a place where she always goes

realised i cancelled my previous post by accident. argh. never mind. will try to recall what i was typing just previously.

something about agreeing with eileen about spontaneous writing. yeah i must admit i get to know my students much better through their spontaneous writing though i do wish that they dont give me the same language when they are writing their essays or functional writing for that matter. like today, some quipped "cher, informal letter means we can use singlish to write right?" and that came from my 1E1. i simply cannot imagine what will come from justin dittaya and gang tmr. *shudder* and getting them to do group work is disaster. a simple question in groups of four took them one period. sheesh. one question to those read: should i get them to form their own groups or form groups for them instead? hm.

and something about taxis. yeah. i finally saw a green taxi on my way home today. realised it came from one of the new taxi companies which just sprouted recently. but seriously la. when im in need of a taxi, i dont really quite care which company im taking. which ever taxi that comes along first, i'll just hop into it. grin. unless we're talking about booking taxis. ah that's a totally different case all together. grin.

better get started on my adverbs notes and worksheet. eileen if you need worksheets for eng and geog for sec one, email me yeah? i can pass you the stuff i prepared.. now we can share! i'm already sharing my workload with daniel and yun shin.. and daniel is damn on about setting worksheets. just one thing. he never gives me the answers as well. i dont wanna rack my brains over one worksheet when i can spend the time and brain doing up another english worksheet.

we girls seem to be preparing lotsa materials. me eileen ruoling and xinxin. just saw ruoling's compound interest notes yesterday. damn professional sia. grin. and let ruoling and sam see my midyear paper. caleb glanced through today and pointed out some things that i never thought would be impt. but like he said, dont kanjiong, just submit it on wed and let mrs wong see first.. there's still the second draft and the third draft mah. which is true. and anyway i dont have the time now to scan in all the pictures and box them up. think i need to catch caleb when he's in a good mood. quite scared of him when he's grouchy. and he's not that bad la. i think. yeah. still not used to being on first name basis with the teachers. except with my clique of yun shin, daniel and wanting. yeah. people like alicia, angela, cecilia.. yeah. very not used to it. although they insist entirely i call them that or they'll start calling me ms teo. which is even more horrifying. grin.
