Nothing much today la...but now feeling a little bothered (if dat's how u call it )...Tab noes y...sigh. We're on the same boat again! Always one lor! I wun be surprised if we even get married on days close to each other man...if u noe wad i mean...
Anw nothing much happened today..din wan to blog today, but back aching frm lying on the bed for too long liao...hafta force myself up. It's juz lyk, I'm lying on the bed, listening to radio, and juz refuse to leave my bed lor! Lazy bum...Today, I made the 6 failures frm 2N1 do push-ups in class today...so fun. Finally can punish dem! Who ask dem to not study for my test?? Even my naughty boys studied lor!! Anw I was taking count for them through the mic lor...so shiok, felt lyk I was having PE lesson or something...I always knew I'll make a better PE teacher than a Science one...sigh. Anw tmr they'll be having the bottle rocket launch competition tmr...I'm bringing my digi cam to take foto of my darling class at work! Then cos the number of bottles still not all in..so I bought a whole 1.5 litre of coke juz now. Then asked my family to help finish it.

Juz read finished Minyu's blog...and I feel I realli need to add sumthing to it. Sumtimes when we feel dat we are sinking deeper and deeper into a bottomless pit..it's understandable dat we can't stop ourselves in time. But it's also true that we have a choice..to try to stop ourselves in time, or to let ourselves continue falling. Falling in love is no big deal, but falling in love with the wrong person IS a big deal, esp sumone of a totally wrong age. Pple always say to follow ur hearts...but after a few setbacks, I learnt no to follow that quote blindly...because...the heart is not right all the time. K...i tink i'm beating arnd the bush or stg. In short...Min, I'm in no position to say anything la...but I hope u'll make the right decision k?
Anw...today's another bad day (which sch day isn't?). Had double period wif 2N3...gave dem a test. But one good thing is after I marked finish I was veri happy dat Zhenhao passed lor (even though the rest failed...) Then at the end of the day when he came specially to ask mi abt his results...I showed him his paper (i gave him a "very good" chop beside the marks)..den he look so happy u noe!?! I'm so happy too! *GrInZ* Then after classes wif 2N3..I had 1N1. Wah kaoz...totally sucky man. The boys were making a hell of a racket...and my soft voice is not helping lor! Then when I can feel the smoke coming out frm the back of my head, that bunch of "helpful" gers... start using books to fan mi, frm all directions. 6-7 squikey gers tokking to u to "siao qi" at the same time...it's surprising my ear drums never burst. the next lesson wif dem I noe wad i'm gg to do liao...learnt frm Minyu...I'm gg to walk out of the door and slam it hard on those idiots! Hahaha!
Then it came to my darling 2N1. When I made dem settle down, gave dem test paper, surprisingly they realli quiet lor! It's been ages since I can achieve that standard! Then as usual lar...I expected it liao. James, Li Mei and co. were trying to ask each other for answers at the back. I stopped dem many times but I'm not surprised if they managed to get a few across la. But well...it's not included or anything so I juz try my best to keep it minimal la. Then I noticed my darling Edwin sitting by himself..I walked over asked him wad happened. He looked up, gave mi a not-so-happy look, den say they all copy liddat I nv stop...it's unfair u noe? Wow...it's the first time I heard Edwin tokking liddat...so I shouted at James they all to stop it cos it's not fair u noe!? Ok...Edwin's not amused. Imagine...the life of my lessons, today look so seriosu and pissed...it's no wonder I get sian too. Then I tried to cheer him up but no use. Imagine...juz this morning he walked pass mi he say "teacher later i try to snatch bottles frm u again ok?" den gave mi the cheeky smile. Sigh...den when I was looking through the discipline book...I tink I found out the cause of his unhappiness. He's booked today during music lesson! Apparently for using vulgarities or stg...please please please dun suspend him...otherwise my class will be SO boring! Den naughty boy Leonard suspended liao...haiz...

Anyway juz now in 2N1 I juz can't stop being amused by my darling Edwin...he's SO CUTE!! Firstly, he looks cute, secondly, his actions are cute..and lastly, he is simple cute. Haha...crazy boy, came and challenged mi to play badminton this Fri..den when I say the loser must give treat, intending it to be a meal, he immediately say "$0.50 drink". Wah...cac't help it man...so funny! Then he tried to play a snatch thief (for dunno wad reason) and tried means and ways to "snatch" my bottles frm mi, and immediately turned and run in a way a robber runs...he's crazy!

