I went home veri late yesterday so din manage to blog. I mean, wad's new? That's the life of a teacher. Anw yesterday after sch was quite bad in the sense that my darlings (Edwin, James etc) were brought to the DM for bullying Darren. Apparently during Art lesson they used paint to paint the back of his uniform..happily man. Then of cos their form teacher Ms Low had to report it la. So I see my "small piece of charcoal" sitting outside the DM's office, looking so forlorn and face even blacker than he already is. (anw, i'm referring to edwin) Then I made James cum back to face the music cos apparently he went off. Klinnsman oso one of those in trouble. Then those more cowardly ones lyk Jonathan got off. I was lyk so upset wif dem...Ms Fong leaving soon and they can't even let me leave in peace. So after I talked to dem, I juz went up to my office and refused to go down anymore...it's juz so upsetting seeing them in this state.
Then I juz had first period lesson wif 2N1..Edwin came and tell mi he may kena caning. I was lyk, "..." So upsetting! Anw I gave them lollipops la, the gummy type, then all of them were happily munching on it during lesson. Little kids... Anw I have 1N2 lesson after this and diz is lyk the veri first time I actually look forward to going in to their class! Hopefully this will be a good last day for mi...they better dun make mi angry again.... continue later...

2 more days...and I'll be detached frm school, frm work, frm my darlings. How am I feeling rite now...I seriously dunno. Today 2N1 nearly turned the classroom upside down and I was juz looking and feeling so super helpless. If it's not cos I'm leaving soon, I'll definitely get the DM up one...it's horrible! Students were running abt the place, they pour water over darren's table...then 2 gers start arguing for wadever reason. Goodness mi...then Lewin was next door...aft lesson I saw him in staffroom den asked him was my class veri noisy...he lyk dun dare to say, veri paiseh, den say "ya". Then almost at the end of lesson William walked past, cos his lesson next mah. Wah...he looked in, and gave mi the look lyk wan to laugh but cannot laugh liddat. Best...I gave him a damn helpless look, the helpless plea in my eyes....then bell ring liao. Wah kaoz...how nice the bell sounded man!
Anw, went to Compass wif Jeslyn aft dat to get chocolates and stuff for my students...as well as pple who'd helped in during my work term. Sigh...feeling sad again. The staff in that sch are realli nice lor...Ok, maybe the younger ones la, cos I mix more wif dem. Realli cant bear to leave dem...altho William say I can cum back every Fri to play badminton wif dem la. Sigh, I'll miss "suan-ing" William, I'll miss laughing wif Michael, I'll miss complaining to Lewin abt 2N1, I'll miss the 3 veri lovely ladies Minyu, Jeslyn and Xinyi whom went thro all the joys and anger of teaching wif mi. I'll miss Irene and MuiEng, especially Irene. Lastly, I'll miss all my darlings....

I've been tinking whether I still wan to be a teacher...my lifelong ambition. I was talking to Minyu abt it today. I used to be so adamant abt going back to teach in Cedar. After this teaching experience in North Vista, I decided, that I'm going to teach in a neighbourhood school...and nothing can make mi change my mind about it. It's lyk...the students, although naughty...they're also veri lovable at times. You can never understand the feeling of having naughty students who supposedly heck care abt studies, actually studying for ur sake and passing the paper. I could see the effort put in by my naughty kids, I can see how Edwin and Daniel realli tried to listen in class and study for my test. I was SO happy when Edwin passed, but nobody can understand how sad I was when Daniel failed...cos I knew he realli did study. Then I was also super happy when James passed (FINALLY). Then there's oso Liting frm 1N1, who "loves" mi so much, she realli studied for the test and got full marks for her maths! And she told mi last time she used to hate Maths, until I teach her den she start to love it. I mean, whose heart won't melt when u get these kids?
Last week I though I'd cried finish already and gotten over being sad. Then Edwin had to send mi an e-mail which I juz checked. He actually told mi I'm the best teacher he ever had and stuff...OK...I dun care, I shall cut n paste wad he wrote...then anybody who reads it will understand why I'm so adamane abt teaching in neightbourhood liao.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Miss Fong......i wan to tell u sumting! u are the best female teacher i eva had man! even though the class was veri noisy n u cannot teach...but i still got listen to wat u are teaching sumtimes......sry for me being so playful....nv see...my science improve so much...22/30...hapi anot? hahahhahaha haix~! u leavin soon liaoz....but i we will still contact u la....then go out after mid year exam....steadi mahx?.....u realli taught me alot....

