TP has been very relaxing for me...observations on the first week...light teaching/giving revisions on the second week...and now we are having exams...but things are going to be crazy next week...first of all my supervisor is coming to see my lesson on Wednesday...and all week next week inspectors from MOE are coming to inspect teachers...including TP teachers...crazy right?oh well...that just means that i now have to prepare interesting lessons and use lots of ABMs (alat bantu mengajar) or teaching aids....but for now i want to take a step back and relax...i want to go fishing...haven't done that since Kim left...i miss Kim, wonder what she is doing right about now...
i had a lunch with the TESL bunch this afternoon...we went to L.A Donuts, please don't read it as La Donuts...its not Italian..its L.A Donuts...or thats what i think it is...hehehhe...we met there at 1pm (well we were supposed to...i for one was very punctual.. si Mau pukul 2.30pm pun alum ada...ahahhaha...)...the food was sadang...i had the burger with fries...no one can ever mess that up, if they even mess up an order of burger then they shouldn't even think about opening up a restaurant...hehhe..marah~...Bobby and Hane had lasagna which was unusually runny...but they claim that it tasted good non-the-less...its just the texture that makes it un-lasagna-like...Ches had a piece of fish on top of mashpotatoes...dunno how it tasted like but it looked good though....we spent lunch stuffing our faces and talking about TP and how we are getting on...i just realise that i can be very intimidating especially if im warned about several students by other teachers...i would just walk into a class and make sure that they sense my presence...today i was invigilating a form 3 class and this one kid was like 5'10 or taller..and he was built like a tank...he looked like he was testing my patience...like picking up a broom and sweeping the room when i wanted everyone to settle down..i told him to take a seat...he replied that he is just doing that so that when inspectors came that they will be impressed..i thought 'wise-ass'...so i told him off and sent him to his seat...kids nowadays ah...no respect for teachers...i wasn't like this when i was younger...and this kid was only in form 3....*sigh*...i was half expecting a flat tyre at the end of the day...but when i got to my car, Nothing!...hehehe...coming from Berakas can give u that kind of idea/expectation...Berakas English school was like a zoo or a crazy asylum...why need to choose?sama la...hehehe... well now i need to rest my eyes so i can go fishing tonight...g'nite people....g'nite babe...
