| These few days being thinking alot....basically it came from my school parent teacher meet. I came to an understanding or enlightenment that probably marriage is not a good thing after all... Not because that I am at the stage of that but seeing my students who character are moulded due to their single parent up bringing makes me understand that marriage is a risk where one must undertakes. It's like a life time gamble either you win or you lose that's no draw..As the divorce rates are getting higher and higher, I guess the probability of winning is very low.
I was discussing with my colleagues that if my student's parent was to know that their marriage will end up with a divorce probably they shouldnt have give birth at all.. Already with an intact family, parents are not spending time with their children, what's worse than a single parent family... Parents are busy earning money making ends meet, they don't have the sufficient time to care for their children. In fact, student who did not do well and was transfer from express to na is not because they cannot cope with the school cirriculum, they came in with PSLE score which match the express students so there's no reasons they cannot cope. Most of them is due to the lack of motivation to study. Their parents are busy working, there's no one to discipline them, care for them, hence as a result, they lose their goal to study... It's quite sad to see that parents have little time for their children and they fail to understand that their children will stay with them for the rest of their life regardless of whether they have good/bad upbringing. At their age, what's more important is not about the material needs but their emotional needs...... | | |
| Havent been blogging very often. First it's because I'm super busy...To the extent that I'm spending my birthday setting exam papers...So pathetic right... But gonna meet datedue so bo pian....I also attended a close friend wedding...Hmm, time flies too.... He's married and soon, in May, another close friend is also getting married. Seem like this year all my hard earn money will go into the ang bao....Sadz.. This coming good friday, actually wanted a good break by going to batam for a short getaway. but then, harris hotel is fully booked.. I can't believe man... Isnt it supposed to be an economy crsis going on? People are still going for holiday. look at the number of people going to the travel fair...People are still buy IT gadets, look at how flooded Suntec is during the IT fair...I come to conclude that actually Singaporeans are not really affected by the enconomy crsis... Hmmm..... Oh yah, one thing I'm busy with is going to the gym once a week...It's really great working out with a group of friends. Sometimes, after a day of work, you just dun feel like exercising. But this group of friends will make sure u enjoy and destress... Evey time after a good workout, I feel so much better....followed by a tasty dinner.... Hope that I can stay happy and cheerful despite the busy scheduel....  | | |
| Last Monday, during staff meeting, my VP get me to share with my fellow colleagues 3 teaching strategies that I used in class which she thinks is very interesting. She saw my reflections in my teacher's record book when she was vetting it. The teaching approaches are student centered and make the students feel that they are in control of the lesson. It was the first time for me to share in front of so many colleagues. Usually any good teaching approach that I used in class, I will just share with my department people. But this time round is with all the teachers who some are even more experience than me. I was feeling so nervous when I'm sharing... What's unexpected is there's an award for the neatest record book and guess what, I'm the winner!!  Many of my close colleagues keep complaining to me that I have spoiled the market for making my record book so neat. Some even jokingly ask if I can help them to organise their record book. One happy news for the year 2009 so far, I passed my 1st stage of approval to study for Masters... Yeah!! It's a big clearance especially when it must pass through my reporting officer, my VP and P. It' s something that I always wanted and I'm so happy... I love my job, I enjoy being with the kids. But I feel that being in this line, upgrading myself is very important... I want to learn new things and hopefully bring it back to school and shared with my colleagues. Teach the students new stuff, make my lesson more interesting... But too bad the masters course that I wana study specially design for teachers is not eligible for any study grant under the ministry. So right now I gotta save as much as I can... Lastly, I used to be afraid of teaching normal technical students after hearing the teachers complain how badly their behaviour are. But when I was given the chance to teach this year, they are actually a nice class to teach. In terms of academic, they can be weak and need more time to absorb the concepts. But character wise, they are as good as the students in normal academic and express stream...In conclusion, we shouldn't let others opinion affect you...Believe in yourself and think positively!!  | | |
| 2009 is a year which cost me to have a hole in my pocket.....Why?? 4 of my close friends will be walking down the isle, exchanging vows with their partners...Some time I just can't help wandering how can one be so sure that he/she is the one meant for them. They are willing to put their signature on a piece of paper which entails a life commitment.... At 25, I have barely understood the meaning of love, yet friends around me around my age are declaring or have already declared their love and taking a big step into marriage.. For me, it still seems far away... I'm still searching for that special one and at the same time enjoying my singlehood....... | | |
| Before the Chinese new year break, I can't wait for this holiday to come.. Now that it's almost over, I find it's a bit too fast.... Still want to enjoy my holiday cos I know once this holiday is over, I gonna work extremely hard as Feb has no holiday.... Sighz! I don't really like Chinese New Year except for the part where I accompany my parents to shop for new years goodies and to go shopping for pots of flowers and plants to decorate our house. Visiting relative on the first day of new year seems to be getting more and more meaningless to me...Relative whom you have not seem for a long time will start asking you do you have a bf?? ? attached oredi or not? Somehow I just hope to stay at home to rest my feet and voice, basically is to rot at home... Hehe... My new year resolution for 2009 is to hit the gym once a week... So far, I have been faithfully going to the gym every Tuesday exercising from 7pm to 9pm. Best of all, I think I'm addicted to running on the treadmill.. I really enjoy the 20 minutes run where you just focus on completing the run and ur mind is away from work... feel so relax after the run, sweating all out... Hope that I will be able to continue running until the end of the year... This year is gonna be a busy year for me cos I'm involve in 4 committees beside my cca and teaching classes. I guess it's will be a challenging and fulfilling 2009. Really hope that I can give my best and manage my time well.... Looking forward to my JUNE break already.... haha | | |
