Updates on moving house and wedding prep

The heavier stuff are down already, mainly books. Dear dear start to open his eyes wide as my stuff march out of the cupboards and from some well hidden parts of the room. But each day, i will still bring something down, be it a box or some display thingy.

My brother can't wait for me to get out of my room, as he moves and set up his hi fii system in my room when i am away. Stupid enough, he only knows how to put my timer cum radio cum clock on the floor, irritated when i see it, i just put it on one of his speakers. He open his eyes wide as if telling me not to, but i am still the queen. WT, as it putting such a light weight thing on his speaker will crush the system or what. And it is not a brand new system, it is all second hand.

Anyway, managed to get the jewellery and dragon phoneix bed set. Whew, though customs are reduced to the minimum, it is still important that both sides parents are happy.

Time to move more things down and get my ass out of my own room!!!

What do you think makes a good teacher?

  • Prepares lesson well
  • meet the lesson objectives
  • motivates/entertains students
  • know how the students feel
  • go through students' work

Initially i thought that secondary school students does not need me to collect and mark their work. And i realise that it hinders the learning process as students does not have a motivation to do their work when teachers does not mark them.

Marking students work is a way for me to know if my students understand the lesson, so as for me to improve on my teaching. It is also where i communicate with my students as i put down comments and my feelings on their papers. However, it needs time. But in the money world, this is not the case, as to businessman, it is a waste of time and not productive. Sometimes i am confused, because i know if i mark students work and spend time encouraging them, it helps to bring in more students, but there are no solid proof that this is the reason for increase in enrolment. I always thought that my job is to teach and bring in more students, but today he said he does not want employ ppl to teach and mark only. Why am i here?

Little thoughts and acts that touched the heart

As a tutor, i din really expect to recieve much gifts from students as we only see them once a week. The greatest gift that i wanted from them is scoring A1s! cos that would prove that i am doing the right thing.

This is the first time i recieve such a cute report book.*sweat*

Though not perfect, i am touched by their actions

Their thoughts and actions do brighten up my day a little as i am so busy recently with the renovation works going on for my new place. Really not so easy, though we are already making things so simple!!! Gambate...

Peace of mind as now he's my ex-tuitee

He is my neighbour living on another floor. Quite smart and he got into anderson sec with his results. But his hormones changes are turning him bad. He lies a lot and doesn't like his family, just because his mum? i do pity him and want to help him. But he is not helping himself and his results doesn't improve and his soul is not with me when he does his work. My tuition will not help him in any way if he just come for the sake of coming and tries to come up with excuses for not able to come for tuition. His mum beg me to help so i tried, but still failed. cos he is not turning up for tuitions at all and i am sick of all his excuses every week. I wake up early on sunday morning and wait for him so many times and he din turn up without informing me showing how irresponsible he is. I did told him that if he doesn't want tuition, just tell me, but he say he wants tuition. [WTF, he is just trying to give the politically right answer.] Recently he sees me like enemy, siam me whenever he can. I bet he is doing stuff which he shouldn't be and scare that i just 'open up all his cards'. When he sees me online, he will disappear offline. The msg he posted pissed me off
'A guiltless twisted lie It made me learn to hate you' I dun care who he is referring to, definitley not me. But for so many lies that he made, we should be the one saying that! not him!!!
The moment he saw me, he went offline as usual today. And i just posted him the msg:
hey guy, i have already told your mum that i am not giving you tuition any more, so do not have to worry about seeing me early on sunday morning and neither do you have to come up with any more excuses. Hope that you grow up soon and be responsible for yourself and your actions. Take care!

 After sending that, i really feel shiok.

是非

积一点口德吧,人家也很可怜,也没直接得罪你,无意间因为一个她,让你犯下了三项恶业,

妄语,两舌,恶口,就算你不信但也种下了恶因。果报成熟时就会怨天怨地,也不明白为什是

你,因为因果成熟恐怕不时今生今世所能见到的。。。

Lyrics are more meaningful and 诗情画意 songs created nowadays, i like them but forget them in a couple of days/months, none is as 有深度 as the old songs...

On my way to work this morning...

Schools are having National Day celebration and the kids are happy to be release early. And they just nice clash into the hour i am going to work today.

So the buses were jammed and they have to skip the stop i am waiting at. I was patience as i know that the only solution was to wait till a bus you can get on. So finally i got on the bus and there's this uncle who yelled at the bus driver that the bus company is f**ked up and should have more busese since they know today is the celebration. Then say they they should know how to serve as they are in the service line. The bus is damn packed and he keep on grumbling just behind me... about the service and how long he waited and etc etc... as if he is the only one that's waiting.

