rite, so i got a call late afternoon, yesterdae, frm mr lee wei meng, asking me to go back to aes and teach sec 3 normal acad chem... i didnt want to, i mean like hello, i havent touch tt subject for like 2 yrs!!! and i dont even have a particular interest in it!!! but then mr lee persuaded me, he says give it a shot, some more is like e first few introductory chapters, shd be no prob.... in a way yah la, my prob w chem is only e last few chaps, esp organic chem.... so yah.... since he say until like tt, so ok lorhz.... some more is like 1 mth only..... gain experience also not bad....

so, i started my work today... such a short notice rite, ytd call, today start work, i didnt even have anything ready.... reached sch 7.10, briefed by mr lee, got my timetable, was free until 10, so i met mrs chen and she gave me some tips and materials... then went down for recess w fiona and came up in time to go for my first lesson...

my first class: 3/8. i was a bundle of nerves, i didnt reallt know wad to do, or wad to expect. so when i walked into e class, i didnt know wad to do... and like half e class was gone to e toilet.... so yah. anw, this class was a goner, talk to them nicely also dun wan, yell at them then they listen, i think my throat end of e mth no voice liaoz.... but i also dun wan to yell, i dun like yelling so much... but they dont really give me a choice... e class is like quite divided lah, chinese guys sit in one grp, i call e "beng" grp, talk loudly at e top of their voice... and then there is this grp of chinese girls, e "lian" grp, dun tuck in, skirt short short, dun tie hair, sit there and gossip and all.... and there r e guai ones and e sleepyheads... such a nice combi. honestly i dun really know wad to do w them. y? cos this class has pretty much given up hope on themselves, juz look at their body language. e spent e previous two periods sleeping.... and sleeping... they dun wan to study, and they dun even know if they wanna go to poly... quite terrible... but a few were real nice and u can tell they wan to study.

so after tt, came back feeling slightly downcast... wad a bad experience for a first class... i was beginning to worry tt my other two classes will be like this too... then how am i gg to survive for 1 mth? 1/2hr break passed by too fast, soon, i was to meet my second class.....

welcome to 3/7... well they were rather nice, taking out hw and all to do, and interacting w me. really quiet as well... w this class, i was able to play some lame games w them, and they really liked it... can tell. so i told them, during future chem lessons, during e breaks i give them, we can play games, or tell jokes, but e students would be e ones looking up on jokes and all, of course i'll tell if i have any... so ppl, got any gd jokes or lame games tell me hor....

after 3/7, it was 3/6. 3/6 more studious, all take out hw and do... then they were also e only class to greet me.... so since im relief, not taking them for chem, i let them do their work... played lame games w them for a while, but they had no patience to guess e ans, so after a while, they went back to doing their work while i interacted w some students. there was this guy, we talked abt music. i learned tt he wants to pick up e sax and e piano... then there was this gal who talked to me abt her guy probs.... so yah.. this class also quite interesting...

so after tt, printed out notes fer tmr, then left... met zy fer lunch, bumped into my student and her mum. e thing abt na students is tt when they see their teachers they acknowledge u in a friendly manner, wheres express students usually juz nod their heads or ignore u... yep. anw after tt, came home... right, betta go prepare fer lessons.... jj night on thurs!!! chaoz!
