Finally can rest my poor legs! Shopped for the whole day in heels...(ok, I asked for it myself). This is the FIRST time in my whole life spending so much money in a day! I spent a whole $200 today! Ok, $100 is on my own stuff & the other $100 on gifts for my parents --> A watch for my mother & cologne for my father...so happy! Ok, but I tink of the $100 I spent on myself heartache again. I bought a white top from Future State for juz $9! Actually cos of Shuying la, she working there, poor ger, long hours of work standing all the way. So I was juz taliking to her while she took different tops to intro mi, so I juz bought one la...quite nice. Then I bought this white halter dress from a shop in Far East. $20, but quite worth it, though I tink it looks a little too sweet for mi la. I also bought a perfume when approached by this salesgirl. Not that I'm veri interested in perfumes, but she's oso lyk waiting for A level results, den I see her work also veri 'xin ku', so I bought one frm her la, $25 quite reasonable, still include this membership card & dining vouchers for this restaurant at raffles place. Then I also bought 2 tops frm This Fashion, both at $10, thanks to Angie's discount card. Oh ya, and also a pair of sandals from Tangs, for my poor legs to walk around in school.
That's enough for my first pay, I'm not going to take out that stupid atm card anymore! But by the time I get my next pay, I'll make sure I'll treat my WHOLE family, including all relatives, to a big meal! I mean, it's only right that I do that lor...my uncles & aunties all super nice to me, since young till now. My aunty is even helping mi look for related CD-ROMS frm her school to let mi play for my students. She's going to help mi in setting of the test papers. And she's damn cute lor, was telling mi all the tricks in handling the Normal Academic students, after she heard frm my mum I was traumatized by them that day. Sigh, I juz love my family....* SoBz*

No school today! Early in the morning I was lyk praying veri hard they will not call mi up! Haha...although the opportunity cost is $65! But I realli needed the break la, after wad I went through yesterday. Guess tmr they'll most prob call me up, cos the teacher I'm relieving will want to pass me stuff. But it's ok, I'll be going for a GREAT shopping spree tmr with Angie! She very poor thing lor, working in a credit card company now & have to tolerate the unreasonable people. I'm not much better la, have to tolerate the kids. SO, we're going for retail therapy to unwind! So excited!!!

