beaten.
school has just reopened not more than 2 weeks and i'm already half-dead.. heh.. it seemed like i've been working non-stop for one month.
Work can really sap my energy at an alarming rate.
i feel older suddenly.
thou' busy, but life has been terrific so far =)
cos there are people i really look forward to meeting up with everyday, hehe..
who?
my kiddos lar -_- what are u thinking?
i love my children. but sometimes they do get up my nerves.
the p1 pupils are all required to get their immunisation jabs at the end of this month so we the form teachers are to collect their health booklets or
collect $1.50 from them to buy a new booklet if they have lost theirs.
But just getting the message across took me a hell lot of time and .... PATIENCE.
Teacher: Okay class, can i have a show of hands who have NOT handed in their health booklets or paid $1.50 for a new one??
A few scrawny hands raised.
Glancing at that 7 pathetic health booklets on the teacher's desk, there should be MORE than that number of hands raised. They obviously didnt quite understand me..
i rephrased my question.
T: Okay..those who've lost their health booklets and haven't paid $1.50, raise up your hand.
More hands raised.
One of them frantically waving...
T: Yes A, what is it?
A: Miss Liang, i hand in already.
T: Okay.. u have handed in your health booklet right? So u dont have to raise up your hand.
A: But i hand in already.
T: Yesss.. i know.. im asking for those children who have not handed in theirs.
(A sat down)
T: So, can i see those hands again? Haven't handed in health booklet and Haven't paid $1.50.
It was B's turn to stand up eagerly and calling out from the back of the class,
B: teacher, i no health booklet.
T: ?? Yahh, So u have to raise up your hand..
B: i cannot find health booklet
T: (*LUN-ing with a 'still-smiley-thou-DL-face') Yes, it was lost right? So you have to pay $1.50 to buy a new one..
Aey no wait, but i thot u already paid me yesterday??
B: but .....
but teacher i pay already.
T: !!!
THEN U SIT DOWN & KEEP QUIET!
