i know i'm not supposed to be in the workroom...
got piles of marking on my desk...
but i had a terrible morning...
i had to let it all out...
shrek: better out than in, i alwaz say!

mr sung came back to work today...
showed me the baby on his digicam...
man!
that is one cute boy!
ms teo says he looks like mr sung...
but oh well...
boys have to look male, dont they?
but can see that mr sung is obviously a happier man...
though he did add that the baby has proved to be quite a challenge...
well..
this is probably my first time where my 'fren/colleague' has a baby...
so exciting!

bad part of the morning...
208 was horrid...
almost half the klass DID NOT bring their tutorial...
and the other half DID NOT do the questions i assigned...
wad the...
was damn pissed la...
c'mon think abt it...
your teacher here bothered to restudy the whole thing just so she could teach you...
even tried so hard till she can conduct the lesson without an answer sheet...
and you cant even do 2 freaking questions?!?!?!?!

and its not that the questions were super hard or lengthy...
they just din bother...
it is my last week here already...
why cant they make it a good week for me?
i oni ask for them to do their stuff...
not even an A for their test...
which, btw, was super badly done...
and i needed to repeat myself countless times for them to take out their tutorials...
one guy had the cheek to tell me it was troublesome...
if it were that troublesome...
i suggest you dont come anymore...
its just a waste of time...

i told him straight in the face...
sometimes i wonder whats with these pple...
dont they have any sense of responsibility???
i cant possibly walk out of their klass...
coz the truth remains that there are some pple who want to learn...
who did their work...
wad a dilemma...

been marking their test...
no amount of leniency can save them from their failed grade i tell u...
i even gave marks for NAQ...
gawd...
wad is the world coming to?
very soon...
even wrong answers have to be marked right so that these spineless individuals can just pass their tests and exams...
sometimes i just give up...
i sit down i stare...
i wanted to cry...
but i guess this stint has made me a little tougher than before...

sometimes i wonder whether emotion is a weakness or a strength...
the ability to feel...
the ability to love...
dont you sometimes feel that it only weakens Man?
make him vulnerable to hurt...
which invariably brings him pain?
i know this sounds far fetched...
stemming from my frustration with my students...
but sometimes the pieces just falls into place...
the world aint perfect after all...