muz go!!!!!!!.....n I WILL REMEMBER U AS MY TEACHER MY FREN!!!!!!!!!!! BUAI BUAI ~~!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After I read finish the whole thing, plus the website he gave mi, I juz uncontrollably cried, rite in front of my com, with my sister beside. I couldn't care anymore...I noe give them a period of time and they'll soon forget who is Ms Fong...but at least I noe for mi, I'll never ever forget them. They're the first bunch of students I'd taught, how can I even forget them? I juz hope few years down the road, when they see mi outside, they can still acknowledge and talk lyk old frenz. Today Liling frm 1N2 gave mi a gift, which I initially keep declining, but finally accepted under pressure frm them. It was realli sweet of her. Then after sch, a teacher actually passed mi this gigantic teddy bear, supposedly frm students. It was SCARY man...ask Minyu abt it. Then we decided it's not veri nice to accept such a big gift frm students. I decided to go find out who's it dat gave it to mi. If it's frm one student, I'll definitely return it...but if it's frm alot of students, I guess it should be ok... (?) Anw...my students are all so sweet...how can I bear to leave dem!?! *SOB*

Had a long day yesterday... Brought my 2Ns out for excursion. It was supposed to be quite a fun event la...but I tink the organizing part is realli bad...that person in charge was so disorganized the whole event was juz so messy. Then early in the morning, Mr Lee (the sci HOD) was having such a BLACK face while waiting for them to get ready because there were a few idiots who came late! Luckily none of my darlings are involved in the latecoming theing otherewise I'll realli skin them alive. Lewin la...his 2N2 got 2 students happily strolling in way past 8pm, when we're supposed to meet. I told him to dun wait anymore and go he still wan to wait. Then even before the trip start all the teachers black face liao. He's too nice to the students la...if it's mi, lyk wad I told my students on Fri, u come late, bus come already...TOO BAD. I wrote that on the board lor...then in the end realli all turn up on time. Haha. Anw took alot of fotos wif my darlings...but now the stupid website under maintainance cannot upload. Idiot...
Then in the evening I met up wif Jo, Cryst, Mel and Dee. Had a realli great time...but was realli tired aft dat la...such a long day. Also too fotos..but cant upload rite now. SIANZ....they're all taken veri well...I later going to buy stuff for my students...haven decided wad to get yet...hmm...

Was unable to blog yesterday cos was in a super unstable mood. I was told yesterday by the VP dat the teacher I'm relieving is coming back soon and that I'll onli have one week left. I was so shocked lor...cos she's supposed to take one yr leave. I held back my emotions and said ok. Then on my way to meet Dulcia, I was tinking abt it on the train, then eyes watery...but controlled. Then finally when I met Dulcia, it juz poured out lor, everything. I was creating a waterfall in the middle of Orchard Mrt station. Best. I'll really miss them lyk hell lor. Then my dad was saying wad's the pt, did I miss my fav sec school teachers lor.. which totally makes sense. Seriously wad's the point rite...
Anw today went out wif Minyu and Jeslyn. Went shopping and everything...my legs damn super tired man. But we had a great time! We spent a lot of money nonetheless la. We went for a haircut, had a tai-tai day man. Then after that we went to trim our eyebrows...den after that went for coffee at coffee bean. Wah...spent a lot of money man. We're totally mad. But we're happy! But the big problem is, my new hairstyle ar...shape gone. I trying to comb it back lor...but difficult...then I spent $38 for nothing!
Then tmr I'll be going excursion wif my sec 2s...last time to have fun wif dem. Oh no...I'm going to start again...

