Allright, this shall be a picture-update entry of what I've been doing these past two weeks. Do pardon me for the fact that some of the pictures weren't well taken. I tried looking for better shots of it but realized that I only took one snap of the scene. Whatever happened to my kiasu-ness in taking multiple shots of the same scene????

First up, a ( Read more... )

I'm usually alert most of the time but when my absent mindedness kicks in, I would really be absent minded.

Take just now for example, I was taking the lift to get to the floor where my house is on. There was me and two other people inside. As soon as we got inside, the other two people started to press the buttons to indicate the floor they wanted ( Read more... )

Woo hoo! It's a Friday people! A rainy, no-student, no-work Friday afternoon to be precise and what am I doing? Counting down the minutes till 1:45pm when I'll be going off for a course! Sheesh! Why oh why doesn't my course fall on a day when I'm teaching? Major waste of opportunity to escape work! Eh, it's not that I'm purposely being ( Read more... )

I'd recently stumbled upon a cover of "Umbrella" done by Mandy Moore and I must say, I preferred this version of the song heaps better than the original one done by Rihanna. Even though it's the same song, Mandy sings it with much more emotion till the whole meaning of the song somehow came across differently.

Anyway, do take a listen to the song. ( Read more... )

Today, I was hurt by the words uttered by one of my students. Maybe it's cos I'm pmsing and that's why I'm extra sensitive. Or perhaps it's cos when he uttered those words, I couldn't help but feel extreme pity towards him for behaving the way he did. Either way, I was definitely hurt by my student's words.

Oh well. I guess that when you're in this ( Read more... )

Why is it that some students can be really plain stupid at times? I conducted a remedial session with one of my Geography classes as I wanted to cover more things about the exam. Heck, whatever it is that I'm covering will be coming out for their exams! Were the kids even interested?? NOOOOPE!!!

Some of them left. For those who attended it, there ( Read more... )

I'm just done updating the T's record book and OH-MY-GOODNESS! I still have a few things (that's putting it mildly by the way) to get done.

Darn. I'm so worried for my Geog students. Unless I conduct remedials, I'm not going to have time for revision with them...but WHERE AND WHEN THE HECK DO I SQUEEZE IN REMEDIALS FOR THEM?!?!?!?? Arrrrrrgh!!!!!

Ever had the feeling where you want to be anywhere else except where you are at the moment? Well, I'm experiencing EXACTLY that!

The holiday is going to end soon. I still have some unfinished work lying around at home AND at work. I'm facing the prospect of having more work coming in next week.

Heck, GET ME OUT OF HERE SOMEBODY!!!

Allright, my ( Read more... )

At the end of the day, I realized one thing. It doesn't matter whether my students gave me presents/cards on Teachers' Day or not. Or even how many presents/cards I received from them.

What matters most is whether my students' have taken away something from me.

I realized this as I was looking through all the cards and presents I received just now. ( Read more... )

What a week indeed!

I had a student telling me he hates me and doesn't want to be in my class.

I lost a temper with the said student and shouted at him to get out of the class. Now, this would have been allright. However, one of my colleagues saw and heard me as he was standing just outside my class! Argh! I must've came across as undignified. How ( Read more... )
