Dream dream dream...

These days I sleep real soundly the moment my head touches the pillow. But I will wake up not in a sound and pleasant way!

Just this morning, I was woken up by a dream which had English lesson plans! Last week, prior to the coming of my Supervisor, my awakening dream was about my makeshift goal-posts and positioning of the cones for my set-up for PE lessons! DRAMA -MAMA. Sign of stress? I highly think so.....but not to the point of going berserk although sometimes its hard to tell if I'm really bonkus or not (with or without stress!).

OH...talking about the makeshift goal-posts! They must be seriously the best invention any student has seen in this school boy. That reminds me...I should take a few shots of it and post it up for the viewing pleasure of many. Come on....I had students yesterday (the first of the many I took in this week...INGRATES!) telling me it was so creative and smart! *wink wink*

Hmm...yah they won the heart of my Supervisor too. IT BETTER MAN! Actually I did not do it just to impress...with or without my sup coming, I had in mind to create pseudo goal-posts since my lesson would require it given that I have only 4 goal posts to be shared among 5 groups!!!! Aiyah....IT IS NOT EASY PLANNING FOR A PE LESSON OK! Unless you are the kind of brainless 'play-ball' PE teacher. Sigh...too many of these rotten oranges around.

Ok....I hope my dreams will be non-school related henceforth.
Time to relax a little it seems.

Breather

Back from a Sec 3 level camp in JB, Tanjung Piai. Thought I could have the week's off to clear my brain's cache and prepare my lesson plans but alas...I'm down for ODAC camp and sec 4s' oral exam mock practice! When can I have my breather???? Sometimes I wonder whether returning to a familiar place is good for me after all. I'm like on the 'Wanted' list for this committee, that committee, this event, that event etc. Not that I'm popular or high-in-demand, its just that I'm nicely available. I'm not usually mindful of taking on responsibilities. Its just that during these 10 weeks, I reckon is a crucial component of my NIE understudy and I am not wanting to settle for something less in my planning (although i really hate lesson plannings!). But I'm so stretched! I feel like screaming: " GIVE ME MY SPACE!" To say the least, I'm feeling stressed. Most unfortunately, I'm not given the option to say 'No'. Not until I get ...

ACTION 100%

I finally can take a breather and bloggie! I just can't believe that my 2 weeks of the 10weeks practicum have just passed! But of course, its just ACTION this entire week since I started teaching. My gosh....if anyone desires for time to pass quickly JOIN TEACHING! Having not taught for the last 1.5years, getting back to the routine sure took some adjustment. Physically, I crashed by 10pm every night. Last night, 8.45pm! Record set. Just last week I was thinking its ultra boring to just shadow my CTs and not teach....I basically didn't know what I was asking for then. Mornings start with the mad rush of preparing for PE lessons and its just been taxing on my brain! After PE, I feel as though I've ran a marathon. I just slump on my chair and let the cool air from the air-con bring me back to life. When school ends, I just have little energy left to do my own trainings! OH ...btw I cycle to and fro school so....its zero level at the end of the day. Joani said this to me befor...

Day 3 & 4 - Halong Bay

HALONG BAY Cat Ba Island (2 days, 1 night) After 1 day of exploration of Hanoi city, we headed for Halong Bay via the junkboat. Our destination was on Cat Ba Island where we stayed for the night. It was also there that we ventured onto 'Monkey' Island - not to be deceived; there was only 4 monkeys sighted. The exhilirating part of this journey was the motorbike ride to the ferry terminal to board the boat to 'Monkey' Island. Felt like I was part of a short scene of a James Bond movie (pillion with Pierce Brosnan!). Will never forget the cold draft blowing against my face and just riding up and down the slopes! Cat Ba Island is a very quiet & tranquail place. Little activity especially at night. Wanted to catch the morning activities at the fishing wharf opposite our hotel but could not wake up in time. Nonetheless, managed to capture some snippets of what goes on at the bay. Waiting patiently to board the boat. Snapped this on board the boat. Not a vietnamese but fe...
