knee prob

knee problem is coming back again.
this is crap!
losing my voice, suffering frm flu.
too much to bear for 65bucks.
=/

monday monday

bought my levis shades!
wanna know the price?
i wun tell you unless you wanna sponsor.
=D

anyways, today was great!
201 is improving...at least the chinese boys are with me now..
now im enjoying their company!
=)
this week gonna be a fast week again..
crazy thurdays, i have 11 periods straight with onli one 30mins break after 5 periods.
my voice is essential in this profession.
eileen and eugene both lost their voices.
poor chaps.

yes yes.
driving!
im giving up public transports.
hmmm, good nights.

happy week =D

hellos.
at last, its friday once again!
im so duper glad that this week has been an eventful and fulfilling one for me so far..
=D
rmb i mentioned that im gonna give 201 letters.
i did and im so thankful for their responses.
they're no longer terrifying monsters.
they're now cute monkeys though i know they'd forget what they wrote to me in their replies.
nevertheless, at least the effort was recognised.
the rest of my students are simply great.
seeing them enjoying my lessons and even appreciate the notes i prepared for them, there's nothing more i can ask for..
=D
oh! and now im Mrs @#*%^*&!!!
Im MS ONG!
anyways, they're fun-loving.
im loving my job more and more.
at the same time, im helping out with the netball trainings.
though i havent been playing for 2 yrs.
i feel that my skills are still better than some for the sec 3s and 4s.
look at what brenda did to the team and she left the mess behind.
gosh.
the new sec 1s are the hopes.
they have the potential.
and the PE HOD did ask me to call back netballers frm my batch.
which i can rmb, are sabby and joyce.c..
sabby joining during her hols.
joyce i gonna ask her soon..
i love netball..cos its the game that bond ppl together.
and it does not injure any part of me..
i love squash too..cos its the game that u own entirely to urself.
but it comes with heavy price; injuries everywhere.
=/

and i've thought of an alternative route for me if i dun make it to the 3 Uni's in Spore.
gonna apply for UOL.
=D

ARGH!
i want to drive during CNY!

blood diamond

weekends ended just like that.
well, evss band night on sat turned out to be ok..
im not expecting alot from the performance anyways.
spent half of my time talking to sl, another half talking to eugene.
since im not paying much attention, so i shant comment too much.
right after the concert, sl and me went to fetch sab before yc and yx join us for blood diamond.
yes, blood diamond.
the show that reflects true cruelity in our everyday lives though most of us dont know whats going on out there.
if you wanna get a diamond, think twice!
anyways, i doubt that movie impacted us.
nevertheless, kids are innocent!

went out with my mum the whole day.
new year shopping!
not done yet, we'll continue next week!
=D

tmr is another sad day.
i prepared a letter for 201.
i wonder if they appreciate or they'd probably throw them away.
i dun no.
i wan to see get smth out of it...
hmmm....

fucked up

extremely fucked up.
what a friday to be.
at least i've smth to look forward to tmr..

tired tired tired

TIRED!
my eyes are closing in seconds, but just let me get this done.
its friday tmr!
weekends ahead, band concert on sat.
not really interested in going, but heh, teachers are compulsory.
bullcrap.
anyways, played mahjong with yx, yc and zx just now.
won an amazing figure of 29bucks.
=D

hmmm, im gonna sleep.
good nights.
=)

simple lamour skin

my new skin.
how is it?
anyways, im too tired to compile notes for my cute lil monsters who are taking their CAs next week..
i'll be doing the notes for them tmr.. and submit for printing on thurs.
hopefully i dun see my notes flying ard as paper aeroplanes.
lessons with 201 on monday was disastrous.
lil monsters fought during my lesson.
they're not cute lil monsters, they're terrifying-monsters.
eugene have given me an idea how to deal with them next week.
i'll try it out..and see if it works.
=D

driving today wasnt kind to me.
parallel parking was totally screwed.
i need to pass my test nevertheless.
=/

rainy days

the perfect weather to stay in bed.
rain has made me more sleepy than ever though im already sleeping alot on hot sunny days.
i love sundays, i hate sundays.
i love sundays becos i get to sleep all i want, i get to go out, i dun get to see students, i dun have to talk all day.
i hate sundays simply becos of one reaason, THERE'S SCH TMR!

