Saturday, 6/9/08

saturday is normally the busiest day for me as i have to teach one karate class and 3 tuition classes. i am working from 10am till 730pm, non stop!

Well, anyway, although it is tiring,i enjoy my job as an educator. This morning, one of my karate studetns asksed me "Ei sensei, why not the other sensei would have gone for the speech? Why would you be the one to give the speech?" During June this month, i was in charge of a karate tournament alongside with ministry of youth and sports. I was the person in charge of it, then my sensei asked me to give a talk during the closing ceremony of the tournament.

 i was stunned by what my student said just now. Well, perhaps, she thinks that i cant fit to give the talk where there is other better people who can do it. Maybe, she thinks that i am not eligible enough to do so. After a few minutes, then i told the whole class that not everyone will have the chance to do public speaking in front of so many people. only those who are capable can be called.

Whatever it is, i do not bear this on mind. Today, i gave two gifts to Angel and Kai Qiu who are going to sit for upsr next week. i am not sure whether they like it or not, but, anyway, i hope that they will get good results in their examinations.

 Em, pau ek and cindy asked about their kfc just now as i promised to treat them to kfc if they scored more than 80% in their english. Well, i am very happy that they got more than 80%. i have been thinking of treating them to enjoy the meal but i have been short of money recently.

Well, i lost two form 5 students this month and two form 1 students this month too. that means my salary will reduce RM160...this is big money for me as i need to take care of my daily expenses, bus fares, taxi fares, eat, drink, photocopy, petrol...so on and so forth.

Wow.... I dont know how to say lah.... I am indeed quite poor recently!! But i will never say die to my fate...i will work harder. maybe i am not a good teacher that is why i lost 4 students this month.

Anyway, i will try to be a good teacher as i am always trying to be! However, if i have some money left next week, i will buy Ferrero Rocher for these two cute and clever students!!

 Besides, Ferlin and happy plus did quite good for their vocabulary tests. Ferlin got 84.5 and Happy plus got 80%. They really studied hard for it. Congrats them! Next week is form5 students' pre spm exam. I do hope that they can get resutls:-)

5th Sept 08

It is a busy but meaningful day for me today. i have two classes in UPM from 8am till 11am. it was so hard for me to wake up this morning. And y0u know what, i was late to class. lol

 The moment i opened the door, our lecturer cik pah said" Well, you made it" haha...luckily she didnt scold me. this morning during the class, after my group has presented our lesson plan, some coursemates gave comments.

Well, they did not agree with my points and i didnt really agree with theirs too. Anyway, i was a bit angry and i raised my voice when i defended my stand. However, forget about it. By the time i reached yong peng, it was already 315pm. I went back, changed my shirt then went to tuition centre.

Today we did about writing" the hero in my life". lol my students only finished the esssy at 820pm although they started to writee at 5pm. haha...!! Anyway, they have done it, i hope they really could learn something from my class.

Well, you know, i am quite happy today as my form4 studetns came to class earlier. Although we still started the class at 7pm something, i could see the imporvement. i do hope that they will remember to come to class in time.

In short, i am tired but it is good to see my students to grow. So, it is worth my sacrifice:-)lol

Thursday, 4th Sept 08, 2nd Journal...

Hi, it is a good day for me because the weather is very nice...i can say today is a rainy day. Today was the first micro teaching session for cik pah class. Next week will be my turn and i believe i can do a good job.

Some of my coursemates went out to teach this morning. Well, some of them are good but some are normal. As a teacher, the voice projection is very important, intonation and also the body language are important too. By the way, i hope some of my coursemates will really work on that.

 Sadly, i have two classes tomorrow morning, 8-10 and 10-11..Sigh, then i can only go back to Yong peng to give tuition. I wanted to give two classes for my form 5 students tomorrow. But very sad to say that i cant make it becasue by the time i reach Yong peng, it is already 4pm something.. So, no choice, hopefully, i can see them from 5pm-7pm.

On the other hand, today i watched a movie in class. it was about the love between a couple and the love between teacher and students. Wow...i was so touched... you know what, most of my coursemates are girls, ladies or women..you know lah, when they were watching movie, whenever there was touching scene, they would shout, scream or whatsoever... oh my, my god..

i would really get heart ATTACK. lol Anyway, i can go back tomorrow edi..can see my karate and tuition students...happy now... IN short, Fight or fright! I choose to FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!!!

Wednesday, 3rd Sept 08, My First Journal

i always stress that teacher must set good example for students. Well, i am going to do that to prove to my students that i not only talk, but i walk my talk. First of all, i asked my form 5 studetns to start writing journals everyday untill they finish their SPM english papers.

Am i too ambitious? Am i asking too much? Well, although i know that they are not used to writing journals especially writing in English Language, but i totally believe in their abilities. I really believe in them as i believe that they will do their best or go all out to achieve what they want to score in this exam.

If i dont ask my students to start writing journals, i am afraid that they will not be able to better their writing and thinking skills. I would like them to equip themselves before they start the war in this November and December. I hope they will succeed!

Besides, i would like to talk about what happened to me today. Life will be bullshit if i fall sick, yes, i am sick, i got flu and sore throat. Damn it!! God damn it!! But, anyway, it is getting better as i drank a bottle of 100 plus 1.5 litre. lol

 On the other hand, i still cannot make up my mind about the topic for my research paper. haha... I will try my best to figure it out as soon as possible. Check it out then! I chatted with snow and good tree today too, wow...first time i typed chinese using msn...It was kansai as i was not familiar with the chinese words...

But, i hope my words would touch snow and good tree, and influenced them to better persons. I really hope that all of my students will be great people next time. All in all, I love myself and i love all of them so much! Long live, Everyone!!