Damn long day today...but no, not exhausted yet...cos it was actually quite fun. Ok..but that is after sch. For all my classes today, I had to endure their noises and really gotten a headache frm it. Firstly, my veri first period with my darling class 2N1. I sashayed into class in my bright red dress, went straight to the teachers table and sit down. They tell mi never study for test, den I gave dem a cold look...say," den postponed to Monday lor." Cos apparently they pissed mi off on Wed, by making so much noise I can't teach at all so I told dem they so smart they study themselves den those that fail the test will be splitted to another class. So I coldly took out a stack of worksheets to mark. Guess the class can sense that I'm realli pissed la...den Edwin was the first one, walked up to mi and say "teacher why never teach?" I gave him a sian look..."u all so smart liao still need mi to teach meh?" Then he said he got listen but I said he oso got tok rite? Den he got nothing to say. Juz loitered arnd mi. Then Daniel next...came up to mi and tell mi, "teacher y u liddat one, I got study u postpone the test, I never study u dun wan to postpone." I juz gave him a "too bad" smile. Then when Alex came to irritate mi, Daniel asked him to stop it lor..haha. Frm the start till the end my face was kept at the same cold look. Then my dear Edwin for dunno wad reason, was observing mi for veri long, den suddenly walked up to mi, and say "Ms Fong u veri cute leh..." Then I cant stand it anymore, I smiled and gave him the "HUH!?!" look. Then he happy again...gave mi the cute look. Sigh...I juz love Edwin man. Then my James came back sch tosay after suspension. Behaved quite well in class la... AND THEN, the principal came in frm the back door, even I din see him lor! He came in n pulled out all my darlings! James, Daniel, Edwin, Jonathon...aaargh. Then worse still, he asked mi if I'm relieving the class or having a lesson here. I took a deep breathe and told him cos they have test on Mon so I'm giving dem time to study. It's lyk...I was juz happily sitting there marking papers lor...he must've considered sacking mi! Anw after the lesson when I went back to the staffroom, I forgot I left all the F&N bottles in the class (for the maths & sci week), so went back to take. Saw Jonathon going back to class...so asked him to help mi take dem out, "shun bian" asked him wad happened to dem. Apparently cos the principal caught Daniel when he's sitting on the table, in the end he's made to run 60 rounds round the sch and 2 rounds outside sch. My jaws dropped on the spot man. And my dear Jonathon, cos of his injured foot, he's made to take out his shirt and sit in the middle of the parade square. I nearly fainted...James and Edwin nothing, juz sit outside the office for a few periods...
Den for 1N1...as usual, that bunch of gers juz won't let mi off. They keep bugging mi for my number den I said I'll give dem during remedial if they behave demselves den they made mi sign a "contract" lor! To make sure I honour my word. Crazy kids...Anw today is the veri first time I raised my voice at my students, and realli scolded dem lor. They were making so much noise I took the discipline book (hard cover) and slammed it hard on the table. Wad impact man...suddenly silence. So I took the chance to scold dem la...without my mic sumore. It's juz a spur of the moment where I juz let loose and shouted at them lyk nobody's business liddat. Damn shiok man...but it din last long la...give dem 10 mins and they're back to their old self. Sigh..
Anw during remedial was realli chaotic...the main reason was cos of my dear Daniel and Sam (frm 2N3) who decided to sit into my remedial class. My sec 1s were so annoyed wif dem lor! I tried to shoo dem away Daniel was lyk "We "gen ding ni" le"...I totally can't do anything to dem, cos apparently I told dem abt the badminton in the afternoon with teachers den they waiting for 3.30 lor...anw after teaching dem I asked my gers if they ate already anot...dey say haven so I went to eat with dem at canteen...treated dem to drinks... felt lyk a mother bringing kids out liddat...then in the canteen, they were bugging mi abt juz everything, I pri sch frm EM1 or 2, secondary Express or Special. Asked mi tell dem ghost stories, asked mi lame jokes...juz everything. Actually I dun mind dem liddat one...juz that they lyk to tok all at the same time! So it's 7 high-pitched voices aimed at u at the same time...no wonder until now I have this throbbing feeling in my ear...
Then started playing badminton...when I partnered Minyu against William and Michael, my gers were sitting beside going "Ms Fong, Ms Fong Ms Fong..." AND DEN...when William score...they cheered for him. He||O!?! Can u be more focused on which side u supporting!?! Then later I gave up the court to Min and her darling sec 4s...den joined William and played winner-stay-loser-out on the 2nd court. Expected la...we were in there forever, cos no one could beat us...the invincible duo!! Stupid Edwin ouside the court keep making comments lyk "so action...", cos apparently when I play I have the badminton style of lifting my left hand for balance as well as aim la...so angry u noe!?! Then everytime I do a good shot Daniel will go..."lousy..." Ok lor, den when their turn to come in, they get beaten zero...rubbish one leh! But I noe deep down they tink otherwise one, cos at the end when I played singles against William, Daniel finally said to him..."finally meet ur match hor?" Haha...see my wide grin? =P Anw when the left I heard dem saying something lyk "surely one" and "so got 'mo qi'"...
The next thing i noe...on my way home, Melissa msged mi say "Ms Fong I ask u something u muz answer mi truthfully...u and Mr Goh stead issit?" I was lyk... (!?!) I replied her, "Stead ur head la...wad rubbish...who say one?" She told mi Edwin tell her one...den say it's true, I personally told him myself one..dun believe can check with mi... I even more question and exclaimation marks. Then I finally cleared the air with Melissa..den she asked mi if I still lyk "dat guy"...cos I got tell her before la...I told her say the feelings fading liao...maybe soon it'll be gone den I can look for better ones. Her next reply wad short and to the pt. "Consider Mr Goh la." *FaInTz* Anw one week gone...hehe...

