eyelids damn heavy...
but i'm trying to blog anyway... had a mixed day... din start off too well... but i guess it picked up and wat not... oh well.. started with 208 being influenced by rumours abt the test answers... i wouldnt call it cheating coz not everyone, who heard it, wanted to hear it... asked them to give me an explaination before i started to assume things... but flipped through the paper before i did that... and evidently... the answers that were easy to remember... eg MCQs... were all rite... but structured questions were totally horrendous... some told me they din wanna know the answers but pple tell them... and i tell them they were obviously influenced coz everyone got the same answers... nevertheless... half of them failed... even though i din penalise the influence of the rumour... a paper which was so easy i expected everyone to pass and feel good abt themselves... wanted them to pass and boost their morale... i was sad... not angry... coz they were simply just cheating themselves... did alot of marking.... then went to play badminton with stella, jas and mr lam... quite fun la... mr lam was super... retiree who was making us run ard like mad dogs... picking up shuttlers we couldnt hit in time... but he said i was impoof-ing... GP teacher who likes to make fun of the not-so-perfect english... but he was very impressed with jas' undying attitude and energy... i think i was more bent on getting back to my marking... but at least i think i had a couple of good shots... and other than my SMACK-but-shuttle-falls-on-head trick... i think i played ok... crapped loads with the rest of the teachers... mr sung, mr lim, mr cia, mr lam, the RTs... the thing on my phlog.. coz i was licking on some peanut butter biscuits... shiok rite? so cant resist la... mr lim was like "u like that, all your exercise gone to waste laioz la..." i replied "i dont care..." and he suaned back "i can see..." arGH!!!!! spoke abt serious stuff with mrs bong... she teaches me things no one taught me before... someday i should really get a notebook and record all the cheem cheem things she says... i will really really miss these pple when i leave in two weeks... i din work for long or for alot of places... but i think this is good enough... will miss this job... today was MJ's sports meet... jas ran for triton house.... which was leading till someone took a fall... but oh well... at least now we know although jas runs funny... she runs fast... mr cia and mr lim ran too... the latter being ultra vain... having needed to change into special top for running... oh well... think he looks cute... jas and i told him he look more like a student than us... *pengz* was sms-ing one of my students today... then he suddenly msg-ed... "btw, i think u really a nice n gd teacher (not trying to polish boots...) and i will TRY to finish tut 8 and 9..." while i know it was a desperate attempt to escape handing up work... i was really motivated by that sms... thank goodness for students like him... have a few in 212... pple who make teachers feel good... despite the fact that the teachers are lousy... met up with my sec 4 klass today... kinda amazing... we had almost 20 pple squeezing into two small tables at marche... who cares abt the NO CAMERAS sign? overwhelming response... all of them look so different... prettier, cuter, sweeter and what not... but it was such a warm feeling seeing us all coming together like dat... told jingpei i missed having her irritate me all the time... and everyone else... but my table were mostly pple i see all the time... bernie, yollie, serene, jiahui... but so glad to see xiaopei, weilin, joy, yilin, jingpei, huishan, minyu, chinglu, yeeting, jill, kahming, htay yu, berwine... gosh... thats almost half of the klass... cheers to the organisers... walked to esplanade... sat on the floor.. made lotsa noise... walked to the merlion... where the hell is xiaopei!??!?! made more noise... some went embargo for drinks... but me still grounded... nevertheless, reached home at 11 plus.. eyebags... not smart when your day started at 6... didnt want to mark papers on my journey home... so called ben k... thot he could crap with me on my way home... but ney... he was more eager to hang up than anything else... been a while since i last spoke to cy so i gave him a missed call... exchanged a few sms... before i finally gave up and called him instead.. spoke for a while... from kovan to sk... from sk to bakau... from bakau to my doorstep... we wanted to meet for dinner before i go for the AJ concert tomorrow... but reckon it'll be too much of a rush considering he cant make it earlier... oh well... decided on troy on sunday... hopefully we'll get tickets... considering it's troy's first weekend... and that he wont have to rush back to book in like wx did last week... somehow... felt that cy sounded more mellow... more grown up... i guess NS really changes a person... its a good thing i guess... he's a busy bee ya? helping fish with his business ambitions.. enriching his life by taking up courses and wat not... paid 400 bucks for some seminar next week... crazy stuff... kinda makes me feel i'm wasting my life away.. haiz... am hoping he'll choose to go to NUS next year... would be a blast if everyone's in the same uni... esp my ikea buddy.. the one who gave me the grey bear... which was rubbing its eyes... coz i alwaz rubbed my eyes like dat... ----Stef stopped rambling at 23:59 --Link to Post |
