what a life!

wow i just ended a 4-day's worth of relief teaching at new town sec. was relieving for music so i would be seeing every class of the school (except the sec 4 express.. they've got better things to do other than music!). So that includes the normal academic and normal technical classes! first two days were HORRENDOUS. my goodness. i think it's cos they see me so nice, soft-sounding (was saving my voice, and also cos i didn't believe in the shouting method) and *ahem* pretty so they take advantage.. sigh.. somemore i was sick.. horrible devils ahh... so i asked a friend of mine - Aaron from church, who is apparently teaching now also - for advice and he said use the scary staring method.. - that's what i did!! - but i guess my staring was full of intention, it was rather 'ok-i'm-staring-i-know-you're-there' kind of thing --> not scary at all! so day 3 i tried a fully-intentionlised stare (and i think i might have looked quite scary! can ask kenley .. he's experienced.. haha!) so in the end, to make long story short, i had FULL control of every class after that! of course besides the stare i was armed with other techniques lah.. hmm.. maybe cos i prayed about this every morning - and it worked! i went into a notorious class and the Lord miraculously - and literally - shut the mouths of those LIONS for me during my lesson! i could even TEACH something.. heh. but really.. i could feel the POWER of God then.. wha..

anyway at the same time i had to study for my test on fri somemore! aiyoh.. tried to read my text while blowing my nose every 1.23mins.. argh.. even until today! went to the redhill market with my mum had to buy the 3-packet-for-$1 tissue from a handicapped guy in the middle of the street - i could blow 8 mucous-full of tissue in one go!! ewww.. hahaha...

anyway, oh last night i watched Night Watch with Kenley. AIYOH. Kenley - being a huge fan of The Matrix - said that this was the russian version, so, ok, being such a 'supportive' gf i am, i agreed to watch it with him.. anyway i needed a break of some sort and we hadn't seen each other for about a week so what the heck. End up.. it was a HORROR show - something that i 'vowed' never to watch anymore - and it was hardly any close to the Keanu Reeves thing. haha.. the first thing Kenley said was, 'Wha lau.. Russians aren't cool at all man'. heh. and i hated it cos it was already so late and the last thing i needed was a scary show that doesn't help me to sleep easily.. it was so scary!! i was sitting next to an empty seat somemore.. felt so vulnerable... even no matter how much Kenley offered his arm for my grabbing - plus pinching and biting too! - it didn't really help cos i insisted to watch every scene too haha..

aiyah.. now i still stress.. later got coaching, then got my choir performance.. thinking about it makes me tired.. think i'm gonna take a rest now..

p.s.: come for my performance! Evidence of Grace, Sat, 24th Sept '05, 7.30pm @ Mt. Carmel BP Church at clementi there.. next to Ginza Plaza. It'll be good! dun forget to bring flower for me too.. =P kidding..

WOAH?!?! ARE YOU SERIOUSLY IN UNIVERSITY OR WHAT??? If being an education facilitator is simply adopting a "scary look", pedagogy wouldn't exist...SO PLEASE, don't have the false idea that teaching is something GOD can simply breathe into you while you're desperately praying. While there are pple spending 4 years in uni to acquire basic KNOWLEDGE of edcation and many years of practicum, FOUR days is an insult and a mockery (on you!). PLEASE la huh.
