Blog

November 19, 2007 at 8:59 pm (Random rantings)

I think I dont really have the commitment to actually write a blog do I? Of coz it’s stupid asking you guys this question since I should answer it myself. My previous posts in May/June was a bit emotional. Oh well, I do enjoy writing, just that when it requires constant updating, that’s a bit of a prob. I feel bad when I do not update constantly. Plus in uni I dont have ample access to internet of course unless I go to the com lab frequently. Ah…my course really leaves me too tired or too timeless (I know this is not correct but whatever la) to say the least.

Sometimes feel as if I want to channel my feelings or tell people about my adventures etc etc but no commitment how to blog? You tell me…

Maybe should just write short blog entries from now or I could always do those blogs like what those girls do….just take lots of pictures and post them up. Do all the cute poses and just place it on the blog…job done…plus self gratification….

What do you reckon?

My Teaching Career Part 3 (SJKC Perbandaran No.4)

November 19, 2007 at 8:45 pm (Books and more books)

The name of the school is SJK(C) Perbandaran No. 4 which is a Chinese primary school where I taught for 8 weeks or so. Here I was in charge of teaching BM to primary 4, 5 and 6 students. Over here, the workload was equally big when compared to my time teaching secondary school because as you know it, language subjects requires you to mark lots of essays and when each of your classes have 40 to 50 students, this can be a torturous experience marking a few hundred essays.

 

Over here, at least the pressure is lesser than my time teaching at SMK Methodist since the students are younger and technically, there’s lesser preparations compared to secondary school level. The staff here were generally quite friendly and it was a nice experience teaching those kids. Of course whichever school you go to, there’re bound to be rebellious students and disciplined students so like all the previous schools, there’s always scolding and shouting involved though at a lesser magnitude since they’re of course primary school students.

 

Of the classes I taught in, there’re a few really cute and pretty little girls who when I look at them-I just know that they would grow up to be really lovely looking ladies someday. But too bad they’re too young for me-I do have common sense also you know? So unfortunately, I don’t think I can go after any of them. I’m not a paedophile ok? Lol.

 

Anyway, this school was the last school I was teaching in and it’s really touching when I was about to leave, some of the students started asking me about it. Really nice to feel appreciated also I guess. Plus one thing I know, it’s always so sweet when students give you sweets or cards as presents. Plus I do miss the antics of the students.

 

Just that day I was back at the school to fetch my sister since she studies there and I saw some of my old students having their afternoon sports activities. They saw me and they were pointing to me, said hi, laughed etc. Really such a wonderful feeling. Do hope to see them again and what I really wish is for them to one day still recognize me maybe 10 years down the road. Hopefully la, hehe. Ok, not because of the pretty girls ok? But I guess I wouldn’t mind also la, haha.

Priorities Part 2

June 7, 2007 at 1:16 am (Uncategorized)

Very sorry coz didnt mention that I went away on vacation to visit my relatives. I come back and I dont feel like writing anymore.

Going there got me thinking a lot. Priorities in life…

How I’ve been lazing around in my studies wasting time..

How I havent been keeping in touch with my relatives…I guess if you dont visit them for too long, you’ll forget abt them…but now…I really do miss them…

How I’ve been so pessimistic in my uni life..

Wondering why I cant go through uni happily….

I feel like shouting out loud…and I really feel like crying…

Enough with all that, my writing phase is over for now…I’ll write again if it feels right again…

Priorities

May 19, 2007 at 3:13 am (Emotional me)

I openly admit that I’ve never been any good in managing my priorities. In fact, I suck big time at it. Sometimes I wonder about my complacency and how I never manage to put my priorities on top of my list even though I know how important they are (whether work, studies, daily chores, etc)

All my life, I can say that I’ve been absolutely great at doing last minute work. I’ve been studying last minute for nearly the whole of my secondary school life. Is that out of desperation? Yes I think so. But it had also been my fear of not being able to memorise things if I studied too early since I never really was good at long term memories (concerning facts in books) so I always tend to study when the time is near.

At other times, I just slack off. Sad…I know but this bloody fucking habit of complacency had seriously been embedded in me. I know…it’s 100% my fault if I dont study. All I need is just willpower. It’s simple physics. INERTIA. Once you start going and gain momentum, everything will run smoothly. It’s the starting part which requires extra energy just like when you start the car engine.

So as I was looking at this blog by this Malaysian physician (doctor) in the US, as I read his interesting and enlightening blog entries in awe, I somehow felt disgusted with myself. He’s such a successful person being in Mayo Clinic and all that plus he’s only 30. Being a future physician, I know my habit of ‘last minuteness’ is bound to catch up to me, gang rape me, mutilate me and burn me into ashes if I keep this on. (bit out of context, but u get the idea)

“Where is that passion in you?,” I sometimes ask myself. To do this job, you need to have passion to study and do the best that you ever can.

I want to change…I really…really do…

Happy Birthday~!

May 18, 2007 at 2:37 am (Friends)

Nice birthday cake aint it? It looks very yummy too! :P ~~ Swear I’d buy something like that for you if you guys were around. Hehe…

Today (18th May) are the birthdays of 3 people whom I know. One is Marcus, my good old friend who’s now in KL studying Mechatronics. Second is Valerie, Marcus’s ex-love interest? (haha..) who’s now in Adelaide pursuing Pharmacy. Daniel should certainly meet her more often to strengthen the bond…old friends right? (dont get me wrong there, haha). Third is my senior, Yin Eie in university who is going to start 5th year soon.

Anyway, wish that all of you would have a better year ahead and do well in studies as well as in life. As we go through all the challenges in life, I do hope that we’ll all persevere and be tough in facing them. Finally, remember to take care always. Stay healthy and be happy always! God bless you all!

