Who say I am free today?
Although, today supposed to be a free day for me because I had only 4 period today, I was superb busy today. I had to prepare lesson plan for this period because my mentor teacher was going for tournament. I was going to teach for those four period.
The topic : taxation.
The class gave me lesser hard time today when I was teaching. Perhaps the topic they are quite familiar with. I just said to myself , I could not be so perfectionist and expected everyone to listen to my lesson. At the end of the period, I should be happy as long as there was learning took place. I learnt to let go and do my part as educator.
After that, I went down to buy rojak and eat in staffroom so that i could simultaneously do my work while having my meal. I transferred all the students Social Studies project to Geography room, hence giving more space for my workspace. I marked the assignments, project works, tests and exercise books. I returned my form class report books, returned their primary school books and then taught the better class for three periods.
I was lucky enough to get attention and also have a interesting lesson - money exchange to engage their learning process, as well as the presence of the Ms Y. I did my best to ensure they learnt.
One of the band teachers, come to me suddenly. I knew it going somehow. Any teachers come to me, would have task for me, which made me fear of any visitors come to my table. He asked for my help since I was a mobile CCA teacher.
Mobile CC teacher means enter any CCA if the teachers were not make it for the CC they need to be presented. To me, it was quite unfair for me and Mr KO because the workload compared to other teachers were the same. I rather had one CCA to be in charge of. There was no justice at all for us. Who says we were idling around and do nothing. But who we are to voice our opinion. Mr KO even brought this to HOD CCA but he lost in the battle where we fought for our rights. We don't have rights at first place, anyway.
Then while doing work, My reporting officer, Mrs T came to my table and heard about me going overseas this weekend. She told me that I needed to ask permission from the managament because this was a MOE procedure for any civil servants so as to safeguard us. I was not aware about it since I only go overseas for one day. That includes going Kuala Lumpur or further, excluding Johor Bahru. I guessed I would keep myself quiet for any overseas activities, in future.
Then I had to go fo the shooting cca with Mr KO. I managed to collect the armoury keys from the Vice principal and range keys from General office. At most, the student leader, Kenneth guided us what to do during the range. He is nice enough to let us test the pistol and rifle to practise shooting.
It have been a long time I shot using pellet as well as a live round bullet. I was a good shooter, during army days and during secondary schools. But today, I missed a lot of shoot within the range on the scorecard. Mr Ko even score bull-eyes and within the ranges even though this was his first time handling weapon. Maybe I was not that young anymore. My heart beats so fast and caused the slight movement to aim the presice target. Hence unstablized the aim.
After Mr KO left, I spent my whole day marking the remaining exercise books. Time went by so slowly and I almost dozed off inside the range. It was so boring and warm. Luckily the range practice ended at 6pm.
I returned the keys to the vice-principal and then to the generak office. I was told that the geography room keys I drew, one of them was lost. I got panicked and knew that the keys I drew is two and passed to Miss C two keys too. YT told me that student took one key and was told to return to general office by today.
Tonight, walter is going to fetch me to go to Richard's home to discuss our entrepeneurship project on mid April. Before that, we went to Gek Poh to buy Mcdonald Meal for dinner. Once we reached there, Richard and his family welcomed us as well as his mega collection of manga figurines. Then we discussed about the strategy to do business/project at Jurong West.
The reason why I agreed to do the project which I considered the success of it can be negative, is I want to share my experience to my students the lessons to earn money in hard way as well as instill entrepeneurship abilities to the younger generations.
Then around 11pm, we went down and have a hearty chat. I just did not like to talk about my private life for I knew it was screwed up somewhere along the journey to my old friends. I already moved on fast and looked forward to better one. I liked to bury my mistakes and past deep down and forgot about it. Nothing much to talk about.
What's left actually the lessons learnt.
We went back home at 12.30 am.
