21 more days till the end of term.

as much as i whine about the the gargantuan amount of stress and headache my kids give me, (haha!) it still hurts a bit to take my leave.

5 months coming to an end.

time.
how can a single humble man
try to cup grains of sand
without it slipping?

all the best for exams yeah?
GANBATTE!

too close.

its freezing cold in the staff room. its bad enough that yazeed, hafidz and me are chucked in the ‘reject corner’, now we have to freeze our butts off as well. HAHA.

i swear if im a shade or two fairer, my nose would turn blue. muahaha.

so yesterday was IDPW presentation. my sec one E5’s had to present their ideas to Mrs Yeo and yours truly! i was sitting at the back of the CLC, beaming cause I’m being ’waited on’ with cupcakes and desserts.

me love.

have been missing on sleep for quite a bit. dont ask. i have an active social calendar. haha!

ok a bit ( ALOT) random actually, but i wanna say hello. cause some unexpected guests have been popping up and saying they read my blog and all. like a certain Mr SengYau who dropped a comment and Aisyah from my Malay class who surprised me one day in class by asking me if I’m ok with being hyperlinked from her blog. so yea.

sometimes it kinda slip that the students see me as a teacher in the school. and when i was a student, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN DIGGING DIRT OR SEARCHING FOR SKELETONS IN MY EDUCATOR’S CLOSETS. LOL. sometimes i skip around school thinking im still wearing the red uniform.

*slaps head.

anyhoos, digressing! LOL. HELLO READERS!! good day ahead.

ticking of the clock.

just minutes ago, Hakim and Faiz were badgering me to get a new watch and teasing me about the many pseudo Adidas watches available at Petaling street and the Immigration. and now i peer closer at the black strap of my Adidas, only to find a disastrous tear which means that the fate of my faithful companion is coming to an end.

ok wait. the best part is that its not even mine. HAH. its just that ive been bumming off my brother in law’s for so long, he couldnt bother himself to get it back.
bummer. now i have to get my own watch.

ok. so ive been pondering on getting this blog a tagboard. cause some of the kids have been complaining about how they are not used to leaving comments at the end of an entry,  but im not sure if wordpress is able to support the tagboard function. hmmmmmmm. wonder wonder.

 was absent on monday and tuesday. dragged my carcass out of bed at say 11am on monday morning, (after updating the school at 6 am, mind you, being the very *ehem* responsible relief teacher that i am. *ehem ehem*) seeked the general practitioner for serious help cause i was only a breath away from dying. HAHAHA. pardon the melodrama.

no lah. i was down with throat infection. first time for me. dont ask me how i got it. but getting better though. so no worries. although the antibiotic smells like cat pee. im not kidding. Mr Yazeed can swear by it.

ok gotta go. class coming right up. y’all have fun. be good and stay in school.

raimi
out.

bah.

oh no oh no oh no oh no.

its already FRIDAY! GRRRR. im having ‘holidays are over’ blues.

dear God,
bless me and my loved ones.
my students, give them hope and strength.
grant me patience.

s.f.y.

rejoice earthlings. im staying.

rough week. and i got carried away by negativity. so yea. pardon me.
staying staying. be nice.

the light at the end of the tunnel beckons near.

i think its unfair for me to say ‘I’m still deciding’ when somewhere deep in the recesses of my mind, i have already come to a decision. this is not meant for me.

and this is not escapism.

god bless.

before entering the education force, i didnt really know what to expect.

However, i do know the motivation behind my decision.
1) to see if teaching is suitable for me as a career.
2) to motivate the kids, the kids who are going to the same school as i did. to tell them that its possible to break free from mediocrity. (not that im saying my academic accomplishment were outstanding) but i want them to have faith in their very much untapped potential. it IS possible. ok, i should stop here lest i sound too Adam Khoo-ish. heh

So, it was never my intention to
1) be the favourite teacher in Zhss ( im not running for congress)
2) be the nicest teacher in school. ( curriculum in school can thus be divided as such – 30% educating, 70% disciplining)

i cannot afford to fit into the mould of an ideal teacher every kid have etched in their mind. i just cant. i can only be myself, and HOPEFULLY, everybody can settle with that. so if i happen to displease you in any way, im terribly sorry. its not in my daily itinery to go to school and affront as many Zhenghua students as possible, this i assure you.

Having said that, i think its really not fair for students to pass judgement. To tear me down just because i didnt have time to say hello along the corridors cause im busy running for my next class. To make me a villain cause i didnt call out your name in the canteen and wave hello, my face scowling cause my mind is on a nasty incident that happened in the class i took.

i am here, BEGGING for your understanding ok? HAHA.

ok moving on, another week coming to an END! hurray! weekends weekends! i love love love the weekends. i hear some BEAUTIFUL places calling out to me. heh. and im coming!!!

your can find me waiting on your doorsteps.

howdy.

what have i been up to this days? well, i formally took my FIRST malay class, secondary four normal acad. in front of MY MALAY TEACHER no less. my goodness.
HAHA! you all have no idea how it feels like talking in standard malay, conducting an hour long class with a fearsome (!!) woman sitting at the back at the class. the same woman who saw you through 4 years in secondary school.

and i spent the whole night away setting CA1 papers for secondary one. its half done, although i have to apologise prematurely, for i think the paper is a little on the tough side. -_- heh.

other than that.. i’ll leave you guys to enjoy this song by an Australian singer called Adele. her voice carries a tint of sadness even when she sings a song of hope and love. but maybe its just me. anyway, this song (I THINK) is about finding love by simply waiting. which appeals to me.

*HAHA. im supposed to embed the url here i think. but im not sure of how to do it. so you interested people should go youtube and search manually instead. search for this particular singer called Adele and the title is Daydreamer. enjoy.

Hello world!

 :D its effing 5.47 in the morning. just came back from a night out with Ekamatra mates. heh. was bumming at tanjong rhu’s waterfront. its breathtaking at night. kids, if you guys have older friends/mates with their own transport, try be a sweetheart and beg them to bring you there at night.

the whole splendour makes you think twice about the littlest beautiful places Singapore have to offer.

anyhoos, im digressing. its 5.49 now, and im all fuzzy from being groggy (!!). so what do i do on a very early Sunday morning?

set up a blog i say! heh. so… my first entry.
oh wells. good night world.
