《我的校园生活之调换的角色》
人生最快乐的时光无庸置疑就是求学的时段。学生的生涯因为功课和考试的压力，不能称得上是无忧无虑的。但是，比起上班族的生活，作为一个学生真的是人生一大快事。
小学对我而言，没有什么好留恋的。是中学和初院的学习生涯让我体会到了做学生的乐趣。交到更要好的朋友，遇到了更和蔼可亲的老师。在12年的求学经验里，其中最爱的班级就是中三、四和高一、二的班级。身为这两班的一分子，我感到很开心。她们让我看到了朋友与朋友之间的珍贵友谊。我也非常感谢老天爷把她们带进了我的生命里。
随着年龄的增长，老师的身份也渐渐地改变了。她们不再是高不可攀的长辈，而是与我们‘有说有笑’的朋友。老师们在我眼中最大的改变就是在初院的时期。这时的老师与我们的年龄相差没有那么大，也就没有所谓的代沟。他们能与我们打成一片，但即使如此，我们对老师还是有基本的尊重。
如今的我依然存在校园里，但已经卸下学生的身份而背上了老师的重任。以不同的身份走进课室里的感觉好奇怪哦！站在课室里教书而不是坐在课室里听课的身份调换的确需要时间去适应，也不是一两天能做得到的。
看着急着长大的学生，让我不禁微微一笑。他们可不知道自己是多么幸福喔！不用急，当你们踏入这个五花八门的社会时，即使你们不要长大，环境还是会逼迫你们长大的。为什么我知道？只因为我是一个过来人。
当上了一个老师让我从新认识了老师这个职业，变得不是那么抗拒进入这一行，但也不是有会立刻报名当老师。我发现其实老师这份工作最大的满足感来自于和学生的互动。你教到什么学生，就能奠定你的工作经验将会是好或坏的。从今年开始到现在，我教的学生都是天真无邪，非常可爱的中一生，但是也遇过根本不把老师放在眼里的野蛮学生。这一群就是让我十分讨厌这份工作的理由。如果你要我在接下来的30到40 年的工作经验里对着他们，你不如现在就拿我的命吧！
但幸好，我还有机会回到校园里，做我最喜欢的学生！我十分向往大学的生活，沉浸在只有做学生才能体会到的快乐与天真。每天望着日历，慢慢地倒数着，等待我恢复学生身份的那一天！
2nd essay :) the next essay would be a story and the inspiration came from one of my chinese teachers :) i'm crazy! 3 blog posts in one days :D

Watching drama serials recently made me have a suden craving to travel around the world. I once said that the best way to be able to travel ard the world and not pay for it was to be an air stewardess which is what i want to be after i graduate 4 years from now. dun laugh tho! if i dun become one, i eventually want to travel to at least 2 countries each year when i start working. i want to take my own sweet time and explore places. having grown up in a concrete jungle, i want to go to the countryside and enjoy nature. for now, the countries featured above are my top choices! :D
a happening weekend!
had a late lunch cum dinner with ruoyi, serene and sihui at amk hub. we at at ichiban! :D long time since i had jap food and i must proclaim my love for sushi once again! we were there from about 4.30 to 7, tucked away in a booth, oblivious to everything around us. therefore, we didnt notice the long quene outside. and we happily chatted away though most of the time we were gossiping about students and the stupid things that they do! was half an hour late for tuition cause it was raining cats and dogs when i left amk hub.
sat was the whole day out! kbox in the morn with joyce b4 going back st nicks for fun fair in the afternoon. hoho, that girl didnt recognise me even when i was standing in front of her! and i had to call her before she realise that it was me! oh mans! my voice has not recovered fully yet! why i know? cause i couldnt hit the high notes yest! it came out all squeaky! and so i didnt get to sing any female singer's songs and ended up singing all the male singers' songs. oh well, i still had a high time belting out song after song on the mike! :D there was a crazy bunch of girls in the room next to us! they were like having their own concert! when i walked past their room to go to the toilet, i saw them standing on the sofa! and they were really high!
went back st nicks ater kbox and we were overwhelmed by what we saw! they was uncle ringo's fun fair rides, arcade machines, x-box, contact lens, munchy donuts etc! it didnt look a single bit like a sec school fun fair! we didnt see any teachers and none of the 4dee pple :( class dinner was cancelled yest cause less than 10 pple could make it
went for dory's church service after fun fair. it was a new experience, something differnet from what i have been used to in my own church. and her church have nice pple who came up to talk to me.:) went for dinner at north point after the service. and we were gossiping and talking about senseless stuff.
i love meet-ups with frens :) after every gathering makes it feel that hey! my frens arent as out of my life as i thought. whenever we meet, it seems like we are back to our school days. :) meeting up with the hist girls in 2 weeks time :) yay!