Was feeling super lethargic today...maybe cos I was free for first 5 periods before recess! Imagine dat!!! I badly want to lie on the table and take a nap but my table is right beside the door!! So when my eyelids realli closing I'll take a tour around the staffroom lor...walk down see if there's anyone I can tok to...cos Minyu having alot of relief to do u see (who ask her time-table to be so shiok..haha)
Wad's worse is that we had teacher's contact time till 6.30pm today! Imagine...2.30.to 6.30 meeting!!! I was practically staring into space and daydreaming...same goes for Minyu...and we juz kept yawning. While Xinyi and Jeslyn were busy taking down notes...cos they're form teachers...haha! In short, it's a total waste of time...
Anw tmr playing badminton wif the teachers again...before that have remedial with my sec 1 gers...they're going to continue to bombard mi lyk how they did in class today. "Teacher u wad jc one?" "teacher u got bf?" "teacher next time when u leave muz cum back visit us leh!" "teacher when's ur bday?" "teacher where u stay?" I was practically trampled by dem today lor! They not even worried dat they can't understand diz topic!! All my classes ar...juz one way to describe dem...fun to be with, not nice to teach. It summarizes everything nicely...

Disasterous man...Today was totally horrible. Cos apparently Minyu took leave today, so I was left to entertain myself the whole day. The last straw came when I brought 2N1 to the IT Resource Room. Puke blood man...almost the whole class was rolling about on their chairs and making SO MUCH noise, I almost wanted to juz throw something on the floor...but can't find anything feasible around la. So I was so fed up, I off the com straightaway, told dem "u all so smart rite, no need to listen rite? Den I'll give u all a test on chapter 13 this fri. Those who pass can stay in my class, those who fail I split u all to another class." You should've seen their faces man...serve dem rite. Then din notice Daniel who quietly "rolled" to sit beside mi...he suddenly appeared beside and tell mi "teacher if wan to split class I wan to be in ur class." I look at him, and said, "u pass the test first lor." The whole problem with this class is, they all lyk mi as a teacher, cos I'm not fierce to dem, I like to joke wif dem, also, I am flexible enough to let dem "make fun" of mi...as in the case of Daniel today (i'll write abt it later), but somehow, they juz wun listen in class! See lor...see how they do. Hopefully only a few fail, cos I dunno where am I going to get another teacher to split class wif mi!! Haha...
Anw, abt my dear Daniel. Kena "bombed" by him early in the morning. Cos today the new teacher came to replace Michael la. Then when I walked down 2N1 to collect edusave forms frm dem in the morning, Daniel they all were telling mi "teacher u see behind, u happy he replacing Mr Michael rite?" Den I was quite blur so I juz turned and see wad they tokking abt la. Then I turned back gave dem a "bo liao" look...den Daniel laugh at mi say Ms Fong 'kua ta por (look at guys)'. I was lyk ... So Jonathon was sitting nearest to mi, so I wanted to smack his head, but tink he's so used to teachers doing dat he swiftly siam away lor! This class ar...I realli got nothing to say man.. haha. Sometimes I realli wish I can juz go into class and tok nonsense wif dem and not teach lor...cos they're so fun-loving, so playful but funny. Juz dat well..I have to cover syllabus...wad to do... *sigh*

