A Terrible Day

Don't really know wats happening to me..
Yesterday suddenly feel so down and after tat it just went haywire.. Body system shut down, feel so depressed and got a terrible headache...
As expected woke up today feeling damn sick... No high fever just feel like vomitting..
Took wat ever medicines that I had and went back to sleep....

Then in the evening left hall for home to get Bong's badminton to pass it to him... Worst, got caught in the rain!! TMD...
Then rushed down to meet Jess for dinner which is my first meal of the day...
And to tink I had Laksa!!!! Really asking for it..
Went down to Enid's art exhibition at Little India and met up with some of the other ODAC frens over there...

The nite got worst for me as I felt faint and after a while I just couldnt stand anymore...
Excused myself and went back to hall... Sighhh
Vomitted out wat ever is left in my stomach and here right now on my bed tinking yah great...
My sucky life is back to haunt me once again...
Tat feeling I had was last year and I tot ok.. No more sucky feeling and it will just go away...
But NO! It came back... and great just when I am about to finish my studies...

But my frens, dont need to worri about me... I can handle everything.. Its just like a normal routine for me after a while.
But one thing is clear, if I can trade my life with someone who needs it more than I do.. I am willing to trade... Oh God.. I had enuff.. Take me away?

A Will to Live....

Hey,

Don't know if you guys read about Shufang's case.. The one where there's an article on her contracting cancer appearing in the Sunday Times.. It's really really brave of her and she is right now surviving and battling the cancer disease. Really hats off to her..

As for me, I don't tink I have the will in me to fight the battle. I would just succumb to it and call it a day. Which comes to my mind... I dont really have a make-over photo in case I pass away one of these days.. Guess I should have one really nice photo for the obituary section just in case to stand by. Hmmmm....

Its Election Time...

6th of May... That will be my 1st time I am casting my vote in the Election 06.
I have been keeping up with the political news and all on the newspaper. Not that I am really into politics but just wanna know the views and take of the different MPs-wannabe in the upcoming elections..
The last Election in 2001, I was still in the force.. I remembered clearly being deployed for duties.. After the night shift, we had maybe around 4hrs of sleep before reporting back to the station for the duties... It was hectic and tiring.. I dont miss those times.. Hahaha

Back to this Election 06. Oh yah, I am writing this based on my own personal views.. Cause there is this ruling about bloggers preventing them from campaigning for either parties on the net.. So let me state this clearly: I am neither pro PAP nor the Opposition. My vote is secret! Hahaha
So you wont be seeing me siding with either one over here.. Lest I want people to knock on my door asking for my particulars and all.. Hahaha..

I was reading the NewPaper just now and was really intrugue by Ng Tze Yong take: Shouldn't you champion underdogs only when they are worthy of support? Interesting question which he posed to the Opposition Members... Its quite ironic I should say some of the replies...
One of them:
Quote:"I do not believe in sympathy votes But I believe that the opposition can use the sympathy of the people to win votes" Unquote..
Huh?
I let you to ponder on that....

Anyway, because of this Election thingy, the pengarang cycling trip that Elvin was supposed to organised might have to be pushed back to a later date.. Sigh...
But for now, election fevers heating up...

I have never go out with my wife XJ on a date before... Hahaha
Then the opportunity came on Fri cause we have to source for Huimin's Bday present.
But then again it cannot be counted as a date!! Nevertheless here's what happen..

Apparently, we walked and walked the whole of Singapore literally the whole day.. We covered Raffles City, Citylink, Milinea Walk, Suntec City, Wisma, Taka, Paragon, Heeren... Hahaha
We bought Huimin's jackat at Suntec City but actually wanted to buy another design where XJ saw it at Citylink. However the last piece was taken away by some Ah Lians at the store...
I guess both of us were damn shacked out lah on our way back..

XJ alreadi shack out!!! Nike Sale... Nothing spectacular


While XJ was paying for card... Feeling bored I scribble something!!


Finally.. I can have my Dinner...

End of Practicum II

13th April, Thurs marks the last day of my practicum.... In a way it signal the end of me being a trainee teacher.. No more honeymoon period. It's time to face the real world once again. Back to being full time worker..

I for once feel that I had won a superstar contest. Everyone coming up to me to take my photo, shake my hand, ask for signature, emails, etc.... Even those classes that I did not teach, pupils that I do not know... The teachers were telling me all their pupils wanna take photo with me.. So they said: "Can you please station yourself outside from 1-3pm just so that you do not disappoint them".
Sighh.. If only they put in such effort in their studies...

The biggest surprise was definitely from my two classes.. P5 gave me a collage of cards which they compiled while P4 gave me a collection of letters and messages.. I will treasure both set of cards.. Truly truly sweet of them.. I had tears coming down my cheeks when I read what they wrote down for me.. Now I know... It's great being a teacher. Serious.. That little little thing you did for them... They remember for life.. Those scoldings, those punishment you gave them... They know its for their own good.. and yet they do not blame you instead thk you for guiding them..

According to my SCM, I might have a high chance of coming back... And that includes some of the other trainees as well...
I dont know..
I shall c come this May my posting..
Anywhere will do lah...

