KLOG 2-32.0: [fri] I’m actually on school holidays!-sixth week

I let out a silent Phew! subconsciously after teachers’ day celebration today. Finally I dun have to do fuzzy planning stuff and dealing with some kinda abit annoying students =P

Primary school teachers’ day was just a mess. Haha. The way the kids ate those food that they brought for teachers’ day was SO FAST such that I din get to eat the pumpkin cake, jelly and fries…wanted to let the class play ‘Concentration’ but then u know to concentrate and pay attn is the last thing they will do in school.

More gifts from students! =P Pens with variations of colour and type of ink, photo frames, mugs, piggy bank, pen holders, paper weight, glass decos, flowers, cookies, cards…Sorry I cant rmb who is who if u all din write ur names on a card/paper. Some even from classes that I have nv taught before! Hmm…

Aiya forgot to take a class pic with 5M. o.O

Counting down: 16working days left.

“…, then I beat him.”

PS: wondering what should I get for my students before I leave the school…

我还在学习当中…

不知从什么时候开始,我慢慢地在修炼一种“武功”.可惜到现在我还无法修炼成功.说起这门功夫,据我所闻,修炼完毕的人不多,但是只要达到一定的境界,延年益寿,长命百岁,世界和平,还真的不是什么大问题…

要修炼这门功夫其实蛮容易的, 第一种情况是当你看到/听到/碰到一些会让你生气的事时,把自己放进他们的鞋子里,想想看对方为什么会这样做…然后想想自己是否应该生这一次的气…就算是一个蛮不讲理的人,他所做的事也会有他的理由,又何必把气氛弄僵,搞到双方都气冲冲咧?

举例说, 你遇到一个人,他对你说了一些难听的话,然后又气呼呼地走掉了.当然,常人遇到这种情况一定会不爽. 你可以选择去把他追回来然后“回敬”他或者把气出在你遇到的另一个人身上,再不然就自己生闷气,弄得自己整天心情不好…恶性循环下,全部人都会不爽. 所以我说呐,丢自己进他的鞋子里,换换角度去看这件事,如果没必要的话,听过就像<小孩不笨2>一样:一只耳进一只耳出咯!

第二种情况是完全相反的, 在你还没有说一句话/做一件事之前,把自己再次放进他人的鞋子里…想想换成是你听到这些话后,心里会不会不舒服.然后再决定要不要说这句话/做这件事…

例子:现在已经当老师了嘛,说的每一句话都必须经过脑子的筛选…想想还未领取身份证的小学生的想法…想想自己发脾气的后果等等,自然而然,学生上课开心,我教书也快乐…

看起来很容易,可是要真正百分百地做到还真的很考功夫咧!很多世界大国的领导人都还无法掌握呢!再说,什么武功都会有走火入魔的机率…千万不要搞到自己想太多而疯掉…但说真的,如果大家都炼了这门功夫,摩擦减少了,世界当然会和平,人也会长寿些吧!

KLOG 2-26.0-31.0 counting down :17

KLOG 2-26.0-27.0: [thurs,fri] tuition. silap mata. Motivation – Fifth week

Stand-in for my colleague’s school tuition class on thurs. it feels quite cool to teach a tuition class coz the number of students is relatively 50% smaller. [altho 26 is still a larger number than then number of students in 04s08] ; told my class 5M about the ‘family meeting’ that we are gonna have everyweek. Will make it sorta like jc civics class. Half an hour for us to interact. And stories sharing. That includes rotan-ing if it’s necessary =P they seem to be quite interested haha.

Friday there was this lousy kids-cheating magic show after morning assembly. Kids are still kids. They were fascinated by the hidden flower and the un-torn newspaper plus some failure attempt I must say. Anyway. Fun is the main point.