I'm getting a realli bad headache now..2N1 nearly sucked up all my blood today. No joke. They made mi so angry today I had to call in their form teacher lor! Then I juz happily stand there and watch them get shouted by their form teacher! Haha...I'm not being evil lor...they started it. Anw got double period wif dem tmr...realli wonder how the hell I can continue wif lessons. Hopefully they'll not behave lyk how they did today..or else this time I'm seriously walking out of the classroom, no matter how sum of those monkeys try to stop mi! HaR~!
Anw tink I better book the IT resource room for the sec 2s tmr...It's meaningless to bring in a laptop when it can't be showed to the whole class lor...dunno which idiot went to pull out the whole plug..in the end the com cant link to the projector. Shit...my headache's acting up again...OUCH...

A new term, a new start...a new me! Ok...exaggerating. I'm still the same old mi, as lazy as ever, trying my best to drag the time for lessons. Hey I'm getting realli good at it..cos why? I had single period wif all 4 classes today and u noe wad? I din teach a single thing on schwork! I spent more than half the period collecting holiday hw, (which left mi puking blood). Then left sum time did target setting wif dem...hey I'm darn good at wasting time man. Too bad la, cos I'm suffering frm Monday Blues and I seriously need time to get over it! Was so stressed today I nearly banged my head against the wall..( can verify it with my collegue Irene), with so many tests papers to set, lessons to prepare and monkeys who juz refuse to cooperate! Then I msged Andrew to settle the dinner thing...in the ended up complaining to him abt my work and I seriously told him dat it's worse than NS lor! No joke! Juz ask the other relief teachers in the same sch as mi! I bet no other relief teacher is given half as much work as those in this sch! Shit...headache coming back again. Plus I had tuition at 7 juz now...wad the hell am I doing lor...dunno earning so much for wad...I need leisure time!!!
Hopefully tmr will be better...I need to get back into the working mood...

Sigh...not in a lovey mood anymore...NO MORE. Anw something happened on Fri which totally pissed mi off. I was on IRC in #northvista, when suddenly two gers juz happily bad-mouth mi on main. Happily u noe!?! They were lyk "Got teacher in this channel leh..." Den another went "that newcomer Ms Fong la!" Another went "So!? SO BIG ar...I SO scared.." and stuff. HE||O!?! I din even offend them in any way lor! Then I happened to be talking to Michael and Minyu (both relief teachers) on MSN. Then both came into IRC to see wad's gg on la. Den Michael was so funny...he actually private msged one of the gers and started scolding her lor, without exposing his identity of cos. He ended off with stg lyk "You better watch ur mouth"...*GOSH* Den apparently that ger realli dun dare to even tok on main la. But I'm worried they might tink I sent him one...den they'll find trouble with mi in sch, or even outside sch! Then Michael and Minyu both feels that most prob the gers wun dare to confront mi, unless they're not afraid of exposing their identities. Makes sense...Even better still, when I asked James who are they he say he can't say. WTH....i bet they're sec 2s lor. Then I thought abt it, so far the most probable "enemy" I mayhave made is that Shirley Goh frm 2N2. Tink abt it...with a nick lyk "pink milk" or "pink ger"...totally suits her bimbo image. Anw I shall not act as childish as them...I can't help it that they can't stand my face lor...
Anw the class outing yesterday was rather fun...cos the guys were juz going on and on abt the interesting things that happened in camp. And the gers juz sat there and laughed all the way. One thing that I was quite irritated abt was when Jerry asked mi wad am I working as now. Then cos yesterday I happened to wear this white V neck sleeveless top that revealed A LITTLE more skin at the shoulder areas la, so when I asked him what do I look lyk I'm working as. Guess wad he said? He said "Tiger Beer ger?" If not because he's sitting quite far frm mi, I swear I'll realli smack him on the head! Idiot lor! Then when I told dem wad I'm working as they're lyk rather shocked la...hEY! Veri surprising meh!?! Oh yar...before I forgot...I got quite a bad shock yesterday when the guys turned up in a group together...they look IDENTICAL. Imagine, all have that botak look, round head, black-rimmed specs. *shudders* Ok, but after a while got used to it liao la...but it's realli quite funny when you walked down the whole of Orchard Road on saturday nite and seeing the whole stretch full of similar looking guys. HAHA! Ok...cek ak. Andrew was realli funny la...telling us his army stories topped with funny imitations of this "gay" bunkmate and stuff...I tink he'll make a natural clown. =) Anw Tze Wei was juz busy attacking his food...guess cos they're not fed veri well in camp. Thank goodness gers dun have to do NS! Richmond was listening to all their stories, ghosts, punishments, pranks etc...he haven't booked in yet. So I was asking him if he's looking forward to it he actually said yes! Haha...
Took cab with Dee at abt 11.45...that's when Jo and Cryst came frm work...too bad la..who asked dem to let off so late. So maybe can organize another one soon and I'll make sure they're not sceduled for work den! Sianz....tmr start school again!! And I'm totally NOT ready for it! Slacking the whole week of holiday... I've not prepared my lessons yet!! I need a miracle man....

