Whatever the result

A school whereby students know how to behave, show appreciation, be not rowdy and uncivilized.

That's where good results come from.

A school whereby students take advantage, not caring about everyone around, makes noise as and when they please and doing all sorts of malicious things...

That's when we produce hooligans and professional cheaters.

Is running a school really that tough?

Bound by too much restrictions?

Parent is king?

Hopes

Somehow i asked myself, what happened to the days when students love their school and vice versa?

The love for learning and the passion for life, the motivation to happiness and the zeal... somehow all seems displaced.

Seems impossible; the thought of students happily going to school everyday and putting in effort for studies, aiming for the best results they could put their efforts upon. Teachers teach with zeal and students learn with a lust for knowledge.

Emotions aside? Sincerity? Hardwork? Determination?

The attainment of more than just a certificate? The desire to achieve beyond one's abilities and talents? Sacrifices?

Maybe it's just another wishful thinking of mine...

The meaning of a glum face

Haha finally another topic to write about.

My facial expression! LOL

oh well.. many students say i always pull a long face in school.

The truth is, i haven't had a clue as to why it is so. It's natural if you were to ask me. Some students and even colleagues say that i look very fierce with that long-as-horse face.

Then some friends say i am 嘴硬心軟..

Well i really haven't really gave it much thought, but in certain ways, maybe it's because of work? It's really not cliche to say that teachers are often overworked nowadays... maybe i am always pulling a long face because i feel overworked?

Not to say that it has no advantages!

Sometimes i don't have to speak a single word and the students understand what i mean. Angry... unhappy... displeased...

Or maybe i want to tell students that i am serious.

haha i think my brain is not working fine now... so maybe i will talk about this in more detail next time.. if there is a next time :p

省

没想到,让我会心一笑的竟会是学生的日记。

它让我再度重温当初教书的热忱……苏醒了……陶醉了……

别迷失、勿忘怀

每日都是新的开始!

Lame 02 and 03

Teacher: Why do you have so many barang barang?
Student: Because i got a bow to carry, teacher, very heavy leh..

Teacher: Aiya, why don't you change to a lighter bow then?
Student: Where got lighter bow?

Teacher: Got, you just need to ask the elves for it.. in fact you can ask Lady Galadriel what... they have light but sturdy bows for you to shoot with!
Student: (diao~~)

=========================================================

Teacher: What happened to your hand? How come there's a burnt mark?
Student: I burnt myself while forging the one ring.

Teacher: You should have been more careful, my dear Sauron..
Student: #$%^&^*&

Results?

After 1000 pellets shot in the rifle range, 12 hrs of solid training, 3 dry shoot visits, we are proud to announce an almost 100% marksmen record.

But sometimes are results really that important?

Makes me wonder sometimes...

Student: Teacher, i never play with the ring la.

Teacher: Don't bluff... give me the ring, i am going to disappear after putting it on.
Student: Teacher, don't bluff la.

Teacher: who says?
(takes the ring and put on his finger)

Teacher: See i disappear already.
Student: Teacher, you are blocking my eyes!

Frustrating

So frustrating! Its now 1906 hrs and i am still at the office doing admin for NPCC!

Then cadets are having learning journey tmr and i have to write excuse letter so they can go shooting practice again... arrgghhzz... how am i going to finish my marking in time ever?

Suddenly i realised there isnt much time till the coming of the Chinese New Year celebrations.

There were so many things to do and the Classification shoot is also on the very same day. Then Ezra wanted us to send our boys for shooting first so that they could proceed for parade later.

OC said that the drawing of the M16 rifles would be a problem as we form up part of the guard of honour. Then there was the worry of not getting enough marksmen on the same day.

Can we get enough rehearsals for the CNY? How are we going to coordinate the performances and massive groups of people?

Marking?

Lessons?

It just seems like many many late hours...
