# An(other) update
It's me again. Who else ryte?
Malaysia was fun. Spent a whole lot of my time on the operation Meta promo. It's my 3 minute cartoon!! Whee~~~! Any comments for those who have seen it? But let's get back to what i did in Malaysia. Well, apart from the obvious promo, I got my sis to play Risk STAR WARS edition with me. Sadly, she kicked my butt across the galaxy. Then i tried to redeem myself with Monopoly SPIDERMAN edition. And sadly, the Green Goblin defeated Spiderman (me) and dominated the city in which Spiderman lives. Sad.. and to end it off.. Instead of being sympathetic, Daphne couldn't really be bothered. Haha! But oh well, my blue army kicked the Jedi's forces butt the next day! Haha, but the score is still 2-1. So yeah, still on the losing side. But nevermind, the empire will strike back... (in december perhaps)
Apart from that, I also got some shopping done. Two more pants. Now I have 5. Man.. that's quite a lot. But one of my pants is about 5 years old. Hehe. And ate a Secret Recipe lunch with mom and my sis. Dunno how the bill came to RM95 though. Saded...
Oh well, fast forward to Singapore, great to be back, just that my toothbrush didn't think so, as it decided to stay in Malaysia. Had to buy a new one, studied a bit at R3 TV Room, learnt some interesting psychology, realised that my sunfire goes crazy when a = 99/100. No idea why it gave a 12 digit answer... weird!! Sorry to scare Kia Boon, and txs for the solution of %lf.
Fast forward to today, met a lot of my ex-students. Some were happy, some afraid they can't promote, and some... hmmm.. just didn't want to talk about it. The J2s on the other hand were not too bad, not afraid of As, as they were mugging their butts off. Nice chatting with Claire, Steph and Reb. Also chatted with Aaron, Guo Ping, Natha. The J1s, the pig, Jaren, Ferena, Zhiyuan, and many more.
Ok, then now im here, in the youthroom, waiting for Music meeting to start. Bobby awaits. God help me!Labels: Aaron, Claire, Daphne, Ferena, Guo Ping, Jaren, Kia Boon, Malaysia, Metamorphosis, Monopoly, Natha, Rebecca, Risk, Secret Recipe, Shuming, Stephanie, Zhiyuan

# How Great Is Our God
Monday
Today was movie day with my classes. And, yeah, really God has been really good! He helped me a lot with this whole movie thing i wanted to do with my classes. Firstly, the movies, i had no idea where the movies were gonna come from, cuz i didn't have a DVDRom on this com, but God provided it through a portable hard disk. Then there was the expertise of projecting the video... For some unknown reason (at that time), everytime i tried projecting a video, it would appear black on the screen. Thank God my first double coincided with Siok's so we could combine classes! (=
Then it was the duration of the movie. 1 hour and 50 minutes. Impossible to screen in any double, but even after a long setup delay, it was just nice that break was after that and some stayed on! Yay! 8 if i counted correctly, which is more than 50% (=
Same miracle happened for 06! PW was after my screening session, and Ms Yanti wasn't ard cuz of MC, so i had the next period all to myself to finish American History X! Yay! But some in 06 were falling asleep while some wanted to run off to see soccer. But they were nice and stayed on *CLAPS* =)
Okay, the story itself, i regret the very coarse language. Really sorry to my classes, but ignoring that, the movie is really something solid on the big D.
Then to 21, the first up for presentations. Sorry i looked very black face, although i didn't mean too, im like that. Sorry ya... Didn't mean to expect so much of you guys. Im jz a very "presentation" kind of person. I expect presenting views to come naturally, so appearing unprepared sort of, yes, pisses me off. But i guess i did overreact. Sorry, i'll see how things go on Friday, but as for tmr, jz enjoy k? I'll pray that somehow, the movie will fit once again.
Oh yeah, Holocaust Remembrance Day wasn't on Monday lar, even u guys said it was in January!
