Work! Work! Work !

Today I spend my whole day preparing the assignment for my class, assigned by Ms L. I want to do well to impress her too.

Busy at last!

Spent time at Laysie house

Today, I am going to Laysie's house for a gathering. Hence I decide to do some cooking for my friends today. Instead of meetng at 3pm, we meet up at Burger King Restaurant at 1pm to buy some groceries.

I reach there early and have a light bruch at BK while waiting. Then Dzul reach as well as the rain starts to pour. Laysie cannot make it later, so both of us go and buy the groceries.

Today menu : Seafood Spaghetti with many finger foods.

Total Cost: $40

Because of the heavy rain, I decide to take a cab to her house despite the short distance.

Once we reach there, we start to do cooking before Liza reaches. I love the process of cooking with friends with Laysie and Dzul helping out. We manage to finish cooking and cleaning up at 4pm.





Seafood spaghetti with Quail eggs
Hotdogs
French Fries
Chicken nugget
few packets of keropok
Peach Green Tea.



After that, we go and play Pictionary ( Guys Vs Girl ). Dzul and I won suddenly although we lag far behind the girls.It was quite fun actually. I never know that drawing a simple word can be difficult.



Then we play SeQuence, the board game I bought yesterday. This time, liza and I pair up while Dzul and Laysie pair up. The game was actually fun.

Liza and I won in every rounds.

Then later, we continue playing pictionary game while dicussing about having a camping at Johor Bahru. I am surpised to know that Liza is very interested in camping overnight.

I love adventure.

Definitely, I anticipate the camping on saturday but not much expectation.

We stayed till midnight and took a cab home together.

Meeting with Kay

Today I went to Plaza Singapura to meet Kay where he started his training at Giordano Store. Last time, I brought him to the Giordano headquarter for the job interview.

The lady thought both of us were brothers and filipino. That amused me much and him too. I had a good conversation with her because I had working experience with Giordano before.

Perhaps because of me partly,Kay managed to get the job.You just need to get a right connection to get something somehow. It is the power of networking.

I bought some games and then we went to Sakura Restaurant at City Hall for dinner because there is no much less expensive restaurant, mostly cafe and the food court were damn crowded.

After that, we walked around before going back home

Thursday new lesson timetable

Today I got news from HOD of mathematics that I would have a new timetable. According to her, the principal wanted me to co-teach with other teacher for two upper secondary normal technical class as well as gave them remedial after two pm.

Although it was much easier and a lot of free time and I was given a privilege to come later to school, I had to go back late till 3pm. I should not have no complaint about it actually.

I thought I prayed to myself that I won't want to go to this class because of the first bad impression I had from them when I relieved them once. Well, my prayer is not answered and I got the class.

Well, something happened for a reason and I should be mature enough to be to take the challenge. Am I?

Today I start to give my first remedial class today to this infamous class. We see about it.

At 2pm, I waited for them for 30 minutes until only 2 students came. I was not sure whether i should be happy or angry with the turn-out .I knew that they are wasting my time because I had life outside.

I just pass the names of absentees to HOD for some disciplinary action.

Wed - go to WOS workshop

Today I was being tasked to go with Mr N to attend the MWOS workshop with the D&T students. We were to assemble at 1.30pm at school lobby.

Why this class( the class which I teach)again? Today we would be going to Little India for tour as well as to capture some images that were interesting and relevant to the workshop through photography.I was so quite tired to be a nanny as well as walking under hot sun.

We went to Mustafa center to take some pictures, then we walked the area and went to the famous flea market near Bugis.





Then we walked again until to the last destination : Mosque. Then we stopped at Sim Lim Square to wait for the bus. Going back at peak hour in city will definitely encounter a traffic jam.

We managed to go back to school at 7pm.

My short day became a long day.

On my own

Bad news for me.

I had to teach two class by myself because Mr 0 had to go for urgent leave because of home matters he needed to attend. No matter how much confident I was, I am still not prepared mentally yet for the class.

I did not have any proper skills and I felt unsure suddenly. I must do my own best to teach or else made fool of myself. Teaching is just like a drama and I am an actor with certain to convince the audience.

I taught the upper secondary class first and I got the stupid nick given by some guy which would be stuck onto me forever in school. I tried to teach them only but not manage the class well. Some of them did listen to me but some just did not bother much and this annoyed me.

Even one student sarcastically told me that she prefer Mr O to teach because he could settle those people well and when i taught the class, she did not understand at all so she better did her own work and waited for Mr O to come.

Seriously, the statement really affected me as it questioned my capability as a teacher. I am matured enough to take the criticism positively and accept it as something I would improve myself better.

I am only 2 days teacher , unlike Mr O who had been a teacher for years and he was the form teacher for that class. No matter what, it really bruised my ego today.

