Gosh today was such a bad day. The programme at Bedok Green Secondary was horrendous; now Ive truly experienced the job of being a teacher, dealing with extreme bands of students. To think I was so motivated and enthusiastic yesterday bacause I thought I could make a difference and actually impart useful skills to the normal stream students. How naive I am. I think Ive never met anyone in my social circle with an attitude that stinks to sky high. I have now decided that primary school children are much easier to handle, but I lament the fact that being under Singapore's education system is probably the reason these attitude children are churned out. I look at the adorable children in Changkat Primary and wondered how they will turn out in the years to come? Will they become capable people doggedly going after their ambitions or be so resigned that they become like the delinquents in Bedok Green? Sigh. As if that wasn't enough, the trainers are all giving me all sorts of problems. I mean, I do understand where they are coming from, these assignments being their ricebowls and all, but I also understand the company's stand. Being the middleman seriously sucks. Don't kill the messenger please. As if the day could not go any worse, I realised I forgot to bring my wallet when I was exploring the new extension at Tampines in between schools. Which is damn inconvenient. No identification card to sign in at the general office and no keys to get into my house. I felt utterly pathetic sitting outside my own door okay. And the blisters on my soles are forming again due to a temporary forgetfulness.
Despite all these, Im still glad for the few bright spots in my life - this thing called friends. Im touched when so many wanted to help me out in my late night crisis on Sunday. Especially KITTY!! (((: What a huge favour, turning up at Bedok at 7 in the morning when I only called you at 11 plus the night before. The best thing is, you did it as a favour, not for the money! But the pay is a well-deserved reward eh. (((: Im still grateful for all those who wanted to help but couldn't, like Kai, Janine, Rachel, Stacy, Jiaying etc. THANK YOU PEOPLE. (((: And Yizhen for your lunch treat today. (((:
