Beginning my career as a teacher

A classroom can be heaven or hell, and I've finally experienced both. I'm currently co-teaching 3 diffferent classes with another teacher, shaun, and taking 2 classes on my own. The 45 sec 3 express who've dropped out of amaths have given me headache since i started teaching them. No matter how hard i tried to shout at them, they talked loudy, drew on the table, joked ard like clowns... partly cos the lesson was conducted in the library, they walked ard enjoying the aircon like nobody's business. some complained that the aircon was too cold, and most of them were doing other work or chatting ard when i asked them to do work. its really quite depressing when u see them like tt.. i ended up sitting alone in the staff room stoning almost an hour after the lesson. its like so tiring and upsetting tt i dun feel like doing anything at all and occassionally my mind would switch bac to the chaotic scene in the library, only thinking of how to 'take revenge' again the next lesson.

And then there was heaven. I'm also taking 5 sec3 normal acad students who were chosen to do emaths 'o' levels next yr. It was really so touching when i saw them copying the notes down when i was teaching. And they obediently finished the homework that i asked them to do. There was great sense of acheivement when they understood what i taught.. :)

Teaching can be fun but also can be stressful lor.. i will try not to give up too easily. Hopefully i will grow stronger, fiercer and better at controlling crazily noisy classes..

Dog Fight

I'm happy that I'm finally back to the exercising days! After resting my heart for so long, its time to start burning my fats..though i have not built up much fats when my thyroid was overactive. It's much better now and i'm returning to those days where i will put on weight if i eat extra food after my 3 meals. Seems much normal and better this way. Dont like the feeling of gorgin myself with food and still losing abit of weight..

Brought max over to daryl's house for the past few days, and max was unluckily bitten by gigantic Storm on the right hand. Actually max was quarrelling with bruno (why they always quarrel i dont get it), and then storm started to make noise outside the window. So then my act-fierce dog went to the window to bark at Storm. The window is those floor to ceiling type u see, and Storm used his mouth to push open the window. The next thing I knew, I started to scream when max's hand ended up in Storm's mouth. Daryl quickly pulled it back and then there was blood leaking from his hand. of cos i started to cry and we quickly brought max to the vet. It felt painful cos max was whining.. Luckily there were only 1 abrasion and 2 puncture wounds. Now he's much better.

max wearing the e-collar to prevent it from licking its wound.


Here's something interesting... The 4 dogs in daryl's house have different barking sounds.
max - always calls for meat - "rou rou"
potato - always in pain - "aw aw"
bruno - always trying to get up the roof - "wroof wroof"
storm - wooyoaeoh..??? some funny sound i can't spell.