《喜欢写作的我》
我喜欢写作，写出每一天的点点滴滴，记载人生的每一个阶段。对我而言，文字是一个奇妙的东西。简简单单的句子却能表达出如此生动的情感。
我喜欢写作，写出每一天的点点滴滴，记载人生的每一个阶段。对我而言，文字是一个奇妙的东西。简简单单的句子却能表达出如此生动的情感。
以前所写的文章都是因为要交作文而写的，从不是因为自己热衷于写作而提笔的。但上了初院之后，慢慢地对写作与文字产生了兴趣。常常喜欢收集有意义的名言，收集生动的句子。
网络上的篇章、图书馆里的小说、广播上的节目都是我发现优秀句子以及新鲜题材的管道，利用这些题材写出属于自己的文章。每当完成一篇文章时，心中总会有一股小小的成就感。你可以说我是一个“自恋狂”，因为我喜欢重复阅读自己的文章，细细品尝文字后面的情感。:D
写作也是抒发感情的好方法。藏在心灵最深处的感情三言两语就能表达出来。甚至难以开口的话也可以用文字代替，省下许多尴尬!每当心情沮丧的时候，总是在部落格上发牢骚，也就是我说的：记载人生的点点滴滴。多时以后，用着不一样的心态和角度去看同一样的文字，感觉一定很微妙吧！
我喜欢繁体字，比我们今天所用的简体字多一点点。但是，我会读不会写，算是一种“遗憾”吧!其实喜欢繁体字也没什么特别的原因，只因为我最爱的两个国家—台湾和香港用的都是繁体字哦！
世界上有很多默默无名的好作者，写出无数的好作品。世界上的“情”—友情、爱情、亲情在他们的笔下总是能被描述得如此的感人。所以，他们是我的学习对象！:)
我们脑袋的容量是有限的，不可能记得生命里的每一件事、每一份情。有些人选择以相片来记载他们的回忆，而我选择了文字。没什么特别，只因为这就是喜欢写作的“我”。
heh heh... this is the first essay that i was doddling while relief-ing a class. feel free to comments :D more coming up. [if i find time to write]... :D

happy happy day!
went back nanyang with ruoyi today to take her testimonial. ruoyi bluff me back with yu pian mi fen but she only told me this morn that the famous yu pian mi fen store is no longer there! :S to think that the yu pian mi fen that accompanied me through my jc days is not there anymore! boo hoo! it is equal to the orange bowl that accompanied me through my sec school days :D oh well...
nanyang was like a ghost town when we went back. mayb cause they having block test ba. and the teachers were MIA too. the only teacher that we saw was pio[dunno how to spell his surname :D] and we asked his opinion about ntu and nus only to rmb that he didnt go to a local uni ^_^" and seq and miss kwok was trying to convince us that NUS is better cause its more established. in the end, mr sequeira smuggled us into the staffroom to find the chinese teachers but only lin and zhuang lao shi was there. they gave me another factor to consider in trying to decide between ntu and nus. and that is the fact that nus's modules are more trad while ntu's modules are more modern.
if i went to NUS, i will have a lot of company :) prac all my frens are applying for NUS's FASS, plus my dear cousin is at NUS too and she is practically dragging me into NUS cause she said its the only way that she can get to stay in hostel-- if i become her roommate! her mum and my mum think alike. :S

Happy Easter!
it has been a long weekend and one that i made good use for! i have been slacking at home and acting like a no bone jelly fish on the sofa watching my idol dramas! it has been a long time since i got hooked onto an idol drama! :) gd fri was a 2.5 hours long mass in the morn and today's easter mass was the usual one hour mass. whoo hoo! i love easter songs! :) so chirpy and happy :D

it is the end of a chapter in life and the start of another.
the release of the A level results signals the final end of my jc chapter in life. there was a gd start and there was a gd closure. i was super tensed the whole day and looking at the clock constantly.
i was super tense the whole day and constantly looking at the clock and counting the hours and mins before the release of results. i had to bury myself in the marking of students books to make myself forget!
looking at the subject by subject analysis made my tense-up muscles lossen a little. chinese, history had 100% passes while econs had about 98% passes. the number of pple going on stage for 3 distinctions were many! and congrats to Dory who has done super well with 3As! :)
after that, we proceeded to the atrium to get our results slips from our ct. it was then that my heart started pounding like crazy again and i almost tumbled down the stairs because my legs were wobbly!
when mr mao handed me the results slip, i jumped back one big step simply because i didnt dare to look at my results.i was looking and mr mao and asking him "good not？" it was only after mr mao smiled and said "good lah" that i dared to look at my result slip. the moment i looked at it, i let out a scream and the tears jus came shooting out! i cleared my A levels! it was tears of relief after studying for so many months. but i wasnt crying non stop, it stopped after a while.
there were pple crying and jumping and screaming all ard me. there were joys and there were sadness. to my frens who done well, congrats! you are onto another chapter of your life. to my frens who feel disappointed or angry with their results, dun despair. there are too many factors that are beyond our control during the exams. chin up and look forward. i'm sure that there is already something planned for you somewhere out there :)

yest was my last day and well there were mixed feelings. much as i have always wanted to get out of the place that has been giving me nothing but sai gang to do for the past 3 weeks, i still must say that i will miss the pple there.
chinese department, other than the fact that everyone there is at least 10 years older than me and that they can super gossipy at some times and that they dun give me proper teaching jobs, they are nice people. the one who i can get along most with would be zhi zhong who happens to be 6 years older but acts like 6 years younger than me! hahas... he is leaving at the end of term 2 and he kept trying to get me to stay by saying things like "人多好办事","you really leaving ar?" and on and on. too bad... i'm leaving! :D
1e2. the class that i have been following since the beginning of my internship. i'm really glad that i got them as my first teaching class. they are responsive and fun... tho they really like to owe hw... but oh well, 他们真的是很可爱的一群。:)
sheue ying... my companioon for the past 2 months. there are fun times and times when i really feel like strangling her :s hahas... oh yeah, was yest the last time that we would see each other?the future remains as a mystery :)
next week would be starting at a new sch... i hope the students that i get wouldn be the terrors taht i have seen who throw chairs and tables across the classrooms. -shudders-