Couldn’t teach anything during 5H science class coz half of the class weren’t in the class –Prefects have some duties to do. So it turns out we were having students-shoot-teacher-answers Q&As session. Haha. “How come we have oxygen on the Earth? How come we will become short-sighted? Is there alien? How come dead bodies are cold? How to know our blood type?” Bla bla bla. O.o

Tmr is Saturday but I need to go to sch. Got UPSR motivation camp. *yawn* tired. Picture snapping tmr!

PS: Sch hols is coming soon! So do DaVinci and Xmen3! Yehyeh I dun have to do school holiday homework…=)

KLOG 2-28-29-30-31.0 : [mon-thurs] tmr is teachers’ day celebration!

Started receiving teachers’day gifts from students. cards, pens, flower, photo frame, wooden dinosaur model…haha I got one colleague got 2 rotans for teacher’s day !!!

Just knew about my tuition pay. Altogether I have ganti-ed for 5hours of tuition this month which will give me around a 4-day-pay. Walaoei. 5hours compared to 4days. Hmmm, giving tuition is that lucrative.

Counting down: 17working days left.

PS: walao. It’s end of may already!!!

KLOG 2-23-24-25.0

KLOG 2-23.0-24.0-25.0: [Mon,Tue,Wed]: Mesyuarat. Papers. Othello.

Monday. Had STW [SuperTimeWasting]Meeting again. They were discussing about teachers’ day gift sumbangan PIBG which I think it’s better if they gave us cash. *chingching* Anyway. I’m not too sure I’ll get one anot on the 26^th [our sch teachers’ day celeb’n – all students are supposed to bring some food to the class and I expect to have junk food and junk food for my class ;) ]

Tuesday. Cont invigilating exam. Yes they were still having exam and I counted altogether a primary 5 student needs to sit for 16papers!!!! O.o walao-A. Kids now are really cham summore this kinda system reduces interaction time with teachers! All we can do is rush rush rush then mark mark mark then scold scold scold. Haiz. Gave out papers to students. Didn’t manage to conduct the exam-paper-explanation lesson as expected. Bleah.

Wednesday. Gave out more papers. More teachers went on course. More relief periods that cut off my free periods. -_- let’s count! I have entered 1M 1H 1B 2M 3M 3K 3H 4H 4K 5M 5K 5H out of 19classes in my sch. Stayed back after sch and students were having CCAs- sports and games and performing arts. Saw choir using karaoke vcd to practice. Dance group doing Dachangjin dance. Basketball team using netball goalpost to score. Ping pong team with their orange balls flying around. And … chess club! Wanted to join they all but then no Othello mayb next time I bring one set there hor?

--I prefer these to uniformed groups CCA!!!

PS: Diagonal opening. Perpendicular opening. HorizontalParallel opening. Wedging. Stoner’s trap. How much do you know about Othello aka Reversi? =P

乱乱想(上)

为人师表后,我很少会有乱乱想的时候. 老师嘛,不管怎样言行举止都会不经意地影响学生.所以要时时刻刻注意.当了一个多月的老师, 我也便得迟钝一点点了[讲话之前要三思嘛!] 可是,我现在不得不乱乱想了!想大学的事…想以后的事…想想想

突然之间很想回到初院的日子,什么宿舍啦,艾森玻璃[assembly]啦,特别纸[S-paper]啦,死死A啦…哇突然很念旧喔! 也只可以想想而已.明知道不可能会和从前一样了, 但潜意识还是会骗自己 ‘唉呀, 差不多啦! 旧地重游嘛!’.感觉上我有点 ‘电子鸵鸟’. 把头埋进网络里读自己和别人的部落格.

半年已被我给幌过去了,剩下的两个月还真的搞不懂自己会怎样 ‘屎拉克’ [slack] 过去.两只脚就快合起来成为懒虫尾巴了…很多之前说要做到的通通还没兑现…接下来的两个月应该会尽量努力发奋炮制浓缩版的成果吧! 干爸爹[Gambate]!

一些东西,不搏一搏,怎么知道不可以?

一些回忆,不想一想,怎么不会忘记?

一些事情,等一下后,怎么还会记得去做?

