Yesterday was the teacher's day celebration at PSS and jooting asked me to wake up early and meet her at 9am to go back to school. But then when i went down to meet her at 9am, i called her and she said "hello" in a sleepy tone. I KNEW IT!! She can never make it without a morning call. And so we went and visited the teachers. We saw Mrs Gan, Mdm Lee, Miss Siow, Mrs Awyong, Mrs Koh, Mr Wu, Mr Ho, and we did not see Mr Tay, Mr Leong and alot of the other teachers. I was in a rush of time to go to school and so i left at 10.30am whereby i need to reach NIE at 11.30am!?

Scott, Melvin, Joo Ting, Me, Miss Siow, Janna

Mrs Awyong is singing Beyond's song in Canto.. See how slim she is now..

Very nice voice!!

Today we went to catch the Rain and Shine event for GV at fort canning park and we watched 2 movies "Make It Happen" and "My Sassy Girl" (american version). Both movies are just satisfactory.

Our picture taken after so long~~

I am so angry with my sister today. She thinks she is the biggest in the family and has no respects for the others. It's already dinner time at 7pm and she is still napping. I have been calling her to wake up since 7pm, but she continued sleeping. When i finally lost my temper and pulled her up, she said she was very tired and ask us to eat our dinner. Ok fine, we finished our dinner and we cannot tidy up because of her. And then she says she does not wanna eat because she just ate noodles at 5plus. So what? Does it mean that you can fool us around? You are tired yet you are making people more tired just because we have to delay our cleaning. You are so selfish, N levels is alredy coming and you are still poking your nose into PSL stuffs. It's your own business if you do not do well, do not blame the others.
Yesterday we went to recharge our energy during lunchtime. We had Sakae Sushi in school and the ambience is qite comfortable and nice. Just that the service is abit slow~ The food there is cheaper by some small amounts but it is better than nothing. LOL..

We had to change into froggie slippers to enter the restaurant. Haha..cute..

Debbie wants a full length shot..

Ambience not bad right? Scenery outside? Forest only~~

Spending brain cells to select food...

Debbie and her lunch~~

Mine! Seafood set lunch at $13.65 got rice and soup and a plate of salad..no service charge is charged..onli GST!

I am SO SO SO upset by the results of the Women's Volleyball at the Beijing Olympics. I do not understand how the committee had arranged the matches but why did Cuba had to play against USA and China twice when Cuba had already beaten against them in the Preliminaries?? From my point of view, if one teams loses in the prelims then the team is out! How come they still have the chance to compete further? Now China gets a bronze and USA will be fighting for a gold later with Brazil. This is so not fair to the Cuban team because they had to play twice against these 2 teams whereas the other teams had no repeats. I feel so sorry for the cuban team. I supported them right from the start and they always had good games with beautiful spikes and defensive blocks. I just hope they would not be too upset now because IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT!!!

I had a super long day today because of lectures!! I just don't understand why the lecture last for 3 hours and the tutorial only last for 1 hour. The lecture is super duper long yet the tutorial is super duper short. Monday is the worst day of all because we have a whole day of lecture with boring subjects. I just don't get what the teacher are talking, they know what they are talking but we do not even understand one word of it. In conclusion, more MONDAY BLUES to come in near future.
Luckily lesson starts at 2.30pm tomorrow and i am planning to go to the pasar malam in the evening after dinner, jooting! free or not?? Our 1st assignment is due on wednesday and i think i am just crapping in this piece of work. Haiz, what am i supposed to do? Nothing helps me from recovering from the china trip- slack studying.

Today i had a surprise pop up visit from vivian while helping out at bedok today. Haha, it really gave me SURPRISE because it was so sudden. Haha, but it was nice to see her again. I did not have the time to meet up wif her and the others as the school week is really too tiring for me to do anymore travelling. Hope we can meet up this friday!

Life is really boring in school. There is nothing fun to talk about it anyway. I reformat my laptop twice in a day because of a stupid virus again. I think it is the trojan horse again because i cannot open my drives when i click it. It happened like that too in China. I am now so neutralized to it. Anyway, we tried the food at the cafe located in the school and i must say the food there is quite cheap and most importantly nice! >.< There wasn't too many people there when we went there at 12.30pm so it was quite relieving to see that we have no trouble finding seats. There were sofa for people to slack on and we ordered food. I had Thai Styled Chicken which is also fried chicken with thai sauce. It was nice, the rice was butter and raisin rice. I thought the butter rice would be very heavy, it turned out not so! It was perfectly blandly butter. I think we have decided to make the cafe our choice for every thursday's lunch as we only have an hour for it!

School School School is killing me. All the modules require demo teaching as test or projects. I just hate this kind of things. They keep asking us to do 教案 which is also teaching plans in english. But we have not even learn it yet and now we have to do it. All these are driving us crazy. We have to go to tudou and look for video that teaches hanyu pinyin. We have to analyze every section of the video and present it in class. It's kinda lame!
Currently these are the modules i am taking in NIE:
1)The Use Of Chinese In Teaching And Hanyu Pinyin 华语教学语言与汉语拼音
2)Techniques In Teaching Of Chinese Language 课堂教学技巧
3)Teaching Of Civics And Moral Education 公民与道德教育
4)Chinese Etymology And Modern Chinese Script 文字学与现代汉字
5)Modern Chinese Grammar 现代汉语语法
All these modules are just not fun. The lectures are always 3 hours long and our butts are really burning already yet the teachers just will not stop talking! The tutorials are only one hour each. I would suggest to them to schedule more time for tutorials rather than let us suffer for lectures. Today one of the teachers did not come for our tutorial and we managed to have one hour of yakking away. Haha... Anyway tomorrow is National Day!! Happy Birthday to Singapore! Monday no school!!! YEEEESSSSSSSS YEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

First week of school is super so not fun. It is so damn stressful and we thought we will be just learning some basic knowledge. Who knows being a teacher under training is so stressful. It is only the first week and i am feeling that i am going to have a tough time ahead. Maybe i should have really consider thoroughly when i changed track during year 2.
I am so looking forward to the long weekend ahead. MORE HOLIDAYS PLEASE!!!!!!!

I have just started watching this J-drama today and i must say this is a drama that will really make you part of the drama. When i watched this show, i really feel very angry for the characters inside. Especially Masami Nagasawa, she is the one who really deserves the pity of the viewers. Currently i have watched until episode 4 and i must say this drama brings out deep meanings of friends and relationships. Until the 3rd episode, i soon realise what is the cups issue going about. If you catch this video, this drama scripts use cups to bring out different aspects of the characters. It is really a great depiction of the characters in the drama.
School is starting on monday and it will at NIE which is inside NTU, the one school that is located at the very far end of singapore. From the MRT map, you can see the end of purple line and the end of green line. Which means, i am travelling from the east to the west almost everyday. I think i might freak out on transportation fees.
I started my first tuition class today. And i must say the students there are really quite not active enough. Though i hear responses but it is in a very cold atmosphere. Handphones are quite a chore to teachers. The students are just pressing their handphones every now and then. What is the world becoming. Sigh*
