Haiz. I'm tired tired tired. finally, there's no additional relief duty for me today. I had 11 periods ytd. Can u imagine? and an average of 8 periods from Mon to Wed. there's so much to be done. i still owe my students their compo which I'm clueless on how to go about marking them... i could only follow my guts feeling and hope tt my judgemental skill is sharp and helpful. By right, i can take my time to go about marking them since they only handed it up on Monday. however, by left, they are having their SA1 MT Paper 1 this coming wed. so? I gotta return them by this Monday. Oh my gosh! Anw, i admire my speed. I managed to mark 10 copies ytd within a short period of 2 hrs. haha.
stayed back to mark the P5s' workbook (which included comprehension in the current exercise), and haha, I'm so well trained tt i can mark them at a speed of 2.5mins/book. As for their ting xie, due to some being overly anxious, i was forced to mark their 1st and had to be very very very fast. so it was like VOOM! (abt a min). I think I'm seriously crazy.
Think I'm so rushed/stressed tt I'm falling ill. vomited my lunch out just now although i had taken it for abt 2.5 hrs.

OK, let's talk sth abt my mischievous kids. wed was a really really eventful day. picture this right now. U go into class and a period later, this girl come to you saying tt she's suffering from stomachache. So u gotta bring her to the General Office to call her parent. At the same time, there's this guy crying in class because his eye was poked by a ruler and it was all red and sore. so u gotta shout and make the 2 playful guys go out of the classroom to stand and wait while u bring the girl to the Office. Meanwhile to put a boy in charge of the class behaviour for the time being. Right after u came back from the office, u started lecturing the 2 boys and discovered tt another girl was also involved. so u called that girl too. While questioning them, someone came out and said 't'cher, so and so are fighting in the classroom!' u went in and u saw this guy (very introverted/soft-spoken/unexpected) using his fist to punch the shoulder of the other guy (rebellious, always getting into trouble with the other t'chers). U must be very surprised! U gotta immediately run over to stop them and instruct the guy to move away while holding on tightly to the other, trying ur best to calm him down. but the 1st case hasnt end and the girl hasnt gone home too. then came another girl saying tt she's not feeling well and wanna go home. despite me ignoring her and asking her to inform her t'cher since it was already time for the next lesson, she insisted to seek for my help. WOW. Head very BIG u know! oh, not forgetting tt u left work for the other students to do while waiting for you, and this insensitive students jus kept coming around u to ask 't'cher, how to write this, how to write that?'. Im gg crazy!
In the end: the 2 students was punished by being asked to write a reflection letter for me and an apology letter for the one they injured. The 2nd girl tt wanted to go home, I asked the t'cher next door for help to bring her to the office. as for the 'fighters', they had to follow me to another P2 class tt i was gg to relief. and there i go, counselling again. and after tt, it's contact time. so i didnt even get a rest. not even a min. oh, i have to make this comments: having KPO Students in ur class made everything worse (esp ur mood) as they will crowd around the door to see and u gotta raise ur voice, scream at them!

on thurs, i thought they learnt their lessons. unfortunately they didnt. and there comes this guy called Johnathan from another class. He came with a container filled with eraser dusts and threw it at my students. and my poor students had to clean up the floor. this evoked my students' anger and they started shouting "Johnathan! Johnathan!". And... the appearance of the next door teacher. she scolded them for being so disorder. i really had to thank her. so it was dead silence. according to my plan to bring them to the com lab to complete a survey (but wad for asking P2 to do surveys? i tink the sch is rather dumb, considering the fact that majority of the P2 will not be able to give genuine comments), i made them promise me tt they will maintain such silence even though they are in the com lab and they did. OKAY, i got to know tt my class kids cant get simple things done. (sux at filing, sux at maintaining silence, sux at doing surveys, sux at logging on, etc) ARGH! I had to lecture those kids fooling ard again. HAIZ. sian.
haha, but a happy thing to share. after the lesson with my P2, i went on to another P2 class to relief and sad to say, it was Johnathan's class. Sian.. but happiness in disguise, during tt 2 periods, my student drew me a card and in it read '你是一个好老师!', i was so happy and touched after reading tt. It felt as if all my efforts was worth it. :)) then another 3 pretty girls said tt i was pretty.. hahaha, 听了这番话后，我的心里比吃了蜜糖还甜！(my P5's 佳句)

today, as usual. i gotta shout shout shout, even made a guy an 'OUTSTANDING' students. He deserved it, seriously.

As for my P5s, they got all excited over my name, trying to figure my chinese characters, esp 詩. These jokers even came up with 死，湿，尸，屎. aiyoyo! cannot stand them, i couldnt stop laughing. and those ppl were being jerked at by the rest.
so here's my name: 王言寺女亭! and i told them tt im a japanese. hahahhaha.. there's this girl tt said: 'so wasted, the last word shld be 神 instead, then it will sound better!' hahahaha. ytd, they discovered my age through my NRIC no. and were super shouted and excited. So cute of them. :))

ok, tink i better stop complaining, guess all ur eyes are tired. go take a rest. Im so sorry! Paiseh Paiseh! hehe...