i wanna screw SBS and SMRT.
they dun make sense when they fix their bus and mrt fares.
why do i have to pay 74cents from orchard to city hall.
ridiculous price for 3 mrt stops.
i used to pay only 40cents.
but that's not the point.
the point is, 74cents is too much!
i have to top up 20bucks every week and that explains why im so broke even when i have free lunchs and breakfasts and perhaps dinner.
transportation fees is a bomb.
bombing a hole in my wallet.
i need to get the bloody license and drive my own car.
i shld be able to complete my full course by next week.
fast heh.
but firstly, sl got to pass to boost the morale of many others taking the test after him..
=D

oh ya, watched kungfu mahjong with them ytd..
yes, recommended!
do watch with a bunch of mahjong kakis..
=)

i hate thurs.

male teachers cant fold cranes. =)

my clock reads 6.48pm now.
i din wake up from my nap this time round.
i just came back from sch.
what a thursday to be.
shucks.
just as eugene and i are planning happily for lunch with mr ee right on stage giving boring assembly speech, andy had to appear and inform us of the staff meeting at 2.45pm.
THAT'S NOT THE WAY TO SPOIL A BEAUTIFUL THURSDAY AFTERNOON!
there goes lunch, afternoon nap.
with the greatest reluctance, three of us went for a quick lunch and surprisely, we were late for the meeting.
meeting was held at art room, we went in and all teachers are alr there and mr ee is speaking.
but worry not, more teachers came later than us.
we were told that meeting wld end at 5pm. as ive always knew, evss nv release on time and heh..meeting ended at 5.45pm.
its unfair to put blame on mr ee as most ppl assume that staff meeting is all abt the principal addressing and teachers listen.
we are all wrong.
the principal only do the start off, teachers do the rest. so, its a combined effort that meeting ended so late.
attending staff meeting for the first time, i was actually quite taken aback at how the meeting goes about.
we did briefing, talks, games, exercises, refreshment, talks and more talks.
a new experience to understand more abt this profession.
never thought teaching requires this level of professionalism..

an initially beautiful and sweet thursday afternoon was spent like that!
listening to at least 5-6 teachers speaking on everything which probably i cant be bothered with most of the issues as they're just nonsense to me.. and thru that meeting, my workload is now heavier. the sch wants form teacher to do lotsa unnecessary stuffs which they assume that it helps our students in a way..
well..im taking money so i shld just do the job as told.
and teachers do get restless after long hrs of meeting and that's smth cute to see.
i see teachers actually msging throughout the meeting and engage in their own private conversation.
i was no exception, engaging in my private conversation too.
=)
extremely long day for all the teachers, and so i conclude that thursday is the worst among other days.
and to make the worst day worse, the rain went on for hrs..longer than the meeting lasted.
but the consolation is that, i got a lift back by eugene's dad.
nothing can get worse when things are already at their worst.
oh yah, im losing my voice by the end of this week.
have been talking alot this week.
i talk the same things over and over again...
asking all the sec 1s the same qn, "So, any idea what's Geography?"..
the ans they gave make my day!
adorable kids i teach, im not refering to 201.
cos they're lil monsters that destroy my day!
i dread every monday from 8-9am.
and now, i got my record book to rush..
glad to know that im not alone thru this whole process cos eugene and andy will be rushing theirs too!
=)

tmr's gonna be friday.
i survive another week after tmr.
i realise the importance of weekends.
its the time i talk softly and talk nicely.
those are the things i dun treasure before i was thrown to students who talks louder than me despite me being a teacher, is given the priority to speak at all times. they just dun bother.
putting aside all the complaints, im enjoying the job.
=D

another sch day

currently stuck in the staff room..
i've finished all the lessons today..
pretty well done i wld say.
gonna do relief for maths later.
LUNCH!!!!
i haven really been to the canteen yet..
canteen is always crowded, food changed.
anyways, i have nice breakfast every morning. =)
i wan to go home!!!
i wan to sleep!!!
one week down the road, i pocketed $325.
getting my esprit watch thru eugene's mum.
sab's getting one too..
like finally! wonder whats the discount..
i drove ytd, i mounted kerbs ytd..
the instructor purposely make me strike kerb so that i learn how to do correction..
overall i did pretty well for s and crank course!
taking my test in a mth time with regard to ytd.
meanwhile, i'll slack as i cld since i finished my lesson plans for this week as well..
good week..apart from 201..
=D
oh yah, this job makes me realise the importance of public holidays.
im really looking forward to march hols, which i'll be gg bintan leaving behind naughty students and forever-building lesson plans!
=)