He booked frm 1-3pm la...but I den dun wan to give him so much face so planned to go over at 2. Den Min was still trying to finish setting the last few questions when I was lyk "hurrying" her. Hey ger if u reading this so sorrie leh...din mean to give u so much pressure...cos James was giving mi pressure! Haha...Not my fault!
Anw after that went shopping with Min...and it totally made up for everything! At first was lyk walking arnd aimlessly...den stepped into this clothes shop. Tink maybe it was cos of the salegirl too...so friendly, cheery and helpful. So we tried on dresses after dresses and finally we each bought one! And not cheap lor...$59.90 k!?! But dunno why leh...I can't feel the pinch...tink cos was too into the mood already...and anyway...we deserve it k!?! TOTALLY! After the first purchase, the two of us became so high we almost wanted to buy everything! ok...exaggerating...But anw after that we went Dano to shop and bought quite a few pieces frm there...they're having a realli CRAZY sale....!!

Chatting with Minyu on MSN now...she just told mi a few bad news. Firstly, some 2N3 pple took her fone today and found my no...so she warned mi beforehand so I'll noe if they try to play a prank on me. Then she also asked mi to read her blog.. apparently sum idiot left a msg on ur tagboard saying something like "u are the worst teacher I ever had". Apparently the student (she suspect is student la) found her blog address lor. Then I was telling her it's not impossible cos her name is rather unique. I mean, u go type "xuanwan blog" into yahoo search now...confirm can lead to my webpage one. It's SO dangerous! Imagine ur student reading ur blog everyday!? *SHUDDERS*. Wad to do...juz pray realli hard those monkeys will not tink that I mite have a blog.
Anw got tricked into going James's house today...he told me they playing table tennis till 3...so I took my time to get ready la. Den at 1.30 he told mi they have the table only till 2! So since I changed liao I say ok I just go down. Then what happened? He told me my cute Edwin will be down there...but in the end onli got he and 2 other guys, not my class one. SIAN. Then I juz stared into space while they were playing billiard. So I decided to call my sec 1 ger Liting to go Compass wif me since I haven ate yet. Anw it's cos she keep bugging me, so I agree lor. Was quite in a bad mood, so when met her the first thing I said to her was "u wan to eat ice-cream? I treat." So I did la...treated her to Orange Julius ice-cream. Anyway she's quite a good company...better than James definitely. In fact, I felt like I was bringing a younger sister out liddat lor...cute.
Anw I wan to warn all out there. Keep all your shoes IN the house...VERI IMPORTANT. My newly bought Charles & Keith heels..stolen. Then 2 other pairs of heels even better still. The culprit happily stole one of each side. Dun u tink he/she is a pervert!?! Now I 3 pairs of heels gone in one go...luckily got one pair left, still can survive. Now I have no choice but to go buy new shoes again...heartache man. My mum wanted to sponsor me...but sigh...I told her nvm I pay myself..no reason to make her pay. So all those reading...pls remember to keep ur shoes....
Anw tomorrow playing badminton in sch with the teachers...so excited! But well...I like dunno how long never touched the racket already...sigh...

