我和周公有一个约会

回到家,洗了澡,眼睛就开始作祟了。

躺在床,合上眸,周公就摆开棋盘了:p

Students or "darlings"?

its very busy in this new year.

everyday is going back home later than ever.

sometimes just cannot understand why students have to make a racket even when it is just lining up to go to another class.

the worst part is that you can look at them and they can treat it as being stared at by another teacher is totally nothing to be reflected upon.

wonder what has got into their heads really.

and the courtesy is almost zero.

goodness.

Our Unit


Our Unit, originally uploaded by crassus08.

Today DE asked me "LX sir, how come you never teach drill anymore? If so the standard of the drill would not have dropped until like that. Look at them, the standard is very bad."

YH and I could only look at each other ... .... and immerse in the awkward silence.

MSHS NPCC

Today is the 40th birthday of Maris Stella High School NPCC Unit.

40 years have since passed when the unit first started. Thousands of cadets have come and went.

A parent asked MQ and me at the CCA Maze today if the the high standards set by the unit (7 years consecutive gold) means cadets will be doing poorly in their studies, and i replied that it actually helps them in their time management if they put in effort.

She was surprised when she realised that both of us were ex cadets from the school.

Maybe that very fact was more than any explanation or convincing in the world: we were living examples of the excellence that we were advertising.

What kind of CCA would prompt ex cadets to come back and serve more than 10 years after graduation?

Will we carry on to be what we used to be?

Everyday 630am reach school,
every night wake up 3 to 5 times,
stayed back late till 9pm,
earliest was 4pm,
earliest time slept was 830pm,
time to wake up 5am,
latest time to sleep 12am,
less than 20 scripts marked,
hundreds of admin sheets completed,
hundreds more to go,
students behaviour to correct,
life of a no-life teacher.

成功

今天学生在作文里写了这么一句话:"成功就是找到一份合适的工作,并且有足够的消遣时间。"

顿然感触犹多。

现今的新加坡人都是如此吗?

迷失的船

有一些人就是过于注重形式,本末倒置。

为什么重要的不做,反而追求奢华?难道我们的目光就如此短浅?

我们都迷失了吗?

2007

2007 年降临之一刻,脑海突然浮起这样的念头:光阴似箭!

06 年之不再,时间确实已抛弃了我们。

过去的一年,我们是否有许多未完成的愿望?有遗憾吗?我们争取到了什么?失去了什么?

这一年是否过得有意义?

新的一年将会是怎样的光景?

你做好准备了吗?
