Halloween Night

kern 's birthday

Good day today

Today the school started at 8.30am and ended at 10.30am. It was because today was marking day for everyone. I had done my marking yesterday hence I continued my marker's report for both class.

I ended my day at 11am and went back home to catch up with my sleep.

And I slept whole day, apparently

Last Day

Today was the last day of end of year exam and my role as invigilator for this scool was last one. Apparently I would be invigilating my favourite class. I felt good when they saw me in class.

No matter wht, I still did my role as one and discipline and silence were still be important. Thank goodness the paper was 2hr and half and I did not think I could do such paper in long time.

Burn out!

I spent the rest of the day finishing the marking and I did.

I went to bugis at 4.30pm to meet Kay. We window-shopped at Bugis Junction, arab street, Bussuroh Street and the Kampung Glam bazaar.

We had dinner at Siam kitchen and had a buffet. I just had last night and I had it again. We did a lot of catching up and was happy to see him doing well here.

Marking time

Today, the students were having the maths paper, set by me. I knew they were going to get the hell out of doing the papers. I heard that it was tough one.

I had invigilation at express stream class and I hated doing invigilating.

I passed by the class and swore and cursed at me for setting the paper so difficult but to my surpise,the other class had different opinion on my paper.

Once I got hold of the papers, I started spending my whole day marking the papers. Mr K was marking paper 2.Hence I managed to get the information needed by the class I gave remedial to.

They were going to die this time.

*evil laugh*

Fashion X

Today I met Joe at Paragon at 4.30pm to attend the fashion show by Max & Co. He had the invitations and invite me to join him and his friend, Steven to attend the show.

I got the sms from him to go to the make-up store first since the show had not started that early. The fashion shows were always delayed to certain time and I hate waiting time.

I saw him with his model friend inside, still in the midst of donning make-up for the show.

Then we all went down and secure the seat near the end of the runway platform. He told me that the fashion show only showcase female clothngs as he got a wrong information. I did not mind seeing babes doing the catwalk. So many beautiful females attended the show today.

20 minutes of runways and assortment of pastries and colourful drinks.

Fabulous.

Joe went to meet his friend first while Steven and I were window-shopping at Gucci Boutique. I loved the shades and the shoes....everything....but the prices turned me off, but not that much.

Then we walked to Far East plaze for a dinner, but ended up having one at Burger King as most of the restaurants and eating places were fully booked.

We chatted awhile while enjoying the food. Then we decided to go to Vivocity by MRT at harbourfront since it was launched only recently.Once we went there, the place was quite crowded but so many stores had not yet opened. We took some pictures despite the bad haze. We could not even see the Sentosa island.

Then, we went LRT and stopped at Clarked Quay. We walked to hooters restaurant where Joe needed to meet his colleagues beside th restaurant. There was a fashion show coming later. It had been a long time to see and associated with fashion industry

Models, beautiful clothing, bitchy working crew and superficiality.

It was kind of weird to be in the scene again. It had been a long time actually. Joe is actually the assistant to Fashion designer in singapore.Hence, he receive many invitations to all sort of fashion shows, runway and anything fashion-related events.

Seeing the him and other crews as well as the working system behind the scene, reminded me of the movie 'Devil wears Prada'. Seeing some familiar people in the industry, was the last things I want to see. I hate plastic people and I hate
being one.

Actually there was ibiza festival carry on along the clark quay.Hence the place was filled with masquerade and loud music. I loved the bold and glittery costumes and the night was lively and colourful.

Once the show was over, we proceeded to the Attica Club to watch the show inside.The good thing was we could go in free, thanks to Joe. The place was packed with good looking crowd. It had been a long time to enter club and kind of miss the feeling actually.

After watching the show, We had some drink first before heading back home. I just still felt so weird to attend such events. Maybe I am not used to the barbie doll lifestyle.

I m nobody in fashion.

Final Revision

Today, I had only one period to give lessons to the class xx. While giving out the notes, the VP came and stood outside the class. My classroom management would be questioned but luckily the class suddenly became quiet and well-behaved.

I had not finished my revision today but I was lucky to have a relief lesson with them later.Hence I could finish whatever left behind and some tips to do their exam well. Before that, I had relief class with 2X. The discipline wise was terrible. The girls used the camphone to take photo of me. I hated it.

I am so un-photogenic

I could not be so friendly with them or else they would not show some respect for me and hence the classroom discipline wise will be uncontrollable.

After that school, I stayed back to give remedial to 3X pupils. I was quite worried about them for just simply not bothering about the exam tommorow.As usual, the F4 gangs made so much noise in the library and cause distraction for other pupils who were serious in revising.

I had to go back at 4.30pm again. I was really drained and tired.

Second last Normal lessons

Today, I am going to teach xx class again. I anticipate more shouting to them. The only last resort was to give a motivation and perhaps reverse psycology to listen to me. What I did to prepare them for the examination.Ms L was nice enough to give the similar assignments, plus extra notes from me.

But the students were still not appreciate what the teachers had done to them. At least, today they took their work seriously and asked questions from me.

I had a relief teaching at lower secondary xx. I was thankful to Almighty for the the heavy rain He gave. The sounds of the heavy rain drown their noise in class. I was too tired to shout at them today.

I m blessed.

After school, the F4 from xx came inside the staff office to look for me. Their mega laughter rumbled the whole room. I met them at the library. I did admit that I had fun teaching them but the noise level was too much a unbearable. Their laughter were very scary. I stayed with them till 4.30pm.

I was really tired after the session. I spent my time explaining them as well as controling the noise level.

I was almost in burn-out today.

Normal Time

When I reached school, I receive the notes from Ms L for me to conduct a lesson for the xx class. I was not in the mood to wear contact lense early morning because I felt so sleepy.

Anyway, today is the start of the Normal technical N level examination. I wish my students the best for the coming major examination.

I went to the class and waited for them to stand up to greet me. I thought today, I would try not to shout but I could not. I gave them a motivational advice that they should start getting serious since examinations were just three days away. As usual, the class was usually rowdy but they did their work at least.

Once, I reached my table, I receive the relief strip of paper for the same class for three period. I started to send softcopy for my HOD and plan for relief later.

No point giving them works to do during the relief time, hence I made full use to give individual a short correction on their test as well as motivational support that they could make it for exam if they were not lazy and well-prepared.

While doing the individual coaching, another teacher came to the class. Hence, this reflected my inability to manage the class. Seriously, I could change them almost everytime and my voice got hoarse due to constant shouting.

At one point, I threw the chair on the floor, which startled everyone and made them keep quiet for awhile. They are really testing my patience. I was so tired to really handle them again and again. Sometimes, I really did not want to discipline and acrry one with my teaching objective to make the students understand the topic and well-prepared for it.

Then I was stopped by my students who were just finished their English N level examination to ask some questions on the maths paper. Hence I was so occupied whole day, which I thought I might be at least free at certain period.

But I am not.

Then Mr J asked me to join him and Justin at canteen to give out the topo certificate and the badge to the secondary 2 students for the course they attended. Mr J, as well as Justin, sabotaged me by being a representative to give out the certificate and badge to the students.

It is kind of weird to shake hand with them before passing the certificate. I was always the receiving one, than the giving one. It was just so weird.

Then I had to give a remedial lession for another class at library. It was quite fun to give remedial especially when the two girls, one of them is the infamous student in school. All of them made so much noise in the library, causing the distraction as well as the rage of the librarian. I constantly told them to lowe the noise level but put on deaf ears. The remedial ended at 4pm.

I was already burned out. I packed my stuff and went home.

After a while, I took a jog for awhile to lose some baby fat around the waist.

Sleepy and Tired