Going for dinner with the SBCA, just have to vent my frustrations out now, or else I'll realli explode! Went to relief teach again today. Then I went into 2N1, a class I'll be taking over next month onwards. Totally man...they dun give a damn abt mi, making a hell of a noise in class, I feel lyk juz slapping all of dem! Then one boy came & asked mi if I'm Miss or Mrs? Juz for the fun of it, I said Mrs. He was so shocked, but dun look lyk he doubt mi lor! He den turned arnd & tell another boy, "eh she is married leh!" Then dat boy came & say, "teacher so chio of cos married la!" I was lyk trying to control myself frm laughing. Den they asked mi how old am I? I shrugged my shoulders. Den they start 2 guess la. One say 20+, I shaked my head. Then dat one dat believed i'm married (he looks lyk the head of dat noisy gang), asked if I'm 30+, I said yes. Then he said "30+ but less than 40?" I said yes. Damn funny man, he realli believed mi! Den the other one dat say I pretty one a bit smarter la, he say," No la, looks lyk 18 or 19". I shrugged my shoulders again. Then they asked mi if I have children, I said "ya, alot." Hahaha..den i can hear dem discussing, one say impossible, another say, young oso can have children..Crap, all no brains one.
Then I went into diz sec 2 express class. Overall they're quite ok, doing their own stuff. Only for this one skinny boy. He asked mi wad's my name, so I said "Miss Fong". Then later I heard him say," Teacher u veri pretty, & squat behind his table. LAME. Then later he was playing a fool wif his frenz, so I stared at him. It's den I saw his frens telling him, "eh she looking at u liao!", & he looked smug. OK, i noe wad's he trying to do liao, he's trying to gain my attention. The next thing I noe, he's doing one hand push-ups at the side of the class, in front of the teacher's table. I asked him wad the hell he's doing, he said he got muscle-ache. Then he continued stretching in the funniest positions. HaR~ I noe wad he's trying to do so I purposely dun even look at his direction. Hope he muscle tear tmr cannot go sch ar...
The worst came on the last period. It's English lesson, den students frm 2N1, 2N2 & 2N3 combine according to their standards. So I'm seeing those monkeys again. They were making SO much noise & I can't control dem, the teacher next door have to cum in to scold, I was lyk SO humiliated, lyk I can't control the class liddat. I was standing there so looking so helpless. Then I heard the students shout,"teacher he ran out without telling u!" The next thing that happened was that those monkeys went to lock the 2 doors, so dat boy cannot cum in. I din stop dem, tinking dat who ask dat boy 2 run out without telling mi. Then they were making so much commotion at the back door I was so irritated. I went to the back door, open it, shouted at the boy outside," You wan to stay outside you stay outside." & slammed the door. Wad the...the bunch of monkeys went," Woahh!" & all clapped hands & cheered. By den my head throbbing already. After a while I felt I was quite harsh, I went out, dat boy was still standing outside. OH my god, I felt SO bad, he's actually a small timid boy & he looks lyks he's gg to cry anytime. So I asked him wad's his class. He hesitated, den said 2N1, but i dun believe him la, tink is 2N3. I asked him why he ran out of the class, he say is the boys lock the door one. I den told him to go back in & dun do it again. You noe wad!? He went to a corner of the room & squatted there, while the rest of the boys are making fun of him. I went over & scolded the boys (apparently they din care la), & as I was going to talk that poor boy, the bell rang. As I walked back to the staffrm, my heart wad throbbing, I knew I was going to cry any moment. So I went to find Mrs Lim to talk to her, I'm supposed 2 relief her frm next month. I told her I realli dun tink I can control the 2N classes, cos they lyk totally dun fear me, den I told her abt that boy I scolded, & dat I felt SO bad for hurting that poor boy's ego. She asked mi to relax & taught me sum ways to deal wif dem.
You noe, It's only until today dat I realised, I may not be cut out to be a teacher, I totally lost hope in everything. I feel dat I'm too harsh to that poor boy! Oh my god...wad can I do!?! I juz told Dulcia we have to eat something veri good later...work so hard, get myself all diz trauma, of cos must spend on good food la! I'm still not fully calmed down now...

Decided to blog now...cos most prob at nite i'll be busy preparing powerpoint. Today the sch called mi up to relief..of all days, have to be today! I've been slacking for so long they never call mi, den juz when I'm busy, they call mi, see la! Today cannot go Jo's house play mahjong liao! Had quite a bad day at sch today, when I saw the time-table for relief I got cold feet...bcos..i saw on the time-table, the dreaded class - 3E5. Die! They are a bunch of monkeys dat dun give a damn for the teacher! So when I'm supposed to go in, my heart was beating quite fast, altho i din show it la. Surprisingly they were not as noisy as the last time I went in. BUT, the guys seem to be playing this "secretly-slip-out-of-class-without-teacher-knowing" game. Wad the...it's onli when i overheard diz boy who came back frm toilet saying to his fren," there's lyk 10 guys in the toilet now!" den i finally noticed more than half of the guys were missing! Wad's done cannot be undone, so wad do i do? I focused on the back door & gave each boy that sneaked back in a cold hard stare. Game over, I won, cos all of them caught my stare & walked meekly back to their seats..=)
Then got this another class, is mixed la, cos they seperate the students into their english level. I was sitting there, being amused by this malay boy frm 2N3, he lyk making a fool of himself, but quite funny la. Den there's diz chinese boy, playing this game with his frenz, u noe the one dat u play 'scissors-paper-stone' den winner hits the hand of the loser? Ok, that kid was playing wif his frenz and laughing SO loudy, den there's diz ger screaming for help cos apparently she lost & he's supposed to hit her hand. Get a life la! You scared to be hit den still continue playing with him, obviously u lyk him rite? So irritating! Den I was so fed up i dragged a chair & sat rite beside that boy, giving him the "go on, play rite in front of mi" look. Then all his frenz went back to their seats..he of cos not happy la.
He said," I did nothing wrong wad..."
I told him," You were making so much noise."
He said," Laughing wad..."
Lame lor...I told him," Laughing oso can laugh softly."
I still refused 2 go back to the teacher's table. Then that smart-aleck said," Laughter is the best medicine."
I rolled my eyes at him before finally going back. Luckily he's frm 2N2, not my class...barbarians.

