blogger's gone nuts... so here i am trying to retype all of my earlier posts.... yeah... confirmed lost my file. haiz... tt's the 3rd time in a row... oh well, here goes =) had a really great day yesterday doing retail theraphy... went down to queensway shopping centre to purchase some "formal" looking clothes and ended up spending like $270++ *does quick maths* thats like 4days worth of relief teacher!! and i've only done 3 days of it.. haha.. anyway was quite enjoyable, bought a nice silky long sleeve shirt, a black pants, a new belt, a pair of leather shoes and another pair of casual nike shoes. i must admit.. retail theraphy is soothing for the mind, but stressful for the wallet... BUY ON!!! 1st day of actual teaching. surprisingly, was abt to get this lazy lump of fat called ghimz to wake up at 6am n get to school by 7pm, with totally no help from anybody :P managed to get to school dry and sweatless too haha... the kids were superb, at least for the 2 classes that i'm teaching maths: 2F n 2H. hopefully gave them a good impression. haha was talking n joking with them for the first 20 mins, then got down to briefly introducing to them Graphs, Coordinate plane and some basics of Graphs. must say that they were very attentive. but jus in case, think i'll try to find ways to lighten up the mood n keep their attention wif me next week. oh yea, the kids kept insisting that i call them "children" and not other stuff like "ladies n gentlemen, boys n girls etc etc" haha, really makes me feel old sia, calling kids jus 7yrs older than me children... but truth is, they ARE children... hmm... no 2 ways abt it. there's something magical abt being their teachers, dunno wad it is, but there's this immense (learnt it from shiwei) sense of satisfaction when they greet you, chat wif you and all, even when school has ended. even if they can't remember your name, or maybe its jus that they prefer to call you "cher~!" (short for TEAcher) hmmm... haha not to mention all the cute little boys n girls. (nope, no paedophiles here) i guess i jus like kids. =) hmmm oh well, next wk gonna be the real thing, prepared my lesson plans n my assignemtn for them already, haha looking forward to sch next week (!!?!!) ghimz out.