I cant believe diz...logging on earlier lyk 9 plus juz for my students. They complaining dat I everytime so late cum online cant chat wif mi...sigh. I even helped Jonathon solve maths qn on msn juz now..amazing. They have maths test tmr lor..hope all my darlings can pass...haha. Anw today was lyk the onli lesson I had wif 2N1 where I could teach non-stop for 2 periods without being at loss wif wad to teach! The ultimate trick? Juz keep repeating!! I repeated the carbon and nitrogen cycle for 2 whole times! The WHOLE cycle! Amazing rite? Then I realise the more I teach the more agitated I become den I become so animated and hyper I juz wanted to continue after the 2 periods! Then at the end of the lesson Edwin hand itchy wan to fight wif Darren...so they went to the back of the class. Then I was in quite a hyper mood, so instead of stopping dem, I used my mum's method, ask the whole class to turn behind and watch the live action. They were so amused by mi man...James was so surprised he was lyk,"wah Ms Fong u're the best teacher man..." Haha...I mean of cos la, which other teacher approve their fighting? Haha. Anw I thought it was ok cos Edwin juz action action wif his WWF stunts, but after a while it got quite rowdy. Guess wad I did? I walked towards them and said," Ding ding! Game Over...break it up!" Making the bell sound. Haha...the class was seriously so amused by mi man..I oso dunno wad came over mi today...I muz be mad!
Tmr's Earth Day....shall wear GREEN. Haha....madness.

Haha....so funny. Those sec 1 kids are so easily fooled, not that I purposely wan to fool them la. Cos today when I went into both my 1N1 and 1N2 classes, they totally pissed mi off man. So I off the visualiser and everything, leaned on the table and start fuming. Then I juz conveniently blurt out,"I'm not going to teach you all anymore." Then in 1N2, they interpret it as I'm going to quit already. Then Wai Kiat suddenly got veri affected...His eyes suddenly veri red lor...I kena shocked. Then later I heard sum commotion behind the class but I din bother to check it out. Aft that Leonard came to ask mi,"teacher, u got hear before students getting into fights over teacher anot?" I was lyk,"huh..." He told mi juz now Wai Kiat and Chuan Wei were arguing behind, apparently Wai Kiat say wan to listen to mi Chuan Wei say dun wan. Kids!?! Then the same thing happened in 1N1..damn infuriating. Then after sch Iris saw mi and was bugging mi all the way to outside sch...to ask mi dun quit. stay and teach dem. I had to control my laughter lor. Apparently 1N2 realli tot I was quitting and even told Helen (their PE teacher) abt it...in which she asked mi abt it in the staffroom in a veri serious tone if I'm realli quitting. I tink ar...next time I better dun anyhow blurt out comments...=X
Anw getting realli quite sian of sch...seriously sian....

No time to blog yesterday... Dunno how cum, was in quite a nasty mood yesterday in sch. Then was raising my voice and scolding students in every class I went into. Every single class leh... this morning when I woke up there was this pain in my throat...sore throat. Then had to drag myself to tuition sumore...aaargh! Anyway I have to tell the whole world how I, a big ger, got conned by 2 fellow relief teachers into going town. After badminton session in sch..I went off first cos Minyu and Xinyi are going for a concert in the evening. I went home, bathed, and was ready to eat my cheesecake, when the phone rang. Those two women (uh-hum) remembered the concert day wrongly, so are both stuck at Hougang Mall. So they were asking mi to join them for dinner...which naturally, I declined. Cos firstly, I'm all comfortable after bathing, and secondly, I'm in specs! Those two women...were relentless in their "pursuit" and Xinyi even resorted to whining! Then finally, the ever so soft-hearted mi, gave in. So I went Hougang Mall to meet them in casual wear...and specs!!! Never mind, the best part haven't come yet. When I met up wif them finally, they said they're going town for dinner! I gave them the most unbelievable look and said," No Way! I'm NOT gg town dressed lyk this and in specs!" I mean, those two are ridiculous! Then after much persuation and even more whining frm Xinyi...I gave in (AGAIN!!!) I totally hate myself man...no willpower at all. It's no wonder I get bullied by students lyk free one liddat...So I was lyk walking town...in specs!!! Was damn lucky I din meet anyone I know there man...otherwise I dunno where to hide my face the next time. So Minyu and Xinyi, listen up...I shall not be fooled by you two ever again! So There!!!
Anw brought my students' science test papers to my aunt's house to mark today. Spent the WHOLE 4 hrs...juz to finish marking one class! Juz cos of the simple reason that tehy give u the most ridiculous answers! Not the type of comfirm wrong, but the type that has to be checked up...which is why I'd left quite a few blanks to ask Irene on Monday. Apparently she's also having alot of problems wif her papers. Imagine la, when I asked my two cousins whether this answer is acceptable, they juz laughed and said,"dunno". Both are medical students. I still have one more class to go...save me!!!