SO happy today! Cos i finally called up North Vista to ask if i'm still working next month, then they said yes! I'm supposed to go back on the 3rd of Feb! Finally..days of slacking & rotting at home is finally over, I'll go back to raising my voice, marking books & scolding students! Haha...evil teacher. Actually i kind of miss my students, the sec 1s. But seriously i'm quite scared of teaching the sec 2s, the last time I saw them they were damn rowdy lor, den I checked the syllabus I'll be teaching them "Sexual Reproduction", I cant believe it. I'd rather die man! Tink those kids will juz make it so difficult for me...aaargh.
Anyway I finally uploaded the Cedar Badminton gathering fotos already...not alot la, but will have more the next time we meet again when Lena comes back! Haha..I can't believe this, I'm chatting online with diz long-lost pri sch fren now, he revealed to mi last time when we were in pri sch he used to have a crush on my best fren! Then now he's lyk begging mi for her fotos...hahaha. Damn funny lor...but it set me tinking abt something. He's attached now, but yet he can't forget this pri sch ger he used to lyk, like 10 years ago! That is lyk so unfair for his present gf! I wonder..are all guys like that? Die...am i subconsciously developing this phobia against all guys? Oh DeAr......Must be cos of my relatives la! Aaaargh!

Surprisingly it din turn out too bad..the outing i mean. At first was quite weird, den was quite ok after we went Wendy's house. Maybe cos Dulcia & I were happily entertaining ourselves with the karaoke while the Wendy played mahjong with the guys. So happy for her, she was the big winner! GIRL POWER! Was quite surprised to see Daniel today cos lyk SO long nv see him liao, lucky he still rem me or else he'll get it frm mi man...One thing i admire abt him, is that he's still with his gf, who's studying in Australia now. It's lyk, not many guys actually can commit to a long-term relationship lor...thumbs up to Daniel! Next, Wenfang. This woman has sum screw loose, first she said she want to join the Miss Universe pageant, today, she tell mi she wants to be an air stewardess after she graduate. (U noe stg wf? There are more opportunities out there than these bimbotic careers u noe?)
Another thing, apparently my relatives, including my mum haven't got over the fun of trying to get mi a bf. Today when i called my cousin, he told mi he was INSTRUCTED by his mother AND my mother to intro sum "aspiring doctors" to mi (cos he frm medicine fac in NUS). I said to him in the fone," thanx, i can look arnd myself!" Den he said pitifully," But i've been instrcted to intro 'nan ren' to u..next time i go meet my guy frenz u come along." I buay tahan liao, i shouted into the fone," I can look for my own 'nan ren', thank u!" Aaargh, i seriously tink the adults wun let mi off so easily. My cousin juz msged mi on icq ask mi to go watch him sing at some med fac song fest, cos his frenz will be going den can intro mi. I told him to spare mi pls.........!

Tiring day man...juz cooking the food at Seoul Garden takes up more than half of my day's energy! They're still the same, as crazy as ever. Then we were joking abt the 2 "xin fu de nu ren", Christine & YY, both happily attached. Anyway took a few fotos dat turned out veri nice but my stupid digi-cam software somehow refuses to cooperate with mi today, so can't upload them today. Might as well la, since i'll be meeting the 06/01 clique tmr at Citylink for lunch, den can take more fotos den uplaod all at one go!
Anw tink i may feel a little out of place tmr cos sher say a few of the guys oso gg, but it's lyk, it has been ages since i'd talked to them..hopefully it wun be too weird. Wonder how they're coping in NS...oops, 4got they're in there for one yr already, keep mixing up with the 27/02 guys. Also, my uncle today actually tell mi to give tuition to 3 of my little cousins, they willing to pay any amt as long as i can produce improvement. Sounds normal rite? My whole family were laughing at the top of their voices lor, uncles, aunties, cousins. How cum? Cos it's impossible! Those kids are SO noisy & rowdy it's almost impossible to make dem sit down beside u to study for at least 5 mins! Aaaargh, hopefully i can go back to teaching next month..tink i'll call on mon to check with dem...pray hard...

