Maybe

Today the school announced that Muslim students may go home early starting next week because of the fasting month. Immediately, like clockwork, the teachers anticipated the various stupendously idiotic questions and comments by the pupils. All the usual what is fasting about questions pales in comparision to these 2 kiddos.

Part One
Student YT: Teacher! So starting next week all of us go home early isit?
Teacher: *sighs* No YT, only if you've got a letter from your parents.
Student YT: So my father write you a letter, I go home early?
Teacher: No....
Student YT: So.... I get my grandfather to write letter to you lor!
Teacher: *blank stare*

Part Two
Student V: Teacher! So we can go home early lah!
Teacher: No unless you are Muslim. Are you Muslim?
Student V: ..... ..... maybe!
Teacher runs out of school gate tearing her hair out (ok ok I imagined this.)

Gosh the desperate measures of such desperate children desperately trying to go home 30 minutes earlier.

PMS

PMS alert. Keep away.

Overheard

Part 1
Teacher M: So which class do you want to go to since you do not like my class?

Pupil ponders to the detriment of Teacher M's high blood pressure condition.

Teacher M: Quick! You want to go to a guy teacher or a female teacher's class?

Pupil: Female. I want 2C's teacher. Tall tall short hair one. *cue cheeky smile*

Me: You stay away from me.

Part 2
Teacher X: Why did you hit him?

Boy A: He make me.

Teacher X: I didn't know he was your father.

Boy A looks puzzled and did not catch the 'ball'.

Teacher X: ok ok how did he make you?

Boy A: He go and step on me accidentally.

Teacher X: *groans*


Part 3
830pm at HDB carpark somewhere in S'goon. I've just finished walking to the supermarket to get bread and milk.

Man A: Oei how to stuff it in?

Man B: Just shove it it lah. Harder lah.

Man A: Cannot lah. It's too big. Too little space lah. Na bei!

Man B: Okie okie... ... Just pull the seat up and shove it in lah.

2 dimwits trying to hide a laptop under the seat w/o prospective theives discovering the find. Make so much noise

PMS

I don't know if it's PMS acting out this week. i'm exceptionally jumpy, aggressive and frustrated. Not good for my children. Try to be professional. But when faced with a kid whose homework dates back to 2 weeks ago... you tend to flip a tad too much. That poor kid was shocked. Oh man.

Some students are 'flaming' their teachers in their blogs. Thank goodness I'm teaching in a Primary where the kids do not even know how to CTRL-ALT-DELETE. Or key in their user IDs and passwords. Anyway, I do nothing but stare at them or raise my voice a tad louder. Some of the other classes I dun teach are damn afraid of me. Dunnoe why. Must be my class spreading rumours.

Most of the bloggers warned were gals. Vicious little things. Nothing better to do. No life. Stupid. Never cross a woman's path or step on her toes. Especially if she's wearing her fav. pair of boots on. On the contrary, there are some subserviant girls who never seem to be able to fight for themselves. Allowing others to bully them at will. Oei zhar bo! Wake up leh. That guy is just making use of u lah!

I'm off to work now. There's remedial lesson today. Testing of my patience again.

I miss holidays... ...

Lazy Sunday..watching clouds go by.

Woke up at 7.30am today. Wondering what to do.

Went back to sleep but was unsuccessful. Went for a run outside my house but ended up walking instead.... too bloody hot.

Came back and bathed. Had a ham sandwich and coffee. Read the papers. Lucky for the US, the hurricane wasn't as bad as the previous one. Weird gathering of all the Tan Tock Seng's descendents. Ben and Jerry's at United Square. Lucky Jie. :) I didn't know about the term 'tai ke' til today. All that reading about Jay Chou make me wanna go KTV. Erm Joe... your Jay CD is still with me.

Finished up my Potter book. Felt like crying. Can't wait for the next one. How can he die????!!! Hated all that romancing stuff. Ekks.

Went to do some work for school, marking papers and making worksheets, doing lesson plans. Thinking of where to get my Children's day presents. Any ideas anyone? A bit fed up with my kids's composition writing. Itching to go gym. Waiting for Jie's sms reply.

Feel like roaming town. But cannot. Wardrobe's bursting at its seams. Incidentally so are my clothes. Boo Hoo. :( I'm stuck at 60 kg forever (or at least for the next few years. Shall flip over if I gain weight. Stop munching you bad mouth! *pun intended*)

Steamboat dinner at Steven's place tonight. Shall burn a few calories entertaining his niece.

