Dear Diary,
Today i "reliefed" a sec 4 normal class and i didn't feel like vomitting. Haha. You know the normal relief classes that i remember is always boring, waste of time and a great opportunity to sleep.haha. Hence i did not want to make my class an exception!!
I instructed them to OTOT and revise for their upcoming exams, and ask me any questions of any subjects and i would try to help as much as possible. I thought they would then leave me alone and chatter among themselves but i was surprised i suddenly became very popular!!
You know, you'd be surprised by the eagerness of some normal academic students to learn every bit they can from the teacher(if you appear approachable) and listens to you attentively. And even as on of them had sleepy eyes, i saw his effort to keep awake (or maybe the guy just had red eyes. hmmm...). I am impressed and touch by these few pupils.
Infact one of them is so good, his recent results reflected A1s and he is taking A math!! I went to congratulate him and encouraged him to strive harder. And he looked thankful....
Someone said he had kelly to encourage him behind the scenes (kelly poon the superstar, not kelly pooh yah) and somehow i blurted out that i happen to know this other guy superstar. Very talented, almost won the thing but didnt. When they knew i know him, they wouldnt believe me. Thay i was trying to pull their legs hard!! haha...thay wanted to me to bring his photo, asked lots of questions about him etc. Quite amusing i would say. haha..kids....
And of cos...there are lame jokers of the class. They had those ballooony-laterns shaped into Mr Incredible, spiderman, superman, what have you; and they couldnt stop playing with it. My goodness...you should see how i scolded them the second time. It was pure silence. haha quite amusing..haha i'm a sadist. Two of the lame clowns were excelptional. They were what i would describe as mischevious and yet so easily smiled upon. haha this is how they asked me about a meaning of a word..........
" 'Cher! 'Cher! What is the meaning of the word 'AH'?"
"Huh? What AH? What kind of word is that?"
" You know AH? A...W...E...that one la"
"That is AWE (pronunciation emphasized)!!"
*Giggles from other classmates*
" (tries to pronounce it again) Ya whats the meaning of ORH? Is like WAH~~?"
( I contemplated on how to explain the word to them)
"YOu know 'Cher'..like when you see alot of money you go WOAH~~ OH~~ WAH~~"
*classmates laugh laugh laugh*
haha i was controlling myself big time not to laugh can. haha that 2 guys huh...hiyo...talk like coffeeshop uncle. Imagine them when they tried to pronounce the word "reverend" and all the other words...i feel like fainting man..haha...
and they like to make STUPID LAME jokes !!
like for example a "joke" made by some sec 1 boy, "Cher!! you know why he's a gay? Cos he's handsome" *hahahaha...laughed the kids*
I wanted to slap my forehead man!!!
Of cos i cant do that. i would look stupid. so i just rolled my eyes la....
Den later in the day i had to invigilate some exam. When the time ended i instructed them to put their pens down write their names on every paper, tie them up together bla bla bla....NO MORE WRITING. haha but then one lousy unlucky guy kena caught by my trying to squeeze in the last few words( it was A maths paper) and i shouted across "SIR. What are you doing?"
Waaa you can see all the eyes turn around to stare at him...then u can see his frigthten face lookin back at my stern face. Den i soften down and said "I expect no more writing! if i catch another person writing he/she shall not ......(pause)...(tires to find the word).... (with weaker conviction, said) have the papers marked. haha now that i think back...the word is "disqualified". haha...o well....poor kid. frightened or not he has got to learn that this is serious.
*shruggs*