Din manage to blog last nite cos got bad headache den went to sleep early. In the end, the headache continued when I woke up! So irritating! Then I was in a super bad state when I reached sch la...trying veri hard to stop the pain by pressing on my right temple. Apparently still cant work. Damn...Then the stupid sch dun provide panadol sumore! Then was asking arnd frm the teachers for panadol then Lewin said he dun have panadol but he have dunno wad la...also for headache one. He say take half of it first cos the medicine veri strong, half an hr later if not well take the other half. In the end I finished the whole tablet liao the pain is still there! Then I msged James asked him help mi ask arnd for panadol...den he say dun have...sigh. So I realli cannot tahan anymore I went to the general office to take half-day leave. When I was preparing to go, James was outside the staffroom, beckoning me to cum out. Then he gave mi 2 panadols! So sweet rite? Dunno where he got that frm la...he told mi he had to search high n low for it, but Michael said he probably bought it frm the canteen...RITE...but still sweet nonetheless. Anw I went home to sleep la...but came back at 2 cos my sec 2s have science test...then aft dat I have NAPFA duty.
Then when I came back I was feeling much better liao la. Then gave them the test lor. It was still ok...but apparently Michael helped to invigilate 2N3...and Zhenhao pissed him off. haha. Then the NAPFA was totally terok... Tink cos the 2N classes quite close to mi la....then they were lyk taking so much time to jump lor..cos I'm in charge of standing broad jump. 2N1 still ok...2N3...aaargh, feel lyk killing Chin Wee. He acting lyk ger liddat...keep saying he shy, canot jump...totally feeling slapping him lor. But I was quite proud of Daniel. He veri scared of this station, cos it always make him lose his GOLD. He keep telling mi he need to get 206cm lor...Then I put the score board at the 206 mark and told him he have to jump over the board, he tried two times, nearly, but cant pass. Then he say let others go first he go last. Then all the time he was looking at the mat lyk sum enemy liddat. Finally his turn again...then he jumped 210cm!!! He was so happy he slapped my scoreboard and it nearly hit my face lor! I was lyk ... I held on to him and say "wad was that for? I'm not gg to record it down.." Then he was still smiling away, said sorry cos he was juz too happy. Then cos I also happy for him I let it go la...hehe.
Anw aft sch my fone got flooded by msges frm my sec 1s..asking mi why I nv go teach them today and wad not. Haha...supposed to feel touched la...but dunno why never leh. Maybe cos it's not lyk they're veri guai in my class or stg...if I realli went in my headache will aggrevate man. In fact..which of my classes is guai in my lesson!?! I am in such a pathetic state man....

They having remedial now...and after that they going James's house to play table-tennis and ask mi to join them. I seriously quite tired lor...but on account that the whole bunch of them were actually listening in class and doing now work today...how can I turn them down? Instead, it's realli the other group of guys...always fighting at the slightest opportunity..SIGH..that's all I can say. Then surprisingly, today I actually managed to keep them quiet for quite a period of time! Cos I was giving them quiz in the form of competition among the 4 rows...den they were actually sitting there quietly waiting for my question each time! Amazing! Then I'm quite happy that James attempted to answer a few questions too..and also that Edwin noe almost all the answers without checking the textbook! Too bad Daniel was sleeping...but aft that when he "woke up", I was scolding him for not joining in the quiz and he say but he also nv make noise. He say when he promise he'll be guai in my class he'll be guai...haha...=) Maybe blog later at nite...I still stoning down here...waiting for my bunch of darlings...*sigh*