After school, it was tuition. Not too bad once again, except there was once question i didn't know. Maybe any of u guys can help me? Its on electrolysis. In order to coat a piece of plastic with Chromium, two plastic rods are thinly coated with graphite, connected to a battery and immersed in Chromium(III) sulphate solution. The question is, "Why will this method not work for Zinc?" I think it refers to reactivity series or E-naught values. Txs for any replies!
Ate macs for dinner. Sorry Tristan.
Slept!
Tuesday
Shall skip what happened after my class, but for 03, presentations started. Not too good as well, but hope it gets better! Then after the part i skipped, Ms Ng asked me to help her relief CG28 and 12 for her periods that day. Not too bad i suppose, cuz i took 28 and i knew some of them. The presentations were overall good, except the fact i didn't know that it was a double period until someone asked me. Haha, and too bad that guy is gonna get killed by his classmates. Oh well, things happen. Lol!
Then after that it was 12, with JoJo inside there before me. Aapparently, according to JoJo, some of them were scared of me and didn't dare ask for sweets from her. Haha, and they weren't as prepared as 28, but some in 28 were abt their level too. But i guess its jz me being over expectant of presentation standards...
Went for badminton after that at Sigplap CC. Wasn't on form today, and got tired real soon. Plus that CC is white, so hard to see the shuttle. And i tried my first few jumping smash from the back, or is it base, line. Realise i never actually could do that. So i tried today and ddn't turn out nice. Cuz from the back, i usually whack to opponents back or drop, can't smash cuz i dunno how to jump and smash. oH OH, Anyone up for a game of badminton?? I'll treat u bandung if u win? But if u in school team then diff story lar, cuz i failed the school team trials... haha.
Then went for tuition. On the way there, Mrs Quek told me its cancelled. On the way back, she said its on again. So i walked back again. There was this dog that barked at me 3 times lar.. I guess he was fed up too with me walking past his gate so many times. Haha.
Ate dinner at their house (so nice ryte, only God can provide such a nice tuition place!) and then taught tuition. Even had apple juice to drink while teaching! *BIG SMILES!!* Then headed home. Slept.
Wednesday
Relieved for Ms Ng again on 28. Not too bad, finished what i set out to do. And then had my own class. Not as good as i wanted, but yeah, its the over expectancy thing.
Major update of the day, Release of SC Results.
IT'S FINALLY HERE, THE 31st SC Elects.
Number of Councillors (without TA2) - 36
Number of TA2 (separate elections) - 6
Yes the 30th followed our "results slip method" but they stuffed it in a balloon and asked the nominees to burst it. Oh well.. Still had the "grade numerical" and "grade alphabetical". Haha, i still laugh when i see it!! I think the template is exactly the same. Jz modified.
There were happy people, abt 25 or more of them who came for the results ceremony. And there were the teary ones. Guys were the main crying ones. Diantha handled it very well i would say. Very proud of u! *smiles!!* Others jz left, while some had to be consoled. All in all, a solemn occasion.
So here you have it. The 31st Elects.
the full council - 42 (including a now merged TASC)
How the lockers will be allocated, i dunno, cuz there are 36 so maybe the Welfare Haven will have to make way. And TA2 councillors will face some discrimination maybe?
The SC room seriously isn't made for 42 ppl, so that'll be interesting to see. And new locker covers too! Haha, well, thats taking it a little far, council camp first. Be afraid Zhi Yuan, be very afraid. Know how to swim? Haha!
Oh Oh, this is an important part of my post!! Read read: Law Yifu Eve!!! Welcome to TJ for ur visit!!! I really thought i saw u, but i said, can't be lar, that's Julie only, can't be Eve. But guess what, it really was!!
And she so nice say she came back to see me!! Haha, although it was obviously Chinese Drama but ignorance is bliss. Haha. Talked quite a lot with her outside LT1. Sorry didn't go in and u had to fan urself with ZO Cards. Then finally went for dinner with Yumei, JarEN, YingEN, Zhi Yuan, Diantha, Aaron, and two other Elects whose names i can't spell. Haha... At BK. And it was my second meal out after a very very very nice lunch with JoJo and Eugene at Pizza Hut after they mistook our order! Yay, FREE LARGE PIZZA!