I'm EXHAUSTED!! soon i will lose my precious voice. A coarse voice is not wad i want. =( i still wanna k box. But thinking on the bright side, mayb a RUIN voice will make my singing unique. hehe. fat hope la!

I really have no words to describe my P2s. They cant seem to be able to get the simplest thing done -- filing. Then the P6s, anw, all i can say is tt the sch is filled with students having critical attitude/behaviour problems. No wonder my brother turned out this way. Wad good influence.

Kids today: No self-discipline, busybody, practice hooliganism, lazy, disrespectful (imagine them telling u this: "oh, we dun thank our t'cher after lessons."), etc etc and sad to say, i tink their family background plays an impt role. The kids reflect their parents and upbringing, tts all.

I've been telling myself to keep this in mind; never will i want my own kids to act in such manner in future. NO NO NO!

oh, im playing with bearbear now. so cuddly!! =)
in case u ppl wonder who bear bear is, let me introduce:
dada!! the bear in black is bearbear (okok, he needs a change of clothes) and the doggy with a big head? He's puppy. =) say HI!

Dun call me Ms Ong but pls crown me with the title "BLUR Cher"!
guess wad, i was so busy and caught up with typing the answers to the P2 sentence structure worksheet for my kids that i forgot to relief a class. And tt class was 5I. Im so dead! Y am i so absent-minded recently? Tts so unlike me!

haha, sth proud, i finished marking 22 sets of P2 mock exam papers within an hour (cum tally the marks). Pro arnot?! haha.

haiz, >90 chinese essays (>30 correction, >60 essays) to be marked this week. then later another >60 essays correction to be marked. chiam! im training to speed read. my aim? read at the speed of light! muahahahahaha...

oh, bought a disney puzzle (1000 pieces) on sat night. so happy. it's so cute! =)

before i go, im now listening to 罐头剧场 -- 名牌女郎 produced by the 933fm crew. quite nice. how i wish i was jus one of them. imagine using LV bags as bets! er, extravagance??

I LOST MY COOL TODAY!
2H, u bunch of kids are really mischievious!! though cute (ur actions are realli cute :D). Actually, it feels shiok to slam my books against the table to have them silent and motionless. haha, scolding can destress u know. but be prepared, it's tiring!! the side-effects came jus right after the bell went off..
"T'cher, he bully me"
"T'cher, she beat me"
"T'cher, he's running around"
"T'cher. he/she calls me name"
"T'cher, his hmwk" (hm, i tink u shld take care of urself 1st before ransacking other's sch bag)
"T'cher, may I go to the toilet?" (I have >12 today when we were in the library)
"T'cher, can I help u carry ur stuffs" (Aw, tts so sweet)
"T'cher, are u a mummy? :)" (EH! tts really random! Do I look like one?)
"T'cher, u gotta be fierce so tt they will be scare of u! like mdm ong." (u mean im still not fierce enough? and she said nope. oh my, mayb tts y i lost my temper! hahahaha. so fun!)
*mdm ong is their chinese t'cher whom is on maternity leave now.
Tt's P2s! haha. small-sized, cute, adorable little bunch of MONKEYS-like kids!

In comparison, the P5s are the more pleasant lot. :) I really hope I'm able to render them with the helps they require effectively.

And for the P6s (i mean the cls i relief today), I guess u ppl arent from the best class most probably. UR attitudes seriously sux to the core. Mind ur attitude! Childish lot of ppl! Profanities aint cool! Scissors aint cool too! I would've confiscated it if not for my cowardness! (ok, i was afraid he will stab me with it, hehe. *paiseh.) and prepare to fail ur PSLE chinese if u intend to tikam ur way through the MCQs. guess wad, a guy said "i tikam-ed and my grades improved! by 5 marks". If tt's sth to be proud of, by all means.

Lastly, the Sec 1s. Hey ppl, sry cant solve any problem, pay for it la!! My bro came back today spects-less. According to him, he was playing basketball when the ball swept off his spects on the floor, followby his mates stepping on his "new" spects one by one. And why? because they didnt see it. I can only say tt u r so careless and ur mates are so blur or irresponsible (if they did tt on purpose).

oh, someone from my cls contracted HFMD. Not my student, but from the class (5H) i teach. In case u ppl are wondering, the students change classes for chinese lessons according to their chinese standards. So, we are using the same classroom! Oh no Oh no!
Will the BLUR me be EXTRA CAREFUL?

Ling said that i havent been blogging for a long long time. yup yup yup, agree. Tt's so true. This is probably due to my busy schedule or rather im simply too lazy to type. So? Some day down the road, U may jus happen to bump into a familar looking stranger by the name of Vivian who is equally bad in English and Mandarin. So how do U communicate with her?! Try the 'sign language'! haha. k, that was crappy, i'm getting random, hasnt been like tt for a long time. It's time to RELEASE. hahahaha..

So... Wad've i been up to? I really wonder though. learnt nth but I miss SCHOOL. At least we can be home early, at least i have jo to crap ard with, at least i have my jie to suan, at least i have ppl to laugh at... ... Sch wld be good w/o exams! And i dun mind being in the education system if tt's the case. hehe.