I was SO tired when I reached home yesterday I juz slept through all the way till 10 this morning. Imagine having sports day in the morning den going town in the afternoon till 9? So couldn't blog yesterday.
Ok, sports days yesterday was ok, except for the part where I had to stand at the 100m line to make sure they pass the baton within the given range for the last runner. Happened that the sun was on my left side, & cos I can't possibly change position since I had to fix my eyes at that position, my whole left arm is RED, and my left side of the face is RED. The right side's perfectly sheltered, so I look lyk a half-red monster yesterday when I went town and Angie was lyk happily laughing at me. Anw Daniel & Kim Wee were caught while trying to sneak out of the stadium after attendence was taken, den came to ask mi help them sneak out. He||O!?! I'm a teacher leh! Anw too bad for dem la, their other frenz sneaked out successfully but they have to guai guai stay put in the stadium. It juz reminded mi of the times I "ponned" sports day during JC..so I can kinda emphatize with them. Then while I was doing my duty, Daniel ran to hide behind me, say the gers wan to pour water on him. I turned behind and saw 5-6 angry gers with wet t-shirts holding cups of water waiting to aim at him. I looked at him and said," You sure they wan to bully u? more lyk u bullying dem rite?" He said "NO! they so many against mi." Den gave mi a veri victimize look. He's so comical lor...can't stand it. Anw apparently he stuck onto mi la, so the gers can't aim at him, cos they'll actually get mi la! They're quite funny la seriously..haha...
Then after sports day, apparently all the relief teachers are going back to sch to settle sum things, mark books and whatsoever. I'm lyk the onli one preparing to go home, bathe den go town lor. Then I tried hard to rack my brains if I'd left out anything not done in sch but still can't tink of any. Die la...am I doing to little or are they doing too much? Hmm...Then on my way to the MRT station, I was ZhenHao and his frenz at the interchange. I looked shocked upon seeing mi, den was giggling wif his frenz. Ok good lor, never see teacher in outside clothes before...anw I waved to him la. Then on the train, I din noticed there were a group of 2E1 students, they were gossiping abt teachers la...(heard sum "Selena Chan" or stg..) Den one of them saw mi & hurry signalled the rest that's there's a teacher in the train, den they started talking in low voices. So DuH~! On my way back at arnd 8 plus, I walked past 2 gers sitting on the bench in the interchange. When I walked past, I heard,"Hello, North Vista teacher." I stopped, looked at dem and say," U frm north vista ar?" Then they said yar, so I juz waved to dem lor...altho never see them before. Sigh, not I noe wad it means when pple say once u become a teacher u'll lose ur privacy. I mean, in future I can't even wear lyk example tube top outside without fear of being seen by my students! Oh DeAr~!
Anw below's the website of a photo taken at the stadium with Minyu & Xinyi...we're all frm the blue house...in the end the foto turned out...SO BLUE.....

Kind of bothered by the Uni application thing. just finished talking on the phone with Meiting..she also as bogged down by it as I. Everything is so complicated, should everything be in one single form, or seperate form? Mode of payment? Scholarships & bonds? Heck la...go sch tmr then slowly check it out on internet...anyway I before recess no lessons at all.
Today's quite a boring day seriously. My hard work...the time I spent on the "Ecology" powerpoint, gone down the drain. Stupid 2N1, projector spoilt, can't use. So poor mi have to "manual" teach, which becomes so stale and boring. It's no wonder many juz let their minds wander off...sigh. Then my darling Edwin came out with his textbook, took a marker from me and started teaching on the board! He wrote down how the different methods (eg. water, light, air..) affects the way of life of the different populations in a habitat. He even added his own deifinitions of a few words like "respiration" & "acidity"! He's juz SO adorable it's quite amazing how I could refrain myself from pinching his cheeks. SO CUTE!! Ok, I better get back to my "sensible teacher" status. =P Anw tomorrow won't have lessons with my sec 2s...get hounded by the little monsters instead.
Anw, ever heard of student having a crush on teachers? MinYu...be careful wo~~..I'll help u keep a lookout for any obvious signs in Vincent...hahaha....

