This post officially marks my 201th post for this blog. I can't believe that i've been using this address for the past 2 years to vent out my frustrations as well as to share my happiness with you readers.
Headed to Bedok Green Primary yesterday and i was won over by the friendliness of the staff. Hypocrisy or not, i couldn't care less. The atmosphere just provided me another reason not to dread school re-opening that much. Another plus point would be the fact that i've made some new friends already. Acquaintances i would say but i'm sure our friendship will bloom over the next few weeks.
Arrived really early at 815am yesterday for my first staff meeting at the school and i was really surprised to know that the staff there are really quite relaxed and friendly, especially the senior teacher that was in charge of us. They don't really place much emphasis on dress codes so i assume that its alright to wear jeans to school once in a while.
Attended the staff meeting at 11am after a mini tour of the school and a short briefing by the senior teacher. It was only after this meeting that i look at teachers in a brand new light. Primary school teachers that is. In case any of you are wondering, teachers are still humans. We are as horny and as dirty minded as anyone of you. So please do not regard us as saints. Smile at us and you'll see the once icy mountain melting away...
I'm glad that school hours are pretty flexible in the sense that we're able to choose the levels that we wish to teach. Stupid me, i chose the lower primary without first considering the timings of lower primary classes - afternoon session. Therefore, there is a high possibility that i might be posted to the afternoon session. Its not that a bad thing though, school still ends at 6pm and i get to sleep till 10am. May even jog in the morning once in a while before i head to school.
One tip the senior teacher gave us was that we should try our best not to smile too often. I agreed with her but more often than not, we fall prey to those silly innocent looking faces and smile unconsciously. I do hope i'll be able to maintain my cool next week. As i'm typing this, my anxiety level has reached its maximum. I'm finally looking forward to school. I can't wait to know who my pupils will be.
Played mahjong again at darling's house and i was glad that i wasn't the biggest loser! I remembered playing once at his place and i lost $10 but last night i only lost $3! Kenny was the biggest winner, taking home a whopping $16!!!
Will be meeting the girls tomorrow, our last meeting before school starts. Will we have the time to meet up more often then? However, we've got one really great piece of news don't we?! And we've got huijun to thank for! Thanks for informing us babe!! I was practically shaking when i received your message!
Glad that ZY is doing well in the army though he has been kicked out of training.
Last but not least, chin if you're reading this, thanks for always being there for me. I appreciate it and i love you so much.
