Happy Teacher's Day........................

I cannot believe it. I've actually been teaching for 2 semesters! Time really flies..............I've been in the school for 5 months! This is the first job where I stay the longest. (quite ashamed)

This week is the last week of the school term and it's Teacher's day at end of the week. I'm mentally prepared not to receive any presents from the students cos' I've been an 'AP' (attitude problem) teacher. But to my surprise, I received quite a few today!

One students even bought me a small bouquet of plastic flowers. I ...........dun now how to react to them and their presents. >_<

One thing I have to say abt this student who gave me the bouquet. Dunno how I look in her eyes cos everytime when my lessons end and they are going for their recess or going home, while walking past me, she like to hug me! (?????)

Dunno isit cos I'm quite plump, so I'm like some koala bear, so very nice to hug....

Hope you guys are doing well this semster!

PS: if my English entrance test still fail, I intend to try one last time. If that fails again, I may consider gg Ngee Ann Poly to take CHildhood education and be childcare teacher.

My answers from the quiz.......................

hahaahah......I've went to take the quiz Shiya recommended. But I forgot to put it up.
So here's what I got:

You are tending to pursue your objectives with concentrated intensity and it would seem that whatever obstacles may come into your path, you will stick to your guns and will not allow yourself to be deflected from your purpose. You are striving to achieve recognition and what is more - you deserve it.You are a very warm and emotional individual but unfortunately in the past too many people have taken advantage of this sensitive trait.

You need aesthetic surroundings, or an equally sensitive and understanding partner with whom to share a warm understanding. You wear your heart on your sleeve and since you are an emotional person you are apt to give your all - heart and soul - to all those that show you a little affection; but take care - it would appear that you have been extremely hurt in the past and you keep leaving yourself wide open for punishment.Setback after setback has resulted in considerable stress and now you have got to the stage where you are continuously on your guard, not only to protect yourself from others but to protect yourself from yourself.

It would seem that many of your unfulfilled hopes and dreams have led to uncertainty and suspicion. You no longer wish to answer to others and you are insisting on freedom of thought. You feel that you are fully self-sufficient and can control your own destiny. You are seeking ways to protect yourself from further loss of prestige and against further setbacks.

You have become very dependent and you doubt that matters could possibly get any better in the immediate future and this negative attitude is leading you to exaggerate your claims and to refuse reasonable compromise.You don't like authority and you rebel against all forms of limitation. You are your own person and you intend to stay that way and to get on in the world simply by your hard work and determination. ~END~



PS: Quite true actually. hhahahha.

Hey Frenz,

I did the quiz that Shiya provided... Erm, I am not sure what i meant. Only ask me to MOVE..
But I agree I dont like to be restricted. I like to explore and have my own limitless boundaries.

Shiya- your analysis makes me feel like u r in depression..like v sad within. I think u should love yourself more and give yourself less stress.

Caizhuang - I think u r facing so many problems with the kids is bcos u dont have proper training. So I think u will be a much better educator when U have completed NIE training.



Share with you all my analysis :-

Your mind is never at rest.You are continually striving to influence all those about you. You have some excellent ideas but you persist in trying to persuade others just how great your ideas really are. Maybe you are trying too hard. Take it easy - remember, 'Everything comes to those who wait'.

You are very orderly, methodical and self sufficient. You demand and need the respect, recognition and understanding of all those who enter into your sphere on influence.You give the impression that you are a self-sufficient individual, pretending that you are stoical - indifferent to pain or pleasure.

But this is not so, for in truth you are an extremely emotional person, one that may make hasty decisions and perhaps repent at leisure. It is time now perhaps to break the bond of detachment and become the real 'you' - the you that you would like to be.You are being unduly influenced by the situation that is all around you.

You do not like the feeling of loneliness and whatever it is that seems to separate you from others. You know that life can be wonderful and you are anxious to experience life in all its aspects, to live it to the full. You therefore resent any restriction or limitations that are being imposed on you and you insist on going it alone.

You are anxious about all the limitations to which you are subjected to at this time. You feel that you are not valued for what or who you are. You need OUT. So why procrastinate any longer - MOVE!

Not so good for me..............

Dear Shiya, have read your post. Haiz............ dun take things too hard. there's ups and downs in life. maybe you are in unversity right now, and that's why you are worried for your future. Cos after spending so much money on education, you would want to have a bright future to prove that you money is well spent issnt it?

Dun think you are alone in this. I belivee Mildred and the rest feel the same as well. Same for me also.

These 2 weeks, I feel like crying or worse still, make the children cry! They are giving so much nonsense. I still got a long way to go.

I think being a teacher in class, with so many pairs of eyes looking at you, you must know how to carry yourself. Cos in their eyes, you are an adult, not a small kid! Though I'm still not fully developed yet. hahaahaha.............

So I'm in the same situation as you. Dun give up hope yet. Cos you are not alone. YOu can call anyone of us if you want to . Even if you must want to talk nonsense and let off your steam.

~gg crazy also~

about me....

came across this website thru fren's blog and did a small exercise...i think what it says abt me is pretty true..probably u guys want to have a try... http://www.paulgoldinresearch.com/cg/index.htm

My Complete Personal Profile:
You are a very sensitive person and you try hard (perhaps a little too hard) to make favourable impressions and to be recognised by your peers. But you have that inherent need to feel appreciated and admired and you are easily hurt if all of your endeavours go by unappreciated or not acknowledged. Stop trying so hard.

You seem to lack the energy of late to get up and go. Your objectives appear to be unattainable and no one seems to care. You feel lost, neglected and need some W.T.C. (Warm tender care).

Everything seems to have gone wrong and the situation at this time is such that you are not quite sure which way to turn. So it would appear that you are 'holding back', re-consolidating your position and relinquishing all fun and games for the time being.

For some time now your hopes and expectations have been denied and because of this you are becoming withdrawn and introverted. Continual disappointment has manifested itself in you becoming both suspicious and restrained you have become withdrawn from others and have receded more and more into yourself. You seem to have lost your innate enthusiasm and imaginative nature, for fear that you may be carried away by it only to find that you are wasting your time. You are loath to trust people, as in the past your trust has been misplaced. You seem to be keeping yourself cautiously aloof from others. At this moment in time your attitude is to trust nobody - until they can prove themselves to you.

You are presently worried about your future and you feel that whatever you do will go wrong. At this time you are your own worst enemy. All the disappointment that you have experienced, coupled with the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals, have led to anxiety. You would like recognition and a position of trust but you are concerned that these hopes and dreams may not be realised. You are very argumentative and insistent that you are right - maybe you are - but you are pushing too hard. Take it easy, let go, and smile. Smiling and agreeing with people works wonders - try it and see.