Finally back home, spent my CNY in my Malaysia house with all my relatives. Mentioning my relatives gives me a headache again. You can never guess wad happened to poor mi on yesterday. Went to my aunt's house to "bai nian", den maybe it's the first time I wear until so proper when I go my relative's house, even before I step into the house there was commotion. No joke, I'm serious. (Actually it's not lyk I dress until super nice, juz how I dress when I go out to meet my frenz, white V-neck sleeveless top and a flow-y blue skirt.) I can hear dem from inside, "Wah, WanWan big lady already, so pretty ( they seldom see mi in contacts ), blah blah blah. "I was so embarrassed I stayed outside pretending to play with the little ones & dun dare to go into the house. My mother have to come out & ask mi to go in to "bai nian" to my relatives. Aaargh.
Then the first aunt I "bai nian" to, wished mi "xue ye jing bu". Den I said thank you to her. She continued, "Another thing, get a bf soon." I dropped jaw & said, "Huh?!" I mean, I'm 20 diz yr, not like I'm 30 & still single dat I need to be hurried for diz type of thing! Then when I went to have my lunch at the dining room, I can't believe it, my relatives are still discussing abt mi. They were telling my mum to hurry get mi a bf, if not they have a few to intro. I nearly threw up my mouthful of porridge! After I ate finish I juz rushed up to the 2nd floor to watch TV & came down only when it's time to leave. It's TOO embarrassing! I mean, juz bcoz my 2 cousins found themselves a gf already doesn't mean I have to hurried rite!?! I dun settle for juz any-o-how guy ok!? I learnt my lesson: Never wear so nicely to my aunt's house again.
Then in the evening we went in to stay in our Malaysia house. Pity my uncle din bring the karaoke player in, so we can't sing! But then they played mahjong la, tink I'm my dad's lucky star, cos I sat beside him throughout den he was the big winner last night! Haha. Then this morning, while my relative are hard at work at the field doing their gardening, harvesting sugar canes & limes, lazy me stayed in the house. My aunt then entrusted mi with a task, kill all the houseflies in the kitchen. Sounds lame la, but it's actually veri fun! You get a GREAT feeling of achievement everytime you add one more dead fly into the dustpan! The houseflies in Malaysia are really fat man... Haha. Then in the afternoon they played mahjong again la. This time my brother & I take turns to play. At first we keep losing & losing, den finally, I won one round! Then cos my tiles have "4 tai", I won big! Haha...was so worried my dad had to pay a lot before that. In the end of the whole session, we're the big winner again! Haha...=D
Anw tmr will be meeting the Cedar Badminton for lunch at Orchard Seoul Garden, our usual meeting place every year! Wonder how're all of them now, especially those I totally never keep in contact, like Christine & Ronghui, too bad Lena haven came back from Indonesia, nvm, I'll go out with her again when she comes back. So excited! Hehe, miss all of them! But luckily we're not playing badminton tomorrow, cos played with my siblings in Malaysia & my thumb kena blister!!! Must be their rackets, grip no good. Ouch. Wadever it is, I'll really look forward to our gathering tmr! =)

Poor frenz of mine...they'll be my guinea pigs, have to try my desserts! Haha...of cos i'll try to perfect my skill first la. Tink will be going to get the ingredients or accessories tmr. Anw bought an Anita Mui karaoke VCD too. ( Dun Laugh! I tink she's one artiste who realli have the STYLE! ) At $7.90, it's a real good bargain, original mtv sumore. Not that i'm cheapskate, but happened that the nice songs are all in diz vcd, whereas the $20+ ones dun have the songs i wan lor, dunno wad the hell were they tinking of. But her songs quite hard to sing...her voice realli deep lor...but i'll make sure i can master it by CNY, cos i'll be singing karaoke wif my family!

