i will be a spoiler.
george huff was voted out of American Idol this morning.
checked the community boards on idolonfox.com
sigh.
no motivation to watch american idol liaoz.
why wasnt fantasia voted out? why wasnt jasmine voted out?
george huff has the charisma to charm and the vocals to sing.
fantasia has a punched up face with no charisma to charm and jasmine has no vocals to sing. what the hell.

left school at around 3 today. parents came to fetch cos they were in the vicinity.
or rather, they went to celebrate their 20th anniversary at vienna restaurant at united suqare. me gave them the money to go celebrate. afterall im working so lemme pay for their anniversary since i cannot be around mah. mounted up to about $60 odd i think, for the two "lao de". hee.
me lugged home 2E1 and 2E2's answer scripts and foolscap paper to mark.
their MCQ finish marking liaoz cos caleb was helping me today with the OTAS machine..
so i have 5 classes of answer scripts and long structured questions. gulps. here goes.
was quite freaked out today when they were doing the paper. was worried that they dint understand what i was trying to ask, or simply dont know how to do. i incidentally killed them all on mapwork, which was something i dint wish to see happen. cos i thought the mapwork questions were pretty simple, except for one, where i asked them "which country is the first to usher in the 1st day of the New Year." country, not island. i wont know which island will usher in, cos it would be some ulu one, but country would be new zealand. was scanning through some mapwork answers and most dint get it.. or rather, i havent seen anybody who got the answer yet but some were actually pretty close. they put "australia". but i can kill some students la. they think tuas is near sungei buloh. like hello?!!?!? i thought common sense would tell you that tuas is near boon lay which is near jurong which is at the very end of the western part of singapore!! sheesh. havent seen their long structured yet. but like i told the students before, the paper is doable, just tedious, if you made the effort to study. yeah.

oh wells. yuan shin was saying im a workaholic. lugging two classes home to mark right on the very day when the paper was done. aiyah. it's just me la. i have the initial motivation to start marking. and maybe after finishing with mine, i go and help caleb mark. he has 10 classes to mark, twice my workload and he's sick. but then again, im sick too.

the few of us were wrecking havoc again in the staff workroom. the few of us included yuan shin, daniel, me, plus the trainee teachers. tmr is their last day mah and they're thinking of buying pizza for the people in the staff room. daniel was trying to be cheeky by convincing them to buy pizza hut instead of canadian pizza. haha. buy one get one free. lalala. i would be just pleased with getting to eat my share of the pizza. grin. we so could wreck havoc, was mainly because all the permanent teachers went off for the envisioning workshop. awwwww. obviously me dint have to go. thank goodness. grin.

cant wait for tmr to come. cos the weekend follows soon after!
wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