一些炮,从马的后面放,是会炸伤马儿的…

2M 2M!!

KLOG 2-17.0-22.0

KLOG 2-17.0: Bye bye 2M 4K! Hello 1M 3M 5H! Bye and Hello 5H!

Super effective today. Almost finish 5M’s Chinese oral test altho I only went into the class for 1 period today. [There are teachers used one week to finish it you know!] Then managed to wrap up mathematics topics [Subtraction and Multiplication for 2M, Fraction and Decimals for 4K] plus KuoXie Juzi (Sentence constructing in ascending length [?]) plus one kefahaman plus plus plus took photos of 2M!!! Haha will post the pictures later later. And it’ll be such a great momento for both myself and 2M. Imagine 10years later they found this blog and saw their pics here! ;)

PS: 1M 2M 3M 4K 5M 5H = one-third of the student population in my school. Wow. Tao Li Man Tian Xia [Peach and plum around the world (??) –chinese idiom =have a lot of students.] huh?

Joke of the day:

Q: Blue knives and blue guns – a Chinese idiom

A: Dao Qiang Bu Ru [Blue] – literary means knives and guns cant pierce through. Lame;)

KLOG 2-18.0: Fourth week

Walao. I have been teaching for one month le. So damn fast lah.

Anyway. Today[Friday] was busy. And abit busier than normal school days. Teaching 4 classes = 6 periods of lesson + continue with oral test plus recorder test plus plus filling students’ particulars for their report cards.

Let’s talk about my old and new classes.

1M: new. The most obedient class in the school apparently. Dun even need to raise your voice to get their attn. Teaching them Science (Eng).

2M: old. My previous ‘civics class’. Haha they will look at me and smile/wave when they pass by the classes that I’m teaching. Taught them Chinese, Math (Eng) and Music.

3M: new. 3 pupils are my neighbours’ children. Haha. Abit stressful LOL. Another noisy class like 2M. O.o Teaching them Science (Chi).

4K: old. I din get to recognize everyone of them in the class coz I have only seen them for 4hours in the last 4weeks. Taught them Math (Eng).

5M: new. My current civics class. There is a half from a twin. A younger brother of my ex-classmate. Three orang Ibans. Some PBSM members and lotsa talkative 11-year-old kids. Teaching them Chinese and Music.

5H: old/new. Problematic class but yet I enjoy teaching them. Taught them BM and now teaching them Science.

PS: Kinda enjoy teaching science coz it’s not so textbook-related. Can crap lotsa stuff to the students and do experiments! But I’m trying to recall all those Chinese scientific terms. O.o

BLOG

Hey look! it’s a blog post! Not a Klog!

-_-

Ohkay. Got both snail mail and email from NTU and NUS le.

Hmmm. Really dunno how to choose. Shall find time to do Cost-Benefit Analysis [Walao. It’s ECONS! Ello. Long time no see.]

***

Next up, we have Thomas Cup. Was following the matched thru sinchew and watching ‘live’ matches if there’s any on rtm [sobsob.i got no astro]. Got the sudden urge to play badminton but I didn’t hide myself in a cardbox like what Snake did. I turned on my laptop and started playing pingpong flash game which is similar to the 21-point system badminton matches now. I WANNA PLAY BADMINTON!!!

Again, Msia lost and they din even get into the finals. And before the competition they were still bragging with their ‘strongest ever’ formation and stuff. Hmm. As usual.

***

Ok. ciao. Back to klog.

KLOG 2-19.0-20.0 [Monday&Tuesday]: Script-marking week

First time of my life I dun have to sit for papers during exam week. Invigilating is quite boring I think. Especially invigilating BM paper2. Most of the students will finish within half of the time given. Not because the paper was too easy but then they dunno how to continue. Then “Big eyes stare small eyes” lor. I got nothing to do. U also dun want to do the stuff u are supposed to do. Then stare at each other lor. O.o

For now I still have no script to mark yet. Tmr I’ll receive 5M Chinese Compre and Compo. 3M Science. Yeah. Marking script should be quite fun. Haha.

