Went to work today to be greeted by my boss that there is no work today and for the week.

My first thought, "OMG, no more money!!!" And it actually affected me for a while. Affected being my mental stability which affected my ability to work properly and my communication skills with other coworkers.. Haha.

Apparently, the centre has students from the quarantined school, so the MOH required the centre to be closed. And the most surprising part was when the child came to collect his homework, we found out that he actually had shifted school years ago! Wth. However, my boss remembers that she still had some students from there.

However, I was lucky that I got to stay for a while until 7 pm, to pack and mark. I am already shuddering at the thought of the week's worth of homework to mark, especially those students with bad handwriting and those correction kings T.T Somehow, I got a feeling that I will be the one with those children T.T

And now, even Assunta is quarantined. So near, and yet so not far!!! T.T


Random pissing: Annoying rich people who gets to travel around during school holiday and bringing back all these diseases!

First day of work.

Most of my students never sit with me. Maybe cuz they don't know me. Haha. Relieved. Or maybe they know but they are not sure.

I feel so tired despite the fact that I marked so little and handled so little kids compared to last time. Maybe cuz of the chair, maybe the table is too small for me to work like last time, maybe I am just getting old. Haha. Feels kind of sad when I can do things like last time. And when the person next to me gave me the 'vomit blood' students to mark. But I am glad I got a job. And get so busy and stressed up that I cannot work as fast and as efficient.

I need one week of work in order to get used to everything. Monday is the slackest day, I think.


ps: Little kids are funny. One wrote 3:60 as the time as she was waiting for the next minute to start her work. And when she saw 4:00, she had to erase and write again. I am so mean for not telling her despite sitting next to her. But I did have a good laugh, inside. But she is the cutest kid that I mentioned last time.

Despite working in the same place last year, I have 'valid reasons' to freak out.

I am afraid that I forgot most of my maths such as 'i' and maybe some algebra. Definitely cannot make it for the integration and differentiation anymore cuz theirs are way harder than A Levels unless if I did engineering...

I am afraid that I cannot keep up with the performance that I once gave. Well, that time still carefree and crazy, so I worked harder.

I am afraid of seeing the same students and cannot keep up with their expectations of me marking darn fast. Most of them would be in higher level now which I cannot teach anymore T.T How embarrassing, right? Not to mention I forgot how to teach some stuff.

finally.

jw left. so i am alone with a bunch of new people. sigh. have to teach my students and also teach new teachers.

supposed to work until 30 june. but now that two old teachers including me are leaving... the other guy said he would work fro another one week. meaning i should help out too. i am really tired. never have i felt so tired. not since december to may. somehow, since june, it is just so tiring. and i am the only one marking those high levels on saturday. tired~~~ i slept from 7pm to 9am on a sat. feels sleepy now too ;p

futhermore, there will be new students in july. i really do not know how they are going to take it since most of the time it is my table which is full. i wonder what will happen to them after i leave. time for them to suffer ;p

it is like my eyes bags gotten worse. so-called holiday. but if i work, i will have more money. and get annoyed by those students who do not listen to me or just always cannot do. it is tiring to be the one doing the questions instead of them and at the same time, marking their work. how i want to just change roles and i would do my work in one hour and leave instead of sitting there for 9 hours in a row. and students who copies annoys me. cuz i have to check their working and ugly handwriting...

i think i am really tired by 5pm yesterday. cuz i forgotten that 35 and 63 can cancel each other out by 7, haha. and the new teacher also did the same mistake. and i just cannot focus when somebody asked me about graphs and discriminant.

guess i will stay for a while. need the $$$.

not sure how uni life will be. somehow it just feels scary. at least i do not feel great about it. maybe cuz i am really too tired.

plus, driving. do not really want to talk about it.

life is getting more complicated.

btw, i am waiting for those photos in redang ;p

i want a break! haha.

ps : talk about a break. i found a great way eating kit kat. my lastest craze. let it melt. then put in the fridge. after a while take it out and eat it ASAP. delicious~~~

maybe i am too worried. maybe i am just being a biatch. but honestly, i need to let this out.

today, a colleague of mine, well, not very close. she has been studying there and now she is just working while studying there again.

so, today she asked [loudly] to my boss about 'some' teacher making a mistake regarding unknown divided by zero. it seems that teacher wrote any number divided by 0 is undefined. but actually it is supposed to be infinity. and she even said that she messaged her lecturer [wtf] and friends to confirm it. after that, my boss asked her to wait until 9pm.

the problem is the only teachers who mark higher level are her, another guy, jw and me. well, the fact that she always never come on saturdays make me the only teacher marking and she knows... well, that was just my assumption that she knows.

when i was leaving [the guy left and my boss never question him at all], my boss stopped me and jw, asking, 'did any of you write this?'

i took a look at the paper and luckily it was a freaking cursive writing. lucky me. but i was so worried if it was jw's. she kept quiet throughout and when my boss asked, she said no.

phew...

and the other girl said, 'i know it is good to tell why the students are wrong, i just feel it is very WRONG to teach the students wrong stuff.'

i feel like she is trying to say something... maybe i am being too sensitive. but her tone!!!

and the other day she actually told the boss, 'my mom say just go take care of the children, but when you feel tired then you go ahead and stop.' this is regarding to her stopping work in 5 days time.

i hope i am being too sensitive.

back to the story.

then she MUST find out who the teacher was, so we have got no choice. and my boss said that there was a new teacher on saturday. and lucky me, i was not at work on saturday. so we were trying to check the handwriting cuz it seems the new teacher wrote in a few books. and i remembered that there was a sheet of paper on my table which i threw away when i clock out. and just when i turn to the dustbin, she was there, picking the paper from the dustbin.

omg.

how the heck did she know it was in the dustbin? how the heck did she know that there will be a handwriting proof?

i was shocked beyond shocked.

she just came forward and said, 'is this the one?' to my boss. i was speechless...

and then i said that i threw it into the dustbin.

and my boss asked whether it was on my table.

i said 'yes, but then he went to another teacher, so i threw it, he never took it with him, i think he did not even see it.'


am i weird or is this girl scary? or am i just being oversensitive?

yesterday went to work early. ended up waiting for boss to come. so was standing downstairs, waiting. then saw a familiar face walking past. she is so tiny in her primary school uniform, walking with very small steps, but fast, carrying an art block, in front of the father, i think. then the girl walked past me and continued on to another staircase. she turned to the stairs and took a look at her surroundings and walked in. i was, of course, looking at her. then her head pop out again! and looked at me. a few seconds later, she smiled at me before going in... almost like this.


from photobucket.


same hairstyle, same baby fat, but the real kid is cuter. hehe. i think size also same same :D

ah.. the joy of being a teacher..

but there are some kids you rather not teach.

you know how boys can be after school. the results of their hectic life in school, all the sport [hint], game [hint], running [HINT!] and god-knows-what they do in school... and then they come to you in their school uniform. freshly out of school. and you wish that you can quickly mark their work and let them go ASAP, for yourself and also for everyone else sitting near you. but luckily he is a good boy and he does his work fast without mistakes. so... i will bear with it. he is a good boy. [feel guilty...]

tuesdays and fridays are my favourite days. cuz a p5 boy will come!!! at night. so whenever i feel really stressed and annoyed at all the correction kings a.k.a. those who have lots and lots and LOTS of corrections after corrections after corrections, i will feel better after seeing this boy cuz he is so so SO cute and tiny! aSh thinks so too. nope, i am not pedophile k... :p plus, he is doing secondary school's math!!! hehe.

ps : thanks, ro for the source :p