Shout outs
Cass-i'll be searching and praying
Dianthaaaaa-u've handled it really well
Zhi Yuan & Co- CONGRATS!! 31st Elect
Li Sze & Co-CONGRATS!! 5-0 thrashing
Shermin & Co-CONGRATS!! 4-0 thrashing

# dy/dx<0
Thursday
Today was a rather slow starting day. First up, apologies to Mr Eugene's student and Mr Eugene. Sorry I lost it. It's my fault.
Generally not feeling well and wanna get better in time for Monday's big firefly round two "interview" Still have to prepare my think big slides. Yupz. But generally day started off not too bad. I kind of enjoyed the 21 lesson, although i did most of the talking. Almost got everyone to speak. And covered the whole of introductin to discrimination.
But the only reason class sucked was cuz i was feeling like crap... Super lethargic but tried to teach to my best. Hope the lesson wasn't too bad ok. And to those new to 21, welcome to the lameness of my slideshows. =p. No apologies needed. And Sarah brought up a very good point i didn't think of while planning lessons. Kudos!
So i was feeling so lethargic and jz stoned in the sc room after dinner.. i mean lunch.. lol, im so tired. Then Jonathan called and asked me to go and collect some essays from CR523 cuz Ms Thangam is away. So I nicely went all the way up and saw about 7 people in the class. I thought, not bad, small class.
To my horror, they had no idea what work was to be done and so most of the class jz walked off. Haha, sorry Thangam, looks like no essay for u to mark. Of course i was pissed off i walked up 5 levels for nothing, but remained very very calm (yes i did ok...) and called Jonathan. Then he didn't pick up, so i was like.. ok.. come back to staffroom and explained e whole thing. Thangam, enjoy ur shock when u get back.
Then went to lesson with 03. 03 please i beg you, don't remind me of the 04 attitude problem. Please dun become like them. Please come early for lessons k?? Even 5 minutes late will be acceptable.. not 12.. really... dun push it..
Lesson with them was not too bad. Assigned the Genocide case studies. And then went through the elderly passage. I know this lesson didn't seemed well planned... cuz it wasn't. Arrghh.. was jz so lethargic by then. Let them off to finish their discussions and talked a bit with Carian and the ppl there. Carian insisted on getting my blog add so i hope u arrived here safely. Talked a bit abt what iplan to do in uni with them before the bell rang.
Once they left, i made sure they knew that GAMMA ROCKS!! Haha.. and Xuewen and someone who's voice i couldn't recognise cuz i didn't turn back when on chanting Doo-ga-ga-ga-ga...
Went to the staffroom after a LONG talk with Aaron, which i proceded to call Nelson, confirmed tuition was cancelled and then talked a lot in sc room. Finally got cass her letter and too bad "Mr Moi" wasn't ard. Funny thing i didn't tell u was Mr Moi is the name of my physics tuition teacher that made me love physics!! Went to lvl 3 staffroom to find out if he was there but ended up talking to Mr Terrence Ong and Mr Varella who got me to help him look for a worker.
Went to sc room after finding out that "Mr Moi" wasn't ard and cass went off with her juniors. I slacked in sc room a lot till Ni Ying came! Yay! Walked with her to the sports com after she was let down by the lack of an S! Haha, sounds wrong! But anyway, went off to sports com and Ni Ying didn't hear her friend calling her like 6 times. Haha.
Reached sports com and didn't notice Shu Li was there. Sorry hor. I offered her the job and apparently to her, Mr Varella is a funny name. And i apparently vetted her sms before she sent it. Yup, it was in proper english 9= Hope u get the job. Talked quite a lot. Watched the basketball guys and girls play. Sorry Ni Ying but i think the junior girls gave u seniors a really clean "trashing" but the guys, the seniors were like overpowering the juniors lar, although there's this one guy who's super good at blocking shots. He blocks like.... the height of 1 and a half ME! IMBA-tall and can jump so high summore.. Scary!