Sigh....I finally blew my top at my darling class. So bloody hell fed up wif them. Even before I step into the class, they swarm to mi, asking to go toilet. Then I have to shoo one by one back into class. And then my darling Daniel have to cum and "play" wif mi...but it's not funny, it's more of irritating. Then I actually pulled him by the collar into class. Then inside, the class was lyk partying or stg...I super pissed liao...went to the table, banged by whole stack of papers and book onto the table. Then supposed to revise for the test wif them, but I was so angry, juz grabbed a few revision papers and literally threw it on the first table of each row, then went to the teacher's table and juz sat down and crossed my arms. Surprisingly, the class realli quiet and start doing the worksheet lor. Then Edwin, Daniel, James they all came up to mi and try to calm mi down. But I was lyk boiling inside I was ready to explode anytime...I can feel it...if I juz open my mouth and say sumthing, the tears will juz flow...I was THAT angry. Apparently they can see la...then James hurry grab tissue frm Chin Meng for mi...but I juz look away and waved my hand to say no need to him. Then the whole lesson was ok la...they realli did their work...every single one of the naughty boys! In fact, it's the other bunch of boys who wasn't as "affected" my mi...and started again once I sort of relaxed a bit after Edwin made mi smile. Then I was realli quite conforted when I went back to staffroom saw my fone James msged mi, ask mi if I ok anot, I look lyk I'm gg to kill sumone...den he even say if I need anyone to confide to...he's free 24 hr. So sweet rite? Sigh...if onli I juz teach this bunch of naughty boys...(note the irony in this sentence...).
Anw aft my NAPFA duty I went Compasspt wif Minyu and Xinyi for dinner...finally can have a proper meal..the food in sch sux. Then cant resist the temptation la...went shopping...hehehe. We went into Charles and Keith first...best...in total, the 3 of us actually tried on more than 10 pairs of white heels. So aft that they were lyk sprawled all over the floor...and none of us bought anything! So damn paiseh... Then we went Metro but din find any nicer heels. Then went on clothes hunting instead. Those two bought the exact same shirt frm U2, but diff colours la. Then we were the last customers in PepperPlus...tried on stuff lyk nobody's business liddat. Then I bought this realli nice yellow top...so nice! Great...so today all of us got sumthing. Went home at arnd 10...tmr shall see 3 pandas...haha...
Anw James ran away frm home AGAIN...fought wif parents apparently...now he's outside wif Michael...hope everything will be fine...hope...

Haiz....was dead tired today. Was supposed to go James's house to play table-tennis with the whole bunch. Daniel even threatened to fail his coming science test if I dun turn up (!?!). At 5, James called mi to tell mi those sec 3 and 4 ah-bengs frm the sch booked the billiard table (which is in the same room as the table tennis table) and are smoking and making alot of noise, and he asked mi if I still wan to go. So of cos I said I not gg liao lor...I mean, one thing I cant stand smoke, another thing, I'm a teacher, if I go there see the students smoke and dun do anything, wad will they tink of mi lor. Super sian....Then juz now at 7 when I'm sleeping Daniel msged mi say I nv go he wun study for his test liao. In my half-awake state, I replied him stg lyk eh dun liddat la...not my fault. Then I promised him the next time teachers play badminton I'll tell them to join us. Then he ok liao. These kids are so....well...cute. Hahaha! (Min will start getting goosebumps again..)

