might just work with the person for months without ever knowing... but i guess it's ultimately up to the individual... and whether or not the topic actually comes up... oh ya... his baby kid is coming soon too! way cool! but probably after we leave MJC though... students were cool today... the klass i conducted was teachable... but i hope they understand everything... thats all i ask... mr tan marked their tutorial last week... the scores are horrendous... scary... wonder if they will pass the next test... am entirely worried... chin poh keeps taunting me in klass.. somehow i guess he cant swallow the fact that someone oni 2 years his senior is trying to teach him chemistry... received alot of challenges from him... and whenever i do hesistate in giving my replies to questions... he has this conceited look on his face... he asks me questions but when i answer... he keeps putting me down... as though he already knows... and i'm just being a pest... i dun really know wad to do... but i guess... oh well... i cant please everyone... it's almost as if my days came to a standstill now... while i looked forward to the well-deserved break over the weekend... i realised i had nuthing to do again... not nuthing... just not planned... got stuff to mark... lessons to plan... questions to solve... but is that how i wanna spend my weekend? wanna meet up with the bball team... been some time since we last saw each other... but i guess they more or less have their schedules packed... i'm supposed to rejoin training... loony quit already... so that leaves samuel alone... with the newbie... i want to windsurf... but the thought of being under the verbal abuse of coach... the physical torment... the psychological strain... i crumble in fear... i'm a coward... even though wsfing seems like an extreme sport... with injuries aplenty... yet pple go back after dislocated shoulders... jellyfish stings... broken bones... all i have is a chronic ankle problem... and i'm MIA for months on end... so much for carpe diem... ----Stef stopped rambling at 20:35 --Link to Post |
