Saturday, January 28, 2006 honestly speaking, all of us are not looking forward to it we've no idea how our close bonds will be affected and our close working relationship as of now one good news would be that in the building that i'm assigned to, the four of us managed to get our balloting with good seats and we're sitting right next to each other went out for lunch with two other colleagues in the afternoon and we ate so much! since the announcement of APS, everyone has been in a relatively good mood three of us shared half a duck, a plate of roasted chicken and char siew, one dumpling soup, along with our set of rice and drink it was such a filling lunch! treat from thane, the joker. late afternoon, gab and me went down sports school to negotiate a programme for the students becos of its high security and secluded area, it was far to walk out and flag a cab and no cab comes in either we were about to call for one when we spotted a red london cab driving in to drop some ang moh kids wow! first time in london cab..and it was flag-down! in the evening, a bunch of us (the KL gang and two others) went out for new year dinner and spent a great deal of time complaining about our work but through everything, we were glad that we had each other's support it's going to take a lot for us to keep the bonds when we're split into different buildings one more month to enjoy each other's company. on wed, the year 1s had their understanding tests and becos i was the invigilator for one block, i was assigned with one temp staff to help me out since there were 10 classes and thus, 10 files to carry a student from smu, and he ended up asking for my msn at the end of it. he even asked how to get in to work in my dept. my colleagues went "ooorrrhh. your bf has competitor!" he, competitor? i dun think so!! =) APS came as a pleasant surprise to most of us known as achievement and productivity scheme, it aims to reward every individual who has helped the institution to attain its KPI in 2005 so even though some of us do not have performance bonus this year because we were not confirmed last year, we still have a share in APS oh, by the way, my confirmation letter came last week when i accepted the e-letter, it then hit upon me that i've been here for half a year! certainly doesn't feel like it as well as the fact that, i've only 4 more lessons with my students this semester before they graduate and do the school proud time flies so fast, and especially when events pop up one after another sometimes, i wish time will stop for a few mins and i can catch my breath but i know since the confirmation letter has come, the months ahead are just going to get more packed. //posted by ivy @ 15:01//
Sunday, January 15, 2006 ever since the week started, we've been running everywhere to make sure that everything is fine it sure doesn't help to have certain people in the main comm cos we were all angry at certain points in time we stayed till midnight on fri at new campus to make sure the rooms are okie and presentable when i came back home, i then realised that the logistics for sat has not been settled and at the ridiculous time of 1am, i was sms-ing and calling some of my closer colleagues to get help, and feeling really angry. fell asleep and woke up at 6am again with many sms-es and calls they were equally pissed off for the last min information but were nice enough to render help which was very much needed i could have ignored the whole issue and let the day I/C bear the consequences becos she was supposed to be the one doing all these my colleagues were all telling me not to pick up the loose ends she left over becos it isn't fair and i've my share as well on monday since i'm I/C for mon on one hand, i gotta say i was very irritated and i did whine to some of them on the other, i'm only glad that i put the dept interest over my irritation and get things going without flaring up at anybody open-house is only less than halfway through and we're all tired. //posted by ivy @ 13:36//
Tuesday, January 10, 2006 and it's been as hectic as ever everyone is buzzing around with open-house as the main agenda all of a sudden, grading the students dun seem to be the priority anymore my calendar is filling itself up automatically with meeting invites from various areas departmental lunch with the principal tmr i dunno what to expect and the weirdest thing has to be that my director and boss have both decided that i shall take a ride in his car to the lunch venue gave me a shock when the email came.. what am i supposed to do/say on the journey there?? gulps. i dun suppose i'm a good entertainer in any sense i'm worried sick on how am i suppose to cope with the upcoming program with SSS having a meeting with director and my boss next week i have absolutely no idea what to say during the meeting or what my role is i gotta say that the biggest challenge being in the dept as a fresh grad is that i'm thrown everywhere and left alone to survive, and somehow...somehow, i've to survive rainy days doesn't really aid me in finishing up my work it makes me function slower than ever and makes going out a chore password has been removed i'm getting irritated at having to enter something everytime i enter my own homepage incident not settled yet and it'll never be settled all i ask for is the emotional endurance which i definitely lack i'm so grateful for my buddy who forces me to sit down and blah out everything so that i dun explode one day she makes sure that im still emotionally stable and i'm alright no one knows how i feel except her because she has been through it years ago thanks buddy! //posted by ivy @ 12:50//
Wednesday, January 04, 2006 a few of my colleagues had to hear me vent my frustrations and i was so angry that i might really just end up sending an email to director of SIT i'm definitely in no fault whatsoever, therefore i've every right to send the email but i know if i do, the particular student will get into huge trouble and most likely, i'll get pestered much much more 8 more weeks... i'll survive through. //posted by ivy @ 17:40//
Tuesday, January 03, 2006 first day of school but it happens to be my last day of lesson with my day 3 class today as well some of them asked why i dropped them sigh, as though i've any choice because if i had, i would definitely have dropped another class some students are really, seriously driving me up the wall they made me yell silently in frustration each time i stepped into class how i wish... they are no longer my students but that is just wishful thinking a colleague told me some information regarding one of my students today and i nearly flipped after listening to her - student X wanted to commit suicide when the news that i'm going to drop a class came about - student X has been bawling like a baby because i don't response in msn/email/class - student X has been drafting long, long emails to everybody telling them about how depressing it's that i'm not showering attention, love and care now you tell me if you were me, how would you respond? after my colleague told me all that, i wanted to bawl and scream and draft long emails to my directors and request to drop him/her as my student! this is absolutely insane and emotionally-draining! what a start to the year... //posted by ivy @ 20:36//
Monday, January 02, 2006 there are many, many things running through my mind which i've no intention to blog them down nonetheless, i know that it's not going to be an easy journey ahead be it personally or spiritually; at work or at home; with friends or colleagues. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom..." my only new year resolution is that i'll learn to fear God. //posted by ivy @ 16:31// |