Today is such a fantastic day..not dat my students are super nice to mi or sumthing. But today is the day when I finally show dem my true colours...in dat Ms Fong is NOT sumone to be bullied or trifled wif. Had double periods wif both my sec 1 classes. Worse still today have visitors...frm MOE! But one lucky thing is that I used one period to give dem class test la. So apparently the class was so super quiet la (after my many threats and what not...) Then after collecting the papers, they start it again. I shouted at dem to all go back to their seats, then when any of them try to tok to mi, I said wif a damn straight face, "Shut Up, and I mean it." Then it worked quite well la...I gave dem TOTAL attitude today I tell u. Then for 1N2, the same thing happened, quiet during test, but chaos aft dat. Then apparently this naughty boy wad making alot of noise wif this metal rod (frm the cupboard behind..), so I made him hand it over. Surprisingly he did lor...usually I see his pattern sure wun hand over one. Then I was using that rod to tap on the table to those who are talking lor...then for sum realli talkative ones, I was hurling the rod around and scolding him...his eyes were on the rod and keep saying "ok ok ok....I keep quiet". Felt so good man! Imagine if it can be so effective using a heavy metal rod, how much better will it be if I were using a cane instead and can juz whack straight on the table or board! This is so fun! So I went back to the staffroom and told Minyu how I frm the "mild one" became the "tigress" today and I shall try to keep up wif being the latter! Apparently aft sch when my gers frm 1N1 saw mi, they were asking teacher y u today so bacd mood and fierce? I gave dem the heck care look...den told dem I will be so for every period now lor...haha. Tink they muz be tinking I'm suffering frm super severe PMS.
Then played badminton wif the teachers: Minyu, Michael and William. Actually today's session's realli boring la seriously. So lifeless, den stupid William disappeared to NAPFA and leaving the 3 of us there to play wif students. But after he came back den it's quite fun la...we played guys against gers. Was telling Minyu we muz beat them, but in the end lost la...tink cos Min was veri super distracted by her sec 4 darlings who din get to play at all when they came down bcoz of her...poor thing. Anw...when we were playing our guys vs gers match, at arnd 6 plus close to 7pm, Daniel, James, Edwin, Kim Wee etc came in to watch us play lor. Then cos the hall floor was rather slippery, so when I rushed to the net all the way frm the back to retrieve a backhand dropshot save, I had this veri weird pose, lyk arms outstretched and one leg stretched backwards...according to Daniel, I have a "chang e" (that woman in the chinese mythical story who became a fairy aft swallowing 2 magical pills?) pose. Then after dat he borrowed my racket and made that "chang e pose", following mi wherever I go. Den keep requesting for mi to do my "chang e pose" for him to see...I was lyk laughing all the way lor! Then even when we were walking out of the hall, he still followed mi and requesting mi to show him my "pose" again. I was lyk..."Daniel! Dat is not my pose!" Then in the end I told him next celebration or anything I shall recommend him to take part in the chinese dance performance. Hahaha! Den when mi and Minyu were walking out of sch, the whole bunch of dem were sitting at the main entrance staircase waiting for frenz i tink. Then I talked to dem for a while, then say I gg already. Then Daniel suddenly said, "before u leave, can do the chang e pose?" den he stood up and demo again. (!?!) And Edwin had to add in "and ur action pose", by doing my that left hand lift up to "test the wind (according to Tab)" action. Sigh....so cute! If only they can shut up and tok at the right time, lyk shut up in class and tok aft sch, I'll realli realli love this bunch of kids man.... now dun love dem 100%, cos they so naughty in my class, now only er...60%. Haha...wad's the time now? 12 plus liao...no wonder I'm not tinking in the right mind....

Super bad day today...sometimes I realli wonder why am I holding on to this job when all it brings is stress, stress and more stress. It's no wonder dat Angie says I look 24 when she saw my fotos I juz uploaded..super sad case man. Today went into 2N1 and was lyk quite sick of the whole class..they simply act lyk science period = free period. Can u imagine how demoralizing it is !?! I feel so sick of everything...realli. And also another thing happened dat affected my mood quite badly too lar...but not too convenient to say here...altho a few of my frenz will noe wad (or who) I'm referring to. Then went into 2N3..even though it's half a class, it's still as bad as ever. And I tink I totally give 2N3 a totally "I cant stand u idiots" look, maybe that's the reason why quite a few of my students actually went over to Minyu's class..so u can imagine how even more I'm depressed...they'd rather get out of my class and join another class. Wad type of useless teacher is diz may i noe!?! Actually I cant realli care if 2N3 listens la...they can all go over if they wan to, since they dislike mi so much...if onli Minyu dun mind (hint hint), I'll gratefully hand over the whole lot to her...even Zhenhao. I'm juz so supper depressed I'm seriously tinking of quitting and getting another job. I mean, how much time do I have left rite? Shld make use of the remaining time to learn other stuff. And maybe den...I'll be smiling more and frowning less. And maybe by then I'll look my age, and not 4 years older...
Anw today witnessed the first public caning in my whole entire life, this boy frm 2N2 la...luckily not my student or else I sure cry one...Actually the whack dun look too hard seriously...so I guess it's not TOO painful I hope. Also, I'd finally finished setting the sci mid-yr paper, but tmr have to start setting the class test 2...when it's supposed to be next wed! I'm super super stressed man...I need a divine angel to appear in my life and save mi frm all this!!! And when I finally went to buy my canes to bring to sch...my mother tell mi teachers are not allowed to do so...I was lyk, wad the .......! Where's my divine angel???

