My reflections

On Wednesday, February 28, 2007, I wrote this:

Schools have targets and so do I! The following are my targets which I hope I can achieve at the end of my practicum:
1. Be more organized
2. Improve my interpersonal skills
3. Work more efficiently
4. Build up self-confidence
5. Have better time management
6. Be more focused

At the end of my practicum, I will come back to review these targets.

It had been almost 3 months since I finished my practicum. Guess it's time I do some reflection.

1. I think I was organized that 2 months. But I can't say that for now.

2. Erm I guess did not really improve because I'm still quite anti-social and find it hard to talk to some even though I trid hard to think of what to say to them. Guess my EQ failed because something happened which made Dear very unhappy with me.

3. Must admit that I am still not efficient. I take ages to complete a lesson plan - probably because I want to make my lesson as interesting as possible. However, I realized that an effective lesson is more important than an interesting lesson. No doubt that we need to inject fun into learning but what's fun when the students do not learn anything. Hahaha... I discovered it myself.

4. I guess I really built up my self confidence that 2 months. In the past, I am really afraid of doing 'presentations'. My biggest worry before the start of the practicum was that I cannot overcome the fear of teaching in front of the students and my mentor. But I was glad that all's well during that 2 months. The fact that having close to 80 students adoring you definitely makes my day no matter how talkative and naughty they had been.

5. Definitely failed at this because I spend all my time on doing lesson plans and neglected Dear. Learnt my lesson the hard way.

6. Was quire focused except on times whereby I am at a lost of how to deliver a lesson.

Yep :p The above is a reflection of my 'report card'.

Our first game

Yes, as above.

Our first badminton game together. Hahaha.

Counting to 3rd year anniversary and yesterday was the first time that we played badminton together.

Love playing badminton because it had been a long time since I last played and since I last perspired. As in really perspire.

Think badminton is the only sport that I enjoyed and don't mind perspiring for. I just do not have the determination to jog or whatever, Thus, badminton is still the best choice!

Are you sure, Courts?

Mum and I went to courts to get a new washing machine as the old one decided to give its way. Upon reaching, I saw a crowd no less than 7 chatting together at the laudry section. When I close up to them, I realize that they are actually discussing on the 4D results! Damn! They should be at work. It pissed me further when mum and I have to wait for more than 15 minutes to get one of their ass to us and it's only when I stared at them.

We were interested in the one of the LG model but due to one of the old man's marketing gimmick, we were directed to another 'so-called' better model. He's smart, keep turning around bushes and my mum nearly seal the deal with him. This model cost $599/- excl. $30/- delivery and $200/- optional for a 5 years warranty. He claims superior as it's Korea model and the LG model is China made. Screw him! The LG model cost $499/- and with the 5 years full cover warranty period, of course it's most sensible to get it. When I told him that we are more interested in the LG model, his face changed and immediately told us that no stock left for that model. Damn! Another gimmick. It's only when I told him that we are not buying anymore then he ask another salesman. And now, the stock comes in 3 days later. Stupid salesman using old marketing style, not knowing who he is dealing with.

My aunt suggests BEST DENKI and finally we got the exact model we saw from courts with a cheaper deal! $449/- incl free delivery and just $36/- more for 5 years full cover warranty. Ladies and Gentleman, though I'm a Courts MS but Courts doesn't meet my expectation so do your calculations before buying.

PAP

Sorry to keep you waiting.. I have found a job! Being a CSO in one of the CC in Singapore provides my portfolio another area of expertise in the government sector. Perhaps this would encourage the chances of me being employed in the SPF.

First time experience when talking to the MP was like, Woow~ I'm a step closer to LKY! In fact, it's kind of bored here. As you can see, I'm posting this entry in office. So free! Surfing firewalled internet seems so restricted. Can't get into Youtube, Sammyboy etc.

Kind of lowly paid here, but with the jobscope, I could ask for more. Heard the agency is taking 30% of my hourly wage. Arrgh! I should haven gotten more. Garhmen is rich anyway~ GST's up 7% - 9 days and counting..

端午节

Yes! One of the festival that I like most is here again!

I can eat dumplings made by my ah ma again!

Hahaha... I am one lucky girl because I can eat it the moment I wake up.

Okay, Dear is also lucky because he got to eat 2!

Muahaha... below are some photos taken by me when my ah ma is still 'cooking' the dumplings. Yes! There are more!

Our day out

Went on a date with Dear yesterday. Had a super full lunch at Yuk* Yak* followed by Shrek 3 at night. I must say that Shrek 3 is really a funny show. But I still think that it can be better if the director put in more effort. Muahahaha.... That's just my personal opinion lah.

The egg fried by Dear. Ha the sunny-side-up failed.

The bowl of healthy noodles+fried egg+prawn+mushroom. Haha but in the end, we were too full to eat it! Muahaha...
