PSLE oral

Wheeee!! Today was so free... went to sch to do nothing... hehe... chit chatted with my fellow NIE colleague for the entire morning talking about bfs, hair, kids, teachers and yada yada.....

Then when I reached home and opened my mailbox in anticipation for my Chinese EPT (Entrance Proficiency test) results (for admission to NIE), I got a shock of my life. I actually PASSED the chinese EPT exam!!! I so wanna jump up into the sky~! The day I took the exam I was so down. I couldn't finish reading the passage for the oral and I couldn't understand some of the phrases in the paper, esp the wen2 yan2 wen2 part... But I actually managed to pass the exam first time! Praise God...

Blue Monday

First time today I recognised how it feels like to have a blue monday at work... University was easy for me, having little or no lessons on Mon and often late lectures that allow me to crawl out of bed when I want, or even slowly drag myself to lessons even if it means I will be 30 mins late. BUT NOW, working life means wat? Monday is even bluer than ever, with a kick ass start at 5.45am in the morn. And if I oversleep which so often happens in Uni, I am so gonna die..........

SO, today I woke up on the wrong side of bed, feeling a little depressed for nothing, so I gathered it is something called the Monday Blues. The first lesson is my favourite class, 2k. This bunch of Pri 2 kids are sooooooooooooo cute, sooooooooo lovable, u juz wanna hug them to death... Just imagine, big head, small body, big eyes, brown face with white goggle patch around their eyes and cutest of all, BIG EARS!! Hehe... little jumbos...

National Day Eve

As all other schools, my school celebrates National Day on the Eve. Every other year when I myself was a student, I had been happy on National Day eve cos it makes the start of a short holiday. But today, being in school as a teacher, I felt so much different. Instead of sitting on the floor in the hall, I sat on the chairs designated for teachers. Hearing the children sing to the national day songs with innocence and enthusiastically waving their flags, i felt so at home and happy. I feel really different being at the same event that I haf experienced myself years ago, but now in a different position.

Then, later my class 2k had a party. The p2 kids surrounded me, talking and laughing with me, asking me many questions abt me and them. One of them asked me why I chose to teach, and I told them its all because of them. =) i looked at their innocent faces and I thought to myself, its worth it.
