I throw all of your stuff away. I’m gonna clear you out of my head. I tear you out of my heart. And ignore all your messages. I tell everyone we are through. 'Cause I'm so much better without you. But it’s just another pretty lie. 'Cause I break down. Hard as I try I know I can't quit. Something about you is so addictive. We're falling together. you'd think that by now I'd know. cause here we go go go again.

Weather: Sunny. Mood: Happy

Okie that's CRAP. I dunno how shye do the weather thing. LOL. I dun rmb that at all!

Shall blog in sequence. =D

First of foremost, I was late for the 1st day of school. =X Took bus 14 to the school, and alighted 2 stops earlier, for I blindly followed a student off the bus, and had to walk i think at least 800 meters in freaking painful heels. (Didn't know they were painful till I walked that distance. )Result: 2 blister each on both leg.

Then I reached the school at around 7.20am, all covered in sweat, and I saw to my horror that the assembly has started. Rushed to the General Office, and saw the teacher-in-charge of practicum, and she gave me a short briefing on the EARLY assembly time, the school signing-in system and the timetable. After which, I followed her out of the GO, and was introduced to other fellow trainee teachers. The principal introduced us in front of the whole school and I was "Miss Ng Pui Sin". Lol. Oh.. and guess what they do for assembly! The teacher in charge would actually pick a verse from the bible, and start explaining to the whole school, following which, the whole school will do a prayer ("now, let us bow our heads and pray to our holy father..." "...... and we shall say.. AMEN,"). When I looked around, the whole school was praying!! Even the teachers.. Made me wonder... Any other people with other religion in this school? =P. (Did I mention that all the trainess teachers were doing the prayers too?)


Anyway, after assembly, I was introduced to my CTs, ranking first and second in in the department, meaning HOD and Level head. Both were pretty! and the HOD is so young... oh yes. Both were married too. =D With 10 minutes left before the start of the first lesson of the day, the teacher-in-charge of the practicum brought me to the staffroom and showed me my sitting arrangements for the week. I dun have the photos now, but I'll be sure to take a picture of it before I leave the school. The staff lounge is MARVELLICIOUSLY PRETTY, seriously.

I had my first lesson at the first period with the HOD, a P4 class, and they played games to revise, so most of them were quite eager to participate. After the lesson, the HOD led me to my second class with the Level head, and on the way there, she explained that students in the school are typically not keen in the learning of the language, for majority of the students are from English-Speaking families, and that it was a very english school. She also informed me that I sort of came at the wrong time, for they are expecting exchange students from China, and both of my CTs are key personnels in the project, so they wouldn't have much time for me. Well.. I guess.. I dun have the luck. But it's cool that I get to see such major events. =D

Then the P2 class with the Level Head. THOSE SMALL MONSTERS ARE SO CUTE, WITH THEIR ROUND HEAD, INNOCENT SMILES, SMALL BODY AND BIG BAGS. *squeeze* They so made me want to teach lower primary in future, though there's really alot of babysitting to be done. Apparently, the kids have got chinese word flashcards, named 字宝宝, and they used it to play SNAP AND BINGO. They LOVED the game to bits and pieces, and their chiming laughters filled the classroom.

BUT the epic moment of the class was when one girl interrupted the teacher


With the ending of the lesson, the first practicum observation day was over, and I headed back to the staffroom to chill, and chitchat with the other trainees. One of the trainee even shared with us the SMS that her classmate sent, regarding his interesting day in the school.
That message made me excited to visit the school's canteen, but I eventually didn't, cause we were TALKING. All trainee teachers were Christians, talking about their church, so that explained why they bowed. One of them was the ex-student of the school, so we sort of revealed some information regarding the school culture and the respective teachers. WOW.

Chat, Chat, Chat, Chat, Chat. Then, the Level Head approached me, with a stack of test papers and a textbook. She explained to me her involvement with the China Exchange-Students coming the next day, and thus asked me to help her relief the P2 class (on Wednesday). and thus, I had to fly-solo for the two 40-minutes lesson, before recess.
 

School ended at 1.10pm, but stayed till around 1.45pm, cause we didn't think it was nice to leave early on the first day. Then I rushed home for lunch, and rushed out of the house again for 2 consecutive tuition sessions.

And I met Kah Hern. =D


TIRED TO THE MAX.
