Socked!

The watcher strikes again.
This time, it happened in my classroom.

I was teaching in the lab and was checking on the kid's note-writing progress at the back. Suddenly a prefect tapped me and said someone had been punched. Of course la, I pivoted back up front the science lab and there I saw a boy, also a prefect crying silently, covering his right eye with his left hand and writing his notes with his right.

I asked him, who did the punching?
He was just silent and kept writing and more tears fell.
Some good friends on his lab table said a name and I was shocked.

It is the name of a girl, also a prefect but a head shorter than he is. I looked at the other table next to his and saw the girl shooting daggers at him. The girl was also tight lipped. She did not answer why she punched him but of course la, her friends was saying that the boy was jeering at her. Still water runs deep, wahahaha.

It was so comical that I was trying so hard at not laughing while reprimanding those two kids.

Brotherly Love

The school watcher strikes again. This time, its not the weird things that the pupils did. It was heart warming. To me that is.

It is common for pupils to have siblings in the school whether they are younger or older. Not forgetting those who have cousins too. For the first week, usually parents for year 1 pupils would wait outside the classroom and eventually when their children were able to adapt with school life, the parents crowd would dissipate. It is different for those with brothers and sisters ahead of them though. Mostly, sisters would wait for their younger siblings during recess. Brothers would only wait for their kid sister and brother when the last bell rings. Maybe having younger siblings tagging along during recess would cramp their style, hehe.

That certainly brought me to this entry.

There are a pair of twin boys in year six. I have to say that they are among the popular crowd since both of them are in the leading year 6 class, one of them is a prefect and both of them are the school champion in shot put and javelin. They're both in the different sport houses of course and they have their own personality.

What made me aware of them?

They happened to be the only boys who would wait for their sister in year one for recess and I often saw them bringing their sister behind the school building to share food. I teach their sister's class and I never fail to notice them outside the classroom as the recess bell rang. Of course they escorted their sister alternately. When the prefect was on his canteen duty his brother would take her. One day as I was about to go home on a Friday, I saw them cycling. At that time the prefect was carrying their sister on his bike and the his brother was cycling in front. Their sister sat on the carrier wrongly. What made me pause was, the prefect stopped at the roadside and lifted his sister behind to properly positioned her on the carrier comfortably. The other twin noticed his brother's act and waited patiently in front. When that was done, they cycled home together.

Wasn't that just sweet?
And they're still the coolest kids in year 6.

Blast from the past

Does it make you an ancient if all that you want to hear are songs from the 80s and 90s?
*Cringe*

The song that I play over and over again on my player is Meat Loaf's I'd lie for you (and that's the truth). Well, one reason I love that song was that the music video was kinda like Indiana Jones-ish. Well of course, doesn't make you think far when the 'mask' was shown over and over again. Then the 7 minutes long music video. Of course If you're familiar with Celine Dion's music video 'It's all coming back to me now', its more or less like that since the song was originally intended for Meat Loaf. Well he did the song in 2006 as a duet with Marion Raven. I dug on to this song with my best buddy Eena back in school. Well other than the fact that I like the contradiction of the title. And then the song 'I would do anything for love (but I won't do that)'. Such a contradictory.


o.0

I swore that I was completely blank and absent-minded when I drove back home. Well make that today. In the morning I nearly gone to school with my headscarf inside out. Luckily a look in the mirror as I went out saved me from the embarrassing predicament. Definitely have to blame it on the text for the storytelling competition that I spent the whole night writing and editing.

Then I called out the wrong name in the class when a kid started to act up. Instead of bellowing his name which was Aziz, I bellowed for another pupil's name which was Akashah who was stunned as he was busy doing his work. Well, he was sitting balancing on the back half of his chair and way too focused I might say and it came as no surprise that my voice made him lost his footing and fell from his chair. Erk, poor kid.

Then after I got home, my phone was ringing. Had 3 missed call from a colleague. When she finally caught me on phone the question was;

"Oy! class!"
"Huh?What class?"
"Buddy support* class laaaaaaa"
"Uwahhhh seriously forgot!"
"Eh, you're usually go back at 3 what?"

Seriously I don't even know why I'm home early today other than the fact that I really have to get back to my laptop and continue my story to submit for the competition. I seriously don't want to think any possibility for any error for tonight's night class, huhuhu.

Buddy support class: Class designated for teachers who teaches science and mathematics by English teachers as one of the ways to improve teachers' command in English.

Drabble drabble

Lunar new year had just passed and for us, school starts today. The road this morning was completely free flowing and since my daily route included 5 other schools, that was really something. For the 5 days holiday, managed to make my way to Serdang. There's the fact that my siblings are there and there's also the fact that my sayang is there so of course, that would be my main destination. My future-sister-in-laws's wedding was during the school sport's day and last weekend was the reception at the groom's place so yeah, it was one of the reasons too. Then the much long due visit to my uncle's house at the village in Sijangkang was also one of the top agenda. So little time so much place to go.

And then the much expected addiction.

I just so know it that once I get my hands playing Phoenix Wright on my brother's DS that I would be hooked. I am and too bad my laptop can't save the game *WARGHH!!!!*

*Sniff sniff*

Back to school and my schedule is getting busier since the schedule was changed according to new teacher's major and minor subject in the institute. And I wonder what possessed me to volunteer for the story writing contest for teacher's entry this morning. It's due next week, aiyoyoooo. And I haven't even checked my pupil for the zone level story telling contest. And then there's the sports meeting this Wednesday, afternoon class, night class *faint*. And I haven't even start the stock for the resource centre...

Whoever said that teaching job is the easiest is definitely a bystander who have no idea at all.

Anyway, I love it and it's worth it ^_^

*Tuneless whistle*

Yeah, been so long since I've written and too many things happened in between.

Well there was Heath Ledger's demise, a demise of an unfortunate monkey who managed to get to the Parit Selangor's power generator, got electrocuted and managed to keep my home area without electricity from 4.30pm to 1am. That was just fine and dandy *snickers*.

It was this early February when our school held the yearly sports day since the zone level tournament was due at the end of the month or early march. This is the first time ever, and I mean EVER that I was placed in green house. Before this in primary and secondary school I was in yellow house. Of course, during primary school yellow house was the weakest but good thing that in secondary school yellow house was one of the leaders. So anyway as for the school's green house, they always say that green house is the closest to the grass. Meaning - always the last and the bottom.

For this year, since the new school building is constructed, the field is off limits so we have to make do with whatever we have. The green house held their training - by borrowing another school's field and we do get some 'good-natured' ribbing for our enthusiasm since we're the only team who did. The rest did theirs around and outside the school compound, along the road and wherever that may be.

Brought 3 pupils back home since we held the event at a secondary school nearby home, and it was way much convenient than having to go back and forth to school and fetch those kids. With the electricity off and my eyelids nearly shut, I was running out of ideas to keep the girls entertained. I asked them multiplication questions throughout the hours and finally I caved in as I was waiting for their answers. My mom was thoroughly delighted with the girls' presence and *gasp* told me that she would so like to have them back home >_>

So anyway, the next day. Green house went off for a good start. We got the first gold. Had to take the picture while we were still leading, hehehe.

Then our star long jumper was injured -_-* who also happened to be one of our relay runners. My hope went downhill from that point during the relay when we were the slowest for the 1st runner but perked up again as our 3rd and 4th runner managed to catch up with everyone. We won!!! For the relay la. I promised the girls for a treat at Skudai's McD if they got the first place. 2 did and 1 didn't. Treat time!!!




For all it's worth, we managed to climb a step to the 3rd placing which was great. There's always a next time ^_^
