phew....

it has been over a month!!! my goodness, time just flies!!! well, a lot of things happened in this one month. i was down with H1N1 (doc said the probability is over 90%) and given 7 days MC. once i was back, i was flooded with work. markings and catching up of syllabus.

i'm now completing the work given to me one by one. i'm almost at the last hurdle. should be able to finish everything by this weekend, hopefully!! hehe :P

anyways, time to rest now!!!

gathering...

school's not bad after all.... just that i feel that my kids seem to be bored in my class sometimes... a boring topic, so i have no idea how to make it interesting. maybe it takes a more experienced teacher to do that!! ganja...

i have been trying to plan interesting lessons for my kids. but since i'm quite busy with some other stuffs, i feel that the time spent for planning lessons is becoming shorter and shorter. weekends used to be the days my brain works the most but now, i just wanna rest. ganja la!! 

i guess this is not what i wanna do or who i wanna be. i have to get my priorities right. i will concentrate more on planning lessons and do other stuffs if i have time. haha :D should be that way!! 

Man U in Malaysia!!!

the first ever live match for me... A very entertaining match.  syabas Malaysia!!

work, work and work...

i dun work very well under pressure... so whenever pressure is given to me, i'll try take it easy and do it in my style....

i din realise that being a teacher can be so stressful at times. people say teaching is so easy. teach the same thing in years and the working hours is shorter. haha :D i bet u, no teacher has said that. other than waking up before 6 everyday, teachers have to work during weekends. it gets longer when exams are around. u have to motivate the students, go for extra classes and u may be the one who sets the paper. 

i need to get use to the life. though the teaching part is enjoyable, sometimes students might not appreciate it which can lead u into depression. admin work can kill you as it piles up as the time goes and you have to meet the parents to discuss about their kids. parents might need to discuss about 1 or 2 kids at most but teachers, more than 40 kids. :D

after an exhausting year, the only thing that teacher can look for is the 3 weeks december holidays. we have to refresh ourselves before starting all over again!!

First day in school!!

with H1N1 influenza virus spreading freely in Singapore, i went to school after 2 months break. first day of school was very stressful. i came to know that i am the form teacher of sec 1NA. quite interesting bunch of kids. but the admin work can kill!! hehe :P

i'm also teaching sec 2NT science and sec 3 pure bio. teaching load is not that heavy but being a form teacher covers everything!! not my kind of work but i have to give my best!! 

let's see how it goes for this semester!! still a long way to go.... can't actually say anything after the first day!!

Bangkok...

the only bad thing happened after we returned was that we cannot report to school for 7 days!! ganja H1N1!!!

Phuket...

we arrived in phuket on 14 June. if u r there, bargain the taxi/minivan price. we managed to get a minivan with 100 baht each. so it's quite cheap.

we went to patong beach, the most developed (over developed) town in phuket. night life there is something to see but not to look forward too. and be careful; every 10 females u see, 9 of them used to be males. :P

we had a good time - rafting, snorkeling, riding ATV, shopping, eating, etc. etc. it was a good 4 days there. but i still feel that the chorals in phuket are not as beautiful as the ones in Redang or Perhentian. 

Next stop - Bangkok!!
