and

So the last day of school was on friday (: I supervised the classroom cleaning. Yay to me, I have a one month holiday! Swam in the afternoon and then went for bash meeting. Yknow what, I NEED GOGGLES ): I’ve been swimming without goggles these few days and my eyes become dry and itchy and tired after that. Bloop.

My hair, it’s onethird gone ): ): ): I want it back. I want it to be long.

Saturday morning. I washed the toilet again. It’s become my weekly saturday routine. Actually, I’m slowly learning to enjoy it. Haha, really really. 10.30 at Novena starbucks. Sorry I couldn’t be of much help. I hope you felt better. It just was really horrible, sitting there, not knowing what to say or do, just staring into space, wondering why on earth I suggested something that, on hindsight, seemed so stupid.

(:

Then it was lunch at the Hong Kong restaurant. And FEEESHING after that. We drove all the way to Changi coast and the sun was so hot! Most of the time I was quiet. Stared into space, called mean, and kept quiet. Too quiet, eeks. And then when all the fishing was settled, we played abit of cards (: I taught them 3 man bridge yay.

Next time, I promise to open my mouth :O Haha.

After that it was ahma’s birthday. And then Jumong, one episode only! ): And then, meowz ): Guilty was me.

Met mean again a little earlier before church. Church, lunch, dance. Dance was nice and cheery today (: Chilled with tan and chun after dance at Coffee Club.

Dinner at aunty patsy’s house. Laksa and orneeeee (: Just came back and oh I really felt like a mum just now. Me & 3 kids trapped in a room. Lauren, Megan & Christine. Being a mum’s tough haha. It’s tiringggg. First it was jumping on the bed, then demanding to be carried, then taking all the toys off the shelf (and slowly putting it back), then one of them wanted to do somersaults on the bed, the other started jumping around wanting to follow. It was ‘carry me!’ and ‘help me do a bridge!’ and ’show me how you split!’ and ‘help me take that box can!’ and more more more. After that it was hide and seek and guess who was forced to go around searching for little ones hiding in the toilet? Then there was the ‘why cannot play this one! i don’t friend you’ (-.-) part. And the ‘don’t run out of the room!’ aaaand then the books came out and ‘read for me!’. As if two’s not enough, in came Lauren and so on top of all their demands, it was ‘uh oh is she gonna fall off the bed or put that thing into her mouth?’ HAHA YES YES (:

My next week’s gonna be busyyyy. Tmr and tuesday’s packed. Monster, maam, ahtan, contractors dinner. Monster, facial, clique dinner. And Wed to fri is FTB FTB FTB. And thursss, it’s gonna be tuition gang reunion HAHA (: What’s cls. Why am I the cls troublemaker?

Oh and I’m slightly sunburned from the fishing :/ Don’t wanna think about wed to fri. I don’t wanna be chaota please.

YAY its 11.15 (:

And I’m gonna be holidaying from 7-17 June (: YAYS even more.

It always seems that there’s nothing worth mentioning. Maybe this maybe that, I seem to not be able to do anything anymore. I’ve lost out to all the rest. Maybe I’m just making it worse for you. What happened to those times.

will i ever.

Holidays are starting tmr (: School holidays. Or rather, work holidays :D Yeah. TGIF.

Tan came back on Wed and it really made my night (: Haha. Guess I wasn’t really expecting it. But happy is me.

Yesterday was excursion day (: Geog trip to hydroponics farm and LTA gallery. It was quite fun actually. But the weather was HOT. I made a friend :D :D Yay, finally. After working for slightly over a month, I finally made a friend, who’s a girl (hooray to that), AND my age (: And we were put in charge of a class for the excursion yesterday. Yay. Could talk talk talk talk.

But we were kinda blurr and didn’t know which hydroponics farm it was supposed to be and the bus uncle got a little pissed :/ Got two free packs of xiao bai cai HAHAHA. LTA gallery was nice! (:

I finally mailed out the thing to Indo. The stamps cost 3 times more than the THING! ): Baaaaa.

Who has rounder face?!

For dancers, technique is a tool. Don’t be a slave to technique.

a bad line

Nevermind, it’s okay la. I’m used to it already.

):

Doesn’t that sound oh so familiar? No one should ever need to erm, feel that way. I should be the one to change! Haha.

Right. Elaine came yesterday in the afternoon and we watched How to lose a guy in 10 days (: Ooh the nightmares a psychotic girlfriend could possibly be. Haha. Humdeedum. And then we played wii!

