It has been rather some time since I last blogged. Come to think of it, I think I always start my entry in the same manner... but truly, I have been busy. Sis' wedding is finally over, followed a whole string of workshops, retreats, courses etc etc. TOday is my first day since the supposed school hols that I should be taking a break....unfortunately, my dear HOD wants the work review in by today ... by hook or by crook... so oh well....

Just read Rat's blog. I am very happy that things seem much brighter for her in the new school. It definitely sounds very positive and I really hope , it remains as such ...

Words can kill.

I just simply hate it when people dun think before they speak .

I don't know how long or short this entry is going to be. My mood can be pretty erratic and it changes just as I type.

The school's extended programme is finally ending. Boy, am I glad! I do think that it is beneficial to some students but I feel that more can be improved to ensure every student benefits from me, including those who are less academically-inclined or less interested in studies. I just feel that there is no point in forcing information down their throats when they probably could benefit from some other forms of programmes.

Away from school stuffs, time really passes very fast. I finally have my own room after almost 27 yrs of my life! Hehee...As much I welcome and embrace this luxurious right, it also dawns upon me that my sis would be 'away' from me in a week's time. We had a lot of memories together , good and bad ones. Even the quarrels are actually worth remembering....hahhaaha...I would definitely not miss her messiness ( not that I am so much better but can do lah....) and her super-difficult-to-wake-up mornings for which I would get the scoldings. But otherwise, SIS, u will be missed. Although u wld just be next door , we know it won't be the same.

On a more cheerful note, I have 4 mths to go before my own wedding. Gosh, there are just too many things to be done and Sometimes , I get a bit nervous thinking abt the limited time that we have.I hope dad hurries up and we can start viewing the flats soon (ok...not really dad's fault. The HDB guy is not very efficient)... I know we want n we need a place of our own. For our own and others' sanity....knowing the kind of mood swings we possess and the kind of mess we create.... :-P we have decided that to save time, we can get the hantaran gifts as and when we are free and do not necessarily have to go together. Personally , I feel that it is quite a cool idea. I love surprises and I know I would be excited to surprise him and be in anticipation for what I would prob receive.LOL.... oklah.... enough of wedding stuffs...

I just Hugged Rat in sch...like 5 mins ago. I miss her lah. Due to our working schedules that clashed, we haven't seen each other and I just miss her kecohness, her nonsense ...oh well..I just miss her presence. I can actually get a little emotional when I think of the fact the she is leaving the school very very soon. I know I sound so emo and all but I am not the type who have a lot of friends. But when I do find one good friend, be rest assured that he / she will be totally appreciated.

OK..... back to work. Still a lot more to go before I can go home (can't wait! I dislike school more and more!)...ciao ...

ALL MARKINGS DONE!!!!!! Yahooooooo........

It was the Graduation Ceremony today.

It brought back such beautiful memories when I had the ceremony with my form class last year.

This, year, although I had no graduation class as my form class, I did feel rather emotional for my 4C. I have taught more than 3/4 of the class since Sec 2 ... and I truly , honestly enjoyed every single moment with them.. I fought for them when I didn't get to teach the class last year, I can never ever stay angry with them for more than a few minutes...and they knew it! Lessons were almost ALWAYS fun with them...and I never dread going for their lessons.

Besides this year's 4C, quite a number of students from the other Sec 4 classes were my form kids when they were in sec 2. That was one of my best form classes ever! I am gonna miss all of them so much.....

At the moment, there is no partuicular class which I feel a lot for ( mebe the current 2C ....it's always e 'C' classes!) but I guess, might as well...so that it would be too difficult to leave come mid 2008.

Anyway, pics would be up on multiply site soon. :-P

I love to store messages that I chanced upon when I visit student's blogs. Since this blog of mine is rather exclusive ( only a few pple know), the only intention of quoting the student's words is so as to remind me that...yes, a teacher does have an impact. HOpe it would motivate me ! :-)

From Lynn Wee (sec 2C):
