beautiful monday...
not supposed to have klass ya?
but ended up taking ms goh's 205...
while 207 was taken by jas...
supposed to take both actually...
but the way AJ taught redox was really too different from MJ...
so i left the other klass to jas...
lest i confuse them too much...
205 got pretty messed up by me...
was mixing up oxidations and reductions...
and stuff...
gawd...
lucky i'm leaving soon...
so they probably wont sack me just coz i am lousy NOW...
its too late man...
just too late...
unless i try something like hitting a student with a i-love-my-kid parent...
then i'll probably be banned from teaching forever...


have a number of consultations lined up today...
havent got a clue how to fit them all in...
well...
like i mentioned...
as long as they have the drive to learn and understand better...
i shouldnt actually deprive them of any help i can provide...
i dont think they actually consult me coz they think me apt in helping their understanding..
probably just coz they feel more comfortable approaching me and what not...
coz we have more of a senior-junior relationship...
than a teacher-student relationship...
which is good i think..
better for communication...
just as long as they dont start climbing all over me...

like stella was just saying...
it's definitely much easier being student...
tired students can just go to klass and space out...
tired teachers have to still pretend they're having a ball of a time even when they're totally dreading the lesson...
really think teachers are a bunch of misunderstood people...
like benny said before on our way to play pool..
educators are probably professionals deserving the most respect...
before you think i'm attempting self-praise...
i volunteer to take RTs off that list...

its a sacrificial kinda thing...
a rather wei da kinda job...
like you force students to do work...
hand up stuff...
they start to find you naggy...
dislike you...
but ultimately...
it's for the students' own good...
teacher doesnt get anything in return...
except for the wrath of the students...
students never seem to be able to see the bigger picture...
appreciate the things their teachers do for them...
i dunnoe whether i mentioned it before...
but i really wanna go back to AJ and thank every single teacher who taught me...
coz oni when i started teaching...
been in their shoes...
have i realised how difficult it was for them...
esp since i was rather difficult a student..
bottom 5 in entire chem cohort was an amazing feat...
i probably will...
when i go for AJ's choir and dance concert on sat...
if i do see them yeah?

slacking the day away rite now...
kinda amazed at the amount i actually crapped thus far...
sometimes i feel that i'm only writing for the sake of writing now...
crazy feeling...
just that i cant stop the urge to blog...
maybe i should just do a truman show based on my blog next time...
i wonder who would actually watch it...
cool rite???
then all you people reading this can be my scriptwriters or producers...
but i dont think i can afford to pay you...
i'll probably have to pay the TV station money to air my show anyway...
but dont think i can afford it ya???
oh well...
guess you cant have everything your way...
hmmm...
do you think TV Mobile would even consider airing my show?


okie...
i should stop before i bore my readers to sleep...
maybe they ARE sleeping already...
but come to think of it...
if they are asleep...
they probably cant scroll down...
and read this part ya?
oh well...