I came up wif a newfound theory: "Good-looking guys go for super plain-looking gers." Nobody is to argue wif mi on that, i have concrete evidence and proof to support my stand. Sad case...maybe now my single frenz will be more comforted. My cousin, who looks lyk wang lee hom, has a gf who looks super plain, the type u wun even take a second glance if u see her on the streets (oops, luckily he dun have diz website address or else he'll kill mi man...), den Tab also told mi of a similar pheonomenon rising in the case of her cousins. Aiyah...but i dun realli care la, i'm NOT going to make myself plain for the sake of attracting guys...independent women! hehe...tink staying at home everyday is killing my brain..tokking alot of nonsense nowadays...
Anw i juz changed the song for my blog, the title of diz song is exacty how i feel rite now... Those who noes the song title will understand........

Went out with 2 mothers today...& i mean it when i say "mothers"! Jo brought her sec 2 bro along to OP to buy CNY clothes, Cryst brought her P6 bro along to buy CNY clothes, & i feel so xtra man. Esp when both of them open their wallets to give their respective brothers money to go arcade...that scenario is SO motherly man! Dunno how cum we suddenly look lyk 10 yrs down the road, when we meet for our usual gathering, den they bring their sons along! Actually today i felt it liao...imagine both of ur frens have kids liao & u meet up, single, prettily dressed up, but no family yet. WAT THE.....( i warn the 2 of u...next time either u dun bring ur "kids" along, or u tell mi beforehand i'll drag my bro along too!)
Ok, enough nonsense...dunno wad the hell i'm tokking oso. I juz finished watching this drama serial on SCV, started watching onli few days ago. The main actor's character is the "Daoming-Si" type, & i realise, is realli veri mesmerizing! As in, dat type of character, not the actor. He like veri fierce & heck-care to his gf, but deep down he realli cares for her...sigh...so sweet. But this type of guy in real life lyk cannot find hor? -Back To Reality- Anw dunno y i nowadays lyk playing alot of aunt agony nowadays. Pple seem to keep cuming to mi 2 tell mi their love problems, these few days lyk suddenly hear alot of diff types of love probs. Tink maybe cos i'm not in a relationship so have a clearer mind, hehe. Now Marciella confiding in mi on irc...together wif bf 3 yrs, but recently he wants alot of personal space. wad's wrong wif guys ar? & she's veri not comfortable wif it, i mean, veri few gers can be comfortable wif it. So is it actually better to be single or attached? I guess one can truly be happy in a relationship if the other half is "the one", otherwise quite hard la....

I just msged dear Tabby to ask her how's she now...poor kid, feeling quite miserable now. But i muz say she truly inspired me. Let mi share wif all out there who needs a bit of inspiration & encouragement in the pursuit of the one whom u love...
Tab's been in love with this guy fren of hers since sec sch, i still rem the days when the CC gang have to hear abt her go on & on abt how he helps diz old lady up the bus everyday, how good-looking he is. Somehow, she got to know him, she happened to go into the same JC as him. Since he's 2 yrs older than her, now they're in NUS together, same fac. They're so fated, like as if everything is planned out for them, but he apparently did not show any special feelings for her. To him, she is his veri veri good fren. I understand how Tab's feeling now, imagine hearing the guy u lyk confide in u abt the ger he's interested in, & worse still, that ger is sum bitch frm our sec sch!
Today, Tab told mi she dun wan to be miserable anymore. She wants to tell him her feelings for him, and wadever the outcome, she can't care anymore. She juz have to get it off her chest, even if it means risking their frenship. But wad frenship is it if one have to be so miserable, everyday putting on a happy face & pretend nothing's wrong? Tab, i always thought i was the brave one in CC, but until today, i realise, i can't muster up the courage to do wad u r gg to do. You have my full support ger, go for it. Hopefully u'll be much happier after u tell him, wadeva the outcome...