Today's pretty fine, in fact, I realli wonder how did I managed to survivie today in one piece. Ok, firstly, double period with 2N3. Both me and Minyu decided to give them a revision in the form of a quiz. I dunno if u can actually call it a successful attempt, cos whoever that is called out, before he/she writes anything on the board, the answer can be heard, loud and clear, from our dear Zhenhao. Despite telling him SO many times we'll minus marks if they shout out the answer. Whatever it is, we managed to survive the double period...
Then double period with 1N1. Ok, I feel lyk I'm in the midst of sum live drama serial today. Firstly, when I went into class, 5 gers were missing. Then I found out they were called in by the DM, for extortion case. (!?!) Next, when I was teaching halfway, one boy and ger started fighting! The boy was bledding at the corner of his eye. Apparently the ger used the ruler to hit him or something. He was SO angry, all ready to charge at her. I made the other boys grab hold of him while I get the DM to come up. Then the both of them were 'hailed' away by the DM. Ok, I thought finally peace. Then the class chairman started crying. (!?!) I asked her wad happened, the rest told mi the boys bully her. Then...another ger started crying! The reason? Cos she see the chairman cry she oso cry. I'm there to teach, but they never tell mi i'm supposed to go through such "exciting" cases lor!~
Lastly, double period with 2N1. I went in, they happily playing and making alot of noise. I realli cant tink of anything for them to do, so I went back to the staffroom to get my workbook to go thro answer wif dem. Happened that Minyu was free at that time so she said she dun mind coming in with mi la. Hehe...den she help mi control the class la, at least it was much better than before. Then ok la, Edwin came up with a whole load of excuses on why he dun have his workbook, which made mi end up in laughter (as usual), cos he's juz so cute! Then Daniel was asking Minyu irrelavent questions lyk why u no need to teach, why u dun have things to mark, why u never go out wif bf or stg liddat i can't rem. I was so shocked when Minyu retorted back at him saying,"why, u wan to be my bf issit?" I nearly fainted. This method is useful for maybe express kids where they'll be veri embarrased la. For those NA kids, wah...a wonderful chance to make YOU embarrased. So Daniel said Edwin wan and stuff. Then I was so tickled I laughed and laughed & ended up coughing lyk mad cos I'm still quite sick la. The gers say, "Eh stop it la, Miss Fong jealous already." Then the naughty boys were saying,"Never mind, can handle two." I seriously dunno to laugh or cry ar... Anw nearing the end of the lesson I was asking Daniel sum "qian bian wen da ti", learnt frm JingMian one... Then when I told him the answer he realli felt lyk "bian-ing" mi...haha.
The day is FINALLY over...PhEw....~~!

How cum I have this feeling I'm becoming a "black-white-two-sides" teacher? Ok, I admit I talk to James like I'm talking to a fren liddat la..so sometimes it's inevital that I'll blurt out stuff lyk this student pisses mi off, this class gives mi alot of stress etc. Ok, apparently after hearing those stuff, he'll help he "settle" it. Like I told him before this ger in my sec 1 class giving mi alot of homework problems ( she is his so-called 'mei' ). I seriously dunno wad he did, today Jennifer never giggle and laugh in a shrilly manner in my class anymore, which she usually does. She juz stays at her seat, dun even dare to move out of place. Then after sch when I meet James to give him lessons ( cos he's suspended frm sch ), he asked mi how's that ger in class. I asked him wad did he do to her, he said,"I have my way." ( !?! ) Then remember last time when I told him this specific boy in his class gives mi a veri perverted look which sends shivers down my spine. Ok, today when I went into class he dun dare to look at mi for the whole lesson. Ok la, I've to agree that it makes my job much easier, but...it's so...underhand! Tink better stop complaining to James abt such stuff. Anw was realli bored so went to do a quiz on what's my element, juz for the fun of it...
You're Elemant is Wind. You're light-hearted,
care-free, kind, sensative, and mysterious. You
have friends and most absolutely love you. You
can be calm and soothing one minute and ragging
in anger the next so no one wants to get on
your bad side. You're beauty is inspiring and
magical.
What's Your Element(girls)? (PICTURES) brought to you by Quizilla
It's surprisingly quite accurate..esp the "no one wants to get on ur bad side" part...haha...

I'm feeling SO deprived now...My parents bought this veri nice durian cake from 727 Durian Cake Shop at Upper Serangoon area. Tell u ar, anyone that ate the durian cake there before will NOT want to eat any other durian cakes from anywhere else. Ok, that's how nice is the durian cake there. AND THEN, I'm forbidden to eat it! My dad say if I eat juz a little bit my throat will take longer to recover. Ok, MY cake for my A level results, and I can't eat it. Worse, my dad say it's only right that I personally serve everyone of my relatives cos all of them played a part, whether big or small, for my results today. Great, I can onli see and not touch the cake...SO DEPRIVED! Then my dad say wait till I'd recovered den buy again lor...aaargh.

