Came home veri late last nite...so cant blog. Alot of things happened la...happy things first, follwed by sad. I shall start wif the happy one first. I went Escape theme park wif a few of my students, Daniel, James, Jonathan, Alex, Kim Wee, Jasmine and Sharon. We actually had a great time la...as in realli fun. We sat on all the rides, alot of times. Den at one pt of time, Daniel got quite sick...after the revolution ride he nearly threw up...so funny. Then at the viking, the usually "act-macho" pple, James, Daniel and Joanthan, went to sit at the centre row, while the rest of us sit at the ends. Then after u see dem lyk totally half-dead...damn funny. Then I was telling the gers now they noe wad to shoot at dem in class, when they try to act big and macho. Haha...their weakness. Den when we queuing up for the "wet and wild" ride, got a bunch of "ang-mo kids" behind. They were saying they sat on the Revolution ride for 4 times liao...den I pat Daniel's back, he whispered to mi in a veri "paiseh" voice...say "why they so brave one ar??" I laughed out loud lor! Those ang-mo kids are at most 10 yr olds lor! Daniel is damn cute man...Den when we sat the Panasonic ride, I was so tired by den I was sleeping on the car whil waiting for it to start lor. Imagine, sleeping on a rollar coaster!? Den Sharon had to wake mi up before the car moves...so damn paiseh. Then there's this ride called the "Flipper", after Daniel's legs were all wobbly after i forgot which ride, I say we go sit Flipper. He was lyk.."Flip ur head ar!" Haha...so fun to tease him. Then I tink Wet and Wild must've been their fav ride...cos we sat on it dunno how many times, even when it was 8 plus 9..we still on it! It was damn eerie la...esp when the boat travelling into the tunnel. Then we keep changing "travelling partners" after each turn la. Then on the turn when Sharon sit wif James...he actually scared her until she cry lor. Apparently he was singing sum ghost song...den later he tap on her shoulders, when she turn arnd he "BOO" he veri loudly and she cried. Damn ungentlemanly rite??? Then he said the next one he wan to sit wif mi. I said ok la...den he tried singing his ghost song...no effect on mi. DEN i started singing my famous "bu liao qing"...that song dat goes,"wang bu liao, wang bu liao....". He freaked out and say i win...and asked mi to stop. Yay, took revenge for Sharon. Then when I sit wif Alex I di the same thing, he oso got scared...hahaha! Still dare to scare gers la...those boys...HAR!~ Anw...all in all, we had a super great time. And then...the bad part came...
When I went home, my parents gave mi a dressing down. My dad say as their teacher, I should encourage dem to go home early to study, and not play wif dem until so late. Wad's more they're having mid-year exam next week, which made mi feel veri guilty. That's not all..my mum came to my room to give mi a lecture. As an experienced teacher, I find that all she'd said makes sense. She said teachers and students should always have this "teacher-student" distance, and not fren-fren type. She also siad that by forging such a close bond wif students, I'm going to make it veri difficult for the next teacher to win them back...which I tink realli makes sense. Mrs Lim is going to hate mi man. I mean, there're already sec 1s telling mi they're going to fail her tests, James told mi he can hand up a blank paper etc. Altho i already made the sec 1s promise they'll listen to Mrs Lim and do well la...Then another thing, my mum scold mi for letting my students noe I'm leaving. Cos they had to spend alot of money getting mi all the presents, which is firstly, a waste of their parents' money, and secondly, useless. As in, I've no space to keep dem and they'll juz be left there to collect dust. Den I felt realli bad...maybe I realli shoudn't have told dem I'm leaving and made a "silent exit" lor. Wad was I tinking... Damn I'm such a lousy teacher...totally failed at my first attempt. Den my mum say if I'm gg to be so emotional after having dem for juz 3 months...how to take up teaching as a career? I've failed...totally.
