Earning mi 1st dollar

Oh well, so it's been awhile since i updated, and i haven't told very many pple about mi blog yet, so i guess i should do so soon or end up wasting a lot of time blogging for no one to see!
Kk, recently mi life has been rather interesting, at least more interesting than the previous month, where i spent most of mi days moping around the house playing PS2... yes, so this is good.
Hmmm ok, monday nicholas left for Melbourne... Sent him off at the airport... Yup thanks for everyone's concern, heard from mi sis and other pple that once they heard nicholas was goin away they kept asking so how i was... Well, i'm pretty good, at least for now, i dunno whether i'll be not ok later, but things look pretty good, now that i've filled all my days with things to do and i'm not just sitting around thinkin about him all day... But if u're reading this Nicholas, dun worry k, I still miss u, just that i'm putting this extra energy to work so i dun end up being sad while missing u =)
Ah yes, so many pple have asked too how is teaching... Well, i think i can say that I enjoy it =) It's a good job, a noble, meaningful one, and it pays $65 a day!! For that matter i only need to stay in sch some 5.5hours, but anyway, i only teach 3 periods a day at most, and that's 3-4 hours a day! So most pple will say that it's a slack job, but I assure u, this is NO slack job! Teaching is extremely hard work. First of all, u gotta stand up the whole time u're in class and that's 55 mins. Of course u gotta pace around the place and write on the board in addition to clicking the mouse for powerpoint... And for science teachers (like mi), you have to do lab periods as well, for TKGS it's 1.5 hours, and u have to walk around the class that whole time to make sure the students do the stuff correctly and safely (like how to cut a potato the right way). Secondly, you gotta shout ur lungs out everytime u talk, particularly for the naughtier classes who can't stop talking. And this can get awfully tiresome on the throat, so it's impt to carry a rather large bottle. Thirdly, u have to keep ur mind thinking the whole time. So even while like half the class is sleeping or not paying attention, u still have to entertain the other half that's being all nice and attentive! And u can't just go in there for 55min and talk rubbish right? U have to think of the right things to say! Cuz if u teach them the wrong thing, the students (esp the PRC scholars) and the teacher u're reliefing will run after u! And for that matter, on the topic of PRC scholars (not that I have anything against them), you have to answer all their questions, which are mostly out of the textbook, so I have to attempt to dig out wateva stuff i learnt in JC to answer those questions. But in any case, i like them to ask mi questions, at least it proves that they really have wanting to learn more and they pay attention!
And of course this leaves mi all shack when I come home, but there's still lots to do, like prepare lessons and go online to talk to nicholas =) So although mi legs are too tired to stand and mi eyelids are like closing, I have to skip the nap and go do wat's impt... (like preparing wat to say about osmosis for like 55mins)
Oh but teaching in TKGS is great! The teachers are friendly (they all smile at mi even though they dunno mi, so i smile back) and the students feel a certain attachment to someone who has endured the same rubbish as them for 4 yrs and had survived, so they're pretty nice =) And the teachers who taught mi last time are really shocked when they see mi (only a few rmb mi name, but pretty much all remember mi face, even though they comment i look really different), they say I slimmed down a lot! (yay!) But yup, they do stop to chat with mi and ask mi wat's up in my life and all that... Oh and mi juniors (i only know the sec4s) were really shocked when they saw mi too!
Yup, so as you can see, mi life has been rather exciting, I mean with teaching, everyday is a new day! hahas! But anyways, they're only employing mi for this week cuz the teacher (mr peh) went on reservice, so i get to teach bio for one week... Hopefully there'll be more times to go back there and teach lah =)
Meanwhile i've got this admin job at some company in ubi (eunos) which i'll be doin for 1mth... yup so mi life is well, gonna stay so busy...
Ok that's about it, i think i very lor sor... hmmm yup, stay happy everyone, esp u nicholas!
