Thank you Huiling for your little note of encouragement! i really appreciate it!!
Haha, people may say i'm over-reacting but i can only say, u will never understand the pain n hurt unless u r in my position. I have lose the courage to face myself n the people involved. i can't fight back cos i have used up my strength n courage over the 6 yrs.
I dun want to think abt it but it is easier said than done.
a word just came to mind: condemned.
On a happier note, CONGRATULATIONS to Eric,Li Ming and Anson!! Our class got 3 SCs!! Cool! Must take good care of our welfare hor, our welfare comes first!! Haha!!

People have been asking me: how's ur class? My ans to this question has also been: hardworking, no discipline problem. I guess i am really fortunate to have very good CG for my 6 yrs.
this yr, when people asked me the same question, my ans has changed. My class is naughty,fun-loving. A bit unlike the norms of Venn n boy, am i glad it is so. Though they may appear to be prim n proper before me, but the minute my back is turned, they r up to some mischief. U can just see the tinkle of mischief in their eyes :P
U will be surprised to know that the boys can never keep quiet. The only time when they do so is when they are really really tired. Though sometimes it can be quite a task to get them to quieten them down, but believe it or not, they are really darlings in their own ways.
There are sporty people, demure people, studious people, it is a mixture but i believe they will love one another and be together as a class.
i'm proud of them for getting their tasks done on time, for putting in the effort to come to school on time. My only little request is to tone down a bit on their naughtiness :P but then again, life may be boring then.
well well, we can't have the best of both worlds.
Whenever i'm down, i would think of the funny things they have done and it would light up my day. I so hope that things will stay this way, that they will always be my motivation to come to college n enjoy my day. Lately, there are just too many disappointments for me to stay +ve.

Thank you!! :)
A very big thank you to 08S05, my CG for making my day! A day full of surprises! I was real touched when i saw the cake n the card. It was beautiful cos it has the class photo!
The real surprise came when i saw the pooh under the visualizer! I thought it was the piglet on my pencil case. Later i remembered piglet could not have looked this big under the visualizer. It was only then i saw the Baby pooh! So cute n cuddly!!
I love the ring, luckily i never gobble down the cake, otherwise i would have either swallowed the ring or break my teeth! haha!
the best part was when u all sang the birthday song. U just can't seem to stop singing. N this 'disease' caught onto my other chinese class who started singing birthday song to me. n they started telling people, regardless of whether i know them or not, that it is my birthday today! so in the end, all my chinese classes knew that it is my birthday today n they started singing the song whenever they saw me. I was so paiseh, though i really appreciate the well-wishes.
I counted the number of times u all sang the song. 7 in all! Excluding the one sang over the phone :P
I can't tell u how much i really appreciate e effort n time taken in buying the gift. I can only say that i have never expected the surprises today cos i admit on a comparative basis, i have not been spending enough time with the class. This is one aspect i have failed and I really apologise for this.
Lastly, i just want to tell you that all of you have made this a very memorable birthday for me. Thank you so much!! :)

One Down
Esplanade concert is finally OVER!!!!!
i can finally focus on my own concert.rehearsal on next monday. omg!! dun know if we can really make it in time.
after rehearsal is SAS' my first concert. then band trip admin, ban concert, then a public performance in Ngee Ann City n we r off to Perth! Hectic!!!
1st, i need address some issues. Hello People! the deadline on the form is 28th mar, then it is 28th mar. No one except the teachers-in-charge of the CCA can extend this deadline.i really dun give a damn whether ur friends said 31st also can submit or not. the deadline is given 4 a reason. it is to give e various tutors involved time to think of recommendations. u want a fair assessment, u got to give us time, it's not as if we just sit there n wait 4 lessons or ur forms. Dun do things at the expense of others. I was seriously quite angry when i received such ridiculous requests yesterday when things at the rehearsal was already very hectic. I would give it to u this time but there will be NO next time. I will just put Not recommended if history chooses to repeat itself. Simply cos if u can't even adhere to simple deadlines, how can u lead the entire student body n be a role model?

One Week Down
Having seen all the classes, i think most of them are quite ok. I dun really feel much abt lessons nowadays, cos of what had happened during one of the meetings this week.
Though the responsibility is there to ensure each n everyone of them does well, the passion has died.
What is the purpose in doing so much, going all the way out to print exam papers, to look for better ways of teaching ,to prepare the work n yet at the end of the day, it's not appreciated?Getting stressed n worried when students dun do well academically when it really should be independent learning? Is it really my job to go n search for past yr papers, my duty to force students to plan their study schedule n follow up on that? To mark GP n Econs outlines, check my students' exercise books to make sure they have done all the TYS questions n seek consultation?
Then what abt my admin stuff? What abt my own CCA? What abt the welfare of all the Performing Arts in school which i'm in charge of ? N now doing the admin for SAS Band as well? What abt the committee set up just to work on the allocation of funds for trips?It's such a heavy responsibility cos it is concerning the finance of the entire school.
To me it is not the workload that makes me tired n upset. The reason y i said i'm damn irritated by students who say my timetable is slack is cos it gives the inference that i have lots of time to kill. N yet they r the ones at the receiving end of things that have be done for them. So in a sense, they do seem to be taking things for granted. As this is the general attitude of generations to come, it is fine by me. If u dun know how to say "thank u", it's ok. But just shut up n dun make so many comments.
I just dun want to go to school onw day to find out that cos of all the hurtful remarks some students make,i have lost the ability to love n care for the rest. The result of a hurtful remark is like someone driving a knife slowly into ur heart. U can't forget n never will. U may think it is fun but it's not.
