wow just five days away from school and it's like it's back to square one practically. felt so disorientated this morning. there are new relief teachers! one of them is pretty cute. HEHE. haha um yes. ok anyways. first lesson was lousy because i had to conduct a music test for p2s. and to quote tsehchyn, who is the other music teacher of that class, i didnt understand whatever 'dao gey' music terms they have. my goodness, they are only p freaking 2 and they have to learn to identify instruments i never even heard of. and use terms like ostinato and whatever else i can't remember la. so i was flustering and floundering and basically freaking out. the kids were probably like wth as well.

then i spent the rest of the day with upper primary classes. very violent, vulgar and aggressive upper primary classes. i was happily (ok not so happily) walking up to my p6 class and i was just the level below when i see a whole bunch of them out of their classroom gesturing to me to hurry ocme up. i was like shit what's going on man. and so i ran up and what do i see but a boy apparently trying to throw himself off the railing. i say apparently because a whole bunch of them were holding him back while he tried to get to the railing so i dont really know if he was trying to commit suicide or whatever. i nearly had a heart attack man. thank goodness i managed to get him back into his classroom without anyone getting hurt. anyway, that class is so uninterested in their art i really feel like just giving up man. i mean they don't bring ANY art materials whatsoever. not even freaking drawing block. so i have to buy it for them, and provide EVERYTHING for them. and even after that, i have to practically go to each kid and FORCE him or her to do the art. and when it comes back to me, i get really slipshod, halfhearted work. and it's like WHAT IS THE POINT? and they are so rude and, honestly, kind of scary because they are so big and like to shout and wave their hands in my face. and i HATE being called CHER CHER CHER CHER CHER. argh.

oh and when i took a period of p6 math today, i was HORRIFIED and very distressed to realise that i can't do primary 6 math 0.0 they were doing their psle book and some of them asked me how to do the questions and i was seriously like HUH what is that! shit man. my brain is degenerating! eeks.

took a slighty aggressive p5 class as well. they just can't speak to each other at normal volumes and have to SHOUT even tho the person is like NEXT TO THEM. but i kind of like that class. took them before so they weren't too mean to me. haha. one of the boys drew this for me! i thought it was really cool. haha.

very obsessed with nike. hurr.

thankfully i was completely uninvolved in today's PD day! so i had two hours of freedom and an empty staffroom to chill out in before brownies! actually not really cos i had to go to the library to search for this book i had apparently not returned when i actually had! but yeah. then i got stopped by random students to help them with their work. it's actually very gratifying when you explain something and you see the person get it. haha.

brownies farewell today! there was so much food! was kind of impressed that so many of them brought so much food. :) anyway, said goodbye to my p5s cos it was the last time i'd be seeing them too. aw :( i'll miss them and the sessions we had. haha. they are a nice bunch :)