Another day rotting at home, why is it that when i feel lyk working now den they dun call mi up?! But one gd thing is dat i went to the library & found the newest book of my fav author, one that i haven read before!Hehe...Anw, read wenfang's blog & i got ALOT of things to say abt it.
Why is it dat gers cant juz let go of a lost relationship graciously, & prefer to hang on to it, mourning over it lyk they'd juz lost the life of a loved one? I always believe dat even if u're hurting so much inside, even if u realli miss him, never show it. Leave sum respect for urself. Hey, i believe the guy will respect u for ur graciousness & even respect u for ur maturity, he might even re-think his decision of leaving such a wonderful ger. Instead, if u choose to keep mourning over it, whole life writing abt how much u miss him & the days spent together, how u'd wish to get back wif him...it'll onli make him lose his respect for u & confirm he made the right decision. C'mon la WF, no guy is worth it, worst still diz one, the first time i saw him i tot he's total crap. For goodness sake get over it & pls get rid of that foto on ur blog! Aaargh, totally buay tahan you...

Hehe...today i hot demand ar. Two schs called mi up early in the morn for relief teaching, but i accepted the North Vista one. Den my sis juz told mi her teacher din cum today, which means if i had accepted the Holy Innocent's instead, i would've been relieving my sister's class! OK, wadeva it is, i went to relieve North Vista today. It wasn't dat bad la...esp the sec 4 normal tech class, dat same one i went 2 relieve last wk.
When i went in, this group of boys sitting in front ask can they play cards. I looked up & said," u all can bring cards to sch meh?" Den they got the idea. Then aft dat one of them asked, "teacher, can i play cd on the computer & play thro the speakers?" I said, " U'll disturb the next class leh..." Den diz nice boy told the rest," Eh, she relief teacher we dun get her into trouble." Wah....i so touched..(*sob*) BUT in the end, they still played cards la. But i turned a blind eye & let dem play. Den suddenly i saw the DM walking towards the class, dunno wad came over mi oso, i hissed loudly at them & signalled. They hurry kept the cards & they were veri nice lor. They were lyk saying "this teacher v nice leh", den keep thanking mi. I was realli touched, as in realli, cos sumhow, their thanks sound truly sincere, like they're realli showing u their gratitude. Maybe it's cos they're from Normal Tech, sumhow their tinking is simpler & in sum ways, more innocent. Then when i left, that big malay boy, the "cher-wads-ur-name" boy, asked mi if i have a sister schooling there. I said no, den he was telling mi got a girl in sec 4 dat look exactly lyk mi...haha...wonder who's the lucky ger? =)
Anw today's mel's bday...went out wif them to celebrate for her, though was realli tired aft sch. Those women ar...working hrs so irregular, so diff to meet up, in the end i reach home at 10 plus...so tired.....anw jo's atrocious, dunno where she came up wif diz ah-lian style of "WAH-LIAWWW" that totally grossed the rest of us out. Jo, if u r reading diz...pls stop dat, or else u realli bcum ah-lian dun go tell pple i ur fren hor....

My head is in a twirl now...sometimes i realli hate to be the eldest, i'm expected to solve all the problems by myself, and it's not easy. My brother again...i mean, who else rite? He's always the one causing the whole family to worry, now even my younger sister worries for him, what type of brother is he!? My sis caught him wif his gf today, and she was veri disturbed by it, cos apparently that woman diao her, and she's super lian. Not that i'm being bias...but my brother deserves someone better than a "LIAN". Anw, his results lyk shit now, and it's his O'level year this yr. Sometimes i realli wish there is someone whom i can talk to abt all this, someone who can actually understand and help. I wish i can juz tell my parents everything & get that burden off my chest, but i realli hate to see them angry wif my brother again. One day they'll juz burst a vessel and that's it man. I mean, it's ALWAYS him. Wad makes it worse is that i doted on him since young, dote wrong person liao. =( I'm super disappointed in him now...i gave him chance after chance to mature & do the right things, but NO, he's still unrepentant. If i ever see that ger on the streets, i swear i'll give her the ugliest look i can ever give anyone, mark my words. And for my brother, i guess i can't bring myself to talk to him now...

