ok maybe im being slightly ambitious; i gotta admit having 2 jobs in a day is really tiring.right from the start, today proved to be a more fulfilling day with 4 lessons waiting for me to relief. 1 sec 2, 2 sec 4 and 1 sec 5 class. it was the same noisy sec 2 class again tt i had taken ytd and true enough, they didnt steer away from their innate characteristics of being ultra rowdy. now i understand why teachers do go crazy at times yelling at students to keep quiet. it has indeed proven to be quite a handful, as i have now experienced. so anyway the sec 4 classes were generally ok.
as for the sec 5 class, i had mentally prepared myself for a difficult time as the age difference is simply non-existent. however to my surprise most of the students spent their free time constructively by doing their homework and talking at audible levels, yet unlike the bunch of 14 yr olds. well i have to admit it was kinda weird though having a bunch of sec 5 boys in the front row STARING AT ME doing whatever i was doing. when i qns them about doing smth, they answered cheekily, " teacher, we doing smth wat. we watching you" -_____- ok tt was quite nerve-wrecking and at first i had wanted to stare them down but i failed miserably; i couldnt help it. i burst out laughing. haha ok its damn loserish i know but wat else can i do! so anyway, they started asking me qns like how old i was, whether i was attached, wat schools i came from etc. etc. some of which i answered while others i avoided or appeared mysterious, esp. the age qns. i din want them to know i was just THAT much older than them! but then again, they were convinced tt i am 18 or 19.
so anyway, the day ended with a pleasant surprise-school ends early at 1230 on fridays! (: (: haha yes i know. how slacker-ish of me but be it student or teacher, having a break on fridays is always welcomed isnt it :P
after school met chris at ikea for lunch. i had long heard about the famous swedish meatballs there and had been dying to try it. and true enough, they tasted HEAVENLY! on top of tt, we had the salmon salad and chicken wings which were totally to die for! hmmm a great meal always makes me happy and this works 100% of the time. (=
when nite came, i went off to ice cream chefs wif anticipation since it has been 2 weeks since i last worked! was really happy to see the familiar purple sign upon approaching and within mins, i had started to scoop some ice cream to eat (: i realise smth, after working there, i have almost never eaten ice cream outside of working hours lol. anyway, around 8pm i commented to my co colleague that it seems kinda empty for a friday nite to which she replied for me not to jinx it. TRUE ENOUGH, 30min later we were SWAMPED with customer after customer such tt i simply could not find time to talk to jingxian and siying who came down today. (my apologies!) anyway, probably cos i havent been working there for so long i kept making mistakes today! felt so embarrassed..oh well i must redeem myself tml nite when i work again. so anyway, today's shift was exceptionally long as the last few customers only left 40min after our closing time. and yes i got stuck with mop duty!! ): tt totally sucks cos i was already feeling super duper shagged but the optimistic side of me reminded me tt i could tone my arms while doing tt (: so yup i persevered till 12 and finally went home feeling exhausted but accomplished.
how can i not when i managed to earn almost a hundred today? :PLabels: class, fatigue, icecream, yummy food
