In which I was greeted like Ellen DeGeneres....almost
6:52 PM Monday, April 19, 2010


The things which made me happy today are:

1.
I went to 3G today and they were so happy that their Science teacher never came that as soon as they saw me they stood up and gave me hoots and applause. I couldn't help but burst out smiling... even if they were happy for a reason which is not so.. appropriate. At that moment, I thought to myself "This is what Ellen DeGeneres must feel like every day... Wow.. What a really nice feeling". So for that, even if they were all slacking for that one hour period because I just know that they won't listen to me if I teach Science to them, thank you 3G! :D



2.
I went to 3H, this time with Yong Sheng but I needed to teach them Physics: Work, Power and Energy. YIKES! Tried pleading with YS but he wouldn't relent. He said he will do the discipline. HAHA... I teased him about his shouting... it just sounds HOLLOW! Told him to use his diaphragm for more power and less strain. WHAHAHA! So first, forced them to take out the textbooks. Checked through their bags for some because I can just tell they're faking it when they say they didn't bring. So started through the chapter. I was so anxious about how to teach them because I didn't prepare anything, didn't read through the chapter and really, the last time I touched that chapter was TWO YEARS AGO! I tried my best and ... PHEWW... Though sometimes I had to refer to YS for help. And he was like... NOD... SHAKE HEAD.. NOD... SHAKE HEAD... He should have been the one teaching lor... -.- But it was okay. Everything happens for a reason! \\ ~.~ // One student called me and he said "Cher! I never see my class so quiet and obedient before. Be our science teacher lah!" Burst out laughing. Though he might have wanted me to replace their science teacher just because he thought I could be more lenient. HUMPH. But still. It wasn't just him. After class, Yong Sheng told me " Eh I think that group of boys are much better behaved when you teach them! And that girl, she shifted her place to seat in the front row. I never see that hardworking before." hahha... indeed I saw her copying notes. She even asked me to write down what I said on the board because she wanted to copy. AWW...

Yes very touching indeed. But it doesn't convince me to sign on as a teacher. I'll probably work with youths at risk, yes but teaching? Nah.

Oh on the sidelines, YS was chasing students who skipped class, shouting and looking around like a hawk... but I still had to discipline most of them too while teaching lei. TSK.



3.
I went to East Point at Simei to eat lunch at Banquet with Aminah. WHEE! School food bleh~ hahah... Getting really bland after a while. Then, I signed up for Elementary Dressmaking at ELNA!

YAY YAY YAY YAY!
:D

YOU GO GIRL!

The 1932 Soviet poster dedicated to the8th of March holiday.

The red text reads:
8th of March is the day of the rebellion of the working women against the kitchen slavery".

The grey text in lower right reads:
Say NO to the oppression and Babbittry of the household work!"

This reminds me of Sec 3-4's History lessons...Source Based Questions which made me really critical of advertisements and look at them in a different light. History taught me a lot. Anyway, it's a tradition meaningfully-rich day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women.

From Wikipedia:

Started as a political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries (primarily Russia and the countries of former Soviet bloc). In some celebrations, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love to the women around them in a way somewhat similar to Mother's Day and St Valentine's Day mixed together. In others, however, the political and human rights theme as designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner.


Anyway, Since it is International Women's Day, ( I hope Siti knows that it is Today, since she's quite the feminist, haha...) TA-DA!

Special Days Which End With -ine Are Mine.
6:29 PM Sunday, February 15, 2009




I need to do a lot. I need to improve myself. I need to wake up earlier. I need to be less lazier. I need to make use of every minute. So why am I here? Because I need to write. I need to be safe before the sun says goodnight. I will miss the moon mornings. Because there's only one chance. And there's so many choices. I'm glad that it the end of the song was a good musical note.

Btw, haha am glad that Pastamania went Halal. I shall hereby tell all my friends to eat there. It's not bad. Hoho.

I need to be stronger. I need to take things less seriously. I need to keep myself but I need to get reacquainted with me. I need to get in touch with myself again. I need to spend more time with me. Oh and my brothers. There's really so many things to do and the clock hand just spins and spins.

I've always been a bit blur, so out of focus. Always been random and lame. I don't know why. Seriously do not. Someone tell me. I will give you a thousand air kisses from my baby brother. Hohoho... It's absolutely worth it.

My future plans are to celebrate my birthday and Sadelena's birthday together. And then, Fadi and Shahini's together... HOHOHO.

Cedar Fiesta was super grand. Ho ho ho! The most grandest bestest funnest carnival I went to. Congrats Cedar. Am super proud to be from there. Hohoho. Hope they raised lotsa money for our descendants.

Thank you Shahini. Miss you like mad. And since your holidays have started... you have NO EXCUSE not to watch EVEN ONE MOVIE with me. Pretty pleasssse.
