something happened on friday morning that made me very upset.
it was the mass exercise in the morning, whereby the whole workplace will be involved in physical activity for an hour. the objectives are to encourage everybody to lead a healthy lifestyle through exercising, and to nurture active and engaged individuals through a holistic health program.
i was in charge of the mass exercise, and i divided the students into two groups. the lower sec students went up to the hall, and the upper sec students were at the parade square.
because the upper sec students were a tougher group to motivate, i took that group and let my other pe colleague take the lower sec group at the hall.
and the disaster begins for me. the mic volume at the parade square was very soft. the music volume was also very soft. and the upper sec students were really not motivated. when i was leading the mass dance, most of them, especially the boys, folded their arms and look at me "perform".
however, what upsets me most, is that majority of the colleagues all stood at the back and did not do anything. it is ok that if you do not want to exercise. but the minimum thing that you can do is to instill discipline in your class, getting the students organised.
but of course i will shoulder the whole blame, because the mass exercise is not interesting enough and hence it doesnt engage the students. i will definitely review the whole thing and make sure such an incident wont happen again.
as a result i was very emo the whole day. going for dance practise didnt help, because DLS was in a cranky mood and made the atmosphere so tense. i felt better during the supper session with darling and the dancers.
after the supper i drove xuehong and his family to mustafa centre for midnight shopping. they are really crazy! i am already so tired and they still have the energy to shop. now i know why xuehong is alwys so energetic whenever it comes to shopping. it lies in the family!
it is already sunday, and it is a cooling sunday. i shall now look "forward" to monday. but knowing that next week is the week before cny makes me feel a bit better. :)
