The life of teaching

These few days have been so super tiring..Waking up at 5.40am, and getting ready for school. Initially i thought it was only observation of classes, but due to H1N1, teachers who went to those countries affected had to take Leave of Absence. As a result, there was shortage of teachers and i had to do relief for POA and bio up to yesterday, but no teaching was required on my part. It was really quite an experience handling those normal classes. At times, i was emotionally affected by what the students did to me. At times, i felt happy that i could manage the class and the students were well behaved and greeted me as i walked around the school. The sec 1 students were really cute.

Yesterday i started my observation for my math classes..Two days before i was told to design a math game on angles for a normal tech class..Took great pains to come up with questions for the game. When i stepped into class, i was quite shocked by how daring the students were and how they talked back..After going through a summary of the concepts by the teacher, i started to conduct the game. Throughout the game, i was shouting at them bcos they were so hard to control..and we even had to use a mike sometimes. It was really quite an experience.

After school, although its only 2pm..i already feel super tired out..I can just doze off after i get home..and if i didn't set my alarm..i think i will only wake up the next morning.. Thats how tiring it is..

New stuff in my room

I recently got a 26 inch LCD Samsung Monitor and new Altec Lansing speakers together with my Wii that i got as my birthday present. Haha..im definitely not insane about all this technology stuff but through this post i want to take the oppurtunity to thank Kelvin for helping me with all his advice and setting everything up. It wasn't easy and i definitely wouldn't have been able to do it by myself!

(Wii is absent from the picture, cos i lent it to my friend. Yoshi is waiting for its return! Lol..The silver mio box allows me to watch mio TV and normal TV channels)

(subwoofer-> an extension of the 2 speakers above for better sound quality)

Haha, this is my graduation present for myself.. I feel that this is the hardest time i've ever worked in order to rush my modules to graduate on time and resume duty in NIE in June. With special sem to clear my last core module, i couldn't go for a grad trip in May or June. No matter what has happened, I'm really glad how everything has turned out. Just hoping that the career i have chosen to take suits me and i will be able to adapt to hall life when i'm a trainee. I feel like i'm moving to another phase of my life~ lol..

Pri Sch gathering!

Last week i went for my pri sch gathering with Kelvin. Was supposed to do some painting as volunteer work in the morning till evening but i came down with stomach flu the day before. Instead of assembling at Kovan at 830 for the volunteer work, i went to the clinic and was the first patient to arrive that day. After that, i went home to rest and picked Sally up at 7+pm. After that, we made our way to our pri sch teacher's house(Mrs Tan) at a condo in East Coast.

Had a great time there..although we were late and didnt spend much time there. Haha finally saw Mrs Tan's kids as well. They were really cute. Joel is already 9 while Jannalyn is 6 years old. The last time i saw them, Joel was only 5 and Jannalyn was only 2 years old. Haha but somehow had more impression of Joel, cos we gathered at Mrs Tan's house when he was born and when they moved to their new house at Serangoon North when Joel was around 1 years old.

We attempted to take a class photo, with our standing postion as similar as possible to the class photo we took in pri 6. It was really humourous and we got quite excited. In the 2nd photo, Mrs Tan is 'strangling' Ritchie bcos during our candid photo in pri 6, Ritchie was being 'strangled' by Mrs Tan and some of us and he raised his hand and blocked Mrs Tan's face!!

Then we had a 'yum seh' ceremony and thanked the organisers and Mrs Tan for hosting us.

After that, we celebrated Mrs Tan's birthday for her. Sandra and Lynn baked a chocolate cake for her. Haha it tasted good!

Lol Kelvin was very nice that day and helped us take alot of photos. He also chatted with my other classmates. Mrs Tan and classmates thought that he was very helpful. Lol..My classmate even reminded me to tag him in the photos! I really want to thank him for fetching me and my friends there and back, joining us and helping out during the class gathering. He has added five stars in my heart!

Our First year anniversary

Our 1 year anniversary
Well, this is our most happiest anniversary celebration. It marks the significance of our one year relationship. First, I drop by Julia's house, tricking her that we will be going down to Jurong Point to celebrate our anniversary there. Actually, I knew she wanted to eat buffet very much, and she is very keen to try the buffet in Yuki no Yaki (a high class and better quality version of Seoul Garden restaurant located in Marina Square), so I decided that is the best place for our anniversary celebration. I was afraid that the restaurant becomes fully packed. Luckily it is not.:)



We have our cooking session there. We spent 3 hours there eating (to maximize our value)! The food taste good and my sweet heart loves it.The most unique thing about the restaurant is that you can make your own ice cream. The process is not easy, but its fun. Feeling very happy, my sweet heart bought for me a pair of crocs slipper. It is light and comfortable. In fact, I prefer this set of slippers to my nike on! We feel so full that we managed to skip our dinner. We have our dessert in gelaire as their waffles are simply delicious. Well, the time spent may be short, but its definitely the most memorable moments we spent together.

Today is our 1st Year Anniversary!

Look out for surprise! SMS me for more details dear...

Sentosa chalet

Hmm spent one night at Sentosa Chalet from Thurs to Fri..

The experience there was bad. The room was small, and there was nothing much to do there..

Because there was nothing much to do there, we took the monorail back to Vivo city for dinner and to walk around on the first night. I gave the wrong suggestion to eat at Food Republic. I thought it was a more budget option, but somehow the prices were overrated.

On the 2nd day, the bathroom door toppled down. I was quite shocked. Our mood was somehow spoilt during the whole trip cos the semester results were going to be released on Fri, and Kelvin was quite worried. As for me, i didn't seem to bother so much about it. Haha..

Here are some pics we took. Kelvin forgot to bring his camera, so we had to use my phone. But good thing is that the pictures still look clear..

A special Edition Blogging

I remember on the 6th May 2009, is the day I looking forward the most for the semester. The day where I can fulfill my plan, to get my dear her most wanted present. I have to control my urge to buy her the present because I wanted her to concentrate on her studies first. The ultimate present: Nintendo Wii!

Although it is quite tiring that day after exam, but I'm still excited to get the Wii for her. I drop by together with my friends to Qishan at Far east shopping centre to buy Wii together. Actually Julia wanted to me for lunch, but I tricked her telling her I'm in Great World city signing contract for internship so that I have enough time to get her the Wii set. I did have a clue that she expect me to bought a Wii set during her birthday, but I'm sure she will never expect me to give her so early right after exam. LOL...

Using Lester's picture since I didn't get the chance to take picture.






My next step is to trick Julia to meet me some where in Woodlands so I could get for her some Wii games. At first she is quite mad at me because I keep on changing on our meeting location. Didn't want to tell her where to meet because I wanted to give her a surprise. When she first saw me, she is quite mad, but after she saw the Wii, she become very shock and touched.

We even met her friends in Causeway Point and she told them about it. LOL... Feeling so happy, she decided to treat me Pizza Hut! We ordered 2 special set of Pizza student meal. She wanted to treat me the couple pizza set, but I suggested to get a student meal instead since its the last few times where we can use student priviledges. LOL...However, I feel little regrets because the student meal is not nice at all. Following that, we leave each other as both of us go off to teach tuition. To be honest, the whole day is damn tiring. Couldn't sleep well the night before and have to shop around the whole day plus night tuition. It is definitely a tiring day, but it is definitely worth it, since I saw the expression on her face the moment I give her the present. LOL...
