really had fun back home...
catching up with cousins n all...

and here i am...
back to school life....
after a long 8 months break...

knowing that in uni i wont b able to know new people easily...
decided to join a lot cca so that i can make friends in uni...

i hav ccas right now...
planned to join more...
but i am a president of the css engin now...
well....
i dunno how it really happened...
was arrowed/saboed/volunteered/chosen....
its partly everything actually...
so, cant join anymore cca....

well...
ccas hav been very fun so far...
really love all the CGs....
u know...
sharing experiences n ideas n beliefs....
is fun....
especially with people of the same faith...
while knowing more bout people in the group...

hav been trying to catch up with class people too...
had lunches n dinner together...
long talking sessions too...
really enjoy those...

but then problem came....
realised that i have lots of free time....
n also lots of tutorials to do...
the problem is....
cant really put these two together...
so.........

Uni life so far - end

20 I am

hmm....
i just turn 20 a few days ago....
that means i have been living for 20 years now...
that's quite alot...
haha....

anyway...
have been in a dilemma in the recent days....
teaching has been fun and not fun....
some classes are really fun to teach....
teachers are friendly bunch of people there....
but some classes are just filled with a group of naughtly kids with no purpose in life....
they are living in their own world with their own rules....
and the work load are just not worth the pay they give me....
i am hired as a relief teacher....
meaning that i am in the frontline of reliefing duties....
but they also take me as a full time teacher...
expecting me to prepare lesson, set exam papers, go for remedials and enrichments....

So....
I want to quit at the end of april....
but that means im being irresponsible....
causing trouble for the HOD...
cos she will need to find new guy....
who will need to adept...
and take time to prepare lesson...
but its just very tiring to be going to sch everyday....
physically and mentally...
but again....
i just cant leave those kids, who are willing to learn, just like that....
so....
how....
shall decide later this week....

20 i am - end

Teaching Life

Warning!
this post will be a long one...

whoa...
long time nvr update my blog...
haha...
im currently teaching at CCSS....
not a very good sch i guess...
but im somehow feel lucky...
some of the teachers hav been telling me that there are sch with kids with worse attitude...
just cant imagine....

anyway....
teaching in CCSS hav been a very good experience...really....
got to see the other side of the education system in spore...
in the past 4 yrs i hav been in sch where we are enjoying from the system....
those kids are really the one suffering from the education system here...
feel sad for them....

u know...
while every teacher will give u hw for dunno how many per lesson...
here, u cant even expect any of them to do a single qn...
while u know tt talking back to teacher is considered rude...
here they even mock teachers in front of them,acting as if he was not there...
while i nvr even see public caning before...
here...i saw one last week...n now the VP is goin round sch everyday caning people...
while we are struggling to get our 'A's...
here they struggle to even remember how to convert cubic m to cubic cm...
while we are finding teachers after sch...goin for extra classes...
here they will already be very angry when u hold them back for 10 mins during their recess...
while u are very anxious about how many points u get to get into the JCs u want...
here they only want to know whether they pass their N or O...cos their path is straight to ITEs....
or poly for some lucky ones...
while ur teachers are struggling to explain difficult concepts to u...
here they struggle to settle the class down...
while u hav long hair n short skirt problems with ur DM...
they hav fighting n smoking problems with her...

what is this big gap for?
why do they force them to study for O or N when they are not even capable of studying...
why waste their 4 years of time...
when they will eventually end up in ITEs....

well...
nothing is perfect...
this system can differentiate...
the so so from the bad...
the good from the so so...
the better from the good...
and the best from the better...
those above will succeed...
but what will happen to those in the bottom of the chain??
their fate is sealed there...

when they dont listen to me in class...
when they dont do the work i ask them to do in class...
when they copy from their friends during tests....
i just cant scold them for that...
bcos they are forced to do all this...
if u want them to learn...
u need to inject motivation to them first...
just feel sad for them....
tts why im in a dilemma now...
tts why im mentally tired everyday....
even im only workin for like 5-6 hrs everyday...
and i dont need to prepare for lesson...

well...
i wont waste my 6 months...
good experience...

on a side note...
really enjoy my life now...
enjoy my own money...
enjoy the many free time i hav...
haha...
