Unmotivated students...

I have a bunch of unmotivated students. So unlike last year. I do miss Raj's and Hassan's batch. They are a good bunch of kids.

I guess every batch is different. I hope this will spur me on.

Just came back from North Zone meeting. Better e-mail the rest soon.

I was just reflecting on certain things.
1) How I missed my practicum at AI.
2) How I missed my contract teaching at WRS (not as much as AI)
3) I do miss NIE....a bit (cause it's relaxing)
4) I miss Raj's and Hassan's batch

And of course....I miss the times when I was still a student. I don't think I was that bad. Yes I do slack sometimes....but when it's time to study, I'll pull it off.

Oh well...time to do some work now.

Need-to-motivate,

CCA yesterday...

I had CCA yesterday. First official CCA session since the H1N1 outbreak in Singapore.
Tired? Yes....now also very tired. Going to finish up my marking (still in school now). Taking a break. Planning to hit the gym in a while. Need to beef up the body a bit. My lower back is killing me. Aching ALL the time.

Oh well....see how ya.

School's getting hectic with CCA starting again. Need to get back in the groove.

Went to Agus' place for housewarming on Sat (after the half day course).
Nice place he's got at Sengkang. Met a few of the sec school friends......
Shuzhen, Rong Rong, Weisian, Weiming, Meiping were there. But we were like strangers....I brought my wife along. I couldn't care less about them. I don't know whether I'm still friends with them or not. Sheesshhh....I'm asking myself in fact. haha. I mean.....ah.....like .....I don't know. I bo chup them, and they did likewise. I guess it's because of I never contact them anymore. And I'm still sore for the fact that they didn't turn up for my wedding....and they dare to call themselves my friend. Sheeeshhh....
Went to Campassvale Mall at 6pm (that's when I left Agus' place). Walked around and then went home.

Anyway, back to marking.....


Tired.

Not good news...

Bad news....what's the bad news? Some of my students have found out about my blog. Yes MY blog. Which blog? This very particular blog that I'm writing in.

Time to change the blog address......

Anyway, yesterday was my final day of N Level NT Oral at Sports School. Didn't know that Sports School had NT students. Only 5 candidates but I thought they did well. They even served us with Munchy's Donuts and Evian water...cool.

Ayumi text message me yesterday asking if we could catch up tonight. There's heaps to do tonight so we're catching up next week. Haven't seen her in a while also. She's gonna be here for sometime so it'll be good. Anyway, I think she's staying in Sentosa...that's right...IN SENTOSA. Her bf's got a place there in one of the bays. Loaded....

Gloria.....Viva La Gloria.....

I really need more pics on my blog. Ya...maybe I should take more pics......that's what I'm gonna do....more pics....

I spy with my little eye....

I went to Orchard for dinner with my wife over the weekend. Saturday in fact.
Guess who I met on the train. One of my little devil - Eileen. Of course she wasn't alone. She was with her bf. No wonder the boy looked familiar, like I've seen him somewhere. I spotted him at like Yio Chu Kang station and he was alone then....but he did look familiar. Later on (somewhere at Toa Payoh or Novena) my phone rang. I saw Eileen's number. When I looked up, there she was.

Anyway, I guess Singapore is like really tiny huh.

Sunday - went to Kulai to play soccer. That's right...KULAI. Where is that? In MAlaysia, slightly off Johor Baru. Still within the state of Johor but like an hour plus drive from the immigration checkpoint. Got back home at like 11.45pm. My WHOLE body is still aching from that game. Sheeeessshh.
We lost 2 nil but it was a GOOD field that we played in. Players weren't dirty and I had fun for sure.

Been busy with N level oral examination duty at Christchurch the past week and a half. One more day to go.

Time to cook dinner. Nothing special....CP chicken + ikan bilis sambal + baby kailan. With rice of course.....eating outside too often. Need to cooke regularly again.

Body-aching,
RuDy

PS: Oh ya, going to Agus' place for housewarming cum gathering this Saturday. Had to turn down Azuan for the soccer game. I guess I'll have to play for FJC on Sunday then. hehe.

Youth Day...

First week of term 3 is over. Looooonnnnggg week. Geezzz...still got 9 more weeks of term 3. Today is supposed to be the first day of term 2. But it's Youth Day...so I don't need to go to school either. Last Monday, the AYG torch came to our school. It was a success....though I didn't get to hold the torch. Then there's the 2 ITE students on attachment - Lexson and Suharlika. And then there's Noriah....an NIE attachment. I'm the CT for Noriah. But she's a slacker. She doesn't seem to want to learn much....then again, it's only for 5 weeks.

I was on duty last Wednesday at TP for the final group games of the AYG soccer too. In fact last week was busy. Last Monday afternoon (after the torch relay), I had to go for my N Level Oral briefing. Immediately after that, I had to be on duty at the cultural booth at Swissotel. The AYG cultural booth. My school's hosting Bangladesh so we had a booth promoting Bangladesh's culture and stuff. Tuesday was just doing work. Wednesday, duty at Temasek Poly.

Caught up with my 5 little devils on Friday just before going home, at Causeway Point. As mentioned before, they're growing by leaps and bounds. Not only do I feel short, I feel old too. All 5 of them were there, Weiwen, Eileen, Cheryl, Sandi and Feon.

Went to Ikea with my wife on Saturday.....cost me a bomb. Damage was three hundred over dollars. I bought a shelf and tried drilling it but I think I live in a house made of steel. I couldn't penetrate the bloody wall. Damaging my own wall...sheesshh.... I'm going to Ikea with my mum later on today. I think I'm going to buy a coffee table and get the Ikea guys to come down and do the drilling. Going to cost me a bomb but at least it'll be good.

Played soccer in the rain yesterday. Was raining practically the whole afternoon till night. It's also cloudy this morning. Played at Orchid Park Sec, next to mum's house. We lost badly...5-0. I came late and played only when we were 3-0 down. We let in all the goals in the first half. No goals were conceded in the second half.
Brought sambal prawn home for dinner. hehe.

Anyway, gotta clean the house now. Have not done my vacuuming and mopping for the week. Time to get busy....
