tuesday post

shit i think i kenna retribution already.

for the first 3 weeks of my practicum, i had been going home at around 1345 to 1430 on mondays to thursdays. fridays i went home at 1230.

but for last week and this week, i have been leaving the sch at 5 pm, because i must stay back and conduct NAPFA re-test for the students who failed. wah lao damn tiring. but nvm, since i got just 3 more days, i shall persevere on, and next week onwards i will return back to heaven.

anyway i din manage to get my hall stay for this coming academic year, so i shall be travelling to and fro between tampines and boon lay. damn shag. and out of five days, every wed and fri i will travel to nus from nie. maybe i will also choose one day per week to go to darling's house to have dinner with her.

today i was having lunch with two fellow practicum trainees. one of them was telling me his personal experience with a pai gia student, which is the worst case i have ever heard.

i think i shall not mention this incident here, so those who wanna hear it can just ask me personally.

btw 3 new contract teachers just came in to join the sch, and one of them is quite chio, and she happened to be from dance synergy! haha wat a coincidence. she is also quite shocked that i am from nus chinese dance. and she told me that when she walk past the classes she can hear the boys whistling at her. this shows how shallow and crude boys are these days. remember the prostitute joke? haha.

oh yah let me share a funny conversation in a sec 2 normal academic class, and that lesson is CME, and the topic is SEX EDUCATION.

teacher ask the class: what do you call girls who anyhow sleep with men?

boys: CHEAP SLUTS!

teacher ask the class: what do you call boys who anyhow sleep with girls?

girls: HORNY BASTARDS!

take note that these are sec 2 students. crude.

i hope i wun have any conflicts or any bad things that will happen to me for the next 3 days. i just want to tide over these 3 days peacefully, and leave the sch with a positive experience. buddha bless me, ah mi to fo.

a tribute to michael jackson

This is the official clip from BOUNCE & Friends.

More than 300 dancers met at 15.30, got informed and then learned the choreography in 30 min.

Less then 1 hour later they performed it.

A big thank you to all the dancers who made this possible....*




and this is another clip of michael jackson - his best ever moonwalk.




the MJ phenomenon is really crazy. all the vcd shops are showing clips of his concert. cd shops are playing his songs.

saturday post

nzj commented that my blog posts are not very frequent right now, as compared to last time when i blog almost everyday. well its just because my life right now is actually quite monotonous and there is really nothing much to blog about.

anyway, here's the video of our dance practise on wednesday. the super shag, intensive and tiring dance. i think the music is superb, but because the music is too superb, some of us feel stressed because we may not be able to dance out the essence required of this music.

seriously i feel quite inferior when dancing with them. all of them are so power packed and have been dancing for so many years. maybe fooshin is in the same league as me, but in terms of strength, 身韵 and 弹跳力 he is better than me. so i can go eat shit. hahaha. but i hope that i can improve by dancing with these power packed dancers.

ok let's talk about sch stuff. some of you maybe clueless about what i do everyday, so let me give a brief introduction, if you are interested to know. i can only say that my 4 weeks in b_dok v_ew (one more week to go) is quite a heaven, as compared to my one year of hell in ten-penis.

my CT (cooperating teacher) is a very nice guy, and he is also super lao jiao. all the students respect him alot. by the way when all nie trainees go to schools for practicum, they will be allocated a CT. its like i am the disciple, and my CT is my 师父. he taught me alot of stuff and gave me lots of feedback on my teaching. so i am really glad to have him as my CT, so i dun mind having him again if i happen to post back to b_dok v_ew again next year for the 10 weeks of practicum.

so every week, i will have nine PE classes. i am teaching 4 sec 1 classes solely on my own, and i am teaching them badminton. the other 5 classes i am assisting my CT in teaching. actually i am following exactly his time-table. out of his 9 PE classes, i will have to teach at least 40 percent of his classes, and he is very nice to give me all his sec 1 classes, because secondary one students are the most 乖, most 听话, and most cute. i seriously enjoyed teaching my sec 1 classes.

one thing i like about b_dok v_ew is their sports facilities. they have an indoor sports hall, and the sports hall have one sheltered basketball court, and 4 badminton courts. wow!!!

