. Quotable Quotes .

Obstacles are those frightening things that appear when we take out mind off our GOALS

Slow down and live..find your true joy before the day closes

When life doesn't give you the best, you have to make the best out of it

No matter how bad the storm is, there's a RAINBOW waiting

The BATTLE is not over till it is over

Limits exist only in the mind

At the end, it's not the years in your life that counts; it's the life in your years

A setback is an opportunity to begin more intelligently

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and cal lit hard names. It is not as bad as you think. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise

A smile is a curve that sets everything straight

I love who I am because I am who I am

When work is a pleasure, life is a joy; When work is a duty, life is a slavery

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going

Life is like riding a bicycle; you won't fall off unless you stop pedalling

Life is a kaleidoscope

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade

He that is down need fear no fall

人生是没有草稿的;每一天就像张昂贵的上乘好纸;不能信守随便涂鸦;要惜心对待它

天将降大任于世人也
必先苦其心志,
劳其筋骨,
饿其体肤,
空乏起身,
行拂乱其所为,
所以动心忍性,
增益其所不能。

yay!
cheers to my 1st week!
i survived!
although i feel like i've aged A LOT.
although fridays only have a total of 3 periods,
2 out of the 3 periods, i'll be dealing with the notorious classes of p3 and p6.
some have attention problems
others have attitude problems
a short half-hour period can be spent pulling the naughty kids out to stand beside me
and getting their books on their table
looks like i cant have fun and interesting lessons with the p3 class already
no videos for them because they're not behaving
looks like my p5 and p6 kids are like angels
i feel so lucky teaching Social Studies
because resources are readily available online
and there are interesting videos online
and i can use them to get their attention
from what i've observed, a lot are interested in guns, weapons, wars, fires.
haha
that's good
suits the SS chapters (:
it's so good to be able to knock off at lunch time
and i can go home and eat lunch
that means i don't spend much (except for the bus fare)
i think during gatherings now,
the question of "How's work?' will surely pop out.
and you will see people giving disgusted looks
jiayou everyone who're slogging their guts out!
we finally know why sometimes we think that studying and schooling are much better options than working!
hang in there!

quite glad and thankful today
lessons went much smoother this time round
with much fewer distractions.
gotta go find more videos to teach social studies
i think very few students/staff/teachers can pronounce my surname correctly/properly
some call me ms liu, mrs liu, mrs yiu
all sorts of interesting names
i didn't want to write my name on the board cos they don't know how to pronounce it anyway
so i just verbally told them
during class, one student even asked me if i have the song 'Sorry Sorry' by SJ.
hilarious lah.
the confusing and troublesome part is to fetch the students up from the canteen area after their recess times.
it's more for discipline and order
but quite tiring for teachers.
oh.and i lost my beloved mechanical pencil while i brought the class to PE.
sobs.my favourite pencil.
nevermind lah.at least today is quite successful i guess
cheers xinliang!
jiayou xinliang!

i want to vent my anger here like crazy but i know i can't
cos my blog is super easy to find
and if my employer sees what i've written
i'll be quite dead
im still angry.
i didn't mind being scammed the first time
but if it's the second time, and it's the same old problem
(communication breakdown)
then i really have no idea what's administration work for.
it's a total representation of a complete 'market' FAILURE.
it fails BIG TIME man!
inefficiency
miscommunication
irresponsibility
like what gel said, i've totally lost my trust in them
if it's not for the money, i guess i would have gladly accepted admin jobs from recruit express
and ditch this present one.
i really don't know what to expect from them now
and i just realise i'll be teaching some of the students whom i've relief-ed during a Chinese lesson
the super loud/vulgar ones
headache ah...
how come they can look like angels from the outside and devils from the inside?
are they really out to test RTs' patience?
i never did that to all the relief teachers who taught me before
(okay..i hated some of them cos they were completely useless..and my class didn't create a din)
and why am i having 现世报?
nevermind!
my ultimate aim for this stint will be to 融化 their hearts!
i will, i have to, i must!

finally decided to take up driving
actually it was my dad who insisted on me learning how to drive
i can totally imagine myself getting so confused over the gear lever
so much to do for a manual licence -.-
and now, this is the first time my dad can actually help in my 'school' work
gotta memorise and study the basic theory of driving
and dad knows it ALL!
yippee!

the scene of a sunflower field in Thailand shown in The Promise is really pretty!

1. If Xinliang were to become a school teacher, what would it be like for her?
A. A Pleasant Surprise
B. More Money
C. Wondering what to wear to school
D. All of the above

and yes! i got a job!
long-term relief teaching at Clementi Primary School!
long-term=3 months!
so i'll have to wake up as early as a normal school day

and i have a permanent tutee.
that means more work but more money!
haha

just hope that everything will go well!

went to watch philharmonic winds' concert with mummy yesterday!
my mummy is the best!
accompany me to watch band concert!
yoohoO!
though i didn't recognise the medley of beatles' songs,
i really like the medley of songs from Sound of Music
and the christmas songs!
not much classical songs.
really surprised to see that the people were queueing orderly outside the esplanade concert hall
really unheard of in singapore
and of course there were security guards and policemen on duty.
and did i mention that the concert is FOC? >.<
