Hello Reality...OUCH!

As I have seen heaven passing by, I can see reality floating back into my world. The world where there are 2XX essays and formal letter to be commented. I an fainting. Life in SAM is such a bore at times. Full of marking and nothing else but that. Yeah they said that it is always easier to give people essay to write during class hour and the students hated it but have they ever wonder that they are the one who are not suffering the most. We are. Now stand on my table is a total of 232 peices of writing that I have to mark and I really don't know will I be ever able to finish it on time before the weekends arrive as I have plans to torture my students next week. Hehehehehe....

Life works in such a way. Anyhow, last week itself was also not a week for me. I got my evaluation form back and to tell you the truth, it was such a demotivating feedback from the students. But like they say, you can't please everyone. Some of the comment I find it true that I am harsh at times, emotional and whatever but hey I am a human being. They too am emotional and who to blame when they were. Nobody. Hmmph...But than, this was not the worse part. Some comments are generally hillarious for a start and some are just not true. If they think that they want a perfect teacher, then they go and teach themselves lah. No wonder our education system is so bad. Who has the heart to teach BRATS/COMPLAINER like that. But then, it seems that it was a common thing for every teacher. So...there's no point of me being irrational and emotional at times. The next thing I ever want to do after mid-term is to change as according to the new action plan since some clowns have commented that I:

1) am funny and I should be a clown. Action: should be more boring then. don't blame me then that the class is boring ever again since some of you ask for it.
2) speak in British English. Action: should speak more in Manglish and let my kids die on their own since they commented that I speak British English. I wonder if I should pick up some Australian English and let them die faster.

I really don't know lah. I love most of them and almost everyone of them but the comments made have to be retrified and in order for me to do so, I have to change then. So kids whom I love, sorry that I might have to be an evil wizard when you all come back from you're holiday then. If you ever want to blame, blame on those clowns whom have made the comments that are not quite true.

p/s: the one that are quite true, I'll try my very best to change.

Oooh.... I was right then.... No heaven for u... But say W-H-A-T? Who said u speak in BittON? U're not even close to Brittish? No offence. Like i said b4, u're just u.... Kevinglish. A bit of Brittish, bit of Indian and bits and pieces of Manglish... No offense... That's u right? And u like ur way of speaking.Guess they're used to Manglish n not used to ur well...Brittish accent. Just like when i'm in Secondary, ppl would go... "R u Brittish?" "U've been to Australia haven't u?" Well i guess they're just trying to match my "perfect" langguage to something... :P... Of course we know u've tried ur best. So why bother all the stupid comments. Aww... how sweet... Do u love G5 too? Well, do u not hate me, at least? hahahahaha.... BTW, happy teacher's day... Love, yours truly, student. =P

Muahahahha~~ itz time to get back to the Lou Yan Ga.. OLD~~~

i dun deny tat i hate class work. i dun write good essays in class.. always mental-block. u know mornings.. where u always got ur brain-waves jammed. but really, i dunno how u're gonna survive. 4 classes, so many essays. I was so amazed tat u're actually giving us mock exam, which will = more work for u. Or are u forced to do so?

As for the comments,aiyer.. u know students, itz meant nothing to them and they jz take it as fun. i dunno bout all lar.. most are liddat. But hor, i think u love our class too much liao tat u might have been too nice to us.. (OMG i'm gonna get whacked by my classmates for this!!)

and pur-lease, speak the way as u are now. itz already british enough.. if u go even more british or australian style i'd guess i'll be watching u with my mouth half-open coz i wun know wat u r saying. I remembered once u came in our class and speak so Britishly tat really, i dunno wat u're saying...

i'm nice.. so dun torture me... =p