I had fun with lower secondary class. They asked too much personal questions which were not in syllabus with the teaching objective I need to do today. At least they listen to me and did their work.

I guessed that was the difference being in Express Stream and Normal Stream or I am just being stereotyped somehow.

I did my best today even without any skills to guide me

First day in school

Today I went to school and met the other guy at the general office. We chatted awhile before going for the assembly first. We was quite surpised to be have our name to be announced in front the school and we HAD to give a brief ice-breaking announcement to them.YT gave the brief statement and mine is much brief than him.

Gosh!

We have to stand in front and I had to sing the National Anthem and Pledge loudly to show the good role model.I had never sang and said the pledge during my school days and here, I would be doing that every day. How ironic.

I was given a time table last time by Mrs JY so I needed to look for Mr O as I am going to co-teach with him.I skipped the first two lessons but would be joining him for the lowest secondary class.

In between, I should settle some administrative matters and a lot of breaks. I manage to get the table which is far away and ulu from other people which was good.


Then YT managed to get the seat near me so got someone familiar to chat with. I start to plan on how to decorate my table before going for break with YT. Mr L met me and discuss about D&T and then ask me to consider joining scout as CCA.

I was fine with the choice as long as it was fun and adventurous.

Later, I went to the class and just sit behind to observe how Mr O conduct the class hence I could learn how to do one when I was on my own.I realise that time spent mostly to sound the students to wake up, to lower the noise level and other discipline action than the teaching.

Talk about classroom management. Mr O did a good job doing that. He managed as well as taught the class well.

Today I could go back early

Exciting for tommorow

I am quite to start working tommorow. No more slacker and it is official. I am quitee xcited as well as unsure what is going to happen to tommorow and I keep thinking about even though it is so unpredictable.

I had my haircut, my clothes ironed and my bag ready. I am waiting for tommorow only.

Hoodwinked

Kay and I watch movie : Hoodwinked, some animated movie. The morale of the story is don't easily judge the people by the appearance because looks are deceiving. Not all mean and ugly people are horrble ones. Cute and sweet looking ones can be deadly.

Plus, everyone has a story to tell and may link to each other somehow.

Before that I brought Kay to Little India to visit Mustafa centre.





Then we had a feast at Lau Pau Sat and let him try the delicacies here which he might find strange and interesting. The food are quite expensive though

After that, we go back home

Thursday - sentosa

Demolished Boon Lay Interchange

There goes the memories of Boon Lay Interchange.

The rush hour in early morning to NTU
Long queue and tired faces of undergraduate
The 242 queue had never been short
unless 7am after I dawned till morning from clubbing.

The place that never rest until 1am
When it became a good lover spot
Miss the nostalgia and the dull design

The place I bumped old friends, new friends and enemies.
The place I always visit to go for another destination.

I miss you

Pervert

When I was so bored, I noticed something pervert, This old man , whom I am not sure if he deliberately or not on purpose to stand near this lady ( she is being blocked by the guy in black ).At times, he came closer to the guy and brush his crotch to the girl. It was not one time but few times until the lady find it offensive.

the lady tried to distance herself from him but when the bus jerked, he got closer to her and she found it so irritating. Then she alighted the bus. Then when the bus was empty, he got himself aa seat and observed other ladies.

pervert!

Meeting with Them

I decide to meet Bee Lan at Raffles City for dinner. We walked around and came across the classiy restaurant named Aiwo restaurant which served low calorie meal. It is like sushi coverter belt except the dishes are of low carb and fat.

It is kind of interesting to try new thing. We went in after Hui Hui arrived. Hung yong would join us later because he had something on. Check out the dishes below.

My favourite is the kimchi pancake.













Hui hui and Bee lan be a model for me...

Then we went to the V tea cafe for chilling out at Esplanade. The place is too far renaissance like style for me. It did make like a prince in the palace. I love the service by the beautiful ladies. I think everything just high-class and beautiful. Bee Lan and I ordered hot tea while Hui Hui and Hung yong order chilled drinks. Hui Hui suggested to try the melting brownies.







The brownies damn nice, really. I love it....







Bee Lan at her glamourous.


We did not sure where to go so we went to Marina to watch movie but the movie here were limited and Bee lan and I already watched certain movies. Then we did not afford to travel to Palza Singapura or Cineleisure because of the time.We decided to play bowling.















Bowling with hung yong taught me something. If you think you are better, there were people are much better than you. It taught you to be humble and accept the fact.

I thought I was good in bowling but he is better.Damn!

After that, Hung Yong and I walked back to esplanade to take NR5 home while the girls took cab home. We chatted along the way home.



I hate greay-brown lense...i look so .... whatever