PS: Abit too free in the staffroom for the past two days. Absolutely nothing to do. No need to prepare for lesson. No homework to mark. No admin stuff yang mem-boring-kan. Tmr giving CPR lesson to Pri4 students!

KLOG 2-21.0-22.0 [Wednesday, Thursday]: Compo!

Gave CPR lesson on wed. erm. Quite funny. Looking at pri kids’ expression when I explained the ‘mouth-to-mouth’ action to them. But they were quite serious tho. After I explained all the steps [DRABC] to them. Many of them managed to remember them well. =) Asked 3 pairs of students to demo in front of the class. Haha. Damn farnie lah.

Marked 3 stacks of exam paper. Erm not fun when I was counting the marks. Many of them missed by 1 or 2 mark to up level their results. Marking compo really made my head big big big. I was really loose on my marking aldy but still many of them cannot get a pass [grade C] … Must remark again and again… o.O

Next week getting back 5H Science and 1M Science (Eng).

Next week collecting all the workbook and exercise books from every students to be checked by Guru Besar. *wow.That means GB is quite free huh? Checking 700+ students’ work.

PS: Bringing 4students for inter-school comp on 23May [next next tue]. It’s a hands-on comp called ‘Eureka’ under Pertandingan Jerayawara Sains&Teknologi. I dont even know where-t-h is that SK Pearl Mountain lah.

Um. Okay. Hope I can lead them to win the comp and mewakili zon majidi..

KLOG 2-12.0-16.0

KLOG 2-12.0-13.0-14.0: 3-in-1

Sports day rehearsal, sports day decoration, sports day and lotsa topic-rushing periods.

Wa. Din klog for three days le. But it doesn’t mean I have lost my passion (err…) in teaching or my kids don’t give me surprise anymore. Eh I was just lazy la.

Sports day was busy. And noisy. and kinda different from the 8-year-ago sports day lah.

Received letter from Pejabat Pendidikan. Know my pay le. Not high but I think it doesn’t really matter (ei. Since when the money sign has left my eyeballs le?) Kinda enjoy teaching altho I am slowly pushing up my blood pressure.

PS: It’s SUPER despicable for a teacher to say something that will BADLY hurt student’s feeling. For example, “You don’t understand Mandarin is it?” in a super annoying-bitchy tone. Look down on this kinda stupid math teacher.

PPS: I am super annoyed by that (ref to PS) coz I myself had a BAD impression on those STUPID teachers. When I was in Form 1, then got this teacher ask me “Are you deaf?” after calling me twice before I walk to his table. Fishing shit!

KLOG 2-15.0: Pasar Malam

How do you know you have gained abit of popularity in your housing area?

When you go walk walk in pasar malam then you will meet your students and they’ll greet/bow to you. Haha.

Hehe. You can no longer go out with messy hair and T-shirt terkoyak anymore. Cannot tuck out your shirt right after school. Must maintain the ‘teacher’ look. LOL.

This Friday I’ll be taking over 3new classes already. Then this Sunday there’ll be a PIBG AGM. Hmm.. then the next week will be exam week => I’ll be quite free and no need to prepare for lesson!! HA HA HA

PS: Civil or Busi?? Have to make decision soon… another T-junction.

KLOG 2-16.0: Tuition

Eh. I’ll be taking over tuition for Primary5 Science as well. Good thing about this after-school tuition is that I can claim my pay right after that day itself – instant pay!! Instead of 3-month-delayed gov pay. Hmm.

Revision revision and lotsa assignment marking. And lisan! Pegawai pendidikan coming on Monday! Have to finish it by Monday lor…

PS: I’ll be ‘moving house’ soon. Move from my current table to the new table. Will take pics of those tables. Haha. I’m just too free. And I think this blog will continue with this boring wordy state for quite long. -_-. Dun really like but I really dun have the timeto take pics lar.
