Nan Hua Primary School.. memories

and lets see some photos of my students! hha... this was the day I left Nan Hua ... and my favourite students took pictures with me.. first up is P 5E... they gave me a pleasanmt surprise... i walked into the class for the last Maths lesson.. and they planned a surprise with Balloons... drew on the board... filled the whole board and wordings on the balloon also... and then tied them onto the projector screen... then wrote things like "Thank you Miss Tan".."i miss u miss tan" and even "sorry for not doing homework".. my gosh... haha...ook Class 5 E

and more... and then i punished 2 boys.. Ryan and Zen Young by making them squat on their tables and pull their noses...actually not punishment... its just like a game for them! haha... they enjoyed it so much, all the boys wanted to do the same thing! my gosh... oh no...all elephants in my class
and then 5 E boys with me...
and this is what they wrote on the board...
and then me and P 4B Girls.. PE class

and then the 4B boys...

this is quite a blurr photo though.. but it looks kinda natural~

wow.. finally i am back... its so boring these days... everyday I am in NTu.. having some talks.. then the only thing i am looking forward to is training at the end of the day.

Hoping that this week can end soon so that I can start my 2 times training everyday! I have already planned out my training programme for next week onwards... morning training programme i plan, then evening training programme is planned by coach.

Its so tiring on saturdays... I have commenced on my training programme with my 2 adventure racing partners.. last Sat we cycled from Jurng East to Lim Chu Kang, then to kranji, then to Mandai, then to NTU and loop around ntu and then to Upper thomson then loop around bishan, then all the way to Pasir Ris.. almost clocked 100km.. then once we reached Pasir Ris, we wenty for a 2.5 hr kayak training... at the end of the training, my butt hurt so much that I took cab home instead of riding back from Pasir Ris..

It has been months since i last cycled... and it was a horrible training for me.. but then this made me wanna train harder.. there are so many upcoming races.. such as Golden mile, marathons, half marathons coming up. I guess all the night runs i have with JD helped me a lot! woohoo!

and just 2 weeks ago, i went out with Helen, Mao, Paul, Sam and his gf.. lets see some photos.. we went to a posh restaurant.. jap food.... nice nice but super ex... Paul's fault.. wanna give helen a pleasant surprise...

helen and paul...

and I took a few pictures with Mao.. been very long ever since we took pictures...

and this is Helen and me!
and then Xian and Paul..

and then me and mao again!

and then more pictures... ahah since JC years.. we have yet to take more photos.. till now.. thanks Mao for always being there for me... from J2 till now.. we know that no matter what happens.. we will always be the best of friends...
and finally Samuel with his gf...

ok done! we had an enjoyable time.. but i felt that I have lesser and lesser topics to talk with them.. i keep quite quiet throughout the dinner and felt really tired after that. Lucky Moa sent me back home with his car... really appreciate it. ... SOmetimes i feel that I have gone out of the circle which my ex classmates are still in. even Mao says that I have become a "no nonsense" type of girl ... someone who is serious.. probably its the earlier plunging into the working society that made me realise I have to be more alert and more serious in some manners..

finally... I am down with 1 more week to go before my practicum ends on 11th May... haahaa... and next week I practically have no lessons because my students are having their SA1...
and I am so happy for Lao Da, ZY and Xy... they finished their exams le! but so sad.. yesterdaY i went back to NTU to train... ran to Hall 3 to look for them... but seems that they all left hall and went out... aiyoh... they are idiots... especially Lao Da.. still leave his room lights and fan on for what... of did I happened to not see him because he is playing poker or mahjong at Tai Pan area again?

hhaa once again... I am so happy for Lao Da because he has found his love one... but then he will love me lesser now! oh no... haah Lao Da, will you still love your ah neh as much! haha aiyoh.. I think I am going mad...

haha today ZI had my last lesson observation.. the lesson went well.. but during discussion with my CT, I cried.... I felt as though I did not do a good job... as though I am a lousy teacher.. and then he mentioned that I seemed to put more effort in my maths lesson as compared to my PE lesson.. i felt kinda insulted... but then he explained his view too and i explained mine... though i got a B for that lesson... (most people get C or B).. and had improved in a lot of ways.. but then i felt that I am a perfectionalist... which my CT also felt.. he say that i should not put so much pressure on myself... everyone has a flaw... and he says he understand because of my competitive nature in sports that i demand a lot from myself... haha.. think I got to learn to take things a little lightly though...

yesterday I walked out of a class.. my only maths class 5 E... they were well behaved all along... just that yesterday we went through exam papers for the first time...and they were floating people ... talking people.... chit chatting and everything else.. and i allowed 5 students to sit on the floor to copy the answers because they claimed that they could not see from their seats.. they took advantage of that and began talking... the whole class was in a mess.. and i had a supervisor coming in to observe my lesson... even I was shocked at their behaviour.
after the supervisor left, I gave them a lashing lesson.. I was so angry with them! I perpetually called all of them to return to their seats...then one by one scold them... asked those who never bring files, wb, tb to stand up... and them gave my piece of mind... and lucky I had already covered what i need to cover during that lesson...and after scolding them, i say "i dun wish to stay in this class even a second longer, i cannot tolerate your nonsense anymore. " and i walked out... and then when i came into class today, there was total silence, then on the board was written" sorry, Miss Tan!" ... i felt like laughing... but then i controlled... ahahah... i am just a hard hearted outlook but soft hearted teacher... perhaps I should have been more stricter...

haha.... and today I am going to work from 2-5 pm! with my darling ZY.. earn some extra cash... yup... be facilitators to some china students...

see ya in a while...! i am going back to NIE for talks soon!