High heels la...high until my legs nearly got cramps..not much help even if I brought slippers to wear in staffroom. Tink it shall be a long long time before I actually don that pair of heels again. Anw today Minyu took half day off to go back sec sch to settle some testimonial thing..den I went into her sec 2 class for maths...and it's quite "terok", cos a few pple were actually throwing pens across the room...I mean, grow up man!?! And my lesson wif my darling class is taken away cos they had to choose that period for fire drill! Sigh...one less lesson wif my darlings...
Anw tokking abt my darlings...they made mi totally embarassed today during assembly. I dunno how am I gg to face the other teachers involved the next time liao. I was sitting on the last chair beside 2N1, den Lerwin (this new teacher) came in, he pulled another chair and sat all the way at the back, behind mi, but quite far. Then suddenly the whole bunch (James, Jonathon, Daniel etc), turned arnd and say to him "Why sit so far? Nearer la!". Then I turned and gave James the "u better stop it look". Den he gave mi the "relax lar" look. Then they continue using hand signals to motion Lerwin to sit closer to mi. All I can do is pretend I never hear anything. Then halfway thro sumone came frm behind and said "Hi"...that's William la (PE teacher), he den pulled a chair to sit beside mi den asked mi if one of his students who offended mi dat day came to apologize, I told him yar, he did. The next thing, I heard my darlings "scolding" Lerwin, say "See la! Now too late no chance liao!" I juz hoped William din hear it. And then...Michael (another relief teacher) have to cum sit in for assembly. Aaargh...he sit behind mi wif Lerwin. Then u can hear the "ooooos" and "arrrrrs" frm that bunch...they created quite a bit of commotion lor. And all the while, I was busily scribbling on paper my notes for chapter 14...Finally the talk is over, then those monkeys say so loud to the teachers behind.."3 on one!!" I almost fainted. Then when Michael scolded them on being rude...they say "3 on 1 soccer wif u la! wad u tinking of !?!" I hurrily walked out of the hall. Wah kaoz...it's so embarassing lor! Imagine how awkward it'll be if I am to tok to any of them? Ok...Michael's ok, cos we actually laugh it off in the staffrm everytime. William's ok too...cos he's used to it i tink..haha! But I never tok to Lerwin before and so I tink it'll be super awkward the next time I see him. All thanx to my darlings who are so afriad their Ms Fong will remain single for life and thus keep trying to play matchmaker. Now, everytime I have to tok to a male teacher, I'll have to look arnd n make sure none of those highly sensitive paparazzi are arnd...*shudders*