A tinge of sadness....

Time really flies... Before I know what had hit me, 8 weeks gone just like tat.. This time round I really dont want my practicum to end. I wanna teach teach and teach... (A good sign right?) My P4 boys and girls have really made me discover the joy of teaching.

This week reality sets in when I broke the news to them that this will really be my final week with them. Even worst my last day on Thurs, I won't even have any teaching periods with them. Today, the pupils were crowding around me clamouring for my attention. One of the gals were seen crying... Oh gosh.. They dont want 2molo to come..
I have receive their emails of encouraging words and their tots and truth be told I shed a few tears of sadness as well as happiness knowing that I have wat it takes to be a Teacher. ..

I can't imagine what will happen 2molo... I don't wanna face them.. I know they have something up their sleeve (They are lousy at being discreet).. I hope to be able to put on a brave front in front of them 2molo...

E-Learning For Pupils

This week I attended an E-Learning course... I am the only trainee who attended it... The new service provided by this E-Learning thing is way way cool man.. Its just like NTU/NIE Portal where pupils can accessed learning thru online.. Teachers can release the notes and tutorials thru the portal and theres the usual discussion board, forum, etc... They have all the stuff there.. You name it.. They have it.. And all the teachers resource can be found online too!!!
Hahaha...
I made a trial e-lesson learning just now and the response was very positive.. But the downside is that pupils must have a computer and internet at home to be able to subscribe to the service if not they have to just use it in school...

My name is now in the school database and recognise as one of the teachers from the school and theres an account set up for me.. Hmmmm...

And yah... I turned down the chance for a moderator to come down... Hahaha.. Told my CT I will pass the offer.. Cause more work..
Imagine when they flip my file when they come over... Nil.. Zero... Nothing... Hahaha.. Yup.. I dont really filed my lesson plans and stuff and it has been tat way since last year..
As long as my CTs and pupils feel that I am up to it to be a teacher.. Tat's all matter...
I just want to be a GTA - Great Teacher Addy

Wild Wild Saturday and Boring Boring Sunday

Wild Wild Wet
Just when I tot I can wake up late for once on a lazy Satuday morning, I remembered Central Police is having their family day there and I promised to go down...
So once again, I was alreadi up @ 730am getting readi to go down to Wild Wild Wet.. Argghhhh
Saw some old colleagues there and of course a whole lot of new faces... The newer generations taking over liao...
If you are looking for hot police babes... Hahaha.. Forget it... There's none











Russian Dolls

After that went down to Orchard to met up with Jess for movie... Russian Dolls which is a sequel to Spanish Apartment in his search for a partner...
Not a bad movie..


Boring Boring Sunday
Again, @ 615am I tot I heard someone's mobile ringing non-stop.. and I tot I was dreaming ... Dreaming of my kids calling me asking my why I was not in school yet.... Teacher is late...
Then my mum came in: "Oi... your phone ringing lah..."
Me:"I not feeling well lah... Taking MC... Later I infd school I wanna take MC...."
Mum:"Seow ah... Today Sunday leh"
Me:"Then who ....."

It's Catherine ... My ATC Committee member asking me where I am... On my bed of course... and then I remembered I had some duty to do... which I tot I had infd them I can't make it? Hmmmm...
No choice lah... Went down and took a cab..
My duty just to make sure the vehicles don't knock down the participants while they are cycling and luckily nothing happen although there were a few close call mishap lah...
Those drivers are just impatient trying to cut the road not GIVING WAY to the cyclists..
Idiot man... Simply cannot follow rules and there are a few idiots driving in the lane that are close for the cyclist.. How dumb can you get...
If only I am still wearing that blue uniform.... You will get @$#^%&^&^ from me and a summon ticket issue on the spot...

So there you have it... Both weekends I woke up like normal timing as in weekdays... So sad :(

2 More Weeks!!!!

2 seems to be the magical number for this week...

2 more weeks to the end of this practicum...
Yah... I have 9 more teaching days to be exact..

2 observations down for this week.....
Had my Science and English Lesson observed for this week... I am alreadi so immune to observations liao.. Haha

2 more observations left for this practicum...
Hope to clear the other 2 next week so that I can start work on my last assignment to be completed while I am still in the teaching skool to carry out my assignment...

2 reports about teachers on the New Paper...
If you have been reading the papers, there were 2 reports on teachers... 1 was on teachers not having enuff rest (which I totally agree on 100%) and the other is on the performance report.. Gosh.. So many politics going on.. This is the last government place that I would think of.. This then makes me more determine to find a good working environment where there are support from teachers.. Where I am teaching right now... It's right up high on my list as being one of the best.. In fact in a recent study done (which was released to us by the P), my skool is one of the best quality valued skool as being voted by the pupils from P6... We scored above average national level as compared to other top 10 skools.. This shows that the teachers here really put in their effort and the pupils rate the teachers here as being one of the best around... I am so proud of my skool...

My table... Alreadi very neat actually.. Hahaha..
Tis is just 1 month odd of work.. Full time??