Charles & Keith gave me a brand new bag, YAHOO. Shall try that with mphosis too. Called mean last night. It’s been a long time since we talked on the phone (: SILLY.

dream :D

When I’m very bored at work,

(:

BLOOOOOP.

I realised my face is getting rounder ): IT IS.

Got my dreams, got my life, got my love
Got my friends got the sunshine above
Why am I making this hard on myself
When there’s so many beautiful reasons I have to be happy.

Flying first class

I’m going to watch girls’ soccer finals today! SA vs VJ (: And guy’s soccer 3rd-4th play off on Sat (: So exciting, I haven’t done this in a looong time. Heehee.

Yesterday was very nice (: Went back to SA with lame and char. The school’s security is so lousy now. Anyone can just walk in haha. SA primary has this new big game machine. We stood there watching the small boys jump around hitting the big buttons. So cute :D

We didn’t get to see Casey and K )’: Ohmy. Damn sad. We were 5 minutes late! They left at 2.45 and we arrived like 5 minutes later only. But anyway, we had a nice loooong chat with Peh and Faizah. Talked for around an hour. Plus? Not sure. Very nice (: And when I told K that we were 5 minutes late, she msged to say RATS, she was really looking forward to meeting us. Hahahah. I, didn’t know how to reply ): So nice and sad, yet a little scary.

Went back to our homeroom! And oh we had a fun time reminiscing (: Do you remember flying first class? Hahaha. And the inflatable float plane that drove our chinese teacher nuts. We were so childish, worse than the students I’m teaching now I think :D :D Haha.

I MISS SA !! ): Bloop.

Borrowed KOTC from lame (: Hahaha. Brings back fond memories of Cedar days and oh, two of you, go check out precipitate-! Haha.

And then went for the exchange talk at night. SOOOOO TROUBLESOME OMGGGG ): Im confused and lazy. And then twas dinner.

This morning was a grumpy morning. I’m listening to sad songs now. And I’m gonna email all my favourites to her NOW. :D

cos you, give me, something.

Listening to random songs with nice words (: Haha, love.

Marked marked marked yesterday and watched more iswak. And to monster’s house for dinner and then dance. Dance was quite okay yesterday. So happy it ended early. And lianzy’s back! So I have a friend now :D Haha. And I liked the songs they used yesterday. Including nobody nobody but chew (: So silly. Then to ICB after dance for awhile. I just sat there and kept quiet most of the time heehee.

Oral this morning and I was so sleeeeepy I wanted to doze off. They gave us bao and tea today (: Much better than yesterday’s suan mei! Haha. The Sec 3s today are quite weak at oral. Hmm. And I changed their conversation topic to something more interesting. I don’t know if that’s allowed actually, but don’t really care. (: It was better anyway and I got to know what career they want to pursue in future. It was quite nice hearing all their ambitions. Much better than knowing what’s their favourite hairstyles. :P

TGIF soon (: And going back to SA today, yahoo. Can’t wait. I’m still abit scared to see K. What if she disapproves of what I wear? Hahaha. Alright, back to marking.

1234 high 5

1 Oral this morning was, enjoyable. Sec 1s are so cute :D Especially jcdj (: Whee.

2 ‘Not grumpy like how i usually am with her.’ What’s that supposed to mean. Haha.

3 A cemetery and operating theatre combined together is a biopsy room. When I was really young, I wanted to be a forensic pathologist :D But soon after, I figured I couldn’t do science for nuts. I think I still wanna be one, secretly. So cool.

4 Dinner yesterday was at Miss Clarify Cafe (: We talked about my students and work mostly, though I’d rather have talked about our email (: Bloop, it was nice and comfortable. We should eat somewhere next time.

5 YES CHERYL, I WILL BE IN SCHOOL AFTER 2PM TOMORROW. I SHALL SEE YOU THEN. That was damn scary. For a split second, it made my heart beat faster and I was just thinking ‘Omg, shit.’ That’s how powerful the aura of her name is, and it proves how nightmarish she was. Haha.

why’s it like this?

Don’t care, I’m gonna take a break and BLOG (: I realised I’m very bad, like someone always says ):, and so I password protected the entry with the students’ answers in it. I shouldn’t make fun of my students anymore, even though. Oh well.

Friday, saturday & sunday was nice (:

Wenta his grandma’s house after school to help clear up some of the old stuff on friday. There were lots of weird stuff like coins and medals and Turf Club tags, and a massive (and rather impressive) stamp collection. Haha. Spent the whole day slacking away (: Very nice. Rest is always good.