Tml's monday. Yet another week.

Can't wait to terrorise my kids. Muahahahahha

I love SUNDAYS. It's the nicest day of the week.

Suddenly I miss being a child again.

Your Inner Child Is Happy

You see life as simple, and simple is a very good thing.You're cheerful and upbeat, taking everything as it comes.And you decide not to worry, even when things look bad.You figure there's just so many great things to look forward to.

How Is Your Inner Child?

Tennis

Was a good session just now. Thanks to Donna for helping us book the court :)

The kids were having some mooncake festival celebration. Good to see that they are carrying authentic lanterns with candle light and not some irritating battery operated cartoon character. The condo even managed to get hold of Starbucks to sponser some mooncakes and coffee. Wah sia. Machiam like got Hall committee or something.

Feel really happy today. Met my Ven for lunch. So happy to see him. and my presents also lah hek hek hek...

Tennis was a good workout... ... though spent most of my time picking the balls up. Exercise really makes u feel good man.

Met AnalBoy for supper/dinner... take care bro! You know that you can count on me for anything! :) And that includes directing you to my house to make sure you dun Holland again. :) hee

Happy day happy times.

Bathe.

How You Are In Love

You fall in love quickly and easily. And very often. You tend to take more than give in relationships. You need your space and privacy. You don't like to be smothered. You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change. You are fickle and tend to fall out of love easily. You bounce from romance to romance.

How Are You In Love?

I'm guilty

I'm guilty of... ...

Banging the door with relish.

Using vulgarities in front of my parents.

Thinking that everyone else in this world is not worth my time anymore.

Eating nothing.

Telling lies so that people hear what they want.

Littering.

Crossing the road recklessly to see if my time is up.

Deluding myself.

Throwing away people's mail that wound up in my mailbox.

Squashing ants for fun.

Throwing away food

Wasting money on things I know I have no use for.

Playing computer games for so long that my fingers ache.

Not drink water.

Not eat breakfast.

Not wanting to be happy, happy enough to wallow in self pity.

WTF I'm not perfect.

My worst nightmare

When I wake up and see nothing
Hear nothing
Feel nothing

When I open my mouth and nothing comes out.

Then I see myself, the horrid self.
Clutching its talons shaking its claws.

Sleep please sleep
Not let the darkness keep you awake.

What other way?

How long have I stared at the endof the tunnel?
How long have I looked at that beacon of light?
How long more must I wait for the time
When you say that everything will be alright.

What a depressing sight. This has been going on for the past 3 years liao... ... When will my MRT station be ready?  

I'm actually a sad person. Not sure if it's by nature or nurture. People always describe me as friendly, lively and fun-loving. I'm not. I'm all that others describe because I need to hide what I truely feel.

Yes I agree. Clowns are the saddest people around. For there is nothing else to laugh at except themselves.

Dear frens,
something happened and i feel that all the wind in me has been knocked out. don't ask what happened, but pls bear with my nonsense for a while. i predict myself to be well...not my self for a while. i'm utterly sad and destructed. i feel that life is a joke with no punchline. that life is something god invented to entertain himself with. that we are all losers somehow. that striving to be happy is all a facade. and that i don't think i will try anymore. i'm tired. i can't carry on anymore. it's still such a long road ahead.

Things you learn watching Korean drama

• You handsome or beautiful in Korea sure to dio some terminal illness or worse,kenna lang-ga by car and lose memory.
• Irritating instrumental lovelorn theme song doesn't get out of your head.
• Man rich, gal poor.
• A nano-second translates to 30 minutes on the Korean screen. Visualise this: the male lead is on the bridge and can see and hear the female lead. The female lead kenna knocked down by evil step-sister's car. Evil step-sister had time to be stunned dio, go out of the car and bundle the female lead into the car. The male lead is a turtle ah?
• Korean directors invented the "Search until audience wanna vomit blood and die or knock the female and male leads heads together syndrome." How many times have you seen what I call the airport/train station scene. Male lead looks for female lead. Female lead oblivious to it. Male lead runs like siao and misses the female lead cos he turned his head in another direction at the evil director's call. Or that female lead decides to board the train or plane precisely when the male lead spots her.
• After watching "Heaven Stairs", I concluded there isn't DNA testing services in Korea. Why can't the bloody male lead test the memory loss girl's DNA with her dad? Idiot.
• Both have matching necklaces as ID tags. But everytime they see each other, it's hidden inside their clothes. The necklaces see the day of light only when the other necklace is not around.
• There's only 2 kinds of women - ultra idiotic but sweet and innocent female lead and the smartass born loser who uses all her wits against the sweet innocent vomit inducing female lead.
• Korean drama don't have triangle r/s. The r/s are quadrangle.
• Sweet innocent stupid thing doesn't realise the lie when the lier gets all uptight, hot and bothered.
• All Korean actresses start to look the same after a while.
• So do the Korean male actors.
• Korean mother-in-laws are indeed from Hell.
• Korean father-in-laws are dimwits.
• Incestry abound in Korea... what some hidden Fruedian agenda is it?
• Everyone with overflowing emotion and no sense of logic will looooooovvvvvvvveeeeee "Heaven Stairs" *puke* erm that includes my mum... ... who watched on VCD and now following it on TV.

