Tiring...

It's been a busy n tiring wkend, not to mention e working days oso. Hubby's reservist finally ended on fri, so after tt we've been trying to settle our house stuff over e wkends. Slowly bringing my things over to our new place so as not to make moving too tough at e end of e yr. Got tons of things.... Hopefully i'll haf enough space to store all my stuff =)

Today another tiring day oso... Went to Ikea to shop ard for furnitures to store things but couldn't find anything suitable. Maybe when their new stock arrives then we'll b able to find something useful. Went w my hubby n his gd fren who juz came back from switzerland to surprise us =) been a long time since we last saw him le. Reached back sg yest n straight away came over to my hubby's place. Anyway, then ate at Ikea's there n went back to hubby's home to chit-chat. Late afternoon we made our way to our new house again, this time to assemble shelves given to us by someone. Realise a lot of ppl haf to much money till they dunno where to spend. See something n then buy on impluse. After tt realise they dun like it, so they give those things away. Hmmm, not tt i'm complaining cuz i'm e one getting e free stuffs. Haha ^.^ Well, there were 2 shelves, but 1 seems to be spoilt as we can't really assemble it to fit, and e other seems unstable after completing the assembling. Well juz pray tt it doesn't topple over when we put our things on it ltr.

It was quite late b4 we went 4 dinner at e coffee shop near our place. Then i sent my hubby home b4 gg home myself. Super tired n work not completed yet... Guess i'll haf to rush them tml le... n e bball fixtures... wonder when it'll b sent to mi. I need to book bus!!! haiz.. Well till next time.

P/S: Grats to e C girls for being e champs of North Zone =)

Back from OLE 2

Been gone from tis blog 4 quite some time le... juz came back from Sec 2 OLE yest. it was an enjoyable 4 days 3 nites camp (although i stayed over for 2 of e nites only). was put in charge of 2E3 & i muz say they r really a fun class =) at 1st some of e students were quite 'off', but they slowly warmed up n became enthu abt things ^.^ glad to c them enjoying e various activities during e camp too!

On e 1st day, I wasn't ard e class much as I was unpacking my things n resting a bit. 2nd & 3rd day was much more happening as there were more activities being done. On e 2nd day, e class was taught n told to build a raft using ropes n poles (???) n barrels. was quite tough i think but they managed to build one. it was a pity e trainers said e knots were too loose 4 e raft to b used on sea. at least e students managed to go rafting (on manufactured rafts ^.^) then it was lunch followed by kayaking 4 them. did not join them as there has to b some teachers being beach masters to watch out 4 anything tt might b happening in e sea.

3rd day, e students did abseiling, flying fox, rock-climbing & CRC (challenge road course -- think so). tried all e things e students did =) was v fun, esp since it was e 1st time i did all these things. can b quite scary too, but i tried not to look down when i'm doing e things so as not to scare myself. haha.... quite contradictory cuz i keep telling e students not to b scared but when it came to mi, i did feel scared too... anyway, i hope e students enjoyed these activities as much as i did too =) then at nite it was e campfire. so proud tt 2E3 cheered a lot & gave their best effort 4 e class performance ^.^ quite sad at e end as it signifies e end of e camp (almost)...

overall, i really enjoyed myself at e camp w e students (even though i did not teach them at all). glad i was able to interact w them since i only got to know them e day b4 their camp ^.^ now it's e hols 4 all e students so hope they make gd use of tis time to rest n catch up on their weaker subjects =) tt's all 4 now. will try to update more often during e hols. nitez guys...

Into e 2nd mth of e yr n my form class is getting v familiar w each other already. it's gd to know tt most of them r able to get along well w e rest of e class.. some r v v quiet though... sometimes i wonder wat they're thinking abt.. so today i asked e class to start writing a journal whereby they can express their feelings n anything they wan in it. hopefully thru tis, i can get to understand them better... really hope they r able to fit in comfortably... wonder how they feel abt mi n my teaching oso... sometimes might b a bit too harsh on them?? hope they realise i'm juz trying to help them do better...

