One Inch Closer to babysteph

my comp is still dead…bro ain’t got time to repair it for me, and i myself oso no time to bring it somewhere for repair…so i guess i have to learn to survive borrowing bro’s laptop, carrying it to & fro his room & my room, and sometimes hear him complain & grumble about me affecting his lifestyle, cos he needs his laptop as well..=( i guess i have to wait till the september hols, b4 i have the time to carry it for repair, or beta still a change a whole new PC.

so….i do miss msn-ing! erm..bro’s laptop has msn, but itz a different version fr mine, so when i log on, i do not see my contacts…i am reli an IT idiot ok, so i don bother to find out y, or try getting my contacts back.

guess wat, i slept at 5pm last evening, and woke up at 8am dis morning…wich means i slept for 15hrs! u can imagine hw tired i was. ystd was my school’s official opening, so had a long day, plus not enuf slep for the past few days. aft my bath, i had planned only for a long nap, maybe 3hrs, but who knows…i was reli so mentally & physically tired, tat i concussed for 15 hrs…but i feel great & satisfied aft such a long sleep!

ok, here comes the complaints…being a teacher in s’pore is reli tiring! only 2 wks in teaching, and i alr feel i can’t stand it anymore. itz reli a shit job lah! eveyday in sch work work work, come hme don have personal time to enjoy, even at hme oso have to work work & work. dis wkend seems so short bcos of the stupid sch opening, sat burned. left only sunday. and oso still gotta work work & work, set papers, weekly lesson plan, prepare work for students. nothing but work!

everyday so hot, esp in the aftnoons. and aft teaching, i feel so sticky & stinky! wat a job! i wan a job where i can wear nice nice everyday, put on make-up, be in an air-con room whole day & not sweat. i love teaching, but i do not enjoy shouting at kids everyday to get my job done. so….i’ve decided, aft 2 yrs (hopefully), to transfer to HQ, so tat i don hv to shout anymore, and i can work in the aircon! in the long-term, if i still wanna teach, i will definitely choose to teach somewhere where i don have to shout, and where i can teach comfortably in the aircon.

more complaints to come…something i find ridiculous! ystd was my sch’s official opening, & the day b4, dat was fri, the school only had single session, and some of us had to do relief for three and a half hrs, in a combined class. yes, abt 60 pupils, face them for more than 3 hrs. then in the aftnoon we had to set up the respective rooms. and guess wat the ridiculous thing was? NO LUNCH WAS PROVIDED FOR STAFF! we were not informed b4hand tat lunch was not provided, neither were we informed tat the canteen was closed early. and we were all required to stay back to work for the school. students who stayed back to help had free macdonalds lunch. staff did not get a shit!

isn’t it ridiculous?! dis is wat i call BASIC WELFARE. we r not staying back to enjoy ourselves, but to HELP with the school official opening. and we don get lunch, and we were not even told b4hand tat there is no food. wat is dis? u do dis, & expect us to be committed to the school? wait long long ba!! r we slaves? r we robots?  at the end of the day, we only get a word of thanks fr ur mouth. students get free lunch bcos, if they dey don, then parents r bound to complain mah. but staff is different, no matter how u torture them, the staff oso LL have to work for the school, esp BTs like us, who’ll b stuck here for at least 2 yrs.

hey, i don mind wrking, BUT provided i feel my work is appreciated! and of coz i expect BASIC WELFARE.

wat i learn from coming to dis school is: u nvr know a plc is good, until u go to somewhere worse.
