I think i just nearly guffawed to death reading rita's blog. Her students are quite the ultimate man. haha... oh well at least they're pretty funny! I tried posting a comment but i'm not sure if it got through cos there was some error with the page.

Anyway rita if you're reading this and if the comment didn't get through, so you jump from school to school? I think that's better, cos at least you don't have to face the same students for a really long period, like a few weeks. And i so understand how you feel man, sometimes i don't know how to punish my students cos i'm not sure if i'm supposed to do it that way.

Sec ones are just hair ripping. If you can imagine, I walk into the hall every other day after their recess to scream at my sec ones who haven't handed in their homework. Gee... I feel quite embarrassed myself, but no choice as it's the only way to humilaite them. haha... And their essays are always crap. Here's a little excerpt just for laughs...

My friend thought i know how to swim so he shouted where are you, clement"! He swim under the sea he find me but only found my life jacket. He took a good look at the life jacket and found out that the jacket has a hole.

Firstly, he started off with his father at the beginning, who suddenly became his friend. Secondly, it's all supposed to be in past tense and you can see that his sentence structure and punctuation is all screwed up. Thirdly, his life jacket miraculously had his name and lastly, don't all life jackets float and have holes for you to put your head and hands through?!?!?!?!

Yup. Then there's the evil one.

He wrote, " I then found out that my father was in the crowd and i hugged my dad tightly and wished that he will go away from me again. "

I think they didn't exactly put much thought into writing, and this is a test for god's sake! yup. Wonderful right? Just makes me wonder how they ever got through psle.

And they like asking the obvious. So i roll my eyes and they start shouting " wah lau eh cher ATTITUDE la...." Haha ya my name's no longer miss lim. It's always cher. *rolls eyes*

I just finished up my crappy lesson plan. Who cares. hahaha.... the HOD doesn't really mind anyway, and i wanna sleep!!! but i've still gotta finish up on my reading up for tmr's lesson as well as transfer some stuff from the diskettes. Went for a major pigging out session at JB today. Whee....

I don't really wanna go to school tmr. DARN.

I was happy with my haircut yesterday and it did bring out the sexy look.

Then this morning i went to qb to get the bottom part more jagged.

BUT, the ass went and cut it so damn short, it's no longer sexy, it's tut. I am so PISSED.

And I didn't have enough money in the cab yesterday. It was SO embarrassing.

*screams* There's a whole pile of stuff waiting to be done but i'm too lazy to do them. Thank god jason helped mark some of the crappy essays. I'm still feeling all #$#!@ from all that happened yesterday.

I just had kenny rogers with Jason and Yans.. long time since i had the macoroni and cheese, as well as the corn muffin. Yummy. Pity i couldn't finish the macoroni though. Btw, if anyone knows where the nandos in singapore is please tell me. i've been craving for nandos ever since god-knows-when.

Tuition again tmr morning, and oh well, I bought another pair of shoes from charles and keith. MUhahaha....

One quarter of my class passed the math test. great. I was damn proud of this girl though. She didn't understand the whole chapter so she came to me and we had a two hour intensive math session. So she passed the test!!!!! :) :) :)

Btw, tess... CONGRATS!!!!!! I'm sure you're glad with your results right? haha well your hard work paid off.... :)

I am still disgusted with my hair. *pout*

I received a sunflower today!!!!! haha... it's lying on my table now. Met up with felix for coffee and he gave me a sunflower as a belated v'day flower thing... but it brightened up my entire day so i was really pleased.

Talked to him about alot of things and oh well, i'd say he was a really good listener. Having not seen him for almost 2 years, he has really changed. One of the rare few who knows how to be a real gentleman. :)

Received my eight digit personal identification number today and got freaked. Germie's having an hour countdown at her house on the day of the a'levels result release. *gasp* Well if i'm not working on that day i'll definately make my way there then. But it's just the tension building up to the day of the release. Suffocating.

I screwed my sec one class up again. And their form teacher made some of them apologise to me for having made a whole load of crap noise during my lesson. *evil laugh* I gave them the omg you are so not sincere so get lost look. Then i ended up giving them a loud last warning to shut up in future during my lessons. Shiok. I actually witnessed three teachers screaming their heads off today, and the students were adamant. Useless bums.

Everyone's hyped up about the release of results thing. The teachers in school have been planning on what's to be done on that day. SAJC will be coming to set up a booth. And they put miss k's name on the transparency thing. So i held my breathe and felt like i was wearing some overly tight turtle neck top. Thank god she was just the correspondent. Another teacher will be coming instead. :)

Time to paint my nails! hahaha... since i won't have to use the whiteboard anymore after tuesday. halleluia!!

Just got back from watching along came polly with janice. It was real funny!! Janice and i couldn't stop laughing at the part where his face was smashed against the fat man's hairy chest. hilarious.

Had a long chat with one of the colleagues today. And he was also so damn funny. he was telling me how come he managed to stay single for so many years. So i told him he was just being picky. Imagine being 36 and still single. He must have been picky right?

