><))o> O level results fresh from the oven (MOE i mean)
#Woah...the staffroom and office are in a total craze today due to the release of O level results....there were excited chatter, screams of joy and astonishment everywhere! Ok...so how did CSS fare?!? WE HAVE IMPROVED!!! Yeah!!! It was quite a good improvement for many subjects...take for example geography ( i was sitting in the Humans dept side), there were no failures (the teacher was overjoyed i tell ya...)...the worse was a C6 and there were only 3 C6s....as for maths, there were also improvement...likely to meet target this year! Overall, we did well lah...well enough to retain our atonomous status which was threatened by the slipping results over the years...heng ah!! And i heard that there were alot of 7, 8 9 pointers coming from the middle classes which mean overall, the L1R5 MSG must have improved!! Yeah!! I'm so happy...seeing all the elated faces in the staffroom makes me realised that if one really put their heart and soul into teaching, the reward is far greater than all the frustrations - its priceless. Hence, the joy of teaching!
#To all those who are dying to see CSS ripped of her atonomous status (specifically those choir rivals from a very eastern school)...my message to you guys is WAIT LONG LONG!! Muhahaha...
#Wanted to kapo and join in the bustle at the hall today during the release of results but i was tied down by Maths group study....turns out that for a particular class, quite a few of the girls were not there because they had stayed in the hall for the major affair...some of the girls even revealed to me that they wished they could be in the hall to see some sec5 shuai ges...aiyo...the innocence of the young minds!
#This whole day has been quite an exciting one....but all the activites going on just keep reminding me, isabel and qin yuan that in a week's or even less than a week's time, the staffroom at aj will be filled with the exact kind of atmosphere, anticipation, joy perhaps? I hope so...AHHHH! So scarey to even think about As!
#On a brighter note, due to the improvement in results this year, CSS might have half day...yeah! I'm keeping my fingers crossed! *prays*

><))o> AJ FAMILY DAY (MORE LIKE CRAZE DAY)
#Well...to my sincere readers of my blog, sorry i havent been updating my blog...been really busy and tied down with tons and tons of marking...sleep late every night and i gotta wake up 530 every morning...imagine how tired i feel for the past few days?!? Anyway, i just woke up from a YUMMY nap! Feeling happy cos i am not so sleepy!!
#Today i woke up pretty early yet again because a senior teacher (a very nice teacher) asked me to go down to CSS this morning to help with the distribution of cans for the Heart Foundation Flag Day...so i gotta drag my half asleep butt to school this morning. The distribution of cans was done effortless (except for some boys who tried to confuse me with their register numbers so that they can share the can with the person they desired...but of course i am too smart for them..i didn't let their dreams come true...MUHAHAHHa) and by 8.20am, i was done and really to go down to AJ. So i headed down to AJ with isabel (who is also teaching at CSS now).
#When i reached YCK, the feeling of walking to AJ was so wonderful!!! Aww man! i miss AJ...i miss school and most importantly, I MISS BEING A STUDENT!!! Cant wait to start uni life and be a mugger!! Anyway, when i reached AJ, i was surprised to see that things were more happening then b4...i mean the students (in a nutshell, AJ isint so boring!)....there were things like this makeshift stage where AJ's very own rock bands perform and the vocalists going very very offtune...there was this vocalist who couldnt reach all the high notes for 1 song and that made so many of us, there watching the "concert", giggled and laughed so hard that it became embarrasing-ly apparent for him...he later claimed that he had some throat infection (ah...lame excuse!)...there was also the dunking of teachers...cheeky concept...but i dont know who are the teachers who got dunked...so that isin't too interesting for me...
#Upon my arrival, i met two of my tutors!! Mr Ong and Mrs Soon! (I met Mrs Soon first) I was so excited to see Mrs Soon that i just screamed her name! Mrs Soon and i sat down and talked for a while...she said that her daughter made it to AJ (previously, she was complaining to us during tutorials, worried tat her daughter cannot make it to AJ)...based on choir appeal (see...choir is a powerful CCA in AJ!)...Mrs soon also said that results will be out soon (Shivers)...Not too long into the conversation, Mr Ong joined us...he looked like he has aged (opps...)...he says that he has been very busy since becoming the Subject Head...oh poor him... When i'm at Aj, i asked Mrs Soon, Mr Ong and Kangwei to guess what i am working as now and they guessed it almost effortlessly (Mrs Soon being the fastest and Kangwei being the slow one)...and of course when i ask what subject they think i am teaching, it seems like chicken feet to Mrs Soon...she instinctively said Maths...haha...
#After 1 hour of hanging out with Kangwei, Meimei, the posh taitai finally arrived, clattered with glod accessories...(fake one she tells me...shh..dont tell anyone)...then we walk walk around and talk...we ventured into the toilet behind the PE dept and slacked that awhile...
#THe whole hoo ha ended at around 2...and then we left after taking some pictures with kangwei...meimei actually wanted to dragged me to town with her...but i went home after a struggle at the mrt platform...(i'm physically stronger mah)...went home and nap...till now! Hehehe...i'm just a pig...Anyway, my brother just got home, happy that all the pisang balls that his class was selling were sold out...they even resorted to buying bananas from other stalls! (Btw, i got the last and only pisang ball for free after the people tending the stall knew that i'm their classmate's sister! Haha...how nice!)
#Think Aj becoming more happening liao...thats what my bro said too...that makes me miss AJ even more!!!