actually badminton is not a very ideal sport to teach during curriculum, because space is always a constraint. imagine 40 students sharing 4 badminton courts. therefore i have to maximise space as much as i can.

on friday, our nie supervisor came down to observe and grade our lessons. btw, for the pe student teachers, we are sent in pairs to the schs to do our practicum. so my "buddy" is this guy called shi an. he is very funny and crazy, same age as me, but the thing is he is already married, and has a daughter who is already 6 months old! and he is waiting for his hdb flat, which will be ready next year. haiz same age as me but already so many years ahead of me in getting married and starting his own family. so should i get settled down as early as possible? hahaha.

so our prof observed my badminton lesson, and for shi an is netball. if you ask whether are we nervous, actually we are not. we just want to get it over and done with. and our prof is really a very nice guy, who nv give us any stress or pressure, so we are very comfortable with him.

after observing us, he gave us alot of feedback on how we can improve our lessons. he said that sec one students may not be able to hold the badminton rackets properly/correctly because of their biomechanical fators. so he suggested using PAPER PLATES to substitute the rackets! this is called modify equipment to encourage success. haha. and he suggested that because previously he saw one of his students doing that so he was very impressed.

and he said that i am very regimental, and wants alot of control over my classes, and i treat the kids like i am running an army. hahahaaha. so he said that i should give up some control, because when kids come for pe class, they want to have an outburst of energy after being cooped in a classroom for so long. he mentioned that being organised is a good thing, but its ok to have students in chaos, so long it must be ORGANISED CHAOS. wow. a bit hard to visualise wat is organised chaos. haha.

finally, he told us that our CTs and the pe dept hod likes the both of us, so there is a high chance for us being posted back to the same sch for our second practicum, and even our final posting! actually i dun mind being posted there, although i also will have a strong feeling that i will be posted back to ten-penis. but i dun mind being posted to either sch, just dun post me to b_dok town can already, because i heard that the sch is a "prison" sch, with many gangsters and problematic kids. in each level, there is only one express class, 5 normal acad classes, and 4 normal tech classes. so you can imagine how bad it is, only 4 express classes in the whole sch. i think i will die there within one month if i really get posted there. so let's keep my fingers crossed on my final posting.

friday is also a very special day. its me and darling's 33 months anniversary! :)

its an amazing 33 months for the both of us, with ups and downs, but of course there are more ups than downs. after work, i went to darling's house for dinner, and we spent the night studying advanced driving test together, because darling will be having her test the next morning, and she passed! yay!!! our anniversary day gave us luck for both my observation and her test. haha.

darling, i noe you like tulips, so we are together for 33 months, 33 x 30 days = 990, so i am giving you 990 tulips.

hopefully this tulip farm has 990 tulips, or even more than that. happy anniversary darling! :)

wednesday post

time flies and its now my 4th week at b_dok vi_w. next week will be my last week already, and next next week i will be back at nie! i miss my classmates alot. haha.

so today me and my colleagues were sharing some jokes. let me share the jokes with my dear readers.

first one: 洞房花烛夜。猜中国的两个城市。

.

can guess the answer?

well the answer is 开封 and 洛阳. if you dunno why this two are the answers, THINK DIRTY. haha.


second one: ten naked men lying on the street. guess the name of the street.

answer: tampines (ten penis)

-------------------------------------------------

yes, let us mould the future pillars of the nation. god bless. ah mi to fo.

there was dance practise tonight at nus, and i must say that the guys' segment is damn bloody shag. we have to dance 4 minutes and halfway through we were already panting and shag like hell. and i think the 水袖 is very hard to catch properly. i need lots of practise with it. :(

more pics from BUTS

ballet under the stars @ fort canning park

BUTS (ballet under the stars) was held at fort canning park last weekend. the audience area was actually a big grass field, where pple lay their picnic mats on the field and watch the dance performance.

the actual performance starts at 730 pm, but from 630 to 730 there is a pre-show, whereby dance groups are invited to perform, for eg SOTA, NAFA, nus dance synergy and of course nus chinese dance. the item put up by nus chinese dance is none other than "Shattered", choreo-ed by michael.

before going to BUTS, i went to darling's house first to make egg mayo sandwiches for our picnic. darling also toasted some sausages. after that we took a cab to fort canning park.

michael told us to come earlier than 5 pm because spaces on the field were taken up very fast. xue hong arrived earliest at 430 pm. darling and i were the second to arrive at 445 and we quickly expanded our territory.

so while waiting for the pre-show to start, i taught everyone how to play "minimizer". its a very fun game that was taught to me during my outdoor camp. at taiwan i also played this game with zhenhong and kc. at malacca i also played it with leow, mak and dashimon. and at BUTS, i am playing this game too! haha.

so instead of the usual forfeit of doing crunches or push ups, we have to do dance poses instead. presenting to you, the various dance poses:

some of these poses look familiar rite? haha.

finally the pre-show started. shattered was the 3rd item.

(sexy backs and sexy legs~)

personally, i feel that some parts of the item was a bit messy. and i did not feel the impact from the item that it was supposed to portray. probably because i watched it quite a few times. hopefully the rest of the audience who din watch the item before will feel the impact.

the whole dance performance put up by singapore dance theatre was magnificient. all the dancers' techniques and skills 当然是好倒没话说. so let me say about other random stuff. haha.

the female dancers are so lean, and one of them is like a body builder with super well-defined muscles, just that her muscles are not the bulky type but the lean type, if you noe wat i mean. and a few of them have really really LONG legs.

as for the guys, they have incredible strength despite being so lean. and their groins are very big, but fen says that its because they are wearing something to support the groin, so that makes the groin look big. hahahaha.

but seriously, if you ask me whether will i want to watch BUTS nx year, i will seriously consider carefully, because singapore's weather is too humid, and i was perspiring non-stop throughout the whole performance. unless singapore has winter, then i will go watch next year. having said that, the probability of me going is equal to zero. hahaha.

saturday post

i bought 2 new aqua titan necklaces from ebay. one for myself, and the other one for darling.

this picture was taken in my dad's car, and we were at causeway point shopping centre carpark. went to watch harry potter and the half-blood prince. the movie didnt quite impress me, cos its missing too many important details, for example how did tom riddle get hold of the horcruxes. anyway, it cant be helped, cos it is a movie and cannot 交代 every single thing in the book, so if you can get hold of the book, do read it.

joke or insult?

today i went to a sec 3 class to do relief. i was chatting with a small group of students. and then they started telling me jokes.

here's one of them, which i think is quite classic.

Boy: once upon a time, there are 3 girls. and they want to become prostitutes. but before they become prostitutes, they have to go inside a room to undergo a test.

My inner thoughts: (i have a feeling hw and dashimon will love this kind of joke)

Boy: so the first prostitute went inside the room. the prostitute is blindfolded. there is a man inside the room. the man take out a feather duster, and stuff the feather duster into her ass. the man ask the first prostitute to guess the object correctly, if not she cannot become a prostitute. and she really guess it correctly! so she passed the test and become a prostitute.

My inner thoughts: (sec 3 boys nowadays are getting more and more crude)

Boy: the second prostitute went into the room, and was blindfolded. the man take out a MOP, and stuff it into the prostitute's ass, and ask the prostitute to guess wat is the object. and she also guessed it correctly, so she also passed the test.

My inner thoughts: (so is which end of the mop? ok nvm it doesnt matter)

Boy: now the third prostitute went into the room. the man take out something, that one which police use to hit criminal, ehhhh wat is that ah?? alamak i forgot already...

My inner thoughts: (police baton lah. wassup with you man.)

Girl: baton?

(roar of laugher)


.




.


Boy to Girl: CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE THE THIRD PROSTITUTE!!!


My inner thoughts: -_-'''

anyway the girl din cry or wat. that small group of friends are best buddies. so to the pple who wanna use this joke on your friends, make sure your friends 玩得起, if not things will turn sour.

eating ramen at tampopo

went to fetch my sister at terminal 1 yesterday midnight. she bought 2 packets of hua lien muah chee, 4 boxes of 太阳饼, 2 boxes of 凤梨酥, alot of starbucks collectibles, alot of clothes, and alotalotalot of facial masks. she bought for me a tshirt, bought for darling some facial masks, and bought a pair of couple figurines for the both of us. thank you sis! :)

this evening i went to liang court with darling. we went to tampopo for dinner, and their sushi is very expensive, but their ramen's price is more acceptable, and taste damn good. how expensive is expensive? for example, two pieces of tamago sushi cost 5 bucks. that time when i was working in genki it cost 1.80. maybe the portion at tampopo is bigger, or maybe the egg they use for the tamago come from phoenix, i dunno. but anyway you get my point.

so we ordered our ramen, and while waiting for the food to come, we took some pics. :)

the figurines that my sis bought for us

darling look extremely pleased with the figurines

and our ramen came! yummy yummy!

用料实在，汤头很甜，面条够Q，好吃到没话说~

our dessert:


the cakes are damn fluffy, soft and superb! but very ex. one piece like that cost 5.80. -.-'''

ok that's the end of my post, and also coming to the end of sunday. 3 more weeks of attachment at bed_k vi_w! jia you!!!

oh btw i will be watching BUTS with darling on sunday night. jia you shattered dancers!

pics from amy's wedding

these are the pics from amy's wedding, which i attended two weeks ago.

both the newly weds are vegetarians, so they had their wedding dinner inside a temple. i had a hard time looking for the place, cos initially i thought it was a vegetarian restaurant. luckily i called one of my classmates and she told me its a temple. -.-'''

the vegetarian dishes are not too bad. got different varieties. got mock unagi, mock abalone, mock meat, mock octopus, and all those veges, mushrooms and noodles.

my friend is amazed that i can see these dishes as unagi, abalone or meat, cos to him, is all ten dishes of flour and vege. hahahaha.

my sister is coming back home tonight from taiwan! and she wrote on my facebook that her luggage is 35 kg! wah biang damn kua zhang. mine was only about 20 kg. let's see what stuff she bought.

爱也好恨也好

have been chasing this drama, ever since i watched it the first time at darling's house. at first i thought that the drama is a bit too "soapy" for my liking, but after watching a few more episodes, i fount myself liking it even more. :p

姜白虎 has to be the most favourite leading character in this drama, but knowing that i dun post guy photos, i shall post photos of 罗丹凤 instead, who is 姜白虎's gf in the drama. hahahaha.

she is not those super chio or super hot female celebrity, but i think she is lovely in her own way. she got into showbiz in 2001, when she entered some modelling competition and won some special award for dunno wat.

watching the drama until this point in time, i have a few advice for my guy friends, who are single, or attached.

1) if you are single, and you like someone, persevere on, and who noes, there will be a happy ending.

2) even if you are single, and even the girl that you like is of cindy crawford or megan fox calibre, still must let her noe that you like her, so she can consider you as an option, if all the justin timberlakes or zac efrons die.

3) if you are attached, and you and your gf are seriously deeply in love, dun do something bastard by breaking up with her by marrying someone you dun really love, just because that someone's father is the big boss of a big company, which will help you big time in your career

4) if you are attached, but you are in a 地下情 with the girl, just come out from the tunnel and show the whole world that both of you are in love. 地下情 is like damn 辛苦. love is meant to be shown, not to be hidden.

ok i noe this post is a bit random. haha.

but anyway, tomorrow is friday! this two weeks have gone so fast, and now i am left with 3 more weeks of practicum. yes! but seriously, i quite like bed_k view. i think i will miss the place when i leave.

tuesday post

everytime when i go to my blog, the first thing that i see is the big face of mr kuang, which is quite a turn off (although i am the champion that put up that pic in the first place), so i decided to write something now, as i rather see words appear compared to his face. hahahahaha.

yesterday was youth day holiday, and i am so thankful for that. i went for spa with mr leow and mr mak. the spa is at roxy square. pls do not think that its a dirty spa. its totally legal and clean. i paid 76 dollars, which includes a one hour massage, and unlimited usage of the spa facilities, all the way until the spa closes, which is 11 pm.

so when we reach the spa at around 245 pm, we strip naked (OH GOSH!!!), and changed into the boxers that is provided by the spa. then we go soak ourselves inside the jacuzzi. and then we went inside the sauna. i stayed in the sauna for ten minutes and cannot tahan already, so i went out to catch a breather. i was feeling a bit hungry, so i went to the food area to see what they have. their menu for the day is 宫保鸡丁饭 and 鱼圆米粉汤. so i ordered the 宫保鸡丁饭. ate finish, and then i sat at one of the many sofas, and read newspapers, while waiting for our turn to get a massage.

after the massage, we went to the movie theatrette to watch some dvds. and then we went to soak into the jacuzzi again. and then we hungry again, so we went to eat dinner, and i ordered the 宫保鸡丁饭 again, cos its really quite nice. after dinner, we watched 爱也好恨也好 on channel u. and then we go soak into the jacuzzi again for about ten minutes, went to bathe, and left the spa at around 830 pm. i think the 76 bucks is quite worth it.

now let's talk about my workplace. the pe department hired dance instructors from external vendors to teach the sec 2 students hip hop for 8 weeks, and at the end of this dance module, the sec 2 students have to showcase a dance performance to the whole school.

and i can only say that the dance lesson is CHAOS. complete CHAOS. one, the space was too cramped, due to a small venue and many students. and the students were too rowdy. and most of the students were too shy, especially the boys, who thinks that dance is "gu niang". actually i can understand them, because during my sec sch and jc days, i also thought that dance is "gu niang", and i always make it a point to siam the jc mass dance sessions whenever i can.

actually i have thought of standing in front of the whole sch, teaching them wushu or folk dance during ACES (all children exercise simultaneously) day, but after today's traumatic experience, i better think twice.

nuscd's official photographer mr kuang is shaving his hair for the children's cancer foundation!

为我点盏灯 将我心照亮

从你的手中 我感觉希望

有你在心中 更加温暖

你微笑是我灿烂的阳光

this song reminds me of my hall days, when every morning i go for breakfast, i will like to put alot of condensed milk into my cup of coffee, and upon seeing that, ang hw will always sing that song for me.

man u jersey 09/10

this is the new man u jersey for the new season.

i think it looks lovely! i like the black color v shape portion. :)

a shop at queensway shopping centre is selling it at a special price of 99 dollars! should i buy?

think i better not. i went to count the jerseys that i have, and it adds up to a grand total of 36!!! which means i can wear a different jersey everyday for one month! that is kinda extreme. haha.

and man u bought michael owen!!! wow this is really a shock transfer. seriously i have my doubts over michael owen, due to his niggling injuries, but being a man u fan, of course i hope he can play well and score many goals for man u next season.

cool video clips from beijing dance academy

xuehong and nzj went to beijing, and both of them made a trip to 北京舞蹈学院, which happened to be the dance academy that produce my nuscd teachers ding hong and zhou lei as outstanding graduates.

both xuehong and nzj wanted to go and watch a dance performance that was put up by the graduating students, but apparently there was some cock up, and amazingly, or miraculously, or magically, xuehong whipped out some outstanding mandarin that impressed some lady, and the lady let them in. or maybe xuehong Confounded that lady (read or watch harry potter if you dunno wat that means), that would definitely make harry potter, dumbledore or voldermort proud. and the lady brought them to the seats at the second row, where they can film the performance, which benefit the whole nuscd community, or anyone that reads nzj's blog.

ok i wun make a detailed analysis of every single clip like wat nzj did. but i will just give a quick sum up, with my limited vocabulary:

IMPRESSIVE. FABULOUS. BREATH-TAKING. IMPOSSIBLE. AMAZING. ORGASMIC.

i guess all these six words are enough to let you watch the clips rite? but if you really have no time to watch all the clips, just at least watch the last clip. you will be thrilled.






the finale:


seriously speaking, watching them dance and do those crazy spins, gravity-defying stunts makes me proud that i do chinese dance.

BUT, at the same time, i am embarassed to use the "chinese dance dancer" label on myself.

if you wanna see more clips, can go to nzj's blog.