first lesson with 201

had my first lesson today.
not a good start cos i took 201 for the first two periods of the day.
their rowdiness is not something we can imagine let alone endure.
throughout that 1 hr, i wasnt given any chance to speak.
a simple sentence alone like, "Pay attention to me and you'll do well for tests" can take abt 5 mins to finish.
that was how tough im trying to capture attentions.
and the moment i promise them no homework for social studies, they went on with the "yay-ing" and that took abt another 10 mins before minimum silence and attention are once again found then i can proceed with, "But, that is provided im given sufficient cooperation and time to finish all the assignments in class."again, from that sentence, the "boo-ing" session starts.
so basically, once i completed any sentence, the class will take their time off and probably when i keep totally silent for a great amt of time sufficient to discuss alot of issues, then will they pay a lil attention to me.
that's how rowdy the NTs are.
Incorrigible bunch of kids!!

after the 2 periods with them, im so duper glad that i wun see them for the rest of the week!
a big piece of news to anyone taking NT classes.
=)
later part of the day, went on to sec 1 NA and Exp.
they're all well-behaved kids as compared to 201.
willing to listen and im given sufficient time to dispatch whatever information i need before actual lesson starts the next time i see them.
hopefully they cooperate with me cos i promise them no homework if they behave.
well..
kids never love homework.
as for my co-relief teacher, eugene, he has his ways with students.
fancy "bribing" all the classes he went into with mentos sweets and the trick works.
HAHA!

anyways, lesson plans for this week is almost done.
evss granted me a lappy and now i can google talk in sch as well as friendster!
now i have access to all the drives in the sch system.
feels great for the moment as i think back when i was a student, even using the sch lib com can be a hassle.
and now, i own a lappy on my own.
how cool can things get.
for the rest of the week, i expect things to run smoothly.
=D

first week of sch as a teacher

my desk in sch..=)

finally has the time to blog.
was really busy for the past few days.
still busy now but it's a saturday, i cant be expected to work!
arghhh.
lesson plans!!!!!
naughty students!!!!
but there're nice ppl ard to work with =)

was having camp with the sec 1s for the past 2 days.
and yes, i've sun burns now on my both arms.
after so long not exposed to sun..
anyways, bintan is the place where i get all my nice colors back!
=)

meanwhile, i'll work hard!
be back with more interesting stuffs..though im not allow to disclose any information regarding any students.
=)

new year, 2007

Hmm..
2007 started of with loud yam seng at sab's place.
as usual, s.o.x avoided the crowd outside and had our countdown at a place only us.
yupps, 2 tables of mahjong accompanied by the 24-card game!
basically we mahjong-ed the night away.
what a new to start new year.
but this year there's no new couple born while last year we had mh&ben.
we'll see abt it again in 2008.
=))

1st Jan 2007.
Nothing particularly i did when i woke up.
had mac for lunch cause we're all lazy to go out.
once i get my license, i'll drive my dad instead of him complaining lazy!
that's my goal for early this year.
get my license and earn more money.
earning more money is a problem.
how about, save more and spend less instead?
that seems a bigger problem.
nevertheless, i'll try.
how much can i spend if half of my time is in sch.
canteen food is cheap.
evss canteen food is like 10 times nicer compared to meridian which totally cheated me for 2yrs.
anyways, not any more.
bye meridian awful food!
here comes evss yummy meat balls!
=D

3rd Jan 2007.
Any other year before 2007, on this day, i'll simply put on my uniform and get ready for sch to meet friends that i haven been seeing over the dec hols.
however, this year gonna be a lil different.
I'll still be going to sch but this time, no uniform, not student.
a new experience and hopefully i dun screw it up cos i haven read my geog textbooks due to icy tower!
btw, icy tower is the new in thing now.
making half the sox going crazy over it.
=P

by this time, my dad shld be out of the toilet.
so thats all.. i came to blog cos i dun get to use the toilet..=)
i'll be reading geog tmr.
i swear!
good nights!!!