In sch, always seeing my ex-students (those i taught last yr) ard =) glad to c tt all of u r doing ok.. sometimes when u all greet mi n i dun rply, it's cuz i din hear/see, not tt i purposely wanna ignore u all ok? hee, i old le, so eyesight n hearing deteriorate le, haha... u all sec 3 le, muz work even harder than last yr le k? although o lvls not tis yr, but if ur basics in sec 3 is gd, then u wun haf to suffer so much when it comes to sec 4 =)

One last note, Valentine's Day is coming!!!! sadly, i haf no special plans tt day.. haha... guess u all will haf more things planned out ^.^ hope u all enjoy tt special day for couples (but studies still come 1st =P) n oso e upcoming Chinese New Year. hope all of u get lotsa ang baos =)

busy busy hols..

mi back to blog again =) now hols so might haf more time to blog more often. well e past wk has been busy for mi. had invigilation plus lotsa other stuff. anyway, 1st i wanna thank all those who tagged mi telling mi abt their comments n all. really appreciate wat u all haf done =) i hope i will cont to do better n not let u all b disappointed w mi..

ok, let's see. mon was super busy for mi cuz i had invigilation in e morning. then when i reached home, my bf asked mi to rush down to hdb to queue for e walk-in selection flats tt they juz released since he working n can't get away. so no choice, took bus then train down. on train, abt to reach stop, got one old lady dunno y start spitting at mi n scolding mi. e whole trip she was ok n we were standing at opp ends near e door n i was listening to my mp3 n reading book. dunno wat i did to offend her oso. but i juz got down once e door open la. then went to queue for e application form. told tt i had to hand in e form by 5pm tt day if not e queue no. i got will b invalid. n i had to get my bf's signature. so rush cab to his office n then back to hdb. then rush down to my form class's gathering at sembawang park. reached there quite late but my students were not unhappy or anything. i'm glad i managed to make it cuz i enjoyed myself there playing w e students =) then after tt had dinner w them at sun plaza food court b4 gg home (but after i bought earrings ^.^)

then come tues, supposed to haf invigilation, but asked to change since i promised my students from 2e4 to help them check in their chalet. reached at ard 3 then checked in for them n then waited. e chalet is super big n nice. wish i had booked for myself. haha. anyway my students were late n i had appt w my fren already, so started walking out w my bf. then they reached le so decided to meet halfway along e route to pass them e keys n all. tt nite supposed to go for their bbq but couldn't make it. really sry abt it but hope u all enjoyed urselves during ur chalet =)

wed invigilation again then nth much happen. lol.. thurs oso nth much except tidy my things n finish watching e anime tt my fren lent mi so i could return her ltr today. then tis morn went back sch to discuss maths stuff w 2 other teachers. still quite ok cuz din take too long =) supposed to haf invigilation at 2.30pm but my cpe changed mine to next fri. so heng..

well tt's abt my whole wk's activities. quite boring actually except for e start of e wk. ahhaah.. ok gg to play a bit le then go out meet my fren. till next time =) n enjoy ur hols =)

personal comments..

e hols r here already.. well, nth much to do today so decided to come online n read comments n update.. was quite shocked at e comment i c on my tag board... well, i dun c y i can't post my own feelings on my own blog. not as if i go n frame anybody... if i dun bother abt my students i wouldn't even b concerned abt how well they do for their exams. when i comment abt their work n how they've done n wat i've done, it doesn't mean tt i dun appreaciate them. i dun c where in my posts u get e idea.. if u're one of my students, then i'm sry if i ever gave u tt feeling tt i dun appreaciate u. maybe i couldn't teach u as well as u would haf wanted mi to or as well as other teachers... regarding track, i nvr said tt i hate tt cca or anything. it's juz not e sport for mi.. i juz prefer to b in a cca which i haf more interest in.

well... sry if i'm ranting... those who r not happy w mi, tell it straight to mi n i'll try to change. sry if i offend anybody...