My legs are aching lyk hell now...i realli learn my lesson now, NEVER EVER wear heels to go shopping. Went shopping with Jo and her sis today, den met up wif Cryst for second round. Let's see...7+ hrs walking non-stop in heels, gosh, my legs need treatment!! But today shop not veri shuang, onli bought 2 nail polish, nothing else. Jo la! Forgot to remind mi go back to Bugis street to buy my bag! ( Jo, if u're reading diz...rem u better go back wif mi another day for it! ) Juz heard frm Bert that Ms Wong is in pierce sec now...sumhow kinda miss her, despite she can't teach and stuff...so maybe will go with them on tues to find her. Muz rem to buy sumthing for her too...sigh, now that i understand it's not easy to be a teacher. Den Bert oso say Tan ST go MOE to work liao...haha, good riddance man! That's one piece of good news. Anw, below's the result of this Seasons test i did frm Wenfang's blog, pasted the results here. There's also a link for the same quiz...go do it, rather accurate. And also, do leave mi a tag to let mi noe which season are u! =)
You're Most Like The Season Winter ...
You're often depicted as the cold, distant season.
But you're incredibly intelligent, mature and
Independant. You have an air of power around
you - and that can sometimes scare people off.
You're complex, and get hurt easily - so you
rarely let people in if you can help it. You
can be somewhat of a loner, but just as easily
you could be the leader of many. You Tend to be
negative, and hard to relate to, but you give
off a relaxed image despite being insecure -
and secretly many people long to be like you,
not knowing how deep the Winter season really
is.
Well done... You're the most inspirational of
seasons :)

Right...they called mi up today at 7.15!! When i'm sound asleep in dreamland. And i'm supposed to rush down in half an hrs time. In the end i reached when they'd finished singing the national anthem, but luckily they never bother mi abt my punctuality. I'd never had such a tiring day before.. imagine sitting in for different classes for one WHOLE day non-stop, with onli 2 breaks in btw? I even nearly fell asleep in one class ah!
Then I totally disgraced myself today, 2 times in fact. There's this sec 1 boy in diz class, asked mi, "teacher, Switzerland is in which continent?". Apparently, he's one of the more hardworking ones in that noisy class. I was tinking it might be Europe, but i've never been a veri map-wise person. Instead of saving my face & telling him any answer, i said i'm not sure and smiled at him. He muz b tinking diz teacher y so useless one... Then diz boy in another class came up 2 mi with a sec 1 science WB, first topic: Apparatus in the Sci Lab. "Teacher, wad does this symbol mean?" (It's a plain X sign u see on chemical bottles) But how am i supposed to rem such stuff? So i said nicely, "i can't rem, cos i'm not teaching Science." LUCKILY that sec 1 boy blur blur one, never notice the big book place in front of mi on the teacher's table is written "SCIENCE". (But sec 2 la, so cant blame me for not knowing oso). This is crap, baby-sitting for classes oso need to have knowledge in all subjects...realli not easy to be a teacher man....

I'm starting to reconsider my lifelong dream of becoming a teacher...cos i nearly came home with a migraine today, & maybe a slight drop in hearing level. Imagine sitting in for a class of 40 sec 4 students, laughing and shouting at the top of their voices like nobody's business! I did shout a few times, "lower the volume!", it did help, for the next 3 seconds, then it's back to the original noise level. Maybe it's not such a good idea to be a teacher afterall. But I do get consolation from the sec 1 class i'm teaching...they are SO SUPER cute! it's as if i'm teaching primary sch! Got sum of them are so small & i juz cant help but soften my stern face when teaching them... so hopefully those stupid teachers will stop taking MCs so dat i wun have 2 sit in for theor rowdy classes & concentrate on my little kids...haha. Oh ya, one gd thing abt being a teacher, i juz found out today, is appointing personal servants as u lyk. By pin-pointing to any student & ask him 2 help u carry the books all the way up to the staffrm! Haha, i made one big burly boy from the rowdy sec 4 class do that today, i told him cos he was making the most noise juz now. It's for punishment. hahahahaha! ok, i gotta reassert my position as a teacher. Hmm. =)

