it has been a rough thursday and friday

at this point in time, some of my kiddos still don't understand Conclusion, Reasons, Evidence and Assumption. it is not as if i haven't harping on this structure all this while.

though i don't think they are at fault either. after all, i am their 4th GP/PW tutor. The longer i teach, the more i realise they haven't been taught a lot of things

the thing about me is that i don't bother to conceal my feelings. so, teachers and students alike have been asking me to relax and not to take work so seriously, that it's okay just to try your best

i understand that and appreciate all the concern but i guess i feel a lot of guilt over

~the fact that if Mr Sim (HOD) were still teaching them, he would be able to help them better
~the fact that i have to ask them to spend so much time on their PW when they aren't doing so fantastic at their A level subjects
~the fact that there is only one of me and i can't give them the personalised attention they need. and that some have given up on their EOM

yes, i know. there's no need to compare myself to Mr Sim but still....

anyway, i will stay sane and resilient because i refuse to give up just like that. haha

hmm, it's quite concidental that i met jingwei over MSN and his parting remarks were "Jia You. Jia You. Jia You."

he explained that if you repeat something often enough, then it will come true.

i raised my eyebrows but couldn't hold back a chuckle. haha.

abstract photo of the day: this was taken outside esplanade. erm, the point of this photo is the graduates taking their photos.

this was how rude of the vandal lar. but well, i have a soft spot for graffiti.