Disclaimer: I do enjoy some Korean dramas. But "Heaven Stairs" just pisses me off after 2 episodes.

I'm running out of ideas.

I hate it when I run out of ideas for PE.

I know I have planned like 4 activities to fill the 1 hour lesson.

I know I took 10 minutes to transport the whole class to the hall.

I know that I have 4 activities up my sleeves to keep them happy and sweaty.

What I didn't know is how fucking SLOW time passes when it is PE and how freaking tired I get after that 60 minutes.

It's no joke man...try it.

But it's fun.

At least there is no marking. Hee :)

Your Birthdate: August 21

Being born on the 21st day of the month (3 energy) is likely to add a good bit of vitality to your life. The energy of 3 allows you bounce back rapidly from setbacks, physical or mental. There is a restlessness in your nature, but you seem to be able to portray an easygoing, "couldn't care less" attitude. You have a natural ability to express yourself in public, and you always make a very good impression. Good with words, you excel in writing, speaking, and possibly singing. You are energetic and always a good conversationalist. You have a keen imagination, but you tend to scatter your energies and become involved with too may superficial matters. Your mind is practical and rational despite this tendency to jump about. You are affectionate and loving, but very sensitive. You are subject to rapid ups and downs.

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

Sole disturbance

The tennis sessio ended pre-maturely due to a sole disturbance.

My friend's (not naming her to save her face) Nike shoe sole decided to come off. It was like gaping. It could almost talk. Piang. Told her to get a new pair.

Aiyo......... hopefully Jie's swimming suit will not have any disturbances tml.....

Teachers' Day

I took this from Kungfu Hamster. Shamelessly copied and pasted it cos' I loved it so much and would wanna share it.

Children Learn What They Live
If children live with hostility,they learn to fight.
If children live with ridicule,they learn to be shy.
If children live with tolerance,they learn to be patient.
If children live with encouragement,they learn confidence.
If children live with praise,they learn to appreciate.
If children live with fairness,they learn justice.
If children live with security,they learn faith.
If children live with approval,they learn to like themselves.
If children live with acceptance, and friendship,they learn to find love in the world.
- Dorothy Law Nolte

One Hundred Years from now
One Hundred Years from now
it will not matter what kind of car I drove,
What kind of house I lived in,
how much money was in my bank account
nor what my clothes looked like.
But the world may be a better place
because I was important
in the life of a child.

Teacher's Prayer
Lord, Please help me,
To strengthen their voices, bodies and minds,
To express their feelings and control them sometimes,
To explore what's near and venture afar,
But most important
to love who they are.

Oh no!!!!

What my TCM doc said to me....

"You are too heaty. Too much fire qi and and too little sleep"
(thought: What! I teach in the afternoon! I have enough sleep. 6 hours not enough meh?)

"You need to drink more water and eat more fruits."
(thought: Hey! I drink like 3 bottles of my Nalgene 1lt bottle everyday plus fruit juice and soup. And I eat at least 3 servings of fruits everyday. I know cos' I'm a TAF club teacher!!!)

"Okie I'm going to give you your prescription"
(thought: oh no..... no more mud water.... looks pleadingly at ma ma...ma ma shaking head with laser eyes)

"It contains ____________ (seriously dunnoe what he was talking about. And mum with zero chinese education nodded all knowingly.)"

OH NO!!!!! MUD WATER EVERY DAY!!!! DAMN IT.
