Jonny can't wait:

- for the NTU CO concert day to reach and to end soon.
- to pass his stupid btt which is in 2weeks time.
- to learn driving.
- to get more lobangs to earn money.
- to get his hair dyed.
- to have an overseas holiday which he has been yearning for a long time!
- for someone to lend him sec3/4 physics and chemistry txtbk, so that he can give proper tuition without having to spend time recalling what he'd learned 6yrs ago. (if have pls donate to me!!)
- to get a earphone.
- to change his antique-cum-non camera-cum-army-cum-cui phone to a new one.
- to get a proper watch.
- to go out with YOU! =D

mixed feelings.

Finally tml's ORD day... can officially be a civilian with pink ic... :)

Recently, it's been eventful, with the past 4 days having CO pracs and celebrating ZM n SY's bday on last Sun...

Mon- SYCO combine prac(7-9.30pm)
Tue- NTU prac(7-9.30pm)
Wed- SYCO sectional prac(7-9.30pm)
Fri- NTU prac(7-9.30pm)

Plus now got lobang for teaching on wed n thur.. and BHCC prac on sat.. woohoo!!! everyday CO! "GREAT"! luckily this 7days-a-week thing doesn't last all the way.. can rest slightly after ntu's concert on 27th feb...


Is she the one? Am i able to help her? Am i able to give her what she needs? I really want to help her break the barriers in her live and see her being happy-- the real happy that she really needs. But am i the 'correct' person? I'm confused. I don't know the answers, but that doesn't matter for now, for i'll give my best to give her the best she needs all the way.

Teaching pri students.

Gosh.. i guess i'm way too too kind to kids.. Nearly vomited blood today after teaching two sessions of co sectional lessons at one pri sch. haha..

In the morning was lower pri.. dizi students got 5 but only 3 had dizi.. suona students got 6 but none got the reed, and when i finally got the reed and distributed to them, 4 of them spoiled the reed and had to replace it, only to spoil it again. =X Ended up asking the suona students to clap along the rhythm of the few practice pieces.

In the afternn was upper pri.. saw the same 3 dizi students which i taught 2yrs ago.. they're pri 5 now.. and they still rmb me! =D but they're still the same (always laughing and shouting and quarrelling as ever). -.- one of them even come n poke me and climb behind my back. WTH! okay the few of them tend to be better with their skills and that's where the problem lies. Had to go slower with the rest of the section who were new to some pieces(which the few of them alrdy played b4) and the few complaint it was too slow n too boring. Ok greats. Separated them into 2 smaller groups and it got even tougher to coordinate 2groups at a go.

Was quite impressed with how the 2china instructors made the whole lot of them sit down quietly(with their hands on their knees and sit with back straight). haha super fierce(but i guess that's how it works to discipline these kids).. One thing that made me contented was how they thanked the instructors at the end of each lesson. This is how it goes:"起立！ 行礼！ 谢谢老师！ 老师再见！ 老师辛苦了！“ haha.. it must be the teacher taught them to say that.. but it's good for them i guess.. =) cultivates their respect for teachers.. (okay. bullshit. where was the respect when i had to keep asking them to sit down quietly, around 3 times per success attempt).

qUoTE OF ThE daY: One need a great lot of patience to teach kids, especially kids nowadays. -jon
