i guess i’ve had a really enjoyable time this week teaching those peeps. didn’t expect things could’ve turned out this good really. the first lesson of the week had almost got me quitting. it’s like.. the NA class.. duh. but subsequently– this is really amazing–those guys there began treating me like a big bro. pleasantly surprised! so managed to get along with them rather well in the end.
Also had an express class within my duty, 3/9! God.. it’s such a blessing to have them! like they’re the best peeps around. attentive and responsive. certainly had a great deal of fun teaching them. sadly though, i had my last day with them today.. like =X
tried to fit a crash course on expo writing for the express peeps. you know, mr tong’s stuff. that’s probably something useful that i can give them ba, i believe..
One of the most interesting events that happened was this one class i was relieving when there was a theft within the class, which involved the principal, several teachers, and all the bags and wallets and chairs and tables and whatever others turnable. so let’s review how much effort i’ve to waste for that hmm… fom the classroom to library to general office back to library and to the general office and back again to the library and finally to the classroom, again. Then again, how many relief teachers could be so fortunate to see such a spectacle like me, considering that the p said, “this will be the first and the last time in 2007 i’m doing this…” ooo…
Today has got to be the craziest day ever. had to do relief from 8-6 continuous. almost dieded. there was this class i went to relieved and the first thing they asked me was “cher you want to make fish balls?” i was like.. what? fish balls? there’s this girl in class too whom her classmates claimed was from cerebal palsy. then i almost had a fight with one of the ah bengs in class for bullying her. wow.. to think that sec 4 beng could be afraid of me..
like it or not tomorrow’s the last day already. truthfully, i feel kind of sour inside. it’s really hard to leave behind such a fulfilling job for another. can’t imagine how life would be like. monotonous? probably about that flat. and i had some students coming up to me saying “sorry cher, i always sleep in your class” and “cher you tomorrow leaving already ah? sad or not? i very sad leh… can you stay not?” and moments when students i’ve taught whose features I apparently couldn’t recognise in time would raise a hand at me from time to time… okies it’s getting a little bit emo. i wish i haven’t said my preferences!!!
anyway just found out that i was actually teaching the 2nd best class in school.. jeevan, you damn lucky bastard!
