ooooo

o levels result is out today.
i couldn't sleep the night before, same as last year, same as during the release of n levels result.

and the result:
different batch of kids, different quality.
perhaps i was so overwhelmed by the N levels result, that i was disappointed with this.

4 express:
100% pass
13.3% distinction

4 normal academic doing O's art:
100% pass
25% distinction

altogether i have 19 kids.
3 A2
10 B3
2 B4
4 C6

as for the overall, as usual, some happy, some sad.
some cried, some laughed, some screamed.

just be happy.

:)

kaka and not yoyo

strange foreign rashes are gone and i hope they are gone gone forever, for good.
the drowsy effect of the very powerful medicine still lingers.... i walked around having lessons whole day in a daze, as if i'm high on some special treats.

and i'm so touched my beloved alphabets of g, f, y came by to drop me nice nice words. and where is b?

and i remembered b has the same profession as me, so poor him, must be working days and nights too.

anyway, to answer g, no, nope, and no, we are not like the yoyo in TCS, can go home in the afternoon, and only seem to have ONE class to teach. that is why after watching one episode of that drama series, i gave up. it is too far from reality. i cannot bear to watch it, and know that that is not my life. it's very sad to know that.

i'd also advise parents not to watch it, because they would all think that teachers earn big bucks and favourite hobby is to scold children.

anyway, most of the times i love my job.

it's hard, and tough, and it's deterioting my health,
but seeing some of the kids coming back, being good and all, it's all worth the hardship.
maybe i'm just getting older.

i was also touched by my CIs who came back lately to help me with the cadets' training and today especially just to plan the competition training proposal.

these are my treasures.

ps: yes, f, the kids have my number, my msn, my friendster, and my blog address. they can always find me. that's 21st century teaching for you :)

not connected

various things happened,
but not connected, except that it happened to me.

yes, thanks for the epok-epok, addorra.... and thanks for bringing them to school especially for me just because I've mentioned that i love it in my blog. I was surprised that you came by just to pass them to me! And sorry that in the end you were stuck helping mdm R to sort out her chemistry files!!! :) you must make her epok-epok too :)

and then lots of work started rushing in.
amongst these i caught so many of my kids skipping classes.
it's ridiculous to be spending my free periods playing hide-and-seek with them this way.
after that i have also spent lots of time talking to them.
i hope they will finally realised what's really true and good for them.

the consolation is that i get to talk to a few about praises teachers gave them.
that put a smile on them, and tears in my eyes.

and 2 sms that says sorry teacher and thankyou teacher made me want to stay on longer.

while i get myself up with all these work, i was down with strange rashes these 2 days. Doctor's jab to stop the itch made me drowsy for 2 days. i slept through them with my phone kept ringing and msg kept beeping.

ok i know the work is still piling.
i'm back to work tomorrow.
stop bugging me.