K, I finally ended my 3 mths (Long x 100^99) contract with Det Norske Veritas (Offshore). hm, it was a good experience in admin where i learnt to archive papers (tonnes of them, believe me) into boxes labelled 'SANTA FE'. I learnt to photocopy (tts easy! but i noe how to scan too! anw, im pro with the machine already, but only for FUJI) Btw, photocopy is my hobby at work. haha.. And i DREAD ARCHIVING!! NONONO!! wad else. yup, i learnt to file the drawings, stamp them with 'for information', 'approved', 'see letter' (rep comments), 'date', 'office copy', 'site copy'. haha, and sth im proud of, I learnt to use the NPS Programme to search for discipline, drawing no, tech doc no, letters, journal no., create approval letters, publish etc... oh, not forgetting wadsoever batam site office, s'pore site office, shanghai, oslo. also, i came across companies like prosafe, keppelfels, keppel shipyard, loys etc. these are the terms i see everyday. haha

BUT i tink my job is actually quite slack in the sense that i always try hard to come up with lame excuses so as to not attend work. WHY?! I've fallen in love with my bed lately. And i hate to be part of the crowd. Sian. But when i'm in the office, it's real work, seriously i tink i work like a dog for the stupid $6/hr. WTH! cuts here and there, also not enough to pay for my medical expenses.

oh yes, i jus remembered. I didnt expect to see T17 in DNV. haha. There's jo hsuan, yu juan, yong jian, benjamin, ling, marcus. haha. oh, then there's this woman which i v pissed at. finally found one worst than the one in T17. didnt like her since the day i stepped into the office. and later discovered tt most ppl dont like her. haha, stereotyping. Im influenced i guess. She stepped on my fiery button on this particular morning when she was squeezing in front of me to board the ever so crowded 92. In the chaotic push and squeeze, she took a step back and OUCH! she stepped on my toe. and guess wad she said. "OOPS, SOR...". WTH, i tink u owe me a sorry! i jus painted my toe nail the night before, and there u go, a step and u managed to remove it for me w/o the aid of a nail polish removal. U'r such a pro. Also, stop standing anywhere near me and expect me to greet u good morning 1st. U dun say, I dun say. Big Deal! oh, and how thick-skinned can a person get? u ask me to zip all the songs i have in my com for u? why shld i? (My OS: Fat Hope! Who are you for me to do so?) U are not even paying me. at the very least, u are not even my friend. U said listening to songs from ur com and transfer them to ur ipod is time consuming, but dun transfering all my songs to ur ipod and then listen to them one by one to delete those u dun like equally (I tink more) time-consuming!?! PleasE! U gotta be considerate. AND use ur brain! U 'see the logic'! (study physics if u dun! hehe *random) I tink i can write a long list of complaints abt her (from my colleagues and I) but i decided not to tarnish my blog. She's nt worth it. jus worthy enough to be present in a small entry of mine to keep in memory tt such ppl do exist in this world.

However, thankfully the secretaries are nice ppl. grace, fiona, jesslyn, alice. gotta thanks them for the help and guidance during the 3 mths. oh yes, DNV is the place to gain weight. haha. training=catering=good food. remembering the days where we took out lunch boxes to take home the leftovers. CNY lunch at Sheraton. Farewell Dinner at this Brazil Restaurant in Sixth Avenue. Ok, confession time, i took up drinking. haha. my excuse: red wine is good for health. Also, beef is not nice, stop telling me it's nice. i dun wanna recarnate to a cow my nxt life. Dear cows, im so sorry i ate a slice, and a piece of you. Please 4give me, will u? :(( last week was havoc. swensen at vivo on tues, chocolate fondue! (yet i still prefer earthquake) had my 1st try of chamomile tea at coffee company. korean bbq at west coast on thurs. 15% raspberry wine !! :)) nice nice. will definitely drink more if i were at home. the white wine was nice too. fri was my last day. Half day! Hooray! then back to DLSS.

$7/hr every mon, wed, fri (as requested by me, cos it's a waste of time to work mon to fri) or a 7am to 1pm job?? Im so tempted by the increase in pay from $6 to $7 per hour. but everyone said "dun be stupid!" haha. so...

VIVIAN is a Relief Teacher now! hehe. U can call me 王老师. haha. then it's obviously im teaching chinese.

Had my 1st lesson today (14/04/08, 7.55am) with class 5H and at 11.20 with class 2H. :) these kids from 2H are cute but overly hyper. Can you guys/gals stop making me scream at u all?! I still wanna k box OKAY!! back in the good old days when i was only 12, cant imagine i was actually standing among the white and brown dressed kids. ever so petite, obedient, quiet, playful. how time flies. back to my alma mater, hearing the sch song i long 4got the lyrics. okay, at least i cld still hum along and figured out some of the words. "All through de la salle, a voice is resounding" was fine, but but but... hehe. and the national pledge! it was months ago when my right hand was placed on my left chest. yayaya, national anthem. I MISS SCHOOL!! LECTURES!! BREAK!! :(( all these will only be history. It's sad tt all these werent being cherished and appreciated when i had them. It's too late, way too late!