Then walked off and met cass who was still ard. Lol. Thought she left. And a basketball hit her. Haha. Oops, sorry i know u're reading this, but it was quite funny lar how it bounced and rolled and exactly knocked into ur leg. Hehe. Then she acted dao and didn't want to give e ball back. Haha. quite nonsensicle! (dunno how to spell it)
Then went back to sc room.. slacked... dinnered.. slacked.. came home.. blogged.. chatted... slept... haha. i hven slept yet lar, but yeah... slept!

# New Thursday
Haha, a quick little post before i run off for lessons again with the "new and improved" 03/07. Yups. Today has been quite eventful. Started off the day by seeing Mr Eugene do pull-ups and then came back to the igloo (read : staffroom) in the antartic (spelling error, i know).
Then the day got livelier (looks weird, maybe sp as well) as me,siok n aaron went to print the masterpiece crossword puzzle. i had the discounted 65 sheets while Siok and Aaron had 75 each. Within minutes we were done although Siok almost printed it wrongly as she's forgotten how to place the paper as Aaron gave a yawny-warning.
Left the place with our masterpiece but to ur horror, no.39 was missing! and so were two clues... So sad. So the masterpiece was actually incomplete. And Siok, who wants to save trees, decided to print it all again. We were like, write it on the white board lar *laughs together*
Then we decided to give clues and be nice RTs, which we always are btw =p so i surfed the net for pictures and created a rather nice automatic slideshow and soon it was time for lessons. Clues ranged from .... wait... i can't write it here or 21/07 will know the answer. Phew..
Yeah, it was a nice slideshow! Technically and aesthetically, for me at least. Met the new 21/07 in CR232. They were late, but considering their rojak combinations, I jz let it be. And after quite a while, they were all in except Shuming. She was at a medical checkup apparently but then she appeared right after my lesson... so suspicioius... the plaster must be fake! =p
The lesson was ok, i think. Maybe 21 could give some feedback? Did intros the way Ms Kwan did it with the old 04. Not too bad as i could roughly, very roughly, remember most of their names and associate them with relevant CCAs (cuz uniforms, are well... uniform) And they like Spanish footballers and chocolates. Then did the current affairs quiz with 5 groups. Here's how they fared. I think.. hehe
Polo Group - 7 - Winner!
Touch Group - 5 - Close second
Guys -1 - 4
Choir - 4
Soccer - 3
Me - 2
Haha, sorry if the scores are wrong, but yeah, i actually scored 2 points cuz they all got 2 questions wrong. Guys-1 cuz the last row were all guys except for Yee Wen (i think thats ur name? hehe) Choir cuz of SY (dunno her full name, and Valerie), Soccer-shermin and sarah, Polo-cuz they were all in TJ Polo (and Jianhui was spot on for them). Touch cuz of A Dell, ok ok, Adele and Yasmin.
Conclusion of this quiz
-they don't read newspapers
-Jianhui must have been lucky =p
-my laptop or the class is haunted
Then went off for lunch as today was Fryday. And Mr Eugene was late cuz of a Rubik's tutorial. Haha! Then as I was leaving, Phildia came back in with 21! Yay! Nice to meet her again and the first thing she said was that i cut my hair. And Zhi Yuan had to comment that my head looked smaller. Then talked with Phildia, Julie and the rest lar. Followed them to chem lab lesson with Ms Tay.
Phildia apparently doesn't like tall ppl. Or jz me. Haha. And it was quite funny cuz Ms Tay actually let Phildia in. And she was in a purple England top. Must have looked so weird. Oh oh, Julie is SLOW. haha
Then walked further on and saw Mr Eugene in the chem lab. And even funnier was Jojo who was stealing chemicals *sounds the alarm* Haha, so sad that the IP lab had no chemicals so she had to steal 4 bottles with droppers. Looked so funny. Yeah. Aactually thats all i wanted to blog about. Haha. Chemistry is so funny. First with Phildia in the lab in outside clothes, then JoJo stealing chemicals, and finally Ms Quah letting the students out late. And those students were 06. Im gonna see u people soon!
Alrights, back to being a tutor now..Labels: Aaron, Adele, Chemistry, Eugene, Jianhui, JoJo, Julie, Ms Tay, Phildia, Shermin, Siok, SY, Valerie, Yasmin, Yee Wen, Zhi Yuan
