dramas and traumas all over the school... hahaha.... well lemme give u a couple of examples on how kids are behaving in Singapore nowadays....
First example: The teacher asked the class to do work and this girl wasn't bothered to even look at her book. The teacher approached her and asked, "Why are you not doing my work?"
The girl answered in a rude manner, "Why must I do? I don't like it so I will not do it! Just because you are a teacher, doesn't mean that i'm your pet and have to follow everything that u say."
Second example: The lesson has just ended and the teacher was signing off the register book. He saw the whole class started to be noisy and many of them walking. So the teacher looked up and asked everyone to go back to their seats. One of the students answered back, "Your period is over now. Why should we listen to you?"
well, these scenarios are just the tip of the iceberg. these kinds of problems are still occurring in my school now. There are good and well-behaved students around. In fact teachers are coming to school everyday for them. but kids with discipline problems just keep discouraging the teachers. However, teachers are not weak. We will face them no matter what happens.... after all, its our responsibility to develop the students character!!!

Back to School....
well, when i was in sec school, last week of December had always been the 'back to school' week where parents and students went out shopping for school uniforms and stuffs. kind of miss those days. Now, i'm back to school again. not as a student but as a teacher.
my first class was sec 2 class. i was just observing the class while my subject mentor was teaching in the class. this will carry on for another couple of weeks before i take over the classes. cool, huh. at last i've started my career path.
there were a lot of newly appointed teachers but according to the staffs here only a few will survive and i wanna be in that few. Teaching is my passion now and i wanna achieve my goals before leaving. nowadays, students are well aware of the surroundings. they are more aggresive in the sense that they wan explanation for all and will rebel if they are not satisfied with the explanation given. quite hard to manage these kinds of students. but then, if we look into it, they might be from problematic family which includes single parents. so we must understand them well before taking any actions. i wanna and will be the students best frens over here since i'm the youngest teacher around here. haha.
my first week of teaching has ended. nothing much. an eye opener for me about the students in singapore. friends in malaysia, trust me. no matter how naughty we were last time, we were angels. really. our teachers should appreciate us for being good students. some students here are really 'kuti syaitans'. (young devils). but then, everyone has the soft spot. hope i'll succeed in being their frens....

Fuyoh!!!
AT last, finally, i'm blogging again. ganja, it was a long break. simply because i din go online for God knows how long. so i din have the opportunity to blog.
Well, within this period a lot of things have happened. I found the love of my life; this would be the most important event that has happened in my life after so so many many years. Finally, it's happening to me. cool. haha. i'm loving it.
'Transformers' is a must watch movie. If u have not watched it, book the tickets now!!! trust me, u'll love it. It's better to watch it in the cinema. Do not buy pirated DVDs coz the sound system might screw up the mood to watch the movie. Highly recommended. I have never paid to watch the same movie twice in the cinema but i think 'Transformers' will be the first movie i'm going to do so.
oh ya, i have graduated from NUS. BSc degree with concentration in Molecular and Cell Biology. wanna pursue my studies to a higher level but still thinking when to start since i'm gonna start teaching in one of the sec schools in Singapore on the 23 July. still counting the days.
Anymore updates bout me?? well, i'm still in RCHN NUS Chapter. Red Cross in short. gonna be here for quite sometime. maybe i have taken a long break till i dunno what else to write. haha.
A piece of advice: Do not delay. start doing what u can do today and not tomorrow. Then, u'll achieve success today and not tomorrow.