1st April (Thurs):
Had the pet bottle rocket launcing competition today. I brough camera to take my darling class at work. Will post up asap to my frenz will actually noe how my students look lyk...how cute, how naughty...haha. Anw the stupid James they all dun lemme take their foto so apparently my frenz still wun noe how James, Daniel and Jonathon look lyk...but sure got chance one. Anw I managed to get my cute boys (Edwin frm 2N1 and ZhenHao frm 2N3) to pose for mi to take foto...so cute! Anw I totally felt I was part of their class lor...helping dem wif the bottle making thing, and standing together wif dem under the hot sun to launch the bottle! Apparently when the bottle is launched, the water inside the bottle will be pushed out backwards la...Then I dunno mah, so first bottle launch I stand rite behind the group. Then when they fired, water plus pieces of grass were sprayed on my top! Then I was standing there fuming while the students were laughing at mi as if I'm a clown liddat...Anw I stood wif them and cheered lyk a madwoman when we got a point la. Then for the last 3 shots, they actually got the teachers to launch for them (onli for this class la...) Then for the rocket I launched, it apparently seemed lyk it went in, but it's only after that that they found out the rocket went in, but bounced out (!?!). So I din get a pt la. Den they got Michael to fire the 2nd shot, apparently the class were lyk cheering him on lyk "Michael, Michael, Michael!" But er...his shot din make it and those kids start blaming him! So poor thing...not lyk he wants it to fail lor. Then the last shot they got Lewin to fire it. Smart lor...he got the point for the class. So my class won! I knew it...they sure win one...why? Cos they have mi mah...and..."I will help them" (min, geddit? hahahaha). They all crowding arnd mi to high-five after the results were announced lor. It's the first time I'm happy at the end of the day...grinning all the way. Well Done 2N1! Anw I went to the $1 shop to buy 7 packets of sweets for them, spent the entire night wrapping them up in nice packets, I made over 70, so u can imagine who tired I was...but I tink they deserve the reward lor... =)
2nd April (Fri):
Had no time to blog yesterday cos wrapping the sweets so blog for both today. Today is super eventful I dunno where to start frm. First period, I went into my darling 2N1 class. Daniel was so excited abt the 2 boxes of prizes on the teacher's table, (for winning the pet bottle thing), den opened it excitedly. When he saw wad's it, he was lyk "wah lau! Ms Fong u see for urself wad is it..." Then turned out it's packets of Oreo biscuit..haha..he complaining the sch "kgniow". Then I made them go back to their seats, den congratulated them for yesterday's job well done, den gave out my sweets for them. It was a veri nice feeling la, every single one of them smiling and enjoying their "prizes". Den my darling Edwin came up to mi wif one packet of Oreo, say "teacher, for u one." Then I told him nvm u all take. He say,"No...for u one..." Then I said nvm...Then he strongly insisted,"teacher u take!" Then I say okok..den I accepted it. Then he look so happy I oso veri happy..haha. Then when I walked past Daniel's table, he motioned to mi lyk wan to tell mi a secret liddat. I bent over, he gave mi a happy smile, say "teacher, I first time go out in front of the sch to get prize leh (cos his grp's rocket won best design in the class), so happy. I was so amused by him I gave him s WIDE grin lor...hehe. AND THEN...James and Li Mei have to start quarrelling behind the class! I asked dem to stop arguing...den then continued. Suddenly when I turned arnd to write workbook answers on the board, a commotion broke out behind, this boy not frm my class appeared and hit James lor...den I shouted at the "intruder" to get out of my class. When he went out, James looked lyk he's not done wif the "fight", took my pass without my permission and juz walked out. I kept asking him to cum back he heck care, say "write my name la! suspend suspend lor!" I felt so helpless, I din wan to write his name cos I noe one more time he'll realli get it frm the sch liao lor. Then apparently I heard Li Mei behind was voicing her unhappiness say I unfair, last time they walked out I wrote their names now James walked out I never write. Then at the end of the lesson I went over to Li Mei to ask wad exactly happened. As expected, it's juz cos of sum stooopid stuff. Then Edwin Daniel they all came and tell mi "teacher, he took ur pass leh, now got caught by Ms Thien (VP) will get u into trouble leh.." I noe that if I juz write wad exactly happened I'll be clear of any prob...but it took mi veri long to decide lor. Then I did write down la...one thing is cos of fairness lor..I can't keep shielding him. But I was realli touched when alot of them came to tell mi if the sch ask anything they'll help mi say wad happened...they actually say things lyk "we wun let u get into trouble one"...seriously I was so super touched, yet so super worried for James.
Nothing eventful to say abt my sec 1 classes, but surprisingly 1N2 was rather well behaved today, maybe cos I walked in wif a super pissed look (cos of James la..)...
2N3...wad to say. They took almost half the class to get splitted to their respective classes lor! So pissed! Then when I was waving around and shouting lyk a mad women for those not in my class to juz get the hell out of here, ZhenHao was taking a video of mi on his phone...damn idiot one lor him. But it wa funny la...cos the fone got sound one mah..he was acting director liddat, making introductions while taking video of mi. He went.."this is my sci teacher ms fong...she always got a stupid face...etc) I was lyk "OI"! Then he laughed and laughed, until his eyes end up as one slit as usual..haha! (see Zhenhao's foto u'll understand wad i mean..)
Then went out wif Minyu after sch for shopping...not much of a "shou huo" la, I onli got a dress and a top, she got a dress. Our teacher dresses..haha. Anw her darling Vincent keep bugging her on the fone by asking upteen times which part of Orchard is she in...totally feel lyk asking him to shut up man...a boy..tok as much as he does...go be ger la....
Anw thought James will be angry wif mi (cos he's one wif a mentality dat everybody owes his stg liddat), but he msged mi not long ago..."Miss..u ok anot? Today did Ms Thien (VP) punish u?" So sweet rite? I mean, he should be worrying abt himself now instead of mi lor...Then when I say cos of him I'm frowning the whole day, he say it's his fault, if I wan to blame him then go ahead. Sigh...how can I bear to scold him den? Juz told him not to keep acting on impulse and stuff. I wun wan him to get suspension for 3 months such dat by the time he cums back, Ms Fong will be gone liao. So hopefully he learns his lesson lor...hopefully hopefully....
(Damn tired now, but muz upload the fotos or else my kids will keep bugging mi for it!)
