One Inch Closer to babysteph

nothing new lah… not much updates, cos life’s been boring…nothing much but work, work & nvr-ending work… wat a job! the most hateful part is having to do work at home on wkends…

still not quite used to the tiredness dat i feel everyday aft teaching. and i’ve found out the cause of it. it is — teaching. esp shouting at the students & sweating. been teaching for 4mths, but i reli still feel so drained everyday aft work. dat day went into classes for invigilation, no shouting, no teaching. and, i reli felt more energetic aft work dat day. SO, concluded dat this is a very tiring & physical job.

but the year is ending soon, yippie!!! holidays coming! looking real fwd to my holidays! haven been travelling with mum for more than 2 yrs le.. reli excited. 很快地，终于能够看到兵马俑了！希望真的有如书上写的那么壮观，别让我这个秦始皇迷失望！BUT, b4 the real holidays come, there’s gonna be non-stop of meetings, work plans, work reviews, zzZZZ…….

nxt yr gonna be a busy year for me… been asked to be the music coordinator for the school. and most prob following up my P5 to teach them in P6. well, good opportunity to perform. but oso "sai-kang"… u do well, pple will take it for granted, and every yr, it’ll be u doing it. u don do well, tongues will definitely wag behind ur back. 做人难！

diz 2 days been real CRAZY!!! i wonder if those of u in other schools r as crazy… the chinese exam just took place on wed. and today–friday, we r supposed to finish checking the papers, keying in results into cockpit, printing mark lists for form teachers, and doing some very "ley-chey" HAMALA pupil profiling… yep, 1 set of results, teachers gonna key dunno how many times. still to come, the results analysis & item analysis. inefficient system dat expects us to be efficient.

immediately aft the exam, we r like marking machines. aft marking, we r like data-keying machines… sheong… >_<||| do until i want to cry, rushing like mad. yes, MAD.

ok, enough of complaints… i stil like some parts of my job lah… just dat i need to grumble a little to de-stress. sorry to flood ur ears wif my grumbling.. ^_^ yeah.. still enjoying my good rapport relationship wif my students & passing on knowledge to them.
***********************************************************************

Sharing of sth lame..lame pple..lame reasons…:
talking about passing on knowledge… there was dis extremely LAME thing dat happened when i 1st entered the school. remember the principal asked all teachers to write on papers: 1) y we chose to be teachers; 2) what we would like to see in our pupils aft teaching them.

for me, very simple, 1) simply bcos i love & enjoy the process of teaching & passing on knowledge to others. 2) to see my pupils love to learn. at least i tink my reason & goal were realistic & achievable.

there were some in-my-opinion very lame & very fake pple. they actually wrote, they want to cultivate pupils into morally-upright pple, they hope aft 6yrs of education, their pupils wil grow up into morally-upright citizens. wow, 好伟大的理想！omg…wat crap. no one is perfectly morally-upright. we r not saints. look at all of us in this society. how many of us r actually perfectly morally-upright? deep inside i’m thinking, just how many of those teachers reli mean what they wrote. or were they just writing for the sake of writing?

or maybe my english no good lah, got the wrong idea. but they reli wrote in a way like…they r trying to be saints… i still tink the most impt task of a teacher is to pass on knowledge & the love for learning, yet cultivating right moral values while passing on knowledge.

ok, enough of crap fr me… itz gettin late, & i’m starting to blabber nonsense…just feel like blogging… hv u realised, i haven blogged for so long?? all bcos of my busy, physically-cum-mentally-draining job lah…

hope u guys out there have a great weekend!
