hullo. contrary to popular belief, no i didnt get hiv after spending two weeks in thailand and decided to lie low. in fact, had one of the best and most meaningful time there ever! here's sth that anyone who might decide to go on future mission trips shld ponder about: don't go there thinking that u're more fortunate than them or whatever. you'll be so humbled at realising how totally flawed that thinking is and that there's just so much that they have which we don't. and i think God really smacked that lesson right into me during the time i was there! leave that for some other time.

updates. i've been working, wrong. slaving away at a pri sch the past month. cut story short. basically, got assigned the 2nd worst p4 class. there're these self proclaimed 'four heavenly kings' who are really mischievous/disruptive students to the point that they made their eng/sci/math teacher quit. pro-ness. i realised what i got myself into only 30s into my first encounter with them. only their chi teacher's left, who basically cant run away cos shes their form teacher! and i ended up becoming their eng/sci teacher. thus taking over half of their timetable up, seeing them even more than their form teacher. oh forgot, social studies too.

soo much rubbish to mark. spelling, ws, tests, workbooks.. and now i know why i always wondered why my pri sch teachers all seemed deranged to me, always screaming their heads off. tried many methods, but the only way these kids listen to you is if ur voice thrashes the whole class' combined! i swear giving commands to a whole company of soldiers is 6.5 times easier than 42 screaming kids. it aint easy, cos the only time i shout's usually..no, unusually! ok la at my mum and sister. the louder, the more love shown!

but the majority of them's damn funny and even lovable. this coming from someone who hates kids. the p6s are fun bunch. so cheeky. scold me for not being attached. wth! always matchmaking me with random classmates, much to my horror. and they get damn fed up everytime i say siao ah so young! haiz..kids..always thinking they're all grown up alr! and there are some who want to intro me to their cousins or sisters around my age haha! these 'accident' kids.. so every week at least one new case of love develops in class. highly entertaining, these permutations.

but its terrible how everywhere in sch i walk, some random kid will scream my name out of nowhere like i owe them money. over zealous friendly creatures. sometimes they scream from three floors above.

i love my job! half day only! i am almost overpaid heh heh..