Blessings

May 12, 2007 at 4:38 am (Family matters)

Yesterday was a joyous day for my family. My brother’s JPA (Public Service Department) scholarship result finally came out and he succeeded in getting a scholarship to study medicine in IMU (International Medical University) in a twinning programme (2.5+2.5). Before that, he’ll have to undergo his A-Levels in one of the predetermined colleges set by the government.

Really am very happy for him and also very relieved that he got the scholarship. You know la, in Malaysia sometimes these scholarships can be rather unpredictable. Too much politicking involved if you know what I mean. Anyway, he really deserved it so that’s why I was so glad when I knew he got the scholarship. He got straight 12A1 in last year’s SPM. Many of his other top scorer SPM friends also got scholarships to pursue studies in other countries. The offers this year are better than last year’s which were better than my year’s, lol. But then again, nothing weird lo…ELECTIONS coming mah, hehe. Either end of the year or next year.

Frankly, I can say that when I compare my brother to myself, I can say that he’s really smarter than me. Even I was never so brilliant. Anyway, now that the road for him is already set in place, it’s now up to him to walk through it and do his best for the future. Finally, congratulations Sylvester! May you succeed in achieving your goals in life.

My Teaching Career Part 2 (SMK Methodist Sibu)

May 12, 2007 at 1:06 am (Books and more books)

Second school I taught in was SMK Methodist which is my own ex school. I got this job through Madam Chan, the vice principal who called me one day telling me that the school had a vacancy for an English teacher since the teacher in charge was pursuing further studies. So for the next 6 weeks or so, I was in charge of teaching English to a few Form 4 and 5 classes till the new teacher arrives. Coming here, the workload increased a few folds basically because I had to mark lots of essays (I’m teaching language subject after all) and exercises (the Special Needs students at the previous school only did simple exercises which were easier to mark).

So here, being in my own school, I’m surrounded by many teachers-some of whom I knew of and even some of my other friends who’re also teaching as temporary teachers in different subjects-different sessions. Basically, coming to secondary school to teach taught me a lot of things which I previously didn’t know of.

I handled the classes with different approaches-some I took the fierce approach (the good classes) while for the bottom classes I took the softer approach. I knew that my fierce approach in the good classes didn’t acquire me a lot of fans. Probably if given a chance I would have taken a softer approach but it’s in the past now so can’t change anything anymore, can I? Lol. One particular incident which I remembered was me scolding this Form 3 class when I was sitting in to just look after them since their teacher is not around that day. Somehow that day, those kids just won’t shut up after repeated warnings, so I became mad and scolded them like mad. Made around 7 to 8 of them stand outside the corridor and man, did my voice attracted attention of the teachers and students from the opposite block (they looked out to see who was shouting so loud, lol) which was way across the big car park. Didn’t realize I shouted so loudly. Besides, a group of students being punished to stand in a line along the corridor didn’t help lessen the attention either, haha. Anyway, even my own ex teacher mentioned about this incident few days later, lol.

However, teaching secondary school students made me realize lots of stuff which I previously didn’t realize and I came to know of lots of different attitudes in students. Some students are really sweet, very nice to teachers while some basically rebel just because they don’t like teachers-with no particular reason actually (maybe they just hate authority and rules). Nevertheless, my stint over there in Methodist was generally quite smooth if I can put it that way but I must admit that teaching in secondary school did give me jitters from day one to the very last day. Teaching secondary school students require lots of confidence and you need to prepare a lot of stuff in advance which is also a very stressful thing to begin with. However like all things, as time goes by, one does get more used to it. By this time, some of my ex students would have finished SPM already. Some in Form 4 & 5. Well, hope they don’t become barbarians and terrorize the school, haha. But frankly, I hope they’ll do well in their exams and make the school proud. Lol, shouldnt be saying something so “patriotic”, lol…

Hazards of masturbation

May 10, 2007 at 4:16 am (Random rantings)

Frankly I’m not very sure whether there’re any hazards to excessive masturbation in females or males alike. But I do know that there was this one research study some time ago which revealed that regular masturbation (forgot what’s the frequency) lessens the risk of prostate cancer in males by about one third so guys, you know what to do…lol…

However, below is an example of the dangers of masturbation. To the plumbing system that is. Just imagine that…

p/s: sorry coz you have to squint your eyes to look at it but dont complain too much or else your brain might explode or something. You might say that it’s not going to happen but…ok la…it wont happen. But if you sneeze with your eyes open, your eyeballs will pop out!! Ya ya, really, you try lo…

Broken toothbrushes

May 9, 2007 at 2:26 am (Random rantings)

I broke my second toothbrush again a few hours ago. That was the second toothbrush I broke since I came back to Sibu. TWO BROKEN TOOTHBRUSHES IN TWO WEEKS TIME!! I’m kinda pissed off with myself.

Ah, this is really bad. Ok, so here’s another fact about me that I thought you all would probably like to know. I have this tendency to break toothbrushes while brushing my teeth. Usually when I’m trying to brush from inside out. You know la..to clean the inner side of the tooth. If you dont understand this, you should just get raped by a bunch of sex deprived gorillas.

The toothbrush always breaks at the neck. This had happened countless of times but never this frequent. Every year, I break like at least 5 toothbrushes this way. Oh well, I know I’m strong and all that but I guess I just have to change my brushing techniques. Frankly, I dont feel as if I brushed too hard, nor does my gums feel any pain when the toothbrush broke. Oh well, could just be that the toothbrush are too brittle or something.

Man, just imagine if I used one of those expensive eletric toothbrushes and I break one of those babies. Oh crap, I’m going to be so pissed off with myself. Worse…I might get electrocuted when the electric toothbrush breaks, lol. I think I gotta get me one of those steel toothbrushes perhaps? Hmm, maybe not a smart idea…my teeth might break instead…