Liam msged to confirm the haircut thing today. Yay... it's scheduled for next friday. And next friday's my last day!!!! But i've gotta submit in the collation of marks for my sec one class as well as hand over stuff to mrs chan. And one of my weirdo student ate paper cos he was so upset that another teacher had called him fucking tay. Played counsellor once again.

When i get my pay next week i shall go buy that pair of jeans at giordano. I actually wanted levis but i love the colour of that pair. And it had a slimming effect so muhahahaha....

I'm in a very "anti-boyfriend" mood today. :)

:) :) :)

Next week would be my last.

From next tuesday i would not be teaching, but merely relief-ing.

I'm due for a haircut at toni and guy academy for free next week.

I've got another job lined up.

Coupled with a one week break in between the transition of jobs.

Things have been sorted out and I'm happy with the outcome.

I have a tuition victim!!!! and she's cute.

I died laughing in class 13 looking at their demerit book. someone called the teacher a ba zhang and she was damn pissed.

Today is just, wonderful. And i shall go to bed with a smile on my face.

:) :) :)

*fans myself and hope to breathe*

I'm so upset. I was so upset i flared up at my students and walked out of class halfway. They were probably happy, but i feel so god-damned upset. I think i wanna quit this job. I can't take it anymore. I could have just taken the easy way out and chose an office job but now i'm bogged down with a million things to do with each passing day.

And it's not that i mind doing all the background work. It's when the bloody students think you're indebted to them and no one shows appreciation for any bloody thing, it just makes me want to declare this week as my last week.

I want a job that is strictly everything to do with work is left at my workplace, and i can come home and relax, not thinking about what's going to happen tmr and what i have to prepare etc.

I just absolutely hate the lifestyle i'm having now. I was meant o enjoy these few months.

And to you, thank you for at least making an effort to sort things out. :)

My heart skipped a beat as my hp rang just now in the evening, but no it wasn't the phonecall i had been waiting for.

I don't know what's up with you, or rather i can't figure out what you're thinking either. All i wish for is for you to just at least give me a reply no matter what it may be. After all it's much better than this state we're in now where i'm at a loss and you're just fucking running away from everything.

Because, i do not believe that you wouldn't have had at least five seconds in the entire day to reply to my msg. You're putting me in such a stuck position i can hardly breathe.

It was never meant for him to know, but he guessed it after all, and i feel like i've just stuck a knife straight through his heart. Sorry is all i can say at this point in time, but i hope you understood my intention of keeping it from you for fear that this situation might have arisen.

All i ask for now, is just one word from you, and my heart will be put at ease knowing you're still alive.

My blanket flew down to the 10th floor. And all I'm left with is some stinking blanket that reeks of some weird smell from the cupboard. Sigh.

It's 12.13.. meaning valentine's day has thus ended. The kids have been bugging me to tell them where i'm gonna be. haha. And thank god i didn't bump into any student today. Well, I'd just say that this years v'day turned out to be a little different from all the other years.

I got a tuition assignment!!!! Halleluia. Starting this coming monday. Primary four,a nd i'm pretty excited about it. Let's just hope the kids don't kill me during the day before i can get to this tutee.

I'm so tired. Off to bukit timah hill again tmr morning. yawn!!!!

I'm in school now, and lessons are over for today!!!!!!!!!! yay.

The kids were angels today so i'm happy!!!! But, my shoe broke. Sigh. all cos i ran down to get keys to the cyber centre and when i went up the already went in. Turns out the key was actualy useless. But it's alright, i think the cobbler should be able to fix my shoe. It was only the strap that came off, so i can still walk in them, but it's just that it looks kinda unsightly.

I'm just waiting for one o'clock to arrive so that i can bring the class down for assembly then that'll mark the end of my day, as well as my first week here, cos i started last thursday. and hey! i surived after all... haha yah after all the moaning and complaining.. so thank you ALL, who were there to listen to all my crap.

Think i better return this laptop to angelene's desk as well before she realises i hijacked it. muahha...

:):):)...

I screwed up my sats AGAIN.

fuck it.

I woke up this morning, took my things and got onto the car. With a hunch that my uterus would have erupted today, i put a pad on.

And yay, cos it did come, but i felt half paralysed and i had to stand throughout the entire day because there were only 2 pathetic breaks. So after a long day at school, and having to deal with an asshole who banged his fist against the whiteboard cos i bloody hell didn't allow him to go to the toilet, then i dragged myself home only to realise that i had FORGOTTEN TO BRING MY DAMN_ED HOUSE KEYS.

Wonderful, so i call for help and the help arrives with a short nag. Finally get into the house, managed to get a half hour nap, then dragged myself out to meet Catherine, and settled my time sheet stuff. She brought pineapple tarts for me. Haha. And i appreciated it so much for they taste lovely. -grin-

I bought a pair of shoes though, and the service at pedal works was erm.. a little too friendly. She even put on the shoe for me. And i profusely asked her to stop it cos it was getting a little too ticklish. So anyway i finally got my pair of black slip ons that can be worn with almost everything and they're not too high. I was made to wear high heels to school almost everyday cos i had no other black shoes. So there, I've settled my shoe problem.

If everyday was to be so hair-ripping and ever disgusting, maybe i should just consider going back to my humble office job. But that would have meant that those monkeys have won the battle, and i shall not allow that. Giving tuition would have been so much easier though. SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've got deformed nails, AGAIN.

YAWN. The walk at bukit timah hill this morning was pure madeness. No idea whatsoever as to what made me walk through the entire trail, and now all I'm left with are aching muscles and eyes that are drooping.

I wish i could just plop on my bed and sleep. But, I've still got to pack my bag for tmr, read up on those english supplements as well as the math textbook. And that's all that's left to do after i completed my huge stack of marking as well as lesson planning. I've got homework, and this sucks. Now I've gotta wake up at unhumane hours and I've got to face screaming monkeys. Maybe i shouldn't have quit my slacker job after all.

But i guess i'll grow to like those monkeys. It's always like this. When you're new to the place, there's always a barrier to everything. Break the barrier and everything will be fine. Maybe when it's time to leave this school I'll be having the same old feeling.

I feel pretty stressed though. Or perhaps i stress myself out too much. I'm so afraid i won; know how to handle those kids, and I'm so afriad i'll say something wrong. I'm so afraid of being criticised, I'm so afraid of doing the wrong things. And I'm stressed till my pimples have formed a right angled triangle on my forehead. yay.

Long day again tmr. But I'm meeting catherine and my new pay will be processed tmr so that's something to look forward too. I get to leave at 1.35!!!!!! And i shall, even if it means having to take the same mrt with some of those brats. Well, i wanna thank all of you who have given me endless support and encouragement when i was depressed. *hugs*

I still am depressed though.

I found mo fa kor pastilles in JB, and i grabbed every single box on the shelf. :) :) :) They're such rarities.

Anyway teaching is killing me. as in seriously KILLING me. I left school feeling all depressed and suicidal, all because of one class. Had two boys shoving and slapping each other on the first day, and the best part of it all is that i think that class hates me. But oh well, I did scream like hell and get them to focus, but they're just so hair-ripping i was at a loss.

Know the cantonese phrase "deng sam deng sei"? They have something to say like every 5 seconds and it is PISSING me off. They're the best NA class but yet the worst behaved. It was such a joy when i went into another class today. Though it took alot of time to get a point across, at least they listened and asked qns when they didn't understand and i really appreciated it.

Sometimes it's so hard to explain certain concepts of math. AND I ABSOLUTELY DREAD GOING INTO THAT DAMN-ED CLASS. But, i shall not give up as yet. I love my table in the staffroom though. A cosy little place free for me to decorate it in anyway i like. I haven't done anything yet though, just a magnet and some sweets. On monday i'll bring in my precious little mo fa kor pastilles. haha.

Next week english lessons will come into place. Hopefully that class would be yet another pleasure to teach. Just anything other than that class would do. :)

Met janice this afternoon to buy ah chu's prezzie. Met some of her classmates, and i came home depressed. Then i went to JB for dinner and found those mo fa kor pastilles so i came home happy again. :)

oh well at least the next two days are free... I've got loads of marking to do and a whole load of rebellious monkeys to face on monday and a lecture to give. It's gonna be yet another long day on monday. *poo* I really think we were all damn good students in the past.

I've got no money and my pay hasn't arrived as usual. I can't stand the way she exudes all that charm and classy-ness. I could never achieve that and I feel like I've just eaten a thousand grapes that have expired since B.C. ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!

Pissifying. I can't get my SAT score.

It's my last day here in the office. Tomorrow I take on my new role as a relief teacher. And I do have many qualms about going into the classroom and screaming my head off, but I'll survive, somehow.

I'll miss Super Galvanising though!!!! Especially Catherine, Doris and Dennel. Well, they were the only few ones that bothered talking to me. And they're such nice people i'll probably miss them like crazy. It's been a busy last 2 days.. with a whole load of filing to complete. But oh well, it was the least i could do after attending their company dinner as well as lunch.

So once again instead of losing weight, I'm gaining. sigh!!!!!! First it was the buddha jump over the wall at asia hotel, then cold crabs at chinatown, then lunch at tan chin lee seafood restaurant, followed by supper with cher at jurong point, and pigging out on xiao long baos.

I can already feel my protruding tummy expand itself. How sad is that. I gotta wake up at 6.20 tmr!!!!!!!!!!!1 *dies* It's like back to school again and i feel all lazy bummer-ish I so do not wanna prepare for lessons. BOO....... I love math though. haha.

oh yah something funny....
principal: " so angie, would you rather teach math or geography?"
me: " er.. math. "
principal: " but... you got an F for your prelims!"
me: " I really liked math till i reached jc"

And i got the job! hahahaha....... wheeeeeee.............. I'm going down for lunch.. lalalala....
