Lots of Work!

CA 1 is coming and in no time..........PSLE! Ha....

My pupils are feeling the heat nowadays. Many of them have lots of work waiting for them to complete. Work not just from me, but from their Tuition Teachers, Parents, and even CCA Teachers. I am also feeling the heat too! I have work from Principal, Vice-principal, Teachers, and Pupils! Seems like no one can just bum and while their time away.

How do I relieve my stress? Eat great food, not necessary expensive. It can be satay beehoon from Bukit Timah market, Coffee Bean's coffee, Ramen at Gallery Hotel......Hokkien Mee in Bukit Batok old central (near Princess Elizabeth Pri Sch). I sleep......to re-energise, plan my time well, work within my means. Prioritise my work.....the most urgent and important ones first, followed by the not-so-important ones........It seems like I have forgotten to include household chores! I do not have the luxury of having a maid.....so I have to clean up my house with the help from Mr Tan. He has been very nice......helping out in the chores and it seems like he has done more than me!

Just finished watching ASEAN Cup (I multitask....work and watch at the same time). I am on cloud nine that Singapore has won! I was on teeters whenever the Thais got close to our goalpost. Khairul Amri (Did I get his name right?) stole tonight's show! He was unchallenged and the Thais paid a high price for that moment of folly. In soccer, it is always the scorer who is the hero. I feel for the rest of the players, especially the defenders. They get reprimanded and blamed for conceding goals and commiting fouls. Strikers areseldom blamed for goalless games or losing the match. They are named heroes immediately when they put the ball in the opponent's net. Alam Shah is the most valuable player for the games. I think we should put Mustafic, Dickson, Lionel Lewis, Aide Iskandar and the rest on the list too. What do you think?

Tomorrow, the P6s will watch the documentary show done by 6 Diamond. I played very small part in it, providing my $619 digital camera, my tablet, school's notebook and my time. My pupils? They put their soul in it. Their enthusisam is overwhelming and I am very touched to see them working together to put up this show. Kudos to 6 Diamond! Like what you will say, "6 Diamond rocks!" Lame?

Just to note: Zahid skipped his afternoon class and Yang Ming stayed for another 1hr plus on Friday to finish the masterpiece. What can I say?