The more he grumble, the more i felt like laughing, that's why for his age they say MEN NO PAUSE. LOL. Then when he wants to get down, he tried to squeeze his way through when there is absolutely no space for us to let him through. Pissed. I turn around and tell him gave him the pissed off face and tell him,“Uncle, 不只你要下车。”

Lucky he's EQ is not that low cos recently dunno why been meeting with extremely low EQ. He shut up immediately and wait for his stop before making his way down the bus. PEACE...

Gone were my off days...

31st July:
Went to Bishan for manicure and pedicure and shop around in my favourite shop, Joop.
HDB 2nd appt, so called legally hand over of the keys and get possession of the house, but we still let the ex-owners stay for a week or so till they finish moving.
Then went to raffles city shopping centre to shop shop and i end up buying a nice and expensive comb OMG, i better dun disclose the price. But important thing is, it is really nice to comb and using it every morning makes me happy
Then we went to the vegetarian stall near Allson hotel, where we had our first date? LOL the food is still so nice, may consider ordering for our wedding buffet.

1st Aug:
Dear dear ta bao breakfast for my family, hehe. The dried mee really nice to eat! Then played computer for a while before preparing and rushing down the Bridal Studio for our photo shoot. To us the photo shoot is really once in a life time thing, cos the make up is damn thick for me and dear dear had to put on his first make up in life, lucky they din put lip stick for him! ~LOL But the photographer and make up artist are nice ppl. They are helpful and patience with us. We tried to be cooperative with the photographer though we are not professional models, but it was fun in a way trying to pose to his standards. Keeping my fingers cross for the outcomes of the pictures.

2nd Aug:
After a day's tuition, went to ah ma's house as usual. It was nice as we cousins gather together and talk crap and watch the younger cousins play. Ah ma is getter weaker each day. Just hope to see her more often and she can live each day with lesser sufferings!

3rd Aug:
My surbordinate has been transferred to another department. A relief for us in the room as we do not really cope well with his kpo personality. Peaceful day at work and the old birds are back to normal and feel more at ease and comfortable now.

A piece of music that got me stuck on the internet for so long...

First i just want to watch someone play Piano Sonata No. 17 live, so i search on you tube, end up me reading more into the various masters playing the same piece, each carrying out different feelings but i like the one by richter the best, though he's not around anymore.

the one by schiff is not bad too, and i am amaze by how ppl are so emotional by the comments they put, indeed they are so passionate about music...

then i went to read more about the pianists lives... so interesting and happening...

Tired, more to come

How to be patience when you have been patience the whole damn day during your work?

How to be excited when you are damn tired and drain out? Work drains me these days, sign of age? Maybe, so tired that i can just fall asleep when i just sat down in the mrt.

More are yet to come, i pray i can go through this year of tests.

Gambate!

Many things to say, but dunno what to say

There are so many things going on in my mind as things happen each day and i wanted to post but when i come to the page on posting, i am lost.

Maybe i should just stay cool and not talk so much about things that pissed me off. Going to get keys next friday and taking photos on saturday and i still rushing my stupid curriculum which boss always thinks that it is so easy to do. Yes, it is easy to do, why am i trying to do it to my standard? why am i coming up with new materials each week and the pots of money does not go into my pocket? If i do to his standard, then ppl complain and affect my appraisal etc and in the end i lose bonus,i am trapped! So clever! And why am i talking about it !

****

I lost count in the number of ppl who had left the company since i joined in dec 2006, recalling who i had talk and say hi with, excluding 2 graphic designer... i am at the number 24...

It's good to be damn tired.

The sec 3 AM class this week was tiring as i had to teach them AM trigo when they dun even know what is trigo. But nevertheless, i still managed to pull it through. And my students who were smarter must be wondering how come i am so stressed. Maybe i was just worrying too much, they are smart after all.

The BG classes were the comforting classes. It was always a pleasure to teach them, no matter how tired i was from the late friday classes. When i am feeling damn tired, sometimes it warms my heart as i would just laugh when i see how cute they are during the lessons.

***

Was pissed off by xiuming, my 6th floor neighbour whom his mum wanted me to help him with his maths tuition. always have one thousand and one reason that he does not wants to come tuition, but never be responsible enough to inform me the night before, always have to ask him or assume he is coming and i have to wake up early and wait for him. he is not any primary school kid. already sec 3 and still thinks that he can create miracles in his results just by sleeping over night.

***

Recently just created a facebook accout just for playing games, haha... Being a gambler like my brother, quite onz in texa hodem. And thanks to dear dear, i have to be a hardworking farmer also. haha. 

***

I was so so damn tired yesterday that i slept like a pig, really, and woke up like so fresh, its been so long since i slept so well and wake up so fresh...
