Just a thought that i was thinking about awhile ago, now that i got so much time in my hands doing nothing in the staff room, my mind has been thinking abit.

i thought of something strange.

You know, when your eyes wander and you lock on and look at somebody, and the person just looks back at you. kinda makes you wonder if that is staring. haha, random stuff.

LOL

this is abit late, but its really funny. teaching is hilariously funny.
So, i finally got to teach a whole lesson although, i wasnt really anticipating it whatsoever, would rather slack my way through this term but then again, no choice.

My teacher mentor for this class is perhaps, the prettiest and youngest female teacher in school, but she's really really thin, her legs like twigs. ANYWAY, haha. its funny how out of class she's so sweet and demure, but in class she's really fierce, even i also scared of her. i keep telling the front row students that their teacher very scary. haha.

So, she kindly gave me a lesson to teach for sec 1 physics on measurement of length, and think its probably the hardest thing i'll ever teach in my life. because, these little kids come from primary school, where in their puny little world would they have seen a vernier calipers or a micrometer screwgauge. NO WAY! and i gotta teach them to intepret the readings. i think i went through the whole process of looking at the vernier calipers at least 5 times, and in between i think i gave a really "AHHHHH" look to the kids.

Lol, but i enjoy messing with their minds like what the teachers were discussing this morning over breakfast, this funny woman was telling me that the most important thing in teaching is to mess with the students minds until they dunno what to expect from you. hahaha, i think i tried well for a beginner yesterday.

Scenario one: Asked some question about vernier calipers, then this boy read off his worksheet. then i was like eh dun cheat ah you, look at your worksheet, haha. then i think he was genuinely scared for a few moments. lol. funny stuff

Scenario two: I gave a enigmatic smile and said "class, today your teacher gonna give you a chinese new year present(: then, they were like yayyay. " there's a quiz next thursday!! woo!" then, they were like ahhhh, chinese new year still must study for quiz, whinewhinewhine. Then, their teacher, the really fierce teacher, was like " you all got a problem? go sort it out youself." or something like that. i was like woah.. there i was chilling with the kids, then their teacher so fierce. while she was scolding some kids for not handing in their homework i continued to say, " there's a part two to your CNY present(: more homework(: lol, fun stuff.

You know in the movies, when the soldiers were sent out to the battlefield or something, they had to write like a letter to their family and put them in their pockets in case they died. haha, i think this is my letter too.Coz in about less than an hour, i've got to enter the gates of hell, or to put it less devilishly, the doors of 3-3 class.. to relief a whole class of malay normal academic students for mother tongue, omg. and they gave me a whole stack of malay notes to give them.. wonder if they would really do it. pray to God to save me!!

In school

Today's probably the longest day i would have in a week. and even that only entails 3 periods a day! woo. i think tmr i can read my book and surf the internet and whatnots almost the whole day. and maybe prepare abit of my teaching. (:

So, next week will be more exciting and nerve-wrecking as i will need to teach little sec 1 kids how to use the vernier calipers and micrometer screw gauge.. zero errors and all.

And the best thing about school is the really cheap canteen food. :P

New year too late

Laziness and procrastination attacked me, and i'm a little too late in posting for my new year's resolutions.

Or i have like 1 in particular.

Maybe that's my only one.

It reads
"stop being fickle."

Cool. I'll wake up everyday remembering that i must not be fickle.

In all my decisions in life. Or most of you guys who would know which kinds of decisions in particular.(:
