friday post

so many things happened this week. 


on wednesday i went to SOTA for a workshop on performing arts. the SOTA building is very beautiful, the school environment is so vibrant, which i think all teachers and students will look forward to go to school everyday. three quarter through i siam the place because i have to go to singapore conference hall for a site visit for my workplace 25th year anniversary celebration.


on thursday i was very happy because i presented the performance proposal to batman and he likes my idea and he approves it. he also added in alot of his ideas because he is also a performing arts person, and he has many experience in organising stage productions.


but as when i was happy i became down again, because i received a complaint from a parent that i let her child do sit ups on a hard concrete floor, which will hurt her backbone. and the second complaint that i got is during the shot put lesson, i did not ask my students to LOCK THE WRIST when throwing the shot put. to be honest i did not tell them to lock the wrist lah. i only told them to rotate their trunk, arms out straight when throwing, and if you use your right arm to throw your left leg must be in front.


what really angers me is that she asked whether am i a trained pe teacher. and i told her proudly that i graduated from nie pess. grrrrr.


towards the end of the conversation she told me that she hoped she is not too demanding.


and i must 声明 that i did not apologise to her. i used polite phrases like "ok thank you for your feedback", "oh ok", "yah can". 


one month and a few days into the job as a form teacher and i got my first complaint. good start hor? 


today was crazy because i have deadlines to meet and i have to prepare the teaching stuff for the next three weeks because i am not in sch! i will be away for reservist!


but i was happy because students asked me to take care, come back in one piece, and 好好保重,好好照顾自己. one boy most champion, tell me to 一路顺风. hahahaha.
