"...only when the ears and the eyes shut off...
can the mind be calm..." -quoted off a CHN8 drama left school after 7 today... class ended at 4 actually... but as usual... 212 was utterly enthusiastic abt meeting behind the assembly area... so i stayed in... marked the test that they did... in which they did better than before... coz it's much simpler... and hopefully... it has something to do with the fact that i sourced questions from my AJ tutorials for them to practise on... and spent alot of time revising redox with them... but at least i'm finally reaping returns of staying in late everyday... wanyu told me that philemon felt that i was a good teacher... my students trust me enough to confide in me... the looks on my students' face whenever they finally understand a concept... mr sung telling me that i'll go far in life with my kinda work attitude... far but very sleep-deprived... to which i replied "i hope so..." my students 'acting' disappointed when i told them i'll be leaving end this month... at least they bother to ACT ok!?! kids, from other klasses i took, waving to me and greeting me... man... i dont need the money anymore... the job satisfaction is overwhelming... what more can i ask??? ermm.... shorter timetable? super alot of things to do tmr... mark tutorials... mark tests... plot pract graphs... type test answers... play badminton with my buddies... reschedule lab lesson... wanna clear this week's work THIS week... think i'll stake out the staff room again... smoke the others that i'm working damn hard for my 65 bucks... till evening when 4/3's meeting at suntec... been like 2 years since we last got together... woohoo! the closer ones i see all the time... but those that weren't that close... hmm... never even bumped into them in town... alot of pple ard had a haircut this week... mr lim and mr sung... not much difference... but evidently shorter... chunxiang, the bball siao guy... who got a drain cover cut... ya know... the parallel lines on the side... i think something like what yujin wanted... and some peeps in my own klasses... crazy stuff... i also wanna cut... the... heat... is... totally... unbearable... jas and i kinda realised something... alot of pple dont really thank pple who open doors for them... ok... forget it... we meant other teachers... some do... but some simply just walk past as if it were only right that we open the door for them... we were like "?!?!"... arent these pple supposedly highly educated... and therefore civilised, well-mannered individuals who thank good-natured individuals who keep doors open for them? kinda decided that too much education also means arrogance and i-am-above-all-others mentality... it's not that we die die want/need pple to thank us when we do nice things... but sometimes... it only goes to show how pple take for granted simple acts of kindness... well... therefore jas and i concluded that we're nice, well-mannered pple... okok... at least we TRY to be... din watch AI last nite... dunnoe why... coz its usually on my must-watch list... reckon i was too tired last nite... and rather spend the time deciding whether or not to change my blog template... reckon i really like this present one... so readers who are bored with the grey stuff... sorry... its MY blog... watched a CSI: Miami though... darn... liked yesterdae's episode loads... it was sad... very... one of the stories had a boy who killed his father who was abusing his mother... and the mother shot the priest who the boy confessed the murder to... to protect her son... i was like... shattered, to say the least... the other story was bad too... cant convict the guy becoz of lack of evidence... but gawd... he killed two lives and got away scott-free... damn... so much for justice... well... hopefully he'll get his deserts... marked some tutorials this morning... and gawd... lucky i did... some mistakes were horrendous... telling me tat calcium was covalently bonded... and that iodine had metallic bonds... c'mon! this is freaking 'o' level stuff lor!!! piangz... and she still talks in my lessons... kinda tempted to just shake her out of her i-am-smart-so-sue-me mentality... asked her to schedule a brainwashing session with me... need to rewrite some of her most basic concepts... some others too... but they werent as bad as this one... *waves white flag* mrs bong also has the same prb with her students... design experiments for physics... and all sorts of stupid answers for that... still remember something someone in AJ once wrote... experiment was abt the sound frequencies... and something abt bats being able to sense sound we, humans, cant hear... thing was.. they just needed a set-up to measure sound frequency... sound from anywhere la... someone gallantly suggested tying up the bats and beating the daylights outta them to make them make noise... if you're that someone.... i'm really sorry to use you as an example... but it was truly a classic... well done! ----Stef stopped rambling at 19:56 --Link to Post |