'sigh'ntific description about me!
well, liz challenged me to write about me scientifically. so here i am describing myself in science and maybe stats. those who wanna learn science, dun follow whatever i say. u might hate science for the rest of ur lives. those who wanna learn stats, believe only ur books. haha.
like all other living things, i'm made up of C, H and O. Crazy, Hyper and Old (i'm a dinosaur). brain and heart are the most important organs to all higher organisms, but i have neither. i dun have the grey matter coz i miss placed it when i was young. and couldn't find it till now. my heart is now not with me coz it's with a girl back in Malaysia.
now, lets go to my attitude. quiet, shy, normal, sane, logical, rational, scientific, mathematical, - these words have one thing in common. none describes me!!! damaged insulators (my skin) caused electrical shock, so i dun look like David Beckham anymore. people, not me, say i look more like Tom Cruise now. i'm an organism which can survive on Milo alone but cannot survive even though i have everything but Milo (maybe i'll change my mind when i have everything). i dun like to watch moss porn like Birdie; i like real actions (if u understand what i mean). its biology!!! my chromosomes like to go to temples and libraries more than shopping malls and pubs.
well, if u wanna know more bout me, u shud be reading a paper on me written by Spielbeg. ET. Liz, i can't think of anything anymore dy... u know y?? i told u i misplaced my brain. so cannot think. hehe....

but then, to be honest, i really enjoyed this semester. frens became closer to me. managed my time quite well. went out for valentines. hahaha. called Liz on valentines and freaked her out. thanks to Jo for that. haha. sorry, Liz. went to Sentosa when i was in the midst of exams and projects due date. watched TMNT a day before my exams. haha. quite crazy.
after all, its my last sem. no regrets. and later, i'll on my way back to school. not as a student, but as a teacher. haha. hated bio all my life but ending up teaching bio. haha. most probably bio. do not hate anyone or anything. coz u might end up with them. haha.

Pink....
Pink is a colour of girls and everyone knows it. however, there are some guys who really like pink. they wear pink shirts, carry pink bags, etc. haha. actually, for some guys, pink is nice on them. maybe they also like pink panther!! haha.
pink is a nice soft colour. but it is not my favourite colour, of course. pink = girls, as far as i concern. i might buy something in pink in the future, but definitely not for me. haha. no one in my family really liked pink. my sister prefers red coz it literally means brave. actually, red carries a stronger attitude. pinky girls tend to be soft and quiet. haha. if a girl is noisy, pink wouldn't be her favourite colour. haha.
does anyone know that pink is the Cancer Awareness Colour for Breast Cancer? even this shows that pink is for females. haha. The pic shows the t-shirt design for the cancer awareness taken from
.pink has its importance. it shows how soft a girl is. pink is for girls. haha.
to end this topic, i have a news for all the guys. Prisoners in Mason Country Jail in Texas are forced to wear pink jumpsuits and pink slippers so that they wont commit any crimes again. haha. after coming out from the prison, i dun think they will wanna go back again!!! guys, better watch out!!!
Finally, something good to talk about.....
at last, i feel the aura around me to be positive. good things happening around me. i went to a temple at depot rd last friday. after a hectic semester, last friday was a break for me. its always good to go to temple where u pray and get everything off from ur chest as well as meditate to relax ur mind. and since friday, only good things have been happening back to back for the first time in my life for God knows how long.
after finding out my fren is getting together with another fren, i came to know that my another fren is already together with her project mate. though its unbelievable, i'm very happy for them. at last, they have somebody now. just that, i might not meet them as often as before. haha. we all know y.
next, my tests' marks. i did quite good in my test which was really difficult. unbelievable again but it boosted my confidence for the module. haha. the last time i was happy with my tests' marks is long long time ago apart from another test before this.
i also feel that the friendships between my frens and me are getting stronger. the understanding between us is getting better. i admit, i have been bad to some of them. everyone makes mistakes and i have my own reason y i was bad to them. but then, now everything has changed or at least changing to the better. i feel that there's only one emptiness in my life. no idea people would understand the situation i'm in now. and no idea who to share everything with.
i've set up my goals of my life clearly. community service would be my prime goal and with that i will wanna learn more. more things about the culture, language (including sign language) and the people all around the world. we might think that we know most of the things but trust me if what we know is a drop, what we have to learn is an ocean. nothing to lose in learning or teaching. thats y i chose to become a teacher. hahaha.....