Finally started my first proper teaching lesson. And it's only the first day that i received complaints from my students. One ger from behind put up her hand say, "teacher, can write bigger?", another actually walked right up to me and told mi i'm speaking too softly can't hear from behind. I nearly fainted man...Me, who has been screaming at my brother and sister everyday since young, speaks too softly! *FaInTz* Ok, treat it as a lesson, i'll remember to shout at the top of my voice in class tomorrow.
Other than that, i baby-sat this sec 4 normal tech class today, i nearly died in there. Firstly, they locked the front door, for dunno wad reason, so i, a teacher have to walk in from the back door. Then this scrawny boy walked up to me and keep saying, "are u teaching us?". I said "no, i'm juz realieving ur teacher." he continued by asking mi who then, is teaching them. While i was searching for the teacher's name, this huge malay boy with a darn loud voice shouted," Cher, wad's ur name?". I was still busy looking for their teacher's name amongst my wksheets, i shouted back, "u dun need to noe my name", he refused to give up and screamed at the top of his voice again, asking for my name. I was so fed-up at the noise level i shouted, "MISS FONG". "Miss Wong?" he asked. This is it, i said louder, "Miss FONG FONG FONG". Then, in unison, with a melody reaching the lowest & highest notes on the piano scale, the whole bunch of them went, "ORH~!~!". I nearly died shouting. That was my first encounter with a normal tech class....gosh!

Ok...had a damn LONG day today helping Tab cleaning up her NUS hostel. The distance from my house is enough to kill mi man...wonder how i'm gg to survive when i get into NUS...*FaInTz* The food there's bad...and wad makes it worst is that the weather to day was DAMN bad! So super hot and humid! Tab...bad day for moving.
It was quite funny at my aunt's hse juz now...almost ALL my relatives asked mi abt my first day in sch. My TCHS uncle & my eldest aunt even gave mi tips on how to control those students, those tips really help, coming from teachers so experienced. Tink they will come in veri handy. Er, other than dat, today's quite a boring day...anw for my frenz of 06/01, i uploaded the photos we took on New Years' Eve...

I'm now at YY's hse...came here straight sfter sch..tokking abt sch, it was a total bore man...all i did for today was sit in two periods for this sec 2 class, they veri cute ar, so obedient one. Will onli start teaching proper lessons next week, hopefully i wun be so bored then. But I love teaching, I love the enviornment, the pple there, the pay's gd, i even have my own table in the staffroom!
I spent New Year's Eve with my clique of 06/01. They're still as cute as ever. Wendy's still as crappy and cute as ever,Angel is still veri lady, Dulcia is still as sweet as ever. Sher, our onli lucky in love ger, was shouting David's name before being thrown into the pool by Kay Hock & Alvin..haha. Wenfang's a surprise visitor, turned up last min to join in the fun! Anw, we found out dat Alvin smokes, which is lyk so...WTH. I detests guys who smokes! total turnoff man!
In case my com still is not repaired by tonite, i betta add in a few more days' blog. Tmr helping Tab out at her NUS hostel, she ar, hire mi as a maid for tmr, help clean up her room. The pay? A plate of nasi lemak...I'm REALLY underpaid. Anw, YY's happily attached to this guy frm NUS now, guess she's realli happy frm the way she tells mi abt him...haha, I'm happy for her too!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, my com's repaired...finally. I swear not to let anyone else touch it for now! I updated the quotes section, found them in a realli nice book. So if u are free and have time, do read them, it won't take alot of time... =). Lastly, wish everyone will have a great year ahead of them!