Ok...finally it's over. Got back the A level results. Ok, apparently this yr AJ did lyk super well..the whole sch was cheering while I was there trembling in the suspense, while the principal announced the results. Ok, den when i finally got back that slip of paper, I juz cried lyk hell outside the hall...cried and cried and cried. Cos it juz din look nice, lower than wad I expected. Den Yiru came and see my results, the first thing she said to mi was, "you cry wad shit?" I told her, "this type of results dun cry den wad?" She say I siao. Den Mr Koh came and Yiru told him I cry cos I got wad I got. He look at mi den shook my hand to congratulate mi...it's so...weird lor, my results v good meh? Den I realised I shouldn't complain anymore la...can go Uni liao I complain wad? Maybe I expected myself to do better lor. But one thing I veri glad abt is that I actually passed my GP! WoW!~
Den today I took leave frm school mah, condition of my sore throat is so bad till I simply can't bring myself to go to sch.

Den juz by coughing a few times can cause my eyes to become watery... Tink I'll most prob call up the sch to report sick tmr. How to teach like that!?!
Anw James kena suspended today...for 2 weeks, including March holidays, 3 weeks. I really dunno wad to say abt him...forever one lor, told him to behave himself already and see!?! Can't he juz listen for once!?! Then apparently his mother tell him if he fail any more of his tests he is not allowed to call her "mum" lor...den pleaded with mi to give him lessons on science. Ok lor...see he so poor thing, I oso wun wan my student to keep failing. Then another teacher who teaches him maths also doing the same thing.

I can't believe diz...I juz finished talking on the phone with my student...let's see, for an hr 48 mins. Am I crazy or wad? Den happened dat he's actually quite a matured kid, not lyk how he behaves in school. So apparently I told him alot of stuff, like I'm realli stressed teaching dem, the workload they pile on mi and stuff. I find it so weird how I can actually tell him such stuff... den he confides in mi on his relationship problems den I kind of tell him a bit of mine too. Seriously I was really touched when he told mi not to quit cos he will quite miss mi, cos he had alot of fun with the times spent with mi. He was actually matured enough to tell mi, when I was telling him I veri stressed by dem not listening and all failing, that there are 2 types of teachers, the first type is the one who realli cares for the students and the second type juz heck care and get the pay as per normal. He can tell mi dat if I choose to be the first type, I will be veri stressed, but if I choose the second type, I'll seem to be very cold-hearted. Seriously...this totally doesn't sound lyk the James I have in class. He sound lyk a few yrs older than his age lor. Kind of comforted la seriously...
Anw it's confirmed that A level results coming out this Friday...tink I can juz die lor...Worse still, I still have to see the monkeys in the morning before I go get results lor. Sux....

No one can actually understand the difficulties of teaching until they actually take it up personally. Today after a lesson with the (damn) 2N3, XinYi came into the staffroom teary. Why? Those idiots actually said hurting stuff about her in her lesson. I can totally understand how she feels cos I wasn't spared from those comments either, but maybe cos I'd kinda given up on that class, I juz take it that I din hear anything lor! The one I remember veri clearly is during one of the first few lessons I had with 2N3, when the fat boy ZhenHao actually said right into my face, "teacher, I give you a grade F." I look at him and said, "You're no better, a grade F student." He actually told mi, "a grade F teacher produces a grade F student." Ok lor, suit himself, I pretend I never hear anything...not worth getting upset over such insensitive monkeys.
Anyway they had their science common test today, then when I collected the papers, the first paper I turned to was James's. I was SO disappointed with him, he din even lyk attempt at try the questions lor...handed up a half blank paper...at first I thought I was angry with him, den I realised it's more of disappointment. Den today Daniel was happily eating spaghetti in my lesson after Home Econs lesson...I was lyk,"Daniel can you pls stop eating", den he gave mi the crappiest excuses lyk he have to try their cooking, cos he frm D & T den the spaghetti he eating is his fren's. After eating lyk half the serving, den he pleaded with mi not to write his name in the discipline book (cos I finally used it to threaten him). Sometimes I realli dunno to laugh or cry dealing with these monkeys...