Saturday morning was change bedsheet and wash toilet morning. I wanna learn how to cook too (: I shall become more, domestic. Haha. And then we had lunch at lao pasat (:

And I ate my claypot dried chilli frog leg :D Yumyumyum. Then to Coffee Club to drink Earl Vanilla, and walk around abit (: I like the cbd in the mornings and nights, when its empty and windy and quiet.

Wenta Bugis after that. Bugis street, bugis shopping centre and Iluma (: Ate more haha so greedy. Iluma’s quite nice and empty. I like bugis (: There’s so much food and stuff to shop for at bugis, but it’s always so crowded!

And we saw such a long queue outside the toilet, it really looked like there was a toilet sale. Hahah :D

I saw a nice guess watch too!

Dabaoed food home and Jumong-ed till cg time (: I like ecclesiastes even though it’s confusing and, meaningless. Haha.

Had lunch with mean at AMK Hub after church on sunday. The HK cafe again (: But this time I ate baked rice yay. Next time I want the black pepper beef one.

Food pictures make me happy :D Haha. Went shopping for awhile and we stayed so long at the shop that sold lotsa cheap random clothes, like those online. Almost bought this starry starry shirt and a white dress. Haha, omg, shoppaholics ): Those people in the shop were damn, annoying. They kept coming up to us with 2-3 dresses and kept pushing them to us all the time. They were like, desperate, hungry for business. But I ended up buying a bag in the end :D No clothes, though I think the white dress is prettaye and the starry starry shirt looks big and random. Haha.

In the end I had to go back to change the bag cos of a faulty strap, mega annoying. And I had to take the display piece! After that monster picked me up and we drove to changi coast to fly kite :D :D :D

Kite flying is <3

Boing (: Enough pictures la huh. I like to fly kite. Changi coast was so windy and empty, there was like no one. And there were planes flying over, and the very very beautiful sky and sea to look at :D And chocolate cupcakes to eat haha. Yay. Dinner was at his grandma’s house, lotsa curry, haha.

School’s the same. Was oral examiner yesterday and today. Talking to the students make me feel happysad inside. Some of them are so sincere and genuine and they say what they really feel. It was like very real? And they’re quite poor thing. Alot of them talked about how they were worried about their studies and all. It was quite sad and I really hope they’ll do well. There was this girl who was so nervous and she talked about how her maths was very bad though she practices alot and she’s very worried cos her parents are overseas and they worry alot for her as well ): I tried to give them high marks (: And today’s oral also. Some of them are very frank and its funny and sincere. You wanna laugh cause they’re really so cute and you can always see how they’re trying so hard. But still it’s very sad cos yknow their standard isn’t really there. I really feel sad for them ):

And marking compos, is hilarious. When I first read I couldn’t stop laughing. I mean it’s a stress reliever and all.  But after reading 2 or 3 scripts you realise how bad they all are in English and you just feel kinda sad for them. Like why are they like that? Why can’t they even string words together to form a decent sentence? They’re really very poor thing. Like their grammar and vocabulary are all wrong. They don’t know how to use alot of words. It’s just horrible, horrible, horrible. Yet, very sad. There was even this girl who wrote 5 compos because I think she didn’t understand the instructions. So she wrote that she chose Questions 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. I mean, funny is funny. But its really very sad to see people like that.

It’s just so different from last time in Cedar and SA. In Cedar and SA, I could write in perfect English, with no grammatical errors and still get like 18/30. Here, the standard’s just no where near. Here, you can have a compo full of errors and they’d still get 18 cos you just wanna try and pass them. It’s just mind boggling, like why Cedar and SA’s standard can be so high but here, they just lower their standard until, nothing. And now that I think about it, those people that I used to think were not so good in English are still better by leaps and bounds. Here, I give them 18. If this was Cedar, they’d get like 3/30. Serious. Hmm, it’s just, I don’t know. Why like that? ):

I always think that teachers should just be more kind hearted and pass everyone. But sometimes, it’s impossible. And it really won’t do them any good. Like how can we pass them out of pity? :/

Okay, it’s time to go home and mark more. I promised I won’t make fun of my students anymore. I don’t think its very funny anymore also. It’s so sad.

When they asked me that question, I felt, strange.

pass/fail.

I have no time to blog. I’ve got to mark all the compos, which by the way, are very ): When I mark, I feel very sad for them ): It’s like, I wonder how they’re ever gonna pass.

Their phrasing and sentence structure, omg. And as I mark and mark, I can’t help but keep thinking what Casey Leong and Ms K would say if they saw this.
